@ComEd 3 likely days without power with very little communication on assessment, estimated time to resolve, etc. Happens every year with a big storm. So frustrating.
@CollinRugg These people don’t deserve the joy and the unconditional love that comes from a child with Down syndrome. Guess what? Parenting is hard. Disgusting.
Clown Show. Absolute waste of money on an incompetent group of leaders, especially those who fight and pull funding from Catholic schools. Wonder if the Pope brought that up.
One of the most incompetent administrations in Chicago history “Ghetto Corporate” flies to Rome, Italy to meet with Pope Leo XIV for what appears to be little substance or measurable benefit to the people back home.
Meanwhile, Chicago residents are still being shot daily, neighborhoods remain neglected, and the theft and stripping of properties in blighted communities continues to be treated like a taboo subject.
Nobody in power wants to seriously discuss how land, demolitions, abandoned buildings, and redevelopment deals connect back to TIF money and political influence — because for many of them, that money pipeline is too important.
While struggling families deal with violence, rising taxes, displacement, and instability, city leadership continues prioritizing optics, political networking, and international photo opportunities over accountability at home.
We are comin for those seats

Not sure what @Ticketmaster did to their app, but buying tickets on it is absolutely impossible. Whatever security prevention they have is preventing actual ticket purchases.
BREAKING: Chicago Teachers Union members just rejected Stacy Davis Gates' push to hike union dues by $8.5 million. With 80% of votes counted, roughly 60% of members have voted no on the dues hike, according to the union.
This is a stunning defeat for the political leadership that put Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson into office and has huge implications for Chicago Public Schools board races in November.
Union leadership cited funding candidates in those school board races as the No. 1 reason for hiking dues, as well as covering legal fees associated with investigations from the Department of Labor and the IRS.
Here is the official announcement on the vote from Gates and VP Jackson Potter.
Jeff Bezos: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, the packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it anyway."
"After a while, you feel like your teammates start to feel more like family than classmates because you’re together for a lot of the time."

Everyone in our generation had a high school football teammate or frat brother (or both) you’d nicknamed Ogre. Because of this guy. Devastating news. 💔
Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:
"show me an athlete who did well academically."
"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."
talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.
same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.
