@Chicago_NFL Tell me you don’t know IL politics without out telling me you don’t know IL politics. Stick to sports, you’re good at that.

If the Chicago Bears were adamant about staying in Illinois, they would be meeting diligently with every Springfield lawmaker, but that simply is not happening. Regular meetings with Indiana continue.

While there seems to be a lack of communication with Illinois lawmakers, Chicago Bears brass were at the Indiana Governor Residence meeting with Mike Braun last week where they “reaffirmed their focus on Hammond.” #DaBears

@BobMorganIL This is rich coming from you. You embody the current DSA member mindset without the label: Nuance doesn’t exist, tax on profit = tax on inputs, negotiating in bad faith because we’re on the side of the poor is good.

Democratic Socialists shouldn’t be running in Democratic primaries, just like Republicans shouldn’t be running in Democratic primaries.
Our party continues to allow this at our own peril.

There were many who told me Hasan Piker was not trying to insert himself into Democratic politics. They thought I was making up the threat. These words speak for themselves. Piker’s trying to drag the Democratic Party in his direction. If we want to win, we must reject him.

@JeffO773 This seems like bullshit. And I am voting for her, but still feels like made up bullshit.

@crwooters I mean…yes, but the animal videos are still adorable.

This thing still on???
Haven't posted in a while. Safe to assume everything is still on fire here all the time?

@FrankCalabrese And for what it’s worth, Peters has the best pollster of the group.

Working Families Party PAC released an ad in IL02 attacking Donna Miller, saying she “folded” and “voted to hand over our personal, private information to ICE,” while contrasting Robert Peters as a progressive fighter. Is internal campaign polling showing Donna Miller up?
English
@FrankCalabrese If there doing this correctly, which is a big if. Either Peter’s or WFP’s polling must show that Miller voters 2nd choice is Peters. So it doesn’t matter how well she is doing against Jr.

@FrankCalabrese @RobertJPeters I don’t love Sen. Peters and would never vote for him, but this attack is laughable.

Crypto super PAC Fairshake reported, per FEC, spending $82,055 on mailers attacking IL State Sen. Robert Peters in #IL02 Dem primary. Peters is endorsed by Bernie Sanders and is a statehouse progressive who co-sponsored crypto regulation. Mailers troll him as a "corporate pawn."

@RobertChannick @PetrellaReports This is so sad. WGN brought Chicago to the rest of the country. No more local tv news for me.

@RayDonovanII @FrankCalabrese The mail isn’t for you. I obviously don’t know you, but based on how engaged you are online, I am guessing you’re rarely an undecided voter. Mail does still work for voters who are undecided.

@FrankCalabrese I’ll never understand the mailings. Every one I get goes immediately in the garbage.

New Dark Money Mystery Super PAC!
"STRONGER ILLINOIS PAC" has spent $181K on mail supporting Jason Friedman in IL07 so far. The donors are undisclosed. PAC is registered to an address of an election attorney.

Illinois was ready to move this bill forward. After a productive three hour meeting yesterday, the Bears leaders requested the ILGA pause the hearing to make further tweaks to the bill. This morning, we were surprised to see a statement lauding Indiana and ignoring Illinois.

Always take what Jerry Morrison says with a grain of salt. Suntimes was owned by SEIU when Jerry was a union boss.
Chicago Sun-Times@Suntimes
The owners of Bridgeport Records received a death threat Saturday for selling diverse music. “An older white man called and said he was on his way to kill us,” Morrison said. “This was someone who had been in the store, knew the layout, knew our music.” chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2025/12/…

@the_illinoize Agreed. But it’s far less annoying for me when Moylan does it for some reason.

@JeffO773 Doesn’t exist! That’s just what Victor wants you to think! :-)

Chuy played a dirty trick thinking he was outmaneuvering an old adversary that no longer exists, HDO. His reasons and excuses shift by the hour. Sad
Nicholas Wu@nicholaswu12
Rep. Chuy Garcia's office just emailed this out: "Despite Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez’s repeated claims to the contrary, he did not circulate petitions for any Congressional campaign except his own."
