    My deepest condolences are with the family, friends, loved ones & fellow firefighters who served with one of Chicago’s finest, Michael Altman. We can never be grateful enough for brave souls, like Michael, who protect lives and run toward danger. Michael’s service is a powerful

    It changes the results of the election in New York if you take out New York City. Same for PA if you take out Pittsburgh and Philly. The list goes on and on. Next these morons will file suit to only count exurban & rural votes.

    If only every CTA rider had their own well-armed security detail to ride the trains with them… I am again renewing my call to put police officers ON trains (walking car to car between stations) so that every rider can feel just as safe as the mayor does when he occasionally

    Apparently the Mayor, a former teacher, doesn’t do homework… One of the Mayor’s new Board of Education appointees made the mistake of admitting in his official bio that he doesn’t even reside in the city of Chicago: “Reverend Johnson and his wife, Cook County Justice Sharon O.

    About an hour ago, my very best friend on earth ever, Max, took his last breath at the vet. I’m just grateful that fate granted me the past 96 hours to love on Max, hug him & make sure he knew just how much he was loved by me & so many others. I already miss him so much. 💔

    This is my dog Max. He’s almost 14 & super sick. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He’s been in hospital for 48 hours & treatments didn’t work. Max could use some prayer. He is my best friend on earth & the sweetest most loving little guy you could ever hope to know.

    It’s 10:19AM and our 10:00AM City Council Meeting (scheduled by the Mayor) has yet to begin…because the Mayor is late. Again.

    Here we go again! Brandon was sued in 2016 by Capital One Bank for $3,657.51 in unpaid credit card debt. He lost on default judgment. Brandon Johnson’s paychecks were garnished. And he makes well north of $200,000 a year as a high priced lobbyist & elected official? Gotcha.

    Fewer cops; 800 million in new taxes; & a new City Income Tax for people who make over $100,000 doesn’t sound too “healthy, vibrant or affordable” my friend. That’s why I voted @PaulVallas.

    You know it’s 9/11, right? Your first tweet of the day is talking about banks ordering employees back to work: it’s 9 fucking 11. Respect our first responders, our fellow Americans and all lost that terrible day. For 10 minutes, be a President & honor our heroes & lives lost.

    Every once in a while, President Preckwinkle & her protege Mayor Johnson can’t help but let slip their indifference toward crime victims & their outright animosity toward local law enforcement. Putting violent criminals in prison doesn’t protect communities?!? I will always
