Karim Lakhani, running for IL State Rep in the 12th District, is hoping $500,000 is enough to buy the Democratic primary despite Crain’s Chicago Business saying, he “has not been involved in any civic, school, political or business group in the area". The district should not be bought!
Greg Hinz: Who — and what — do voters want in the Legislature? Here's a race to watch.
In these days when most of the normal rules of politics seem obsolete, voters seem open to candidates who are new and fresh. But are there limits to that trend?

Donald Trump formally took a spastic leap in that direction last Thursday when he issued “National Security Presidential Memorandum - 7” — which directs his administration, on the barest of pretexts, to investigate and prosecute organizations that oppose Trumpism as domestic terrorists.

One thing any would-be authoritarian has to do if he wants his dictatorial dreams to come true is make it a “crime” to criticize or oppose his regime.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
