This is the worst possible answer he could have given. It's a perfect example of why the Bulls continue to be a hopeless franchise. Hire a good GM and let them pick the coach.

Reinsdorf:If we're interviewing someone and they're not sold on Billy and a Hall of Fame coach and person who has won championships in college and gone deep in playoffs in OKC and, given teams he was given, achieved good results in Chicago, then they're not right candidate for us

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Kevin Warren and George McCaskey said the Bears are still appealing the NFL's decision to not give them compensatory picks for Ian Cunningham's departure. They expect an answer soon. McCaskey, Warren and GM Ryan Poles visited with commissioner Roger Goodell in New York City and stated the team's case to receive comp picks based on their belief that Cunningham's departure/hire as GM in Atlanta fulfills Rooney Rule obligations that should net Chicago 2 compensatory third round picks.

By cutting access to Medicaid in their "Big Beautiful Bill," Republicans are putting the health care of over 400,000 Illinoisans at risk—all so they can give tax breaks to their billionaire donors.
Crain's Chicago Business@CrainsChicago

As many as 400,000 Illinoisans could lose Medicaid by 2028, report estimates #Echobox=1774606960" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">chicagobusiness.com/health-care/cc…

Tammy Duckworth@SenDuckworth·
Let’s be clear: Republicans have voted against Democrats’ proposals to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and the Coast Guard 14 times. They control the Senate, the House and the White House—and have had every opportunity to end the pain of this shutdown. Instead, they chose to punish thousands of hardworking Americans—and the travelling public—for weeks for the sins of Trump’s lawless agents. That is unconscionable.   Moving forward, Democrats will not stop pushing until we deliver the ICE and Border Patrol reforms that the American people deserve.

People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump. It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
