No mail though. Calls and DMs? Why not a formal letter?

Chi Tribune reported young woman accusing Hilario Dominguez never received outreach from OIG. But OIG report says his office made 12 attempts, leaving voicemails for mom, who would have been familiar & trained on CPS policies and practices.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House. The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took. The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.
Ilhan Omar

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Raiding the home of Congresswoman Omar based on a decades-old alleged paperwork error is part of Trump’s escalating effort to stoke fear and chaos and repress dissent. This is authoritarianism. I hope political officials - Republicans and Democrats - will make clear that this is unacceptable. I stand with Ilhan Omar. apnews.com/article/ilhan-oma…

Agents search Rep. Omar's Washington home in criminal probe as she vows she won't 'be silenced'

Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar says she will “not be silenced” and calls a search of her Washington home part of President Donald Trump’s “intimidation” campaign.

Many tribes called this land home, before it was known as Illinois. On Indigenous People’s Day, we honor that history and look forward to a future together, built on truth, respect, and partnership.

Trump is an authoritarian. He wants to intimidate his political opponents, the media and all those who disagree with him. Ilhan Omar came to America legally as a child refugee fleeing civil war, became a citizen and was elected to Congress. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to silence opposition. Fight back. Defend democracy.

Multiple advocacy groups endorsed the Divvy contract extension in committee today, but Lime managed to squeeze out a victory, as the vote was deferred. 🤔 Meanwhile alders voted unanimously to expand camera enforcement of bus and bike lanes citywise. 👍 chi.streetsblog.org/2026/10/…

I am angry tonight. Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Gotta love it when the Union and workers are ok with it, but hey everyone has an opinion.

This is typical of @40thforward. He pulls up to a Starbucks drive-thru and, rather than ordering, he asks the barista about a contract. This is a childish stunt. Why does Vasquez have to harass people at work to make a political point?

I still remember when the same people who are now calling alderppl problematic were calling for a strong City Council and a weak mayor. So, what’s changed?
