Food fight: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson fires back at Gov. JB Pritzker on WVON today.

“The disconnect is we do come from different experiences. I’m not a billionaire. I’m not the heir to billions of dollars…the governor and I had different upbringings. He doesn’t know what it’s like to open up a refrigerator [and] ain’t no food in it.”

Whatever you think of Pritzker, Johnson, or the Bears deal, this public escalation is bad for Chicagoans.

It was an honor to be shown the awesome @Intel fab in Oregon this week. Looking forward to a great partnership with @SpaceX & @Tesla!

@susanamendoza10 Could it be that we have the most corrupt politicians and most inept people leading our agencies... Just look at what happened with the meters, and recently with assessments.... Whoever is running for mayor needs to address this first and give corruption consequences

Letter to the Editor: This reckless decision proves that if President Donald Trump and Republicans are for something, Illinois Democrats are against it, even when it helps our children. https://t.co/qP2BIuooMv

She was also spotted with former alderman George Cardenas.

I personally think @the12thward will not win the next election but with that company not sure our residents will get the best person for our community.

We will continue to monitor the election as it near closer.

Brighton Park and McKinley Parks 12th ward is gearing up for elections next year. A clear contender is Claudia Zuno going against alderwomen @the12thward. Claudia was seeing yesterday going house to house with a Berrios family member. .

🚨 WOW! Joe Rogan reveals President Trump IMMEDIATELY offered him FDA approval for a psychedelic treatment in a text chain

Because the data was SO CONVINCING and STUNNING

"I wanna tell everybody how this happened. I send President Trump some information."

"With one dose of Ibogaine, more than 80% of people are free of that addiction. With two doses, it's more than 90%. I sent him that information."

"The text message came back, sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it. It was literally that quick!"

"For 56 years, we've lived under those terrible conditions. We're free of that now."

"We're free of that now, thanks to all these people that you see next to me, and thanks to President Trump!" — @joerogan

@susanamendoza10 Mmmm didn't the political class shut down downtown Chicago and has continued to do nothing to improve the conditions for businesses to thrive? Stop the gaslighting of Chicagoans and put the spotlight on those who can really make a change for these business (politicians)

[12th Ward News and Commentary @cizcodo]

@susanamendoza10 what would you do if you were mayor? I imagine this is a huge erosion into the city budget, why not try to get them back?

[Susana A. Mendoza ☮️ @susanamendoza10]

In 2008, Chicago made a parking meter deal that would go down in history for all the wrong reasons. #chicago

Jesus tells us today what He once said to Martha, Lazarus’s sister: “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 11:25-26).

@FrankCalabrese Is there a working theory as to why? I thought we all hated her. Why does she keep getting elected

There’s nothing like breaking a US Marine’s bones in order to prevent him from speaking out against a senseless, pathetic, stupid war.

This man is a hero. The people getting us into a needless war which kills Americans are who we should be pushing back on.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.
