Gov. Pritzker gets caught in a lie about Chicago's murder rate. If Chicago matched New York City's murder rate, we could avoid 3 out of 4 murders and save over 300 lives each year.

This video is from Chicago public transit. WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS! Nearly all serious crimes on public transit are committed by fare evaders: Los Angeles: 96% of violent offenders Washington, D.C.: 99.5% of serious-crime offenders Chicago doesn’t even measure it. The first step toward a safer CTA is simple: enforce fare payment.

I wonder if Pritzker will be confronted with this appalling story during his next press availability? $78M spent and ZERO work done.

There are now 8 “green” surcharges on electric bills. Billions of dollars in green energy scams I did a FOIA with the Illinois Commerce Commission to find out how that money was spent. Got the result this week. The couldn’t account for a single dime.

The annual Socialism 2026 Conference in Chicago is already going very badly. The Unions are out in front of the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place protesting. Will the 2026 Socialism Conference stand in solidarity with the workers? Will they cancel the conference in protest?

Can someone explain to me the tactics of these Chicago police officers? Why aren’t they doing anything? Are we just allowing fight club in the streets now, with cops as passive referees for the fights? Totally embarrassing for the city of Chicago.

Gov. Pritzker’s entire political career is a case study in billionaire progressivism: 🚽Mansion toilets fraudulently ripped out for a property tax break 0⃣ Zero property taxes paid in 28 years at the taxpayer-owned Hyatt Regency McCormick Place 🧐A “megaproject” bill designed to increase the property taxes of poor and middle-class families to subsidize megamillionaires and billionaires Everything wrong with Pritzkerism in one picture: the ruling class pays less while everyone else pays more. We must stop the Pritzker Megaproject Property Tax Hike.

This should alarm every homeowner and business in Illinois: lawmakers just admitted that the Bears/Megaproject bill gives local governments the power to shift massive property tax burdens onto you. This exchange shows why the Bears/Megaproject bill is the most dangerous property tax swap legislation in Illinois history. Rep. Blaine Wilhour: "Is this up to the local governments to determine how to value the non-taxed fully developed properties?" Rep. Kam Buckner (HB 910 Sponsor): "That's correct, Representative. Local control."

🚨Mayday🚨for Chicago Public Schools. CTU is staging protest today while their kids are failing. At CICS Longwood campus, with 1,180 students, ZERO students are proficient in math. This despite spending over $21,000 per student, and an 83% graduation rate. What is going on in our schools?
