Fantastic and hope inspiring remarks by @SenatorDurbin at the Policing Leadership Academy Graduation. His heartfelt concern for the great City of Chicago centered around support for mental health and trauma treatment AND crime prevention and gun reform. When you are truly a leader, you can articulate how we CAN have both and inspire others to want to do the work. Thank you, @shapack 🙏🏼
For all those imbeciles wanting to remove ShotSpotter from our communities, consider this: police were alerted to the fallen officer FIVE MINUTES before anyone called 911. That extra time is invaluable and you blissfully choose to ignore that fact.
So thankful for @EileenCookCnty and her tenacity in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s race
She ran an incredibly honorable campaign and has been so gracious to all of her voters, supporters and constituents
Regardless whether you voted for Eileen or not, know that she will treat ALL Cook County residents with equal care and not play favorites
Chicago is SO lucky to have her as our next CCSA ❤️🙏
I convened a meeting this week with the Chicago Police and elected officials to discuss the horrible rash of antisemitic flyering that has been happening across Chicago and in the northern suburbs. Hundreds of cars and doorsteps have been littered with gross and hateful flyers in a direct attempt at intimidation. With nearly a dozen incidents occurring across at least six wards, it is time for a coordinated city response to this wave of hate.
I am proud to have spearheaded this first sit-down between police, aldermen, and the head of the Chicago Commission on Human Relations. Those present at the meeting today included police leadership from the Superintendent’s Office and Civil Rights Unit, as well as CCHR Commissioner Nancy Andrade, Mayor Daniel Biss of Evanston, and multiple City Council Aldermen.
Hate is sharply on the rise in Chicago and across our nation. Incidents like this hate flyering, when not addressed, can quickly escalate into an environment that is dangerous to our most vulnerable communities. I intend to hold more meetings until those responsible for these hate incidents are brought to justice.

@ChicagosMayor is spending $102 MILLION on catering food for migrants which they don’t want to eat.
If you think @BringChiHome funds will be used differently, you are deceiving yourself.
City Hall is broken and incompetent!
Hmmm…Los Angeles, the second largest city in the US, is showing us the results of its passing a “mansion” tax.
It FAILED. Is Chicago just smarter than LA?

My fellow Chicagoans, our city is at the precipice
We have been suffering through insidious crime for decades but over the past 8 years under our current Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s reign, we have fallen off a cliff
There is no more time, no more mulligans, no more excuses: “We need to right the ship and we need to right the ship quickly.” @EileenCookCnty
It is WELL past time to get the adults back in the room and I’m here to tell you that the first adult we need is, without question, Eileen to replace Foxx, period
I’m an outspoken proponent of Eileen, and although there are many reasons, this less than 2 minute video I took does an incredibly good job of explaining why, and directly from her own mouth, so please watch it
My favorite part is when Eileen says: “And, he’s a nice man…I’m a terrible politician, but he’s a nice man.”
I love this because I’m D-O-N-E with career politicians and NO politician would EVER call their opponent a “nice man” and mean it
Eileen isn’t a career politician, she’s a concerned, life-long Chicagoan who deeply loves our city and knows that it’s time to stand up and do something about it
The big difference between Eileen and any of us, including her opponent, is her EXTENSIVE experience in the criminal justice system as a State’s Attorney, criminal defense attorney, trial court judge, and for the past 7 years, an appellate court judge for Illinois 😳
HUGE thanks to my good friends @ClaudeCimeus@landon20s & @shapack for hosting this event at @ShapackPartners’s gorgeous 167 N Green building in Fulton Market on 2/24
If you’d like to hear from Eileen yourself and provide your support for her campaign, then please DM me for details about the fundraiser my colleagues @JennyGooz@iraweiss@StuLoren & I are hosting for her this Friday 3/1
WE ARE OUT OF TIME!!! If we don’t act now, our city will fail, I promise you, so please join me, my colleagues and the rest of our fellow concerned Chicagoans in supporting Eileen for our next Cook County State’s Attorney ❤️🙏👊
