Seriously. And, BTW, does Ald. Villegas live under a fucking rock or what?

Don’t understand why everyone has to pay up and the all the rich assholes/companies are protected and can’t be touched.
“You don’t have to pay this if you don’t want to,” Villegas said. “You could go to your local store, your local brick-and-mortar store, which pays property taxes and employs people, and purchase your goods there.”

Fuck this tho…
The conventional wisdom about government shutdowns is that they always fail. Senate Democrats probably assumed as much when they shut down the government. Perhaps they thought they were giving partisan activists something to root for, even fleetingly, before eventually caving.

Asked and answered!
"My job," Chuck Schumer told Bret Stephens, "is to keep the left pro- Israel." The job of a U.S. senator is to maintain support for a foreign country with his left-wing constituents?

This is probably not incorrect.

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t constantly demand it happen and toss aside Democrats who won’t do it.

Some form of justice has to occur in order to move forward.
Democrats are not going to fire anyone in ICE. They are not going to rein them in. They are not going to arrest anyone. They are not going to punish Trump or any Republicans even if they do come back to power. Stop being delusional

Even funnier is that Levine here was QTing Olivia Reingold, who was in line and apparently had no issues getting into Mamdani’s party.

He’s trying to stir shit up where there isn’t anything.
I was not allowed into Mamdani's event (for obvious reasons) — but Al-Jazeera was standing behind me and I overheard them crowing that "we had no trouble getting in — they like us"

Chicago Bulls jersey this time…
An incredible day at the Vatican. Presenting Chicago's very own Pope Leo 14th with an authentic, iconic @chicagobulls jersey . It was a moment I will never forget and truly blessed that I had this opportunity. I appreciate the Bulls and @670TheScore for allowing me to miss a game.

Funny thing is, he’s not wrong. lol

The Chicago Way!
Congressman Garcia - who had previously filed to run for reelection - changes course in the last hour of the last day to file petitions to run, leaving his chief of staff as the only democratic candidate to file. "Not a good look for the party of 'No Kings,'" says critic and former candidate, Ald @RaymondALopez says.

It was the scene where corrupt former Alderman Ed Burke tried to carry out some of his extortion schemes.
Here is the FBI surveillance image of Ald. Ed Burke sitting in the 1980s-era Burger King on South Pulaski with the folks he was later charged with trying to extort.

I’ve long been of the opinion it should be eliminated.

Saw this post a few minutes ago and that prompted mine above.

It does force Democrats to have try and win senate races. But also, use power they are given to do good things. There would likely be spasms/pendulum swings in some areas.
If they eliminate the filibuster, it means national bans on gender affirming care, bathroom bans, a sports ban, gender marker bans, elimination of legal recognition etc. It will make life unlivable for trans people in the US, even in blue states. It's a worst case scenario.

Thing is, she wasn’t very good at being Press Secretary though.
Her tour is going poorly. In interview after interview, Jean-Pierre perpetually comes across as caught off-guard, unclear of what her core beliefs are and unpersuasive — and she’s taking a bruising on social media for it. This isn’t because she’s bad at speaking; Jean-Pierre has years of experience sparring with reporters as a press operative and campaign adviser.

Also…
This morning at the Supreme Court, @neal_katyal defended two U.S. corporations accused of aiding and abetting child slavery overseas. The question is whether alleged victims can sue these corporations for overseas crimes in U.S. courts. I'll post a few notable exchanges.

Wonder if she’s heard of a law firm called Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP?
Harris also slammed business leaders and institutions in America who have, in her view, too easily bowed to the president's demands. "There are many… that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant, I believe for many reasons, including they want to be next to power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation."

BREAKING: Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot announces the formation of the "ICE Accountability Project." She says it will be a central repository for all ICE/CBP immigration actions. She also says it will include a database of who the agents are. "We're going to unmask them so the public knows who's committing illegal acts," Lightfoot says. More on the "Chicago Report" tonight at 10pm on @fox32news

Aside from the, what appear to be rogue, sheriff’s depts (imagine that!)…does IL AG Raoul ever publicly comment on anything?
The Illinois Attorney General’s Office, which oversees compliance and enforcement of the state’s sanctuary laws, did not respond to requests for comment on contracts.
