@Johnhenrygreen1 So true

[Mayor Brandon Johnson @ChicagosMayor]

Two powerful Chicago organizations have teamed up today. Chicago-based Invenergy – global developer, owner and operator of clean energy solutions– along with its subsidiary, Reactivate, announced a partnership with the Chicago Cubs to power iconic Wrigley Field with clean energy.

@robertloerzel Caught this picture of maybe the same carp at the Montrose Pier on Sunday

Not to be dramatic but this is the end of the world for people who bike to the Loop down Milwaukee and Halsted

@JakeSheridan_ Heard he’s known to occasionally write riveting pieces regarding public interpretation of the Bean’s curvature too

Follow my friend and college classmate Jake for any and all things Chicago City Hall!!

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

I've got news! I'm now a City Hall reporter for @chicagotribune.

I'll be covering local politics with a focus on the City Council starting next week. I'm excited and am feeling lucky I get to work with the Trib's incredible City Hall team to try to make Chicago a little better.

The stage is set 👀

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

Bikes, bikes, bikes, bikes, bikes.

Love to see this cover in the @chicagotribune's Life + Travel section this Sunday. And really proud of my story on @RAGBRAI_IOWA — a look into the 500-mile bike rides of a teen battling cancer & a veteran rider who has outlasted friends.

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

It's really hard to put into a few words why you should check out this feature-y story that I think shows two people's really moving journeys and gets into the sometimes transformative power of biking and community. This one matters a lot to me.

So, uh, 😵‍💫read this please😵‍💫

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

50 years ago, two @DMRegister journalists convinced their bosses to let them bike across Iowa for work, and RAGBRAI was born.

This week, I’m following in their footsteps. I’m biking 500 miles this week for @chicagotribune. Let’s ride.

Here's a map of violent crime in Chicago over the last five years (left) and a map of mayoral election results by precint (right).

The areas hit hardest by violence voted for Brandon Johnson, who campaigned hard on alternatives to policing, instead of tough-on-crime Paul Vallas.

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

The race for Chicago Mayor is crazy close. How close? Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson are separated by .1% right now.

Patagonia’s founder gave the $3 billion company to a set of trusts and nonprofits meant to combat climate change. https://t.co/SnFO1ceCMy

@JakeSheridan_ @chicagotribune Congrats, Jake!!

In the news 110 years ago today.. #climatechange

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

I saw in Highland Park a community grappling with love, grief & anger, a shattered town that must now figure out the new way its pieces fit together.

I really hope you read & share this. My latest on the Fourth of July mass shooting, for @chicagotribune:

“Scheetz, who is all but guaranteed to be elected to the Iowa House from the solidly Democratic district, would become one of about 25 current state legislators across the country of Arab American descent.”
