@ErikLambert1 Great article! It's nice to see a report with facts! Bears never asked for funding on the stadium, just tax certainty and infrastructure. Bears have some blame, but this one is on Illinois politicians!!

Often in these issues over a new stadium, it comes down to which side wins the battle for public perception.
For years, the Illinois government felt it had the moral high ground.
Based on recent updates, the #Bears may have stolen it from them. (1/2)

A 1.3-cent motor fuel tax hike is delayed while lawmakers shifted $150 million in tax revenue to stabilize the state budget. Here are some expert takeaways. dailyherald.com/20260607/trans…

@jimiuorio I guess the "break the glass" tactic was used. Gavin Newsome was outspoken about this!
English
Is there anyone who’s credibly defending (what appears to be) the statistical absurdity that occurred in LA?…this is a genuine question…trying to get unemotional analysis…
English
@BrianCostin Bears never asked for money to build a stadium! This was the idea of idiot politicians. They asked for tax certainty and infrastructure help that's it! Why do you twist the narrative??
English
100%!
Especially when everyday residents and businesses pay the highest property taxes in the nation, like Illinois.
Where’s our relief?
Amelia@amelia_tweetz
Hot take: No professional sports team should ever receive a single cent of public taxpayer money to build a stadium. If a team can afford a billion-dollar roster, they can afford their own real estate. Why are we still subsidizing billionaires?
English
@greta That's not happening. Steelers maybe. Packers, hell no!
English
To all Bears fans - yes, I know you have not been Packers fans all these years (I am a shareholder) but this is a formal invitation to become a Packer fan since the Bears are moving out of state. I am very sad about their move. It is wrong to move out of state.
English
@SpeakerWelchIL Except the Bears bill. Can you blame Trump for that too??
English
Thanks to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, this year’s state budget negotiations were the most complicated we've worked on in my time as Speaker. Despite that, we found a way to pass a fiscally responsible budget that helps working-class families across the state.

@harryjsisson If they lose any game you will blame Trump. That's what you do.

If the NY Knicks lose game 3 of the NBA finals the whole country is blaming it on Trump btw

@GovPritzker Pause for you means 5 years, ask the Bears. Allow the data centers will be in Space before you get your act together.
English
I'm directing my administration to pause the processing of data center agreements while we continue working with the General Assembly on a comprehensive framework that protects affordability, safeguards natural resources, and ensures responsible growth. nbcnews.com/politics/2028-…

It would be great to have him back home but I want Ayo’s career to be fully developed and maxed out & I’m not sure that the Bulls offer him that
I understand that things are changing with Bryson Graham but it is still the Bulls organization. They’re on a Verify then Trust stage
Kendall Gill@KendallG13
Ran into a Fellow Illini today on Oak Street. He had some great words for my son Phoenix. I also tried recruiting him back to the Bulls. Hey, if the money is right you never know. He didn’t give a thumbs down on the Idea. Would love to see Ayo come back home! I-L-L🧡💙

@cornoisseur This is how it works. All major corporations get incentives from big cities. This billionaire rhetoric is such BS.
English
This schtick is so funny. Republicans WANT taxpayers to foot the bill for billionaires!
Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman
The Chicago Bears are moving 17 miles across the border to Indiana. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker did this. Stop voting for democrats.
English
@BCB_Sara Oh please yourself. There is no big business in Illinois that has come here without some incentives! This is how business works and explains why so many are leaving Illinois.
English
Oh please. The McCaskey's can afford to build their own stadium or they can continue to play at Soldier Field. The citizens of Chicago and people of Illinois don't owe billionaires $$$ for a new stadium.
whitesoxdave@barstoolWSD
Congratulations to @GovPritzker, @ChicagosMayor, Kevin Warren, the McCaskeys and many others - it looks as if you have successfully chased the Chicago Bears out of not just Chicago, but Illinois completely You all STINK
English
@GovPritzker Well, you're definitely not raising the Bears flag!

We proudly fly the Pride Flag above the Illinois State Capitol this month.

@tschwartz09 Oh, but if Obama were there it would be wonderful. Give me a break.
English
Hate this so freaking much. Team’s on a historic high up 2-0 heading back home to win a championship in front of their fans and half the people who spent $10 million on tickets won even get in bc we have a president that only cares about himself

@TBlountNews There is a special place in hell for people like you.

@TBlountNews What does it say about your participation in a cesspool of nonsense? You must be part of the cesspool.
English
Twitter is such a cesspool of nonsense. But what it does is show how this country is full of racist, bigots, misogynists, phony Christian rednecks, hayseeds and crackers who literally worship one of the worst human being who ever lived.

@TBlountNews @Rangers What is wrong with you. We should be celebrating nuclear families
English
The say to the LBTGQ community, “Don’t push your lifestyle on everyone else.” But the @Rangers will push religious beliefs on everyone else. Fuck the Rangers and their white supremacist Texas Ranger statue.

@mjfree Quit crying. If it was Obama, you would be celebrating. He decided to go before they were 2-0. Quit complaining about everything.

Stephen A. Smith begs Donald Trump to stay away from Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals:
“He’s coming to Game three of the Finals, and I don’t want him there. It has nothing to do with politics, policy, or anything like that. It has everything to do with him disrupting and contributing at the same time to the chaos that’s going to be existing at Madison Square Garden. If it were Barack Obama coming to the Garden, I would say, ‘Stay home.’ Stay at the White House… I have been covering sports for over 30 years. And I’m telling you right now, come Monday, for Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, I expect to see an environment I have never seen in my entire career covering sports."
English
@Chicago_History Cause they never cared about the people of Chicago - thanks McCaskey assholes
English
@TBlountNews Dems whine about everything. Be grateful your in the Finals
English
The average can’t come close to affording a $10,000 ticket. Now those fans can even stand outside because this fat cocksucker has to feed his ego.
internet hall of fame@InternetH0F
No watch parties will be allowed around Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, due to President Donald Trump attending the game Only ticket holders will be able to access areas around MGS, and have to go through Secret Service-level screening
