"You hardly see a police car in the neighborhood," says Chicago pub owner and robbery victim Declan Morgan. "It just seems like crime is really out of control right now...Mayor Johnson's more worried about his School Board...he should be worried more about the neighborhoods..."

🚫 Today I Was Blocked From Covering Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson's press conference - That’s Not Democracy. Here’s the raw video of Gov. JB Pritzker’s staff denying me media access to his press conference with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson this afternoon — for no reason and with no explanation other than I wasn’t “on the list.” I’ve attended and questioned Gov. Pritzker before, and I’ve been a credentialed reporter in Chicago for more than a decade. This is a textbook First Amendment violation. The Governor’s staff even threatened to have me thrown out of the building by State Police. 🚔 And let’s be clear: this press conference was staged. It wasn’t just about condemning Trump’s Border Patrol deployment to Chicago — it was about Pritzker and Johnson surrounding themselves with friendly reporters who would stick to their talking points. Pritzker is planning a White House run, and he can’t have #ThatReporter asking tough questions. Silencing me is silencing the public. #FreePress #FirstAmendment #ThatReporter

I THINK BANK ROBBERY IS "INSENSITIVE," MR. MAYOR! At Wednesday's City Hall presser yesterday, Mayor Johnson was more upset about me being "insensitive" and calling Vice Mayor, Ald. Walter Burnett, what he is - a convicted bank robber, than he was about the S&P downgrade of Chicago's credit due to his reckless $17.1 B budget. He dodged my question on whether he's learned anything from LA Mayor Karen Bass' incompetence. He's sending Burnett ($500K+ salary) on an overseas trip at taxpayer expense - and twice refused my question about where Burnett was going, why and at what cost. Johnson's election as Mayor was always about grift for him and his wife, Stacy. (A $5,000 "First Lady chair," really? ) I don't think he ever cared about Chicago or Chicagoans and....it shows. And, yes, that is Kennedy "F **k the pigs" Bartley ($192K salary) grabbing my mic. Just watch. #thatreporter.

The Juneteenth flag was unfurled today in Chicago, and Mayor Brandon Johnson's racism was on full display. Reparations and slavery featured prominently in his address. Johnson announced a $4M grant, based on race only, to blacks as a form of reparations. Johnson is a disgrace.

🚨RAW VIDEO FROM TODAY'S Q&A WITH Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: The City Council vote was delayed today on Mayor Johnson's reckless $830 million in new debt/spending plan that would stick Chicago taxpayers with $2 billion in interest through the year 2055! At his post-City Council Q&A, I told him that Black and Brown residents are calling his massive debt plan "raggedy" (his favorite word) and that it reminded them of the DEI scams Elon Musk is exposing with DOGE on the federal level. Chicagoans who aren't even born yet would be paying the interest on his debt long after he's been voted out of office and —why should they? That's what I asked him and, of course, he didn't like it. 😉 Here's his word salad response. Of course, his people cut off my follow-up question and my mic. Watta fraidy cat. #thatreporter

He’s a 78-year-old vet who went to the same restaurant every day for 10 years. He ordered the gumbo, light on rice, no crackers. Then one day he stopped showing up. And the chef knew something was wrong. "Something just told me to grab my keys and head out to try to find out what's going on with him."

Mayor 6.6 delivered some banner comments at a presser today. Race baiting featured prominently in his remarks. According to the mayor, "we can’t incarcerate our way out of violence." Johnson then added: "Prosecuting and incarcerating is “racist, immoral, and unholy.” While declaring Chicago's criminal-justice system is hopelessly and intractably racist, Johnson ignored the fact an overwhelming majority of murder victims in Chicago are minorities.
