I will never take Chicago dining for granted. You can go to any part of the city and there are amazing food options. We have the best food scene in the country.

A tad bit dramatic, methinks. Developers will still build parking where it makes sense, but cities can’t keep using it as an excuse to block growth. The Trib Ed Board calling People Over Parking “Orwellian” is more than a reach…it’s upside down. Orwell wrote about govt’s. that

when mamdani wins, i want to see no less from the next chicago mayoral elections. if they can do it, so can we

Across the country, a pattern is emerging. Donald Shoup (RIP) is ascendant: Parking reform won big everywhere -- the car industry is losing its lock on our urban land, and voters are ending its driving mandates. And transit is getting $$$. *This is the affordability agenda.*

Perfect example of why jury trials matter. The government had to argue—in public—that throwing a sandwich at a man in a bulletproof vest caused “fear of immediate bodily harm.” And the jury called that what it was: overreach. Prosecutors shouldn’t go unchecked.

cta planning on making the orange line 24 hours is so awesome but imo they should take the opportunity to through-run brown & orange line trains (at least overnight) so that everything from kimball to midway can be 24 hour. they already run occasional rush hour trains like that!!

Since the passage of this bill, the CTA’s acting president has begun laying out her ambitious plan for 2026, including 24 hour service on the Orange Line to Midway, and expanding the “fast and frequent” bus routes from 20 to 30. This is what happens when you fund transit.

I'm sorry but the national media would have had multiple strokes if Joe Biden was sleeping/passed out in his chair in the Oval Office.

A WBEZ and Sun-Times analysis found Democrat-led states like Illinois have lower murder and violent crime rates than some Republican-led states, along with fewer undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

Let’s be 100% clear: If Dems cave right now instead of Reps nuking the filibuster, then Dems will be solely responsible for our healthcare costs skyrocketing, and handing Trump pure unlimited power. Telling your opposition (who is trying to kill you) that you will always fold.

this “deal” is embarrassingly bad, doesn’t even include ACA funding, and every Dem who supports it deserves to be primaried Trump is reeling right now, his popularity is crumbling, and he keeps flailing and making stupid decisions. bailing him out now is just totally insane

I was told DePaul is in the Big East conversation. Almost like they haven’t been good since the 80s… There’s one basketball school in Chicago. And it requires being IN CHICAGO not Evanston Go Loyola Men's Basketball

Obama gave trump an fully recovered and stable economy and he destroyed it Biden gave trump an economy that was recovering faster than any other on earth, with the longest record of month to month jobs gains ever in history and, once again, he has destroyed it.

Always remember that when this crew opposes something— it’s actually good for Chicagoans

"We spend so much money on homelessness but people are still in the streets" Yeah because we give it to hundreds of random companies with varying efficacy + standards and don't use the money to build permanent affordable housing and fund healthcare which is the real solution.

The New Yorker story is chilling: shutting down USAID has already killed 600,000 people, most of them children. For no reason other than Elon Musk’s ego, Marco Rubio’s complicity, & Republican Members of Congress’ cult-like loyalty to Trump. Devastating. newyorker.com/culture/the-ne…

If we’re going out on a date and I find out you voted for Trump beforehand, I will cancel it.

🚨CBS found that out of 600+ people ICE grabbed in Chicago, only 16 had criminal histories. Sixteen. Trump turned the entire country upside down, raided neighborhoods, and terrorized families for a number so small it wouldn’t fill a classroom, all while pardoning actual

‘defund the police’ doesn’t mean cops get $0 it means they get $2.75 billion instead of $3.3 billion and the difference gets spent on mental healthcare professionals who will help you without shooting your dog.
