Housing is the biggest expense in most people’s lives. If we want Chicago to be more affordable, we have to make housing a real priority, not something that keeps getting pushed from the top of the list.

Ask anyone who rides CTA daily like I do: the smoke in the train cars, from cigarettes, cigars, and weed is out of control. It affects everyone, especially people with asthma, older riders, and kids.

Safe, clean CTA will be a top priority as your next mayor.

Achievement starts with attendance. Right now, 30% of CPS students are chronically absent. We have to do better, for our students and their families.

Affordability isn’t political. It’s personal.

Clean energy = lower bills. It’s better for the city, and better for your wallet.

“I want you to be my mayor.” This conversation in Garfield Park turned into a real talk about financial literacy, education, opportunity, and what people actually want for their families and their future. Chicago deserves more conversations like this.

Chicago’s credit rating just went down again and it matters. The answer isn’t more spending or higher taxes. That only makes it harder to live here, drives people out, and buries the city deeper in debt. We need to fix the budget responsibly, not ask Chicagoans to pay for mistakes that set us back

The future isn’t something we can ignore. Chicago needs to lead on new industries so more people have access to opportunity, not fewer.

Chicago has thousands of vacant lots, full of potential but left untouched for years. These could be homes. These could be businesses. This could be hope for a neighborhood that’s been waiting too long. It’s time for leadership that doesn’t just talk about potential but turns it into progress.

Days before Memorial Day, Trump waved off the 13 Americans lost in his war of choice with Iran—"somebody else would have lost 100,000 people"—reducing 13 grieving families to a talking point.

Greg Gutfeld claimed that Trump won the 2020 election. He then demanded that Jessica Tarlov explain court cases that proved Trump didn't win in 30 seconds. I provide examples directly from the $787.5 million defamation settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems.

If I believed this story, I'd have so many questions.
