Mayoral candidate Susana Mendoza hits the mark on CPD perfectly:
"I have full faith and confidence in our Chicago Police Department; they are the best of the best. What we don't have is an administration on the 5th floor that believes in holding criminals accountable."
"We have to let them (CPD) do their job."
Well done, Ms. Mendoza.

Watch Scott Galloway eviscerate Trump, Scott Bessent, and their fucked-up tariff policy that has alienated our allies, bankrupted working class families, and destroyed the "envy of the world" economy President Biden handed to Dirty Donald. 😳👇
The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on.
So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result.
One of the greatest posts/perspectives/shares in the wrestling community ever…
Bravo @cylersanderson! 👏🏼
I’ll never forget all the extra time spent at practices, workouts and tournaments with my Dad & Brother. In the moment you don’t realize it- those trips and rides seem mundane. But, that time is precious. One of my favorite things to see during the NCAA finals are the families- because you can feel their passion and closeness, whether watching in person or on screen. You can tell they have been on a journey together, one that has brought them closer.
Wrestling is a family sport and a journey! 🙌🏼
"Joe's swing was purely natural, he was the perfect hitter. He batted against spitballs, shineballs, emeryballs and all the other trick deliveries. He never figured anything out or studied anything with the same scientific approach I gave it. He just swung.
If he'd ever had any knowledge of batting, his average would have been phenomenal, he seemed content to just punch the ball, and I can still see those line drives whistling to the far precincts.
Joe Jackson hit the ball harder than any man ever to play baseball and was the finest natural hitter in the history of the game."

It's not too often we find a reason to praise @mattoshea19, but today he distinguished himself in Council.
Speaking with a passion and urgency in favor of the snap curfew, O'Shea noted when Police Districts are stripped of officers to tend to teen takeovers or protests downtown, residents across the city are deprived of the CPD protection they deserve.
O'Shea made an important point about shortages to CPD personnel and expressed his concern with residents' safety.
For this, Mr. O'Shea deserves a round of applause.
