Bebo, Chicago Rat Czar 🐀

I got this call too, and I still cannot believe it.

Jaime Andrade's campaign just push-polled me by phone with this outright lie and nothing else.

When confronted, the caller admitted she was with "Friends of Jaime Andrade" and hopes he can earn my vote.

So... that's how desperate the IL-HD40 incumbent is with only 26 days remaining on the clock

It looks like these two share more than just MAGA donors.

If Laura Fine is too right-wing for your vote, then Adam Braun probably is, too.

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

I am excited to announce that we will beat your ass this year

Cook County’s top prosecutor outlines process to charge lawbreaking ICE agents Over the past month, elected officials have criticized Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke for failing to act as aggressively as her counterparts in Minnesota in response to shootings by...

The “plan,” as far as I can tell from this story, is to do nothing until a law enforcement agency investigates, gathers evidence, and brings a case to her, which is no different from what she’s being saying.

Brian Hopkins wrote the amended version that was voted on, voted for it to pass out of committee, and then voted against it in council.

How unserious he governs.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Literally every aspect of our politics, technology, culture, etc. is becoming “do this completely unnecessary and often openly evil thing first, then see if we have a reason for it to have happened.”

im so glad i dont know a damn thing about Wuthering Heights. what the fuck is "wuthering". typo-ass name. i dont even want to know

Between this and Prince Andrew, feeling a lot of jealousy for functioning legal systems today

This mailer sent out by Friends of Jaime Andrade accusing Miguel Alvelo-Rivera and his allies of being ICE supporters is not only a lie but also dangerous. The People's 32nd condemns this dirty tactic fully.

From Matt Hill, Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications to Governor JB Pritzker:

The rich should consider themselves extremely fortunate if the only consequence of their behavior is that their taxes go up.

Da Bears have released a statement committing to build in Hammond after Indiana passed the Hammond stadium bill. Could be the reason this hearing was canceled.

As an aside: the most influential Dem consultants all believe the best electoral strategy is to adopt a hostile posture towards the Dem base in the hopes that might convince this person to vote for Dems.

They get really mad if you say that won't do anything except depress lean-Dem turnout.

166 days after Midway Blitz begin, Eileen can no longer ignore the people of Cook County

Obsessed with the path running through 35-32-2 til the Lake

Honestly one of the most fascinating city council splits I've seen in a while. Almost the entire North lakefront, not a single South Side vote, and an ideologically mixed bag of SW side support.

"This isn't a campaign stunt" without a hint of irony on her campaign website lol lmao

IL Assistant House Majority Leader Jaime Andrade’s campaign is sending out some absolutely craven mailers as he tries to hold onto his seat in the race for the 40th State House District. www.instagram.com/p/DU4tIf0DVG...

Mostly impressed with what I’ve seen of his voting record so far. Not perfect of course, but better than his old man I think.

things woud go fucking crazy if me and an open minded woman got up to some bisexual Shit

it's wild how anything anyone said about what was happening in Chicago in the fall was ignored. it was so obvious that ICE/CBP was crushing small businesses and the impact was tantamount to the early days of Covid. In this thread I addressed JB not talking about this enough

Exactly. I would understand a few squishier progressives flipping to avoid blowback in their ward if 26 Ayes were unobtainable, but I don’t consider Jessie or AJQ particularly vulnerable, especially on this topic.
