17 SHOT. 4 DEAD. AND THE MAYOR IS IN MARTHA’S VINEYARD?
While Mayor Brandon Johnson was spotted in Martha’s Vineyard attending events, Chicago was dealing with another deadly weekend of gun violence.
According to Chicago police, at least 17 people were shot and four were killed across the city over the weekend.
Johnson was in Martha’s Vineyard for events that included a reception and appearances with the Human Rights Campaign.
Meanwhile, Chicago continues to spend millions on Community Violence Intervention (CVI) while the city ended its ShotSpotter contract in 2024.
So we’re asking:
Where is the accountability?
How much are taxpayers spending on CVI?
Who is receiving the money?
What measurable results are Chicagoans getting?
And what changed after ShotSpotter was removed?

FOLLOW THE MONEY. FOLLOW THE RESULTS.

🚨WOW! 🇺🇸 PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ISSUED A MAJOR WARNING TO ALL AMERICAN SCHOOLS:
“Every public school in America is now on notice: That if they tell a child that they are trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse.”
This has to be satire or some ai bullshit. We legitimately have the highest property taxes in the nation. And it’s not just residential, the Chicago Bears as well as Fortune 500 companies are leaving Illinois because they are being taxed out of the state. Stop the freebies, cut back on welfare, shut down the NGOs, stop funding illegals. Illinois residents are suffering because of you @JBPritzker This has nothing to do with @realDonaldTrump You are a moron
Illinois just discovered its emergency management agency spent $78.5 million on standby pay for contractors who were available but not working.
Nearly 470,000 hours in total. $7.5 million of it went to 270 contractors who never performed any actual work at all.
The agency never calculated how many people it needed. Instead, the vendor set the headcount and the state simply paid the invoices. Real oversight barely existed.
All of this happened under Governor Pritzker, who has raised taxes and fees on Illinoisans more than 50 times. Taxpayers keep getting squeezed for more revenue, while the state spends without restraint.
The auditor general only surfaced these numbers years later, and the people who allowed it are still running the show.
Zero accountability. Classic Illinois.
