I was proud to join Michigan Jews for Democracy in Detroit last night to talk about why I’m supporting @AbdulElSayed for Senate. With antisemitism rising, Abdul has shown a real commitment to Jewish safety. He’s the right choice for our community and our country.

The only thing to do is double the size of the proposed building

@Eric_ErinsAug 23
The buildings in this flyer are existing towers. The proposed tower is less than half the height of the towers already there. It isn’t building on the public beach, and the proposal actually INCLUDES concession spaces and public bathrooms which the beach currently lacks. Insane

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved colleague, Riley. He was a cherished member of CDOT's Complete Streets team and a dedicated public servant committed to making Chicago's streets safer and more accessible for everyone. He will be greatly missed.

CDOT lost the best of our team yesterday. We're heartbroken. In memory of Riley O'Neil, please refer to these bike racks as "Riley Racks". He led Chicago's bike parking program for several years. Our hearts are broken but we want to make sure his legacy lives on 💙🚲

If AIPAC is trying to defeat Bushra why are they paying for positive ads supporting her? Because they know it will take from Kat’s margins. They’re banking on that actually! Kat is the only viable path to truly defeating AIPAC in IL-09. There’s a reason Biss isn’t even listed.
Marc Rod@marcrod97Mar 16
A source close to AIPAC says the group's main goal in Chicago is stopping who it sees as 6 potential Squad members: Robert Peters, Kina Collins, Junaid Ahmed, Yasmeen Bankole, Kat Abughazaleh and Bushra Amiwala. That's an apparent strategy shift from the NJ-11 special election.

Only in Cook County can you get arrested for a DUI, fined by the Board of Ethics, and get a vanity PBS interview, because we have no standards for our elected officials.

the ‘23 mayoral be damned; Chuy still knew BALL
Nicholas Wu@nicholaswu1218 Nov 2025
new - Rep. Chuy García has denied purposely clearing a path for his chief of staff to take his seat without facing a primary, but a document filed with Illinois elections officials shows he was the first to sign her nominating petitions, days before he announced his retirement.

All of the names on this page being Chuy machine electeds who kept this under wraps lmaooooo. Is this ethical? Probably not. Is this knowing ball? Hell yeah, he should be fucking minority leader for the rest of his term. We need more knife cutters who make moves again.

Impossible to understand our moment in history without grasping that for many people reality is increasingly a marginal phenomenon that happens around the edges of screen time.

Pre-pandemic I produced ads for down ballot legislation around the country and childcare in New Mexico was a big focus. So happy to see it blossom.

New Mexico is the first state in the country to implement universal free childcare, and the program will save families an estimated $12,800 a year.

Like no, this is not the ideal way to run a nomination process. But this is very clearly MGP attempting to position herself in opposition to a more left-wing coded, big city politician in a way but plays to Republican stereotypes

I think there's a middle ground between being totally fine with what Chuy Garcia did and thinking it needs to be blown up into a national political scandal and a lot of what people are portraying as defenses of Chuy are actually just identifying anti-Dem "Chicago" dog whistling
