@gregbagwell @BillKristol Fk that useless shit pile.

The commemoration of the bravery, tragedy and importance of D-Day is not ever the place to try and score cheap political points. What an ignorant and disrespectful dumbass.

Please stop with the “we’d rather let them go then bailout billionaires” nonsense. Indiana has a dramatically lower tax rate - at all levels - than does Illinois. Is there someone out there who honestly believes Illinois looks out for its taxpayers more than Indiana does? The tax break sought by the Bears in Illinois would not be so obscene if our general tax burden itself wasn’t so obscene. Our tax burden - coupled with a completely dysfunctional and anti business state government to work with - drives many businesses out of Illinois. The Bears are just the latest and most jarring to see leave.

Every voter needs to remember – JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson and Illinois Democrats forced the Chicago Bears out of Illinois.

@DarrenBaileyIL Sounds like Darren Bailey needs to get off twitter and talk to some actual economists about public money for stadiums and how that never works out.

Imagine being the governor who lost the Chicago Bears.

@clayharbs82 Let'em go. We will spend money on actual stuff instead of throwing it down the drain

Chicago, how do we feel about the Bears reportedly focusing on Hammond, Indiana? Is this another feint? Is it posturing? Is it leverage? Or did Illinois actually just fumble the Bears? At some point this stopped being just a stadium debate and became a business conversation. If Illinois can’t find a compromise and another market gives them a cleaner path to build, control revenue, and create a year-round stadium district, the Bears have to listen. Maybe this is leverage. But Chicago better stop acting like the Bears have nowhere else to go. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

Make the ballot BLEED red! Democrats lost the Bears! This is on them, top to bottom!! No democrat for the city, no democrat for governor! Vote them out!

@danpompei As an Illinois resident I love it. We get to not flush money down the drain giving it to a rich, arrogant sports team. Public financing for stadiums is one of the iron clad bad financial choices a state/city can make. This isn't really up for debate.

Many who go to games will not like it, but the Bears will thrive across the state line. They follow a long line of good businesses out of Illinois, and many more are likely to follow, given the leadership in the Land of Lincoln.

@GovBraun Congrats on your terrible financial decision! citythatworks.substack.com/p/it-is-fine-i…

Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state! We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come. An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before. Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality. Welcome to Indiana!

@Erinmaguire ? Giving public money to a sports team is one of the universally agreed upon terrible financial choices agreed on by economists. Famously so.

When the Bears leave Chicago, JB Pritzker’s greatest economic success will be for Indiana

@TVietor08 As a Chicagoan(and Vikings fan) I am very ok with the Bears in Indiana. Let them make that terrible financial choice for us! Godspeed! citythatworks.substack.com/p/it-is-fine-i…

Pritzer should strip the team from the McCaskey family and give every Chicago resident a stake.

@thorku Current product on the field aside, living in Chicago and watching the Bears ownership in action makes me thankful, their flaws aside, for the Wilfs' ability to be competent owners.

Perfection, no notes — favorite part is ending the statement about moving to Indiana with “it will bring Chicagoland together” 💀😂

@CourtneyRCronin Not exactly winning hearts and minds here...

While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is “real”, i.e. not a leverage play, a league source told me that the Bears leaving the state is not a done deal. Per source, Indiana is in the lead right now, but “Illinois can still get back in the race,” granted the state has a lot of ground to make up after not passing legislation that would have insured the Bears property tax certainty.

@clayharbs82 I think you misspelled refused to make the terrible financial decision that Indiana made.

Wow! Chicago had every opportunity to figure this out. The state had every opportunity to find a compromise. Instead, we got delays, finger pointing, posturing, and no real solution. As a lifelong Bears fan and former player, I hate the idea of the Chicago Bears not playing in Chicago. That part stings. The Bears are part of the fabric of this city. But from a business standpoint, it just makes sense. The NFL is a business. The Bears are a business. And at some point, ownership is going to do what gives the franchise the best chance to build a modern stadium, control revenue, create a year-round entertainment district, and stop waiting on politicians who can’t get out of their own way. This is not just a Bears decision. This is a Chicago and Illinois failure. You can criticize the McCaskeys. You can criticize Kevin Warren and the process. But if another city or state is willing to make it easier to build, easier to operate, and easier to grow the value of the franchise, then eventually the business is going to go where it is wanted. That is the part Chicago politicians didn’t seem to understand. You don’t keep iconic businesses, franchises, or institutions by assuming they have nowhere else to go. Eventually, they do. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

@AdamSchefter Live view of the Chicago bears ownership...

The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site. As one source said, “There is more work to do but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal.”

@atrupar Lol..ok

Acting AG Todd Blanche says he's working to install "roadblocks" to prevent Democrats from prosecuting Trump and his associates in the future

A Collins classic here where she joins Dems in the failed vote to block Trump’s slush fund so she can say she was against it, but when they needed her vote to get it over the top she was there for them.

President Trump is expected to nominate Todd Blanche to be attorney general as soon as tonight, a source familiar with the matter tells me.

@SeifertESPN It's fine. Can't complain after the year we had last year.

Vikings rank No. 19 in ESPN's Football Power Index, the lowest of the four NFC North teams. Have at it.

🔥 here is the full video of Elizabeth Warren grilling Scott Bessent on Trump's indefensible stock trading. This is a master class.

@jeremymbarr Jesus CBS is pathetic. Masterclass is losing credibility as fast as humanly possible.

Message from new 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton to show staff: Team, You should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott Pelley. I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don't say this lightly. I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose. What I regret most is that this situation interfered with the conversation I had hoped to have with you about Season 59 and the future of this show. I realize this is a great deal of change in a very short time, and I wouldn't pretend otherwise. I won't relitigate the last week with you here. What I will commit to is this: My unyielding support for each of you, the journalism that you do and what we will do together going forward. Nick
