Anton Frondell is arguably the most important player in Chicago's rebuild, in the sense that (ideally) he and Bedard can finally give the team a top-flight offensive duo like most contenders have. Here's a thread on CHI15's NHL debut, with a few clips to illustrate.

Tonight Congress is voting on a bill to deregulate boxing. It's being pushed by Dana White and his Saudi Arabian UFC investors. The bill would gut worker protections for boxers and remake the sport in the UFC’s image — boxers could become underpaid, and under-protected.

BREAKING: New Mexico jury finds that Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp are harmful to children's mental health and orders Meta to pay a $375 million penalty.

This one is great. Very relevant for Kansas City advocates and city councilors. open.substack.com/pub/governance…

Brookside. 39th Street. River Market. 18th and Vine. Westport. All of these neighborhoods — largely built before 1950 — would be illegal to build under today’s zoning laws. The Kansas City Council may consider legislation that aims to change that. buff.ly/Oizj0lf

Look Missouri Republicans, I want to move to Kansas City and I want to pay an income tax. The city has a lot going for it, don’t have to eliminate the income tax to spur me to move to KC.

@SilverPrinceKS Hit me up. I’m on the southwest side of Chi with eyes on moving to KC this summer.

She's BAAAAAAACK

I honestly think Cale Makar placed that shot intentionally so Reinhart could tip it. Because he's that brilliant. He told me once that he believes if a guy goes to the front of the net, he owes it to the guy to try to get him a tip-in. Ridiculous hockey IQ and talent on that guy.

know it's duplicative to adjacent sidewalks, but want a walking trail that connects the Dunn Park Trail to the Marlborough Plaza Fountain in the boulevard on Paseo.

We bought the house we did for two reasons. There was a family with kids our kids age on the block and our kids could walk to school. Urban neighborhoods would boom if they could capitalize on these two things. In KC you see this happening in Brookside and Hyde Park

Dems should introduce legislation defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave MN. One sentence bill. Demand immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding (or other) bills until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

I can’t believe I’m about to retweet Bill Kristol..

Blessed to be from Chicago and you know I have an eye on Kansas City, so seeing this story is just massively disappointing. Believe in public schools & public education. apple.news/AtMDAYydYSnKXh…

@BarsottiKlb @2024dion @brandon_kcmo Early trauma *is* a brain injury, you’re making a point that def should be more widely acknowledged

As of October ‘25, Midtown KC has seen: * Streetcar on Main * 31st St Road Diet * 39th St Road Diet * Broadway Road Diet * Westport Road Diet * Gillham Cycletrack * Cleaver II and Rockhill protected lanes * Armour Rd protected lanes Tides are turning in the War on Cars!

@molzer I believe it’s coming up for a vote in the very near future. Like 3-4 weeks. Parking minimums will be a thing of the past.
