As Mayor Brandon Johnson Brandon Johnson moves forward with plans to convert parts of the Loop’s financial district into public housing, critics warn the city is walking directly into the same disastrous policies that once produced Cabrini-Green, the Robert Taylor Homes, and decades of concentrated poverty.

The mayor of Naperville, Scott Wehrli, released a video this week urging residents to contact their state legislators to oppose the Build Act, a bill being pushed by Governor Pritzker that would mandate developers be allowed to build six to eight-unit residential buildings on lots currently zoned for single-family homes, by right, with no local hearing, no city council vote, and no community input. Stephen Moore, economist and co-author of "The Trump Economic Miracle," joined Dan Proft to weigh in on the Build Act, the housing crisis more broadly, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s property seizure proposals, and the AI industry’s self-inflicted communications problem.

Gov. Jelly Belly likes to brag about how much money he's giving teachers union members, all while Illinois falls further behind in education. Hint: It's not about the money! h/t: Wirepoints
