The corruption, fraud and abuse of power is so bad in government that if you try to describe it to a "normal" person who isn't paying any attention, they look at you like you believe in a flat earth.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@SoxMach_pnoles I'm guessing they'll choose more based on defense, but it would also be nice to have a right handed hitting catcher available.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@SoxOn35th Why are we discouraging Romo from getting some of that tape? Figure it out.

@jimgeraghty Hadn’t occurred to me that the tattoo is actually a positive in the eyes of some supporters

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@stevesi Then someone will have the power to selectively cancel the accounts of their critics.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@AdrianWhiteSox The replies to the Peters signing by all the pessimists are pretty funny now

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@FrankLuntz With Pratt out they can just go back to voting for bass

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@ChicagoContrar1 Brandon and JB don’t care one bit if the Bears move to Indiana. Losing the Bears won’t be in the top 20 reasons why Illinois Democratic primary voters will pick their next Mayor and Gov.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@kevinnbass Everyone’s been shaming MAGA for years for claiming election rigging so it’s gonna be tough to reverse all that and claim it now in Pratt’s case.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@ChuckGarfien Please @grok remind us what the baseball experts predicted would be the White sox win total for 2026? Include the most optimistic and pessimistic predictions and cite who made them.

@FutureSox He's looking so good. Pattern has been 2 appearances for a total of 3 IP per week. Seems like he's on a relief track to potentially move up through the system more quickly?

🚨 JOHNSON CUTS KELLY’S MIC AFTER QUESTIONS ON TEEN TAKEOVERS, ROME TRIP

From today's presser: Mayor Brandon Johnson says Chicago is safe. Tell that to the families living through violent teen takeovers across the city. Memorial Day weekend ended with 39 people shot and 2 dead. Police officers were rammed by cars and sent to the hospital.

I asked Johnson about his failed policies which have allowed these criminal teens to harm innocent people. And let's be honest - because I was - these are violent black teens.

Before I could finish, Johnson and his staff tried talking over me. Then his press secretary cut my microphone when I asked who was actually funding Johnson’s luxury trip to Rome. When I confronted her about it, she lied.

Moments later, Johnson admitted the trip is being funded by World Business Chicago — the organization HE chairs.

Johnson looked into the cameras and claimed Chicago is “not for sale.”

But I think Mayor Johnson is for sale. That’s the opinion of this reporter. #thatreporter

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@CWBChicago Police officers deserve the same level of respect we give to the armed forces who serve in combat

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@ChicagoContrar1 Mayor Johnson does not care if the Bears leave Chicago. The question for Pritzker is what is he doing to keep the Bears in Illinois?

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@ChuckGarfien Maybe the formula is to allow the staff to coach players based on all the analytics available and free up the players to focus on winning habits.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

Illinois’ leadership is so bad. It doesn’t have to be this way.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: Outrage is erupting after nearly TWO DOZEN PEOPLE SHOT this Memorial Day weekend in Brandon Johnson's Chicago, including CHILDREN

5 POLICE officers were also STRUCK by a driver during a "teen takeover," and were hospitalized.

Yet ANOTHER reason why Pritzker and Johnson should be calling in President Trump!

Blue cities are a disaster.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@TripleAJeff That would be awesome

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@TripleAJeff I hope he comes back, and I hope that Getz gets the apologies he’s owed by everyone who took cheap shots at him after week 1.

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@TJStats White Sox
- David Sandlin
- Colby Shelton
- Gabe Davis
- Max Banks
- Mathias LaCombe
Sandlin is now solid top 10, the other 4 are quickly rising even if it’s too soon to be top 10

[These Times @TheseTimes2025]

@ChuckGarfien This is one of the best signs of improvement bc it reflects all aspects of the game performing in clutch situations.
