It is both bizarre and outrageously dishonest for a mayor to publicly plead for people to be given second chances while leading a city where residents are routinely victimized by people who have very literally been given dozens of chances.
The man who set a woman on fire at the busiest train stop in the Loop last fall had previously been given exactly 72 chances.
It is unreasonable to give anyone who shoulders Chicago's exorbitantly high tax burden anything less than an ironclad commitment to public safety, which requires realistic sentencing.

People deserve a second chance. Our city is stronger when we make those second chances a reality.

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing.
His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”
This is the same man who called joining Trump’s war “buying cheap tickets for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.”
The French are not holding back.

The problem with this is that we already had a guy doing this. He was cancelling tens of billions of dollars in student loans every month, he implemented the SAVE plan. Yall fumbled him SO hard over complete nonsense.
You brainwashed yourselves into thinking we were in a recession when in reality, our economy was recovering from the pandemic faster than any other country on the planet.
If a democrat wins in ‘28 they won’t take office until 2029. We still have THREE MORE YEARS of this. Such a painful and UNNECESSARY lesson we all have to suffer through.

@MarcGoldwein "As of early 2026, the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio is approximately 137%" 🤔
English

The President’s budget doesn’t include many actual budget metrics. But @BudgetHawks figured out that debt would fall to 94% under their fantasy assumptions, but rise to 124% based on CBO-like assumptions.

Dang - almost like we subsidized demand (industrial policy, electrification) while constraining supply (renewable mandates, Clean Power Plans, etc.)

Electricity rates are rising across the country: In nominal terms, electricity rates have risen 33% nationwide over the past five years, adding about $35/month to household bills.
