CTU is gonna have to come up with some serious bank if Johnson wants to put together a reelection campaign. $370,000 doesn鈥檛 buy much in today鈥檚 campaign world. Good luck w that Jason Lee and Jessica.

馃毃 government report shows that inflation is accelerating at an alarming rate. With recent downward adjustments to unemployment reports there is a high likelihood the US economy will be in recession shortly.

Seriously?! A grown man has inappropriate physical contact w a minor under his supervision and the Mayor sees nothing wrong w that? This entire administration and its supporters are morally bankrupt. Anyone who continues to stand w Hilario should be ashamed of themselves.

This needs to be investigated immediately. Mendoza has been receiving assistance from a number of venture capital bros for months now. Where is the disclosure? These are in-kind contributions that must be disclosed. Big tech and venture capital wants Mendoza to be their mayor.

Seriously?! We are united by class? Mayor Johnson screwed more Black and Brown workers than Daley and Rahm combined. And he is an organizer? Give me a friggin break. How many workers did you directly organize into the union? ZERO! Shut up and go away, Sir.

It is beneath contemptible that Keith Kelleher would claim the accomplishments of Helen Miller. President Miller was a historic figure in the Labor Movement. His attempts at remaining relevant are grotesque.

One of Susana Mendoza鈥檚 top supporters being courted lavishly by Waymo. The company that wants to destroy the jobs of nearly 30,000 hard working Chicagoans. Do you want a mayor who has these kind of advisers? Think Trump and the tech bros. Hard pass for me.

Sounds like the legislature and the Governor believe Susana Mendoza is incapable of regulating cemeteries and crematories. If she can鈥檛 stop dead body Ponzi schemes why does she think she can manage a city government w 30,000 workers? Hard pass on Susana for mayor!
