🚨Property taxes in Cook County, Illinois have exploded 182% over the last 30 years, and school districts are the main culprit.

That’s more than double inflation (less than 91%) and faster than wages grew (161%).

Treasurer @themariapappas just released a bombshell study calling for real reform now.

Homeowners: Repost if your tax bill has skyrocketed too. 🔁

Firefighters Funeral postponed.

Prayers for Micheal Altman’s widow as she is giving birth to their second child.

God is with you.

Her husband should be with her but @GovPritzker signed the SAFETY ACT. His killer arrested 4 times since July and blew off his court appearances. How this keeping Illinoians safe?

1. This is a lie

2. Read the damn bill

3. The text beginning on page 12, line 22 makes abundantly clear that what you’re saying isn’t true

4. Why can’t Senate Democrats argue against this bill without lying?

[Grateful Calvin @shoveitjack]

This is the statement from Sheridan Gorman's family.

It should be met with resignations by JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, and Kwame Raoul.

I've added some emphasis where I thought it was appropriate:

We are again faced with the unbearable truth: our daughter’s life was taken, and our family will never be the same.

Sheridan was the heart of our family. She had a rare ability to bring people together — to make others feel included, understood, and loved. She lived with intention, with faith, and with a kindness that defined who she was every single day. She was just beginning her journey, with so much ahead of her.

She was doing something entirely normal — walking with friends, close to home, in an area where she had every reason to feel safe. There was nothing unusual about her being there. There was nothing that should have placed her in harm’s way.

This was not inevitable. This was a choice. And our daughter paid the price for it.

We want to be clear: Sheridan did nothing wrong. She lived her life the way any young person should be able to live it — freely, safely, and without fear. That was taken from her. And it was taken from us.

Our daughter’s life was not expendable. She should still be here.

We recognize that the arraignment represents a formal step in the justice process, and we appreciate the work of law enforcement in bringing the case to this point. But for our family, this is not about a process — it is about accountability, and it is about ensuring that Sheridan’s life is not reduced to just another case moving through the system.

This cannot become just another story that fades with time.

Sheridan’s life had meaning. Her presence changed people. And her absence is something we will live with forever. We intend to make sure that her name, her story, and the impact of her life endure beyond this moment.

There will come a time when we speak more fully about how Sheridan’s life can continue to matter in the world. For now, our focus remains on honoring her, supporting one another, and seeing this process through.

Chicago corporate legacy media is a complete disgrace. All the communists cleaving to the approved Democrat narrative around the murder of Loyola student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal criminal immigrant Sickening

[amyjacobson @amyjacobson]

She was shot in the back of the head by an ILLEGAL who was invited here under the @JoeBiden administration and @GovPritzker protected.
He put illegals needs first before American citizens.

[Christian Maxwell For Congress | IL-CD1 @themodpun]

I’m tired of Pritzker and Brandon Johnson lying about the illegal aliens damage to this city and our state.

I’m tired of them making excuses for ALL CRIME instead empowering law enforcement to do the job they sworn in to do! We deserve to be safe.

Walk with me. Rest in peace Sheridan. 🙏🏾

[Rep. Anna Paulina Luna @RepLuna]

She wasn’t in the “wrong place” at the “wrong time”. She was an American college student taking a walk in public with her friends, which every American should be able to do without the fear of being murdered by criminal illegals.

Sheridan Gorman was only 18 years old.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

...In Chicago, the city council is now drifting toward bankruptcy like a ship of fools. For those of us who love our home city, it is a painful thing to watch.

[Illinois House Republicans @ilhousegop]

.@GovPritzker has no one to blame but himself for everything being so expensive in Illinois.

[Nancy Mersch @mersch_n]

@bocce13 @TheNCHC @SCSUHuskies_MH @LilGuzi03 Truly a proud moment , you and Michelle have raised three great young men!

[Chicago Contrarian @ChicagoContrar1]

The mayor can issue a statement gently scolding teens for attending "unauthorized events advertised on social media" and blaming guns for last night's mass shooting if it pleases him.

However, blame for the two shooting incidents downtown which claimed one life and left 9 others shot is to be laid entirely at @ChicagosMayor's doorstep.

At the first sign of trouble downtown — several hundred teens rampaging through downtown, jumping on cars, and assaulting police officers — CPD should have issued a mass arrest order.

The pandemonium downtown demanded such an order.

No such order was issued.

A mass arrest order never went out because CPD is fully aware Mayor Johnson would never approve of mass arrests under any circumstance.

That a mass arrest order was not issued led to both shooting incidents.

Johnson can search for villains to blame for Friday's shootings, but both shooting incidents are a direct result of his failures and poor judgment.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

You cannot call your political adversaries Nazi fascists and modern day Hitlers and then say political violence is wrong when your deranged lunatic supporters act on your statements and kill or attempt to kill the people you’ve attacked. I will not accept it. No one should.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

.@ClayTravis has a blunt response to Barack Obama’s claim that he “doesn’t know” what motivated Charlie Kirk’s murder.

In just two minutes, Travis summed up what every angry American is feeling right now.

“YOU CAUSED THIS!”

“You can’t call the president of the United States Adolf Hitler for 10 years… you cannot say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him like you, me, Riley, and Charlie Kirk are Nazis, and then when someone tries to kill us, suddenly say, ‘We condemn this violence.’ You caused it!”

“Look at me right now! You caused this! When you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people: go kill them. And I’m sick of pretending that is anything other than what they are doing. … Charlie Kirk bore the brunt of that left-wing violence.”

[Nancy Mersch @mersch_n]

@WesternLensman Fuck peppermint patty

[Kyle Becker @kylenabecker]

"Let me hammer something home. I am sick and I am tired of hearing people say, like Barack Obama did, like Hillary Clinton did, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."

"Guess what? You can't call the President of the United States for ten years Adolph Hitler, and you can't say that he's a fascist dictator, and you can't say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him... are Nazis..."

"And then when someone tries to kill us, you can't suddenly say, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."

"You caused it... when you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people 'go k*ll them'!"

@ClayTravis has got this exactly right. You can't engage in non-stop character assassination without expecting there will be political assassination.

[Nancy Mersch @mersch_n]

@WGNNews Let me fix this for you, more taxes coming to try to fix things with transit problems , as the city misused previous tax hikes for the incompetent mayors causes.

[Commissioner Sean Morrison @SeanMMorrison]

🚨 Illinois taxpayers, listen up! 🚨
Because Gov. Pritzker, democrat state reps, and senators refuse to cut waste, fraud, or bloated government, every Amazon, UPS, and FedEx delivery will now come with a $1.50 PER PACKAGE TAX, forever.

Every box you order, every delivery you make, you’ll pay extra, just to keep funding Springfield’s mismanagement. Enough is enough! 💸📦

[DuPage GOP @DuPageCountyGOP]

CALL TO ACTION! 

Friends, 

Suburban taxpayers should not be saddled with even more taxes and fees on the tollway, real estate transfers, ride sharing and more to pay for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's gross mismanagement of the Chicago Transit Authority. 

Please sign Senator Curran’s petition encouraging legislators to VOTE NO on the Chicago Takeover of Suburban Mass Transit HB 3438! 

Sincerely, 

Kevin Coyne 
Chairman, DuPage GOP

[IL Republican Party @ILGOP]

Pritzker is trying to save face after pretending his reckless spending didn’t put Illinois in this position in the first place. Don't fall for his lies.
