We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved colleague, Riley. He was a cherished member of CDOT's Complete Streets team and a dedicated public servant committed to making Chicago's streets safer and more accessible for everyone. He will be greatly missed.

If AIPAC is trying to defeat Bushra why are they paying for positive ads supporting her?

Because they know it will take from Kat’s margins. They’re banking on that actually!

Kat is the only viable path to truly defeating AIPAC in IL-09. There’s a reason Biss isn’t even listed.

@_look_its_sarah Ah yes, Brad Pitt in his 'Fight Club' era. Famously, women were never attracted to him at this time.

Only in Cook County can you get arrested for a DUI, fined by the Board of Ethics, and get a vanity PBS interview, because we have no standards for our elected officials.

the ‘23 mayoral be damned; Chuy still knew BALL

[Resilient Crier @imnotbabby]

All of the names on this page being Chuy machine electeds who kept this under wraps lmaooooo.

Is this ethical? Probably not. Is this knowing ball? Hell yeah, he should be fucking minority leader for the rest of his term. We need more knife cutters who make moves again.

Impossible to understand our moment in history without grasping that for many people reality is increasingly a marginal phenomenon that happens around the edges of screen time.

[Alex Nelson @aenelson4]

Pre-pandemic I produced ads for down ballot legislation around the country and childcare in New Mexico was a big focus. So happy to see it blossom.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

New Mexico is the first state in the country to implement universal free childcare, and the program will save families an estimated $12,800 a year.

Some NYPD officers openly wept after Zohran Mamdani's election victory — hundreds are preparing to leave the force, multiple NYPD cops tell me

[Himbo President 🇵🇸 @himbopresident]

Like no, this is not the ideal way to run a nomination process. But this is very clearly MGP attempting to position herself in opposition to a more left-wing coded, big city politician in a way but plays to Republican stereotypes

[Himbo President 🇵🇸 @himbopresident]

I think there's a middle ground between being totally fine with what Chuy Garcia did and thinking it needs to be blown up into a national political scandal and a lot of what people are portraying as defenses of Chuy are actually just identifying anti-Dem "Chicago" dog whistling

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Israeli soldiers raped #Palestinian men & women in detention. Soldiers used their bodies, sticks, glass, & trained dogs 2 #rape men & women. I do not need to rehearse the laws this violates for you to understand the depravity.This is not a matter 4 peace talks, accountability now
