Shoutout to the leadership over at GoChiLife for bringing the city out for their third annual One Chicago New Year’s Eve Celebration!

The Soul of Chicago was on full display, and in 2026 we’ll keep making progress toward creating the safest, most affordable big city in America. Happy New Year!

Chicago rang in the New Year the only way we know how: with great music, community, and of course, fireworks!

With our inaugural appearance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, we showed the world why Chicago is the greatest freaking city in the world!

Trump Deserves No Credit for Continued Drop in Crime in Chicago: Johnson, Pritzker Crime in Chicago has been dropping significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic began to wane in 2022, a trend that accelerated after Mayor Brandon Johnson took office in May 2023 and has continued since...

Donald Trump is gravely mistaken if he thinks he’s going to ride on the coattails of this administration.

Violence has been down in Chicago prior to ICE’s disruptive arrival and it will continue to go down. OUR work is working!

Justice Brandeis declared some years ago that America, before long, must make a choice. We can have democracy, or we can have a horde of multi-millionaires. We cannot have both.

Democracy will live on because of this generation. @btnewsroom.bsky.social

‘In No Way Are We Going to Accept This’: Johnson Vows to Resist Trump’s National Guard Deployment “We’re not going to be intimidated in Chicago,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said. “It’s my responsibility to stand up to tyranny and to make sure that we are defending the people of this city.”

was brilliant on Chicago Tonight:

Chicago, on your way to Wednesday night Bible study… remember, let’s stay saved.

Shout to out to Canton Jones for doing what our people have always done and finding joy in midst of struggle.

I’m excited to be in D.C. for CBC and speaking with my fellow Mayors, on the frontlines of this fight, to ensure our communities keep making progress. Black mayors across this country understand our assignment in this pivotal moment and we’re leading the way. @democraticmayors.bsky.social

Yesterday, I got to spend time at the Rainbow Push Coalition supporting the Hope With Helping Hands event.  

Over 3,000 bags of food was provided for 1,200 families in need. This is what community is all about!

LIVE: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker responds to Trump's threats to Chicago YouTube video by MSNBC

Worth watching the @brandon4chicago.bsky.social bit. Calls out that:

Chicago’s guns flow in from red states w/ lax gun laws. “For every gun CPD gets off the streets, 2-3 new ones come in”

Trump gutted the ATF, cutting $460mil and thousands of jobs, making illegal guns harder to get off the streets

Thank you to the courageous faith leaders taking a stand to protect this city.

Chicago, now is the time for us to lean on our faith, hold steadfast to
our convictions and turn toward one another to sustain us on the road ahead.

We will not grow weary. We will not faint. We will keep hope alive.

She deserves due process and must not be unlawfully removed from the Federal Reserve Board. I applaud her courage and stand with her against this administration's attempts to flout the rule of law. (4/4)

We must see this act for what it truly is: Trump once again intimidated by Black leadership and, more specifically, an overqualified Black woman who understands her rights and authority. (3/4)

Dr. Cook received a BA in philosophy from Spelman College. As a Marshall Scholar, she received a second BA in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University. She earned a PhD in economics from the University of California, Berkeley. (2/4)

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is a highly qualified economist and renowned scholar who served with distinction on the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s board of directors. (1/4)

We know our assignments you all. We will not cower, we will not flinch and we will never surrender our humanity.

To the leadership of @stateoftheppl.bsky.social keep going!

This has absolutely nothing to do with public safety. Violent Crime is dropping exponentially in Chicago and in Democratically led cities across America!

This President has declared war on poor and working class people.

Trump is trying to undermine the progress being realized by Black mayors.

I had a great time with my labor brothers and sisters at the Teamsters Local 743 picnic. Special shout out to the most sanctified Teamster Local President Debra Simmons-Peterson.

Chicago!!! You showed up and out at the 96th Annual Bud Billiken Parade!

I always love seeing the best of our city come to life with music, performances, dancing, and culture! You are all the reason why this is the greatest freaking city in the world!

Proud to welcome my Brother Mayor Dickens to Chicago as he campaigns to continue leading Atlanta into the future. Chicago and Atlanta have a rich history of working together to uplift our people. Keep making us proud! @andreforatlanta.bsky.social

Mayor @brandon4chicago.bsky.social joined Mayors this morning to highlight how his administration is advancing public safety and opportunity for every neighborhood in Chicago. #DMASummit2025

The American Dream isn’t one that everyone can access right now but we have the power to fix it. We must turn toward one another, listen, and learn so we can lead our communities toward the transformation we deserve.

See you at work! @justinmbibb.bsky.social @democraticmayors.bsky.social

The Democratic Party I know invests in young people, funds public accommodations, and practices a politics of possibility that meets working people where they are.
