Today, @ChicagosMayor doubled down on his September 2025 characterization "Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities."
Johnson has lost his mind.
🎆 Happy Fourth of July!
To ensure everyone has a fun and safe holiday, extra patrols will be out on the roads and in the community all weekend long. Plan ahead, stay alert, and never drink and drive.
Have a wonderful, happy, and safe 4th!
Happy 4th of July!
Two hundred and fifty years ago, the greatest nation in the history of the world was born.
May God continue to bless the United States of America!
Job well done, sir. I will miss seeing your posts. You put so much into what you did. You leave a huge void in the #ChicagoScanner Twitter world. The impact you had here was immeasurable. Sending you all the best in your retirement 💙💙
Brandon Johnson gets out of an armored limousine, wearing a bulletproof vest, surrounded by 150 Chicago police officers, costing $30 million a year and tells the cameras

After eight years by Gov. JB Pritzker's side, your only accomplishment is making Illinois the least equitable state in the Union.
You've left a disgraceful legacy as Lieutenant Governor.
Good news: No homicides yesterday, ending a 15-day streak, the longest since September 2024's 20-day run.
Bad news: Those 15 days tallied 32 homicides and another 83 shot and wounded.
Since June 17, the comically flawed @Giannoulias has posted hysterically on the opening of the Obama Center, praised Michelle Obama's dull speech, celebrated Juneteenth, and recounted with delight about playing basketball with Barack Obama.
Yet not one word on the spasm of violence — including another mass shooting — which enveloped Chicago last weekend.
If Alexi won't address crime in Chicago when he is running for mayor, imagine how he will ignore violence if he is elected mayor.
