The Chicago Bears signed a purchase agreement to construct an Arlington Heights stadium in 2021.
The Bears worked for 5 YEARS to get Illinois government on board with the plan.
Governor JB Pritzker is asleep at the wheel.
The Chicago Bears are building their own stadium with no taxpayer funds.
The team requested help with public infrastructure: roads, sidewalks, sewers, etc.
Illinois leadership is incompetent from the top down.
A historic franchise may now head to Indiana because of it.
"It's a miracle we got anything done," on the Bears, says Senate President Don Harmon. "There was no appetite at all to provide public dollars to a $10 billion sports franchise. We love the Bears... but there was an undercurrent in our caucus not to do anything."

@RepShontelBrown This post isn’t rooted in reality but has now been liked 14k times. This is a ridiculous lie about Chairman Comer. He publicly released Lutnick’s transcript on the Oversight Committee website shortly after the interview. Hey @grok can we get a Community Note? @CommunityNotes
Chairman Comer made the Lutnick transcript publicly available shortly after the interview.

Rep. Brown is just lying for likes.
When Howard Lutnick found out he had to testify in front of the Oversight Committee, he gave $5 MILLION to a House Republican PAC.
Shortly after donating, James Comer announced his testimony would never be seen by the public. This is blatant corruption. He should be fired.

🚨More than 80 suspiciously timed trades were placed ahead of Iran military operations.
🚨Politicians and government officials with inside information are placing bets and taking profits.
This insider trading must end.
I’m demanding info from @Polymarket & @Kalshi.👇

NBC has called the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Representative in Kentucky's 1st Congressional District with James Comer @RepJamesComer as the projected winner.
Years ago, Oversight Chair James Comer met with D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to discuss a plan to bring the @Commanders back to RFK.
He spearheaded the legislation, and their unexpected partnership reshaped the course of D.C. history.
I’ll never stop telling the story.
Every stadium deal is complex, but the Commanders’ return to RFK topped them all. With @davidaldridgedc, on one of the biggest coups is D.C. history ….

The House Oversight committee will get a briefing today on the shooting at the WHCD from:
Secret Service Director Sean Curran, Deputy Director Matthew Quinn, Chief Richard Macaulay, and Assistant Director Darryl Volpicelli from the Office of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs will attend, according to a person familiar with the plan.
🚨Following last night’s assassination attempt against @POTUS Trump at the WHCD, the House Oversight Committee has requested a briefing from U.S. Secret Service.
DHS, including Secret Service, has been unfunded for more than 70 days now.
It’s time to stop the games & fund DHS.
