Dick Durbin: "Do you remember how they explained it? We were going after the worst of the worst. The terrorists, the rapists, the murderers, the child predators."
Trump asked @JBPritzker and @ChicagosMayor for cooperation to round up the "worst of the worst" and both told the president to buzz off.
And where were you, Dick? Did you demand Pritzker and Johnson cooperate with the White House to arrest violent illegals?
No. Not one word from you.
And now you are trying to portray lawful deportations as inhumane.
Your behavior here, and all the lies you told, are further tarnishing your disgraceful legacy.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: The @USDA is spending MILLIONS to build a Muslim halal food pipeline into American PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
This isn’t just funding a few alternative lunches.
Washington is financing the producers, the halal slaughterhouse AND a “HALAL MEAL PRODUCTION LAB” for K-12 schools. 🧵
We've learned two CPD were shot at 79th and Clyde late this afternoon.
We're told the two officers were chasing a thug with a gun.
The thug fired at CPD. One officer was struck in the arm; the second officer was hit in the vest.
Both CPD were taken to U of C Hospital.
Thug was shot and thug's gun was recovered.
No word on the thug's condition, nor do we care.
Mayor Johnson wants $425 million for Chicago Fire (European Football, aka soccer) stadium, but the Democrats can't figure out how to support a stadium for Chicago Bears. It would be both comical and idiotic if Johnson and his alderman actually go through with a subsidy like this, but I'm sure all the new immigrants will be happy.

I live in Illinois
My governor, who I sure as hell didn’t vote for, just signed a tax on every crypto transaction I make
The same Governor that has raised taxes 61x while Illinois has the highest property and state tax in the country
The Digital Asset Tax Act (DATA), buried inside a $56 billion budget bill was added last-minute too
0.2% on every exchange, transfer, or custody activity
Every
single
transaction
The tax hits transactions not gains so you could lose money on a trade and still owe these criminals
The Crypto Council for Innovation called it "the most punitive digital asset tax in the country" and they're right
No state in America taxes stock trades, bond trades, or derivatives this way. Zero.
This only applies to crypto in which these clowns understand zero about
Welcome to the most crypto hostile state in America💀
I shared this note earlier today with the entire team at Opendoor.
Today we began to say goodbye to our colleagues in India as we wind down our India operations.
Our customers are in America, and that's where our operational work belongs.
RAW VIDEO: I Cornered Pritzker About The Chicago Bears — And He Refused To Answer 🚨
I went to Gov. Pritzker's presser today and here's what happened:
Gov. Pritzker said he didn't want taxpayers spending billions to help a billionaire family keep the Chicago Bears in Chicago. But he's a billionaire himself. 💰
And he's been more than happy — even proud — to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens.
So I asked him: "We all know the Bears generate revenue. Illegal aliens typically are a drain on taxpayer dollars. Do you think long-term, especially when you're running for President of the United States, losing the Chicago Bears will be a bad decision?"
Pritzker refused to answer. Instead, he blamed Greg Abbott and defended spending billions on illegal aliens.
So I followed up: "Would those taxpayer dollars have been better spent on American citizens?" Pritzker refused to answer that, too.
When a governor can't answer a straight question from a reporter, taxpayers should ask themselves why. #thatreporter
The Bears leaving Chicago is another sign of Chicago's decline—and a political black eye for Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson.
America's third-largest city is losing its NFL team.
The Chicago Bears have been a central part of Chicago's cultural identity for more than a century. They aren't just a football team. They're part of the heart and soul of this city. But what would Pritzker and Johnson know about the city’s heart and soul? Johnson is from Elgin and Pritzker was born and raised in California.
In the end, it's about choices. Pritzker and Johnson found billions for the migrant-industrial complex—vendors, contractors, and shelter operators—but couldn't find $855 million for infrastructure to keep the Bears in Chicago.
The Bears are a return on investment.
The migrant-industrial complex isn't.
To Pritzker and Johnson, the Bears were just another stadium deal. But millions of working-class Chicagoans sat through losing and winning seasons, freezing Sundays, and decades of heartbreak because the Bears belonged to Chicago. And now... they won't. #thatreporter
One of the most incompetent administrations in Chicago history “Ghetto Corporate” flies to Rome, Italy to meet with Pope Leo XIV for what appears to be little substance or measurable benefit to the people back home.
Meanwhile, Chicago residents are still being shot daily, neighborhoods remain neglected, and the theft and stripping of properties in blighted communities continues to be treated like a taboo subject.
Nobody in power wants to seriously discuss how land, demolitions, abandoned buildings, and redevelopment deals connect back to TIF money and political influence — because for many of them, that money pipeline is too important.
While struggling families deal with violence, rising taxes, displacement, and instability, city leadership continues prioritizing optics, political networking, and international photo opportunities over accountability at home.
We are comin for those seats

STOP THE PRESSES! New video from Chicago Mayor Johnson's pressers.
Chicago Mayor Johnson refused to answer my questions yesterday about waste, fraud, and abuse tied to his lavish Rome trip with an eight-person entourage — plus his personal police security.
Instead of answers, I got ducking, dodging, staff interruptions, and the usual attempt to shut me down.
So today, I gave him another chance.
Johnson said the purpose of the trip was to deliver the Pope a Cubs hat. I told him Chicago taxpayers could save a lot of dough if he just mailed the cap.
Then came the real question: who’s picking up the tab?
Johnson says no taxpayer money is being used. But World Business Chicago is funding the trip — and World Business Chicago is funded by the City of Chicago. Johnson is also the chair.
Then I asked if anybody doing business with City Hall is going with him to Rome. His answer? He said he didn’t have the guest list. C’mon. Does that sound straight to you?
Chicago deserves answers from Mayor Johnson. Watch the full video.
A virus or some other pathogen emerges somewhere in the world.
The media shifts into apocalyptic mode.
"Experts" appear to be predicting catastrophe.
Computer models project millions dead, if the right circumstances coalesce.
Politicians declare emergencies.
Pharmaceutical companies announce new products.
Social media turns into a digital panic attack.
And ordinary people, who just wanted to buy eggs and walk the dog, suddenly feel like civilization is one cough away from collapse.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
This is how psychological bioterrorism works.
The pathogen itself matters less than the emotional payload attached to it.
The stepsister of alleged cop killer Alphanso Talley had a few words to say about Alphanso:
"He wasn't in his right state of mind"
"The story doesn't add up."
"He's a very innocent man"
"He's a loving and caring person"
Either she is delusional, or she thinks we are.
No farmer is buying fertilizer today. They buy fertilizer in the fall after harvest.
You’d know this if you really represented farmers.
But you’re a city boy. Dems gerrymandered western mass to ensure farmers get an ignoramus to use them as props.
30 years in DC. Try harder.
