Instead he's tweeting from Federal Correctional Institution

Armed robbery in the West Loop. In broad daylight.
This isn’t the Chicago the people built. The West Loop was once a symbol of revitalization, thriving businesses, families strolling the streets, restaurants, and entrepreneurs investing in our city.
Now, we’re dealing with shootings in broad daylight. And yet, the @ChicagosMayor and @GovPritzker keep telling us this is the "safest city." Listen to their own words. You be the judge. But remember, they have police details and security. You don’t. You have to live with this reality. It’s right here.
The only way this changes is if you vote these people and policies out.

Remember the head of internal affairs at CPD? The one whose Lexus got caught up in a narcotics bust while on loan to the chief's niece?
She's been promoted and is now the department's second-highest-ranking officer.

BREAKING: Chicago’s Inspector General just dropped a report exposing Mayor Brandon Johnson’s secret gift stash. Jewelry, whiskey, handbags, and shoes—all stored in a “Gift Room” hidden from investigators as well as Johnson’s personal office. Just as scandalous: The report reveals a system with no real checks on the power of the mayor’s office. 🧵
OIG has released a report finding that the @ChicagosMayor accepted gifts including jewelry, handbags, and alcohol “on behalf of the City” without public reporting, and declined to make the Mayor’s “Gift Room” available for inspection.

This is so surreal. The socialist Spanish minister uses a private jet to attend a climate conference. 100 metres before the venue she gets out off the limo and takes a bicycle. The security cars follow her.
Brandon proposed a 3.5% city income tax for anyone earning $100K+.
The group that wrote Brandon's plan said it "would force these wealthy yuppies to pay their fair share."
Brandon earns $180K/yr yet can't pay his water bill.
The cognitive dissonance is palpable and insulting.
🚨BREAKING: Brandon Johnson & CTU covered up hundreds of sexual assault cases on students, majority were black and brown. They also used black teachers to gain 4 million dollars in profit for their lead organizer’s mother!
