Like the Red Brigades in Italy in the 1970s and 1980s but slightly more Maoist and less fun-loving while better compensated...

Chicago Teachers Union@CTULocal1

Yesterday, educators, athletic directors, and librarians stood up one by one at the Board of Education meeting to describe exactly what the preliminary budget cuts will do to Chicago students. They will cut lead coach & mentor positions, eliminate high school Athletic Director roles, leave coaches without stipends they're owed, and shut down school libraries. We were loud and clear: CTU is calling on Governor Pritzker and Illinois lawmakers to convene a special session to pay the $2 billion owed to Chicago and fully fund schools statewide before these cuts hit classrooms this fall. 📢Our students deserve nothing less. Fully fund our schools!

Pritzker speaks daily about Trump but when is the last time you heard him speak to any of the issues destroying Illinois? There’s 50 serious problems but let’s start with the fact that Illinois leads the nation in unfunded pension liabilities Cops and firefighters need to receive their full pensions but never is a word mentioned about the underfunding that could rob Cops and Fire Fighters of their pensions What are you going to do about it J B, I know blame Trump This nightmare for Illinois has to end on November 3rd

.@JBPritzker has never cared about your financial situation. Nor the impact his policies have on your well-being.

During Operation Metro Surge, Tim Walz and Keith Ellison claimed they wanted the “worst of the worst” off the streets. Then they went on to pardon a convicted child rapist. They have shown a willingness to protect criminal illegal aliens over actual Minnesotans.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo tried to run over an ICE agent with his car. Why did you leave that part out, Congressman?
Mike Quigley@RepMikeQuigley

On Tuesday, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo picked up his construction crew and drove to work. It was just like any other day, until he was shot and killed by ICE.

We still don’t know what led up to ICE killing Lorenzo, but we do know he had no criminal record. We know he had a family and was working on obtaining legal status. And we know that ICE has lied about the people they've killed before.

I’m calling for a full, independent investigation into Lorenzo’s death. His family and the American people deserve to know what happened. The agents must be held accountable for his killing.

The shift from an industrial economy to an intellectual capital economy is not a future prediction but a present reality that most people, including most policymakers, have not fully absorbed. In 1975, approximately 83% of the market value of S&P 500 companies was attributable to tangible assets like factories, equipment, and inventory. James Malackowski, founder and CEO of Ocean Tomo, the world’s first intellectual capital merchant bank, and his son Chase Malackowski, who works alongside him at the firm, joined @DanProft to discuss the economics of intellectual property, the AI patent landscape, and why opposing data centers is the twenty-first-century equivalent of opposing the railroad

Graham Platner formally withdrew from the Maine Senate race this week after weeks of mounting revelations, including the New York Times report on physical intimidation of former girlfriends, the Nazi tattoo contradiction, the explicit content platform activity, and finally a rape allegation from Jenny Rascott that appears to have been the breaking point. @EdMorrissey, editor emeritus of @hotairblog and author of "Going Red: The Two Million Voters Who Will Elect the Next President and How Conservatives Can Win Them," joined Dan Proft to assess what the withdrawal means for the Maine race, the broader midterm landscape, and the Democratic Party’s ongoing candidate quality problem.

The Illinois General Assembly returned to Springfield for a special session called by @JBPritzker to pass a Bears stadium deal, even as the Bears continue moving forward with Hammond, and Governor Braun of Indiana made clear the deal is essentially done on his end. @StephenMoore, economist and author of "The Trump Economic Miracle," joined @DanProft to weigh in on the stadium situation, the property tax revolt spreading across red states, and the economic picture heading into the second half of the year.
