Illinois Democrats are trying desperately to tie their opponents to ICE, including in one key state House race Illinois Democrats had been largely unified against President Donald Trump’s Chicago-area immigration enforcement crackdown. Now, the issue is being used as a political wedge in this spring’s Democ…

This is basically straight up lying to the voters by Jaime Andrade’s campaign, which is smearing his opponent by false accusing them of supporting ICE. Good campaign truth squadding by @olivia0.bsky.social

Ammie Kessem, a Chicago cop w/ a long record of homophobia, harassment, bonkers lawsuits & boosting hate groups, is running for Cook County Board (9th).

There is a cost-of-housing crisis impacting communities across America, from our biggest cities to the small towns. Robin Kelly supports a ban on rent gouging, capping annual rent hikes, and implementing a major federal investment in affordable housing.

Want to know the real reason property tax bills went up in Cook County? Corporate tax breaks.

Companies hire property tax lawyers who donate to county politicians, then those politicians give BIG tax breaks to commercial properties. It’s pay-to-play.

They get rich, you pay more.
