Mayor 6.6 had better have an endless supply of Xanax to help him cope when @RealTomHoman and ICE arrive to enforce immigration law.
This has been a long & painful journey for the Vasquez-Lasso family, beginning the day Andres was murdered. I’m relieved to hear the jury returned a verdict of guilty for the murderer. No amount of justice can bring Andres back, but I hope this verdict can bring closure to family
We're hearing @Andrefor40th is making a pitch to become chair of the Cmte. on Zoning. We're reminding Chicago Mr. Vasquez has a checkered past — not his failed career as a rapper — of supporting zoning measures which would crush job creation and development across the city.

Jussie Smollett launches his all-about-me victim tour.
Jussie Smollett claims new Netflix doc footage will show the 2019 attack wasn’t staged. "It’ll make sense when ya’ll watch it." blockclubchi.co/44GLgxE
This graffiti incident seems suspect to us. It more closely resembles a False Flag. However, it gives Chuy a stage on which to stand and express faux outrage.
My statement on the anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim vandalism in Little Village:
There were three mass shooting incidents in Chicago over the weekend, Alexi. Where do you "stand" on this? How do you expect anyone to take you seriously as a mayoral candidate when you are silent on Chicago's deepest problems?
Hateful, painful & despicable. I stand with you @RepChuyGarcia & the entire Little Village community in the fight against hate & racism.
Chicago's 2027 mayoral field began to shape up when @susanamendoza10 declined to seek reelection as state comptroller. George Shay explains how Ms. Mendoza could throw a spanner into @ChicagosMayor's re-election chances. chicagocontrarian.com/blog/mendoza-m…
Nine seconds is all it took to for Corey DeAngelis to define @stacydavisgates. A hypocrite.
The president of the Chicago Teachers Union called school choice "racist." She sends her kid to a private school.
It was a little more than a year ago when Jayden Perkins was slain by Crosetti Brand. Jayden's mother, Laterria Smith, witnessed the crime. Brand had been released from prison one day before he murdered Perkins. Now, all of the government defendants named in a lawsuit filed by…

Mayor Johnson rode the Red Line today, after reopening the Argyle stop. We'd suggest @ChicagosMayor take a ride on the Red Line on a Sunday morning at 2 a.m., with his family, but without his security detail. Only then will he truly experience what a circus the CTA has become.
Reason 1,346,553 no one takes the CTA anymore.
Here is some great news. The man accused of killing Ofc. Andrés Vásquez Lasso in 2023 has been found guilty of first-degree murder. The worthless scrap of humanity who took Vásquez Lasso's life, Steven Montano, is facing life behind bars. We have no sympathy for Montano. None.
We have to hand it to the Lois Lane of Chicago journalism. She is really a piece of work. When asked about Chicago's grim budget forecast, @HeatherCherone was biased enough to tell us what to think about cuts to city services to close a massive budget gap. Lois said…
"Sanctuary cities are now our priority." We're rolling out the red carpet for you and as many ICE agents as you can bring to Chicago, @RealTomHoman. This is exactly what I voted for. This is why I voted Trump.
No Narcan vending machine nearby?
Another day on the CTA. Reported it to the station attendant.
In his new documentary, @CortesSteve takes aim at Barack Obama. In "YOU DON'T KNOW BARACK: EXPOSING OBAMA," Cortes dismantles the Obama legacy and, in an interview with a Chicago resident, finds one woman deeply disillusioned with Obama. chicagocitywire.com/stories/674076…
In his latest piece, Paul Vallas explains how advancing the falsehood of police "corruption" has enriched law firms, weakened police, and drained city finances. Vallas says it's time residents come to their senses and demand change. chicagocontrarian.com/blog/the-war-o…
Chicago has multiple closed schools across the city yet, CPS won’t allow Charters to use the schools, so they instead sit vacant while still requiring tax funds from the city. This is unacceptable and now the alderman with these schools in their areas host performative meetings…
Weekend tally: 26 shot, 7 fatally, and 1-year-old drown by her mother. Chicago experienced two mass shootings, one of which was in Austin. But Mayor 6.6 would have us believe youth employment and affordable housing is bringing an end to crime. Image: @w_h_thompson

Perhaps the "children" shouldn't have come to the U.S. in the first place.
