250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America.
Happy 4th of July from the White House. 🇺🇸
The bronzeville trail is coming! So excited. It will repurpose the former elevated Kenwood train line between state street and lake park avenue, roughly along 41st. #chicago
Cook County Sheriff’s Police have spent the last three months patrolling CTA trains and platforms, the result of a state legislature mandate to assess what’s really happening on Chicago’s rail system.

Look man…
Over 80 people have needlessly died since you shut down shot spotter. Ppl don’t call 911 for every shot-It does (alert police when and where). Can’t wait to vote you out #chicagoscanner
Mayor Brandon Johnson argued Wednesday that Chicago police are doing a better job without gunshot detection technology like the controversial ShotSpotter system he got rid of. https://t.co/RwzWsJ2uFN
Man who went viral for remaining in his seat as he ate food during the WH Correspondents' Dinner shooting says he didn't want his new tux on the dirty Hilton floor.
He also said he is from New York, so he hears sirens and activity all the time.
"I’m a New Yorker. We live with sirens and activity happening all the time," Michael Glantz, an agent at Creative Artists Agency, said.
"I wasn’t scared. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch."
"First of all, I have a bad back. I couldn’t get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, they’d have to bring in people to get me off the floor. And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening."
As I’ve said, we need actual officers on the transit system. The most a security guard can do anywhere is call police. Mayor, let’s have a dedicated force for the CTA. #chicagoscanner
@GavinNewsom@NRA A domestic violence incident being used to push laws to restrict law abiding citizens from practicing their Constitutional rights is exactly why our founders thought so highly our right to bear arms.
2-11 Alarm on the 4700 block of W Fulton has exposure to both sides; crews are making progress; there are currently no injuries or transports. No further info at this time.
Throwback to 2021: Pritzker lashes out at reporter @amyjacobson. ‘You come in here with a political agenda and you spread misinformation. I just think you should stop.’
In 2026: The same governor leads ‘No Kings’ rallies while running for a third term. He declares, ‘These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,’ demands Trump’s removal under the 25th Amendment, and signs laws to crush vaccine ‘misinformation.’
Yet @JBPritzker shuts down Illinoisans questioning the many policies destroying our lives. To name a couple: sanctuary state protections for criminal illegals and the soft-on-crime SAFE-T Act.
Illinois voters, this is your ‘No Kings’ governor.
Are you really re-electing this unhinged hypocrite?
