I visited Christkindlmarket and heard from vendors who are struggling more than even during COVID due to City Hall’s policies. The line restrictions are having an extremely negative effect on sales, most down 40-50%.
 Shop local. Spread the word. Keep our city traditions alive.

Stop wasting money. Start growing Chicago.

CPS blew millions on luxury travel. That isn’t leadership. Fiscal discipline is. As mayor, I will protect our money and resources, not waste it.

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.

“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 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.

I love Open Books because they do something simple and powerful: turn donated books into free literacy programs for Chicago kids. When we back reading, we’re backing Chicago’s future. 📚💛 Give: open-books.org or drop off a donation at the location nearest you.

This campaign is rooted in a simple belief: City government should make life better and more affordable, not harder and more expensive. That means focusing on the issues that shape everyday life in Chicago and building a city people want to stay in, invest in, and believe in. joeforchicago.com.

I did a deep dive on my founder and entrepreneurial journey with David Phillips. share.transistor.fm/s/5f9079af We covered how slept on the floor and more to save money and invest in the business. This is the type of financial discipline Chicago’s city budget needs to get back on its feet.

I’ve worked across this city — teaching, building, listening. I know we can create a Chicago that works for all of us.

The answer to import costs is already here in NZ. Local manufacturers are creating high performance building products right now. Did you know high performance and locally made can be the same choice? #architecture #smarthomes

Secret Service agents are being paid during the DHS shutdown, largely funded by $ from a previous legislative funding bill. As of March ‘26, LEO’s at the Secret Service, along w/ ICE & CBP, are being paid, unlike some fed staff who initially missed paychecks. I’m so sick of this bullshit rhetoric 👇

When the people speak, it's not our job to tell them they're wrong. Our job is to listen. We can advocate against it all we want, but once that ballot initiative passes, you've got to respect it. These guys don't respect it, and they don't respect us. Let's vote them out.

The SCP Foundation is nearly 9,000 entries of horror written as bureaucracy. That's the secret. Clinical language applied to impossible things creates a dread that straight horror can't touch. Here are our thoughts: buff.ly/N3nqh4a #SCPFoundation, #SCP, #Creepypasta, #HorrorFiction, #NerdChic

This unmitigated failure lives in some kind of delusional reality which is fed by his yes man to keep him in the dark as to what's really happening because otherwise his head might just explode 🤨👉🏼which BTW would be just fine with me!🧐👇🏼

Putin says the recent Oreshnik strike was not actually a combat use of the missile. They simply wanted to see how the missile behaves and collect data for future strikes, including on urban areas.
