New York City is the most famous place in the world for immigration - a living testament to how immigrants created the most powerful economy in the US.
There’s a reason our nation’s most famous monument is a reminder to welcome them.🗽
That’s about as American as it gets.🇺🇸
I’ve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:
“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”
Here is my answer:
@levengood Trying to honestly understand: Would your opinion on the ordinance change if it were coupled with a law prohibiting police from stopping due to speeding (unless 16mph+ over), and instead relying on automated cameras solely for enforcement (if they were allowed everywhere)?
Another NASCAR Chicago taxpayer cost: $621,971 to pay for closed parking spots, I learned via FOIA.
The two-year costs further complicates the financial analysis as the race's longterm future hangs in the balance. For @chicagotribune: https://t.co/XZnDS7rFJ8
@mollyfleck@mipolitico Did Field change this recently? I was there last summer and I thought I went in on the big north entrance (although they do have that east entrance too). Defintely exited that way because I could see NASCAR drivers warming up.
@itskylelucas I wonder if this was the result of delays. I was trying to get one stop south from Chinatown at 630 and waited 25 minutes before giving up because the tracker kept switching between "Dly" and "20 minutes" the whole time 😓
Weeks after a West Side pastor with no transportation experience was appointed to the CTA Board, another has been nominated to the RTA Board. This Wednesday, alders vote on his appointment.

@RAILMag@Metra Any idea how much travel times could improve from this? 👀 The South Suburbs have deserved better connections to the city for a long time now.
@StarLineChicago The CTA defends Carter's salary, saying it's lower than Washington and LA equivalent, yet fair to deliver improvements like those cities. Why is he getting paid 60% more than 8 years ago, even though the service is much worse? That money should be spent on more service!
@bikelaneuprise@AldConway @AldPatDowell3rd Any info on the crash this morning? We need safer street improvements on both Wabash, Roosevelt, and the South Loop in general. It was not even 7 months ago someone was killed here, this street design is unacceptable. https://t.co/L7Mb7jDJV3
After missing multiple opportunities to protect environmental justice communities across IL, the General Assembly yesterday passed HB2878 & HJR23, which will bring new vehicle traffic & diesel pollution to Chicago communities.

Illinois doesn't need more expensive & privatized toll roads! Why does Springfield want to repeat the Skyway and Chicago Parking Meter debacles with I-55? There are so many faster, better, and proven ways to reduce congestion! #NoToI55Emissions
