EXCLUSIVE — REPORTER WILLIAM J. KELLY: My source within Cook County Jail tells me that Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman's accused killer, Jose Medina, was just found with a six-inch metal shank concealed in his waistband. The weapon reportedly had a handle wrapped in medical tape. Medina is currently being housed in the general population of the Cermak Health Services unit at Cook County Jail.
According to my source, criminal charges related to the incident could be announced as early as today or Monday.
If confirmed, the discovery could undermine his defense attorney's claim that Medina is handicapped and suffers from brain damage. #thatreporter

So let me get this straight.
Stratton want to become Illinois' next senator, but her entire platform consists of a hatred for Trump and abortion rights.
Her strategy makes sense: Stratton's apocalyptic predictions about Trump are intended to conceal her uncompromisingly radical positions.
Hopefully, voters will see right through her.

@ChicagoContrar1@ChicagosMayor Brandon holds a B.A. in Human Services and an M.A. in Teaching from Aurora University. Nothing in that background suggests expertise in data analysis, and it shows.
"Vargas also acknowledged that before analyzing response times, his students removed all 911 calls involving shots fired from the city’s dataset."
Hmmm, so UChicago Justice Project produced junk science and @ChicagosMayor swallowed it whole.
Hey Brandon Johnson, don’t go after social media as it free speech . Go after the criminals. You have blood on your hands. These kids are victims of the chaos you create by not arresting criminals. SHAME ON YOU.

This is all coded language for "jails and incarceration, and law enforcement is a sickness."
Let's not forget this buffoon couldn't maintain control over a classroom of middle-schoolers.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is in Rome today, May 28, 2026, meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican as part of a 45-member delegation discussing immigration, poverty, and international affairs.
The trip runs May 26–30 — and while Chicago taxpayers continue dealing with crime, teen takeovers, rising taxes, struggling businesses, and public safety concerns back home, Chicago Flips Red was very surprised to see who ended up on the guest list for this taxpayer-funded trip to Rome, Italy.

Democratic leaders are turning a blind eye to what matters most to you. We need accountability.
Safety isn’t a partisan issue!
You shouldn’t be dreading warmer temps.
Your car shouldn’t be trampled by wayward teens while the mayor and elected officials look the other way.
I’m a parent of young children so I know all to well that kids aren’t going to just choose to do better.
They need structure.
They need investment, but they and their parents also need consequences when the rules are repeatedly disregarded.
I won’t ignore what worries you most at night because I share those same concerns as your neighbor.
