If parenting is too burdensome, perhaps Mayor Brandon Johnson should have remained a CTU organizer. And if crime, housing, and the budget are so overwhelming, why not concentrate on those issues rather than visit the border? Pay no attention to Johnson. He is just a talker.

@ChicagosMayor What does he mean by "you've never had a mayor like me?" Does he mean we've never had one that's as terrible? Is he trying to give Bilandic a run for his money?

John and Mayme Surrency were murdered the day before Thanksgiving 1936. Garland Headley was tasked with prosecuting the three men involved. What he uncovered sent him and his family fleeing the United States. What did John and Mayme know that led to their murder?

@ChicagosMayor We know that paying his water bill is even too overwhelming for him.

@ChicagosMayor There are people in this city who work twice as hard for less than half the salary and still get more done.

@ChicagosMayor I swear I'm not trying to sound like a dick but saying "I have a black wife and black children" makes it sound like that kind of lifestyle is untenable. Like we're all supposed to knowingly agree how much trouble black wives are.

@ChicagosMayor I'm fairly certain we've had previous mayors who had wives and children....

@ChicagosMayor What does he mean? Never had a mayor like him?? And what does it matter that his wife and kids are black we all know that.

WTTW's Chicago Tonight isn't known as a repository of intellectual honesty, but Steve Daniels was brutally honest. Daniels referred to Mayor Brandon Johnson as a "tool of the union (CTU)" and described the role Johnson is playing in negotiations with the CTU as "not protecting taxpayers." Whoa.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says it’s “dangerous and irresponsible” for Trump to deport the illegals from Chicago. Johnson adds that doing so would be “threatening our economy.” If Johnson has built a city supported by illegals then he should resign.

Listen to Mayor Brandon Johnson dodge answering whether Illinois should take advantage of Trump's Educational Choice for Children Act. The White House plan would give nearly $1B in federal aid to Illinois families. The CTU and Johnson, naturally, are firmly opposed to Trump's plan because it benefits private schools. Rather than answer, the mayor immediately shifts to demand the General Assembly impose a series of taxes, specifically a millionaires' tax. Johnson is rejecting nearly $1 billion in federal aid because he prefers higher taxes on Chicago residents.

When asked if he cares what people are saying about him online, Brandon Johnson replied, “Why would I?” He blamed big corporations for not sharing the wealth and promised to keep making noise. Bottom line: Mayor Brandon Johnson couldn’t care less what you think.

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. One of those critics—policy scholar and author Howard Husock—joined Dan Proft to explain why America’s public-housing legacy should serve as a warning, not a model.

Mayor Brandon Johnson goes full racist saying Chicagoans should support businesses in black and brown communities. Why not support businesses regardless of skin color? He then wrongly says President Trump is a failure. Johnson had the worst approval of any mayor in US history.

Rather than pulling the race card, Mayor Brandon Johnson should produce results. He has the lowest approval in modern Chicago history - including among black people. Crime is still rampant. Incompetent politicians deflect to race when they can’t defend their results.

BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s hand-picked school board just voted unanimously to fire Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez without cause. Johnson and the Chicago Teachers Union have been pushing for months to oust Martinez following his refusal to back Johnson’s demand for a $300M high-interest loan to pay for a new CTU contract. The CTU is Johnson’s largest campaign funder and former employer.

Listen how Mayor 6.6 responds to Mary Ann Ahern's question over whether the cost of sheltering illegals was a waste. In between blaming Texas twice, the federal government for not passing immigration reform once, and claiming he "inherited" the crisis of illegals three times, Mayor Brandon Johnson says yes, it was worth it. The $600M spent on illegals is the single biggest reason why Chicago is staring down a $1.2B budget deficit and tax increases on, well, everything are imminent. No, Mr. Mayor: It wasn't worth the cost. They should have been deported.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson goes on a wild rant saying he can’t stop teens from committing crimes and that it’s up to the parents. He implies that more police and arrests won’t fix things, and that long hugs are a solution. Johnson is the problem.
