Strong video evidence and persistent detective work by CPD has led to an arrest in the March 9 shooting of a 46 year-old tourist in Streeterville during a teen takeover event. The investigation into another shooting during a similar event that wounded a teen March 28 continues.

2027 Mayoral speculation has already begun. Is Congressman Mike Quigley thinking about throwing his hat in? “I’m as concerned as anyone with the situation in Chicago, from any number of circumstances including financial. Ask me again in a year…” more ⁦@fox32news⁩ 5p

CPS leaders updating on labor contract negotiations, says CTU demands would amount to 10-12% annual raises , 13,000 additional staff, and cost the district $10 billion over the next four years - as the district faces $500 million annual structural deficit. @fox32news

With 99% of Chicago precincts reporting, I am calling the 1st Chicago school board district for Jennifer Custer and the 10th Chicago school board district for Che "Rhymefest" Smith. Overall, 4 districts for CTU, and 6 against. #twill #electiontwitter

[Frank Calabrese @FrankCalabrese]

With 97% of Chicago precincts reporting, 8 school board races have been called. D2 for DeBerry, D3 for Rivas, D4 for Rosenfeld, D5 for Brown (uncontested), D6 for Biggs, D7 for Lopez, D8 for Gutierrez & D9 for Boyle. The teachers union won 2, and lost 5. #twill #electiontwitter

Iowa Poll: Kamala Harris pulls ahead in state Donald Trump won twice

This is a stunning poll. But Ann Seltzer has as stellar a record as any pollster of forecasting election outcomes in her state.
Women are powering this surge. Portents for the country?? https://t.co/CNJfcQKXja

.@ChiPubSchools spends $100 M yearly on its 20 emptiest schools. And it wants to spend another $1 B on them.

Like $35 M more on Douglass, which is at just 3.8% of its capacity. And where zero kids can read. Via @Wirepoints

*Again, Y’all are showing out. Retirement ain’t what it used to be. I didn’t think you even knew my name…didn’t you call me “that lady” election night—on air? But, Twitter and I didn’t even tag you. Hit dogs will *always* holler. No Bahamas for you?

[MikeFlanneryFOX32 @PoliticalEditor]

I’ve never talked to Carlson and I know Paris hasn’t either. Speaking for myself, you’re absolutely right. I’m very proud to see @paschutz holding important public figures to account.

[⭐️ SDG ⭐️AKA Muse of Chicago Trib Editorial Board @stacydavisgates]

Tucker Carlson and Mike Flannery are proud. 😘

[FOX 32 Sports @fox32sports]

The Bears sent the first overall pick to Carolina in March 2023, and so far it's the gift that keeps on giving.

@CassieCarlsonTV gives her Bear Necessities on the trade that shaped these two franchises.

This is an excellent summary from a regular Chicagoan who cares about improving the city's finances rather than further deteriorating them. I urge Chicago Aldermen to plz do a deep dive into this proposed bond deal. Seek greater transparency, accountability & fiscal discipline.
