Suggest everyone just chilling until CBoE says how many ballots are in play. Some of you losing your minds and it may not make any difference anyway.

Chinatown precincts went *big* for Vallas. Asian voters are a small bloc in this city, but CTU's attitude toward them straddles the line between dismissal and full-blown antagonism.

Following up a major electoral rebuke by telling voters “The problem is you, not us” doesn’t seem like a winning strategy.

It's actually not that complicated: America is a cruel country where many people believe that homeless people deserve their situation and a majority of voters would prefer not to spend tax dollars on improving their lives.

I’ve always been cold toward vouchers as an effective policy, but the loudest opponents against them are always people who’d never in a million years send their kids to a neighborhood Philly public high school, but believe that poor families should be stuck with that choice.

I mean, he’s not wrong. Whoever decided to have him coming out trying to sound like Elizabeth Warren is the type of person who likes Elizabeth Warren, and therefore should never be taken seriously.

Yes, yes, you were in your 20s in 2008. You’re very edgy. Complaining about change will shield you from your own aging irrelevance and make you feel cool again.

@JimA21754232 The 606 is a perfectly pleasurable route to take on a bike, and complaining that you have to contain your speed to a safe level just makes you look like an inconsiderate ass.

In Chicago, the school district is still paying $200 million per year to lending institutions for loans that JP Morgan Chase, among others, sold and earned 9.5% profit or $110 million in the first year alone.

Intentional or not, it was a fortuitous choice by Brandon Johnson to select a guy without any kids to lead the school board considering the number of vocal education activists who keep getting outed for sending their kids to non-CPS schools.

At 33, Jianan Shi is the youngest board president appointed to the position — and the last to preside over a fully-appointed school board.
