@RyanSublett1 @VEEPILF @platinombrero “Billionaires shouldn’t exist. But wait this one is okay because he agrees with me politically. Only then should they exist.”

@VEEPILF @platinombrero A lot of people are making this a two person race between Newsome and Harris. If Prizker gets in he could make noise. He has the resources without having to raise money to get his name out there.

It’s only right we get a FDR after our second Hoover

@paschutz Yes had nothing to do with the 11B in pension sweeteners signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker Paris, smh

Political gridlock costs $$$$

@justholyshit @cdm813 @mcsquared34 These loans weren’t extended to business as a way to prop up failing ventures. The govt took the unprecedented step to shutter most businesses overnight. Resulting lost revenue this was never to be regained. Did you think employees would simply be paid regardless?!?

@cdm813 @mcsquared34 That explains why extending loans was necessary, that doesn’t explain why forgiving loans was necessary. Unless you’re saying those businesses were already so inefficient that the don’t profit from their operations, in which case the taxpayer propped them up needlessly.

@justholyshit @cdm813 @mcsquared34 You might be surprised by this but most business become “inefficient” overnight when the government mandates that they shut down.

@CropInsCattle @CoachWestern @Coach_Thome @LebCoSports1 @usabasketball @YouthSports_Biz @PIAASports Just admit you were a terrible athlete growing up and and now trying to make up for it by winning at the detriment of teaching young kids. YOU want to win. Just own it.

@CoachWestern @Coach_Thome @LebCoSports1 @usabasketball @YouthSports_Biz @PIAASports That’s my issue is everybody cries coaches play zone cause they can’t teach defense well maybe they should do a better job of teaching offense and passing. With ball movement you can get 10ft jumpers and layups, I think they are strong enough to make those right?

Watching 3/4th grade basketball tournament... Coaches who play zone at this age are what is wrong with youth sports.. That is all. @LebCoSports1 @usabasketball @YouthSports_Biz @PIAASports #coach #notcoaching #laziness

@MidWestMet @PeterGr329 IL Democrats haven’t met a data center or failing car company that they haven’t thrown the (taxpayer) kitchen sink at

@PeterGr329 Have you met IL's governor? The man spent $35 million in a Republican primary in the last governor's race to boost his preferred opponent.

The Indiana/Bears news today getting some play in the MAGA influencer worlds. Left out, Indiana taxpayers foot billions of the upfront costs for a project that's about four blocks from the state line:

@paschutz Hmmmm don’t recall the “least amongst us” also receiving a coveted Anheuser-Busch distributorship

Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr. negotiated hostage releases, counseled Presidents and fought for Civil Rights - but he never took his focus off of the issues facing his beloved adopted home town of Chicago. I remember him testifying before the Cook County Board to make sure jail inmates had access to phones. And he was truly generous with his time when it came to local media. I enjoyed our various interviews over the years immensely, partially in disbelief that I was talking directly to a living, breathing icon central to modern American history. He was not a perfect human being, and admitted as such. But he never took his eye off the mission of lifting up the least among us and empowering those who felt left behind. May he Rest in Peace, and may Jesse Jr, Jonathan, Santita, Yusef, and his family find comfort in their father's legacy.

@Jershy @CourtSpinelliTV @paschutz @EricHorngABC7 So where are all the millions of taxpayer dollars going that is spent programs to assist these people? How many CEOs running these programs are A. Related to a politician and B. Paying themselves $250k+? What results are generated from all that spending?

@lolleragent @CourtSpinelliTV @paschutz @EricHorngABC7 I can see your position on this but, I can guarantee you, Chicago has not done all they can do for these people. Chicago sucks at almost everything. This is one of those areas.

This was the first I’ve heard about this unprovoked act of violence against a colleague in the local news media. I’m thinking of the victim and hope they are recovering well and getting the support needed.

@CourtSpinelliTV @paschutz @EricHorngABC7 “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.” There is a certain % of the population that has proven they don’t want to live in a civilized society. No amount of therapy or govt handouts will change this guy’s behavior. Lea is simply condemning the next victim with her words

Tonight, ABC7 reporter Leah Hope shared her story following a vicious attack in early January. She tells @EricHorngABC7 she is adamant she’s not a victim, and hopes her story prompts change. abc7chicago.com/post/leah-hope…

@gone_roguing @fox32news And what business do you run pray tell?

@fox32news Businesses shouldn’t exist if they can’t pay living wages. Pretty damn simple

Rep. Krishnamoorthi: $7.25 is a poverty wage but I think a $25 minimum wage could really hurt some of the smaller businesses. I worked to help stop the Kroger and Albertsons merger... but we need to do more on that to keep food affordable for families.

@HawkeyeLooper @IlliniTime9 @itsAntWright Who quietly exit in the 1st weekend

@IlliniTime9 @itsAntWright Yep. We have NPOYs in my program

Keaton Wagler with 46 points on 17 shots on the road vs a Top 5 Purdue squad One of the greatest performances you’ll ever witness

@paschutz 7 paragraphs in - “The officials had requested early retirement prior to the Minnesota shooting.” Come on, Paris.

More turmoil in the Dept of Justice:

@BenSzalinski Hmm perhaps someone whose job it is to ask politicians questions would then ask Pritzker why his PAC has not donated heavily to Stratton then. If only this type of person existed…

It's worth noting Pritzker hasn't gone all out for Stratton. He's endorsed her and donated, but his big money via a PAC hasn't arrived so far as we know. If Stratton doesn't compete on ads with Raja and boost her name ID, it's hard to say voters rejected Pritzker's record

@currcl @jaketapper Should be a non-issue for any Dem presidents

@jaketapper so in the future presidents will have no longer have to come to congress to kidnap "dictators" bad precedent set by trumpy

On the lack of congressional notification before the operation: Rubio: “This is not the kind of mission you can pre-notify” Trump: “Congress has a tendency to leak.”

@JWerner247 If only the schedule makers have him a month between games to prepare…

I know some people don't want to hear this, but Aaron Henry is scheming this one up. #illini with 3.0 sacks already, great coverage and are shutting down Tennessee's passing attack (53 yards on 10 pass attempts and minus-18 yards in sacks).

@ricefield @mattyglesias Then don’t anchor to some arbitrary income standard

@mattyglesias Right. But ultimately people don’t anchor to some arbitrary lifestyle standard. The real litmus test ultimately comes down to some version of “is my standard of living meaningfully better/more comfortable than what my parents had / what I fee up with?”

@iajlbee @texasfuzz @ded_ruckus @xwanyex This useful idiot will demand this “reform” happen and then when banks stop lending Will in turn demand that gov’t force the banks to lend based on his incoherent math.

@texasfuzz @ded_ruckus @xwanyex So this is just entirely envy-based. Your entire economic thinking is just envy.

The average person has no idea how anything works

@BobZuppke Bert getting outcoached again

@JWerner247 3 man rush AGAIN on third and long. Just fire Henry now

And on 3rd-and-12, #illini allow a TD pass from Preston Stone. Illinois is so awful on 3rd-and-longs, and Illinois got beat over the top there. Miscommunication between Heckel and Miles Scott? Inexcusable. 10 plays, 75 yards, 5:37 Northwestern 10, Illinois 7; 5:50 left 2Q

@JWerner247 The difference is Lunney’s absolute refusal to run Feagin over and over again

END 1Q: Northwestern 3, #illini 0 The difference? Northwestern 2-2 on fourth down, Illinois 0-1 on fourth down
