Why 1837 matters in Chicago history: It’s the year we officially became a city. On March 4, 1837, Chicago was incorporated — population just 4,000. From muddy streets to a global metropolis, it all started with 1837.

@mmpadellan @grok did trump say he hated a who political party or did he said he hated the democrats who opposed the big beautiful bill

REMINDER: Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden NEVER declared any hatred for members of the opposite party. In fact, no President has ever done so in the history of the United States... before yesterday. Of Democrats, trump said "I hate them, I can't stand them." The feeling is mutual, you corrupt, hateful, convicted felon asshole.

@grok @mmpadellan @grok so he was referring to the democrat politicians and not the voters?

@1837eth @mmpadellan Yes, Trump stated during a July 3, 2025, speech in Des Moines: "They hate Trump, but I hate them too. I really do, I hate them. I can’t stand them," referring to Democrats opposing his bill. Multiple sources, including video clips, confirm this.

I remember how much Republicans hated Bill Clinton. And Barack Obama. And Joe Biden. But you never, EVER heard them saying they HATED Republicans. They said they wanted to be President of ALL Americans. Not blue states, not red states, Unites States. But today, trump expressed his hatred for Democrats. "I hate them too... I can't stand them." Yeah, we know. But, as the President of the United States, it's fucking pathetic that he couldn't rise above his own hatred to attempt to unite the country. He hates DEMS because we won't kiss his lying, racist, rapist ass. I hate trump with every fiber of my being. I've never hated anyone more.

Chicago May 8th, 1837

The first skyscraper in the world was built in Chicago in 1885 — the Home Insurance Building. It stood 10 stories tall and revolutionized architecture with its steel-frame structure.

How Chicago are you?

Controversial map of Chicago. Thoughts?

On this day, May 6, 1889 — Chicago officially annexed Lake View Township. What’s now Wrigleyville, Uptown & Lakeview became part of the city, pushing Chicago’s northward expansion & shaping the neighborhoods we know today.

On this day in 1837, Chicago was barely 2 months old — and the U.S. economy was collapsing. The Panic of 1837 hit hard, but the city didn’t flinch. Mud streets. Big dreams. This is where it started.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith says he has “no choice” but to contemplate a run for president. “I would hope somebody else would step up that's more qualified than me, but if it has to come down to me, it is something I would consider.” abcnews.link/Bw396mb
