Regardless of politics or faith, purely from the perspective of shared human values and social dialogue, I’m truly excited about this Pope! I’m glad to see him continuing to move the Church forward, with openness, inclusion, and acceptance for all

Chicago’s 75 year parking meter lease: a legendary deal. In 2008, Chicago leased its parking meter revenue to a private consortium (led by the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund) for $1.1B over 75 years. Today, those meters generate over $150M annually, all going to investors

It's about doing the right things better
It's about doing the right things better
If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

We have so many brilliant people, yet healthcare, visa issues, and the burden of education are pushing them overseas. What we lack is a system that's willing to lower the barriers for everyday entrepreneurs. Stop saying “the market is choosing”, the system is filtering out those at the bottom
Every single “investment expert “ is emphasizing diversification to include investment in other stock markets. And that will extend to private markets and start ups.
It’s possible to export your smartest people, hire overseas , and fund their business at a fraction of costs you face here. Insane

What we need is not emotional labeling, but respect for the facts. The moment you start replacing evidence with “what something looks like,” the victim isn’t just one person—it’s the entire system of trust in our society. And that brings us dangerously close to institutional collapse
The DHS spokesperson is now alleging that Mr. Abrego Garcia was arrested with "rolls of cash and drugs" and was "wearing what is effectively an MS-13 uniform" (Chicago Bulls gear). But:
1) He was arrested for loitering and not charged for anything
2) PGPD previously said they had no incident report

Yesterday marked the fifth day of Passover. The interfaith Seder brought together faith leaders, public servants, and community builders to reflect on the story of Exodus — and the timeless message it carries: liberation from oppression, the fight against hate, and the power of unity
