How many people have to die as a direct result of judges releasing violent criminals under the SAFE-T Act before we admit this law is failing? These are preventable tragedies that occur when known risks are ignored and dangerous monsters are put back on the streets. There should be accountability when decisions repeatedly endanger the public. Judicial immunity was never meant to shield outcomes that put innocent people at risk. If public safety is not the first priority, then the system is broken, and it must be fixed. We need legislation aimed at holding judges accountable when they disregard the safety of law-abiding citizens in favor of being empathetic to those whose actions have demonstrated they are a danger to the public. I'm calling on the Illinois General Assembly to introduce the Michael Altman Public Safety Accountability Act to hold judges accountable.
A Rogers Park man is charged with murder and arson in connection with the fire that killed a Chicago firefighter in Rogers Park. He's the 4th person charged with killing or trying to kill someone in Chicago this year while on felony pretrial release. cwbchicago.com/2026/03/man-c…

The irony of this picture is it reflects the local DSA arrogance toward real experience. Anthony, a appointed alder, with little real world business experience, talks back to a man with years of restaurant experience. When your wondering what's wrong with Chicago..consider this dynamic. 👇👇👇👇 blockclubchicago.org/2026/03…

Chicago has the opportunity to be the top tourist location on the world but we need a visionary leader to make it the global city it needs to be. Status quo politicians bowing to the special interest groups will only ruin our city further.

Perhaps she'll go on a big national media tour to explain why she's quitting. Or maybe she only does that when she wants to spread information about incomplete investigations.

Imagine a "Mayor" who is more focused on protecting illegal migrants and Chicago's Sanctuary City Status than finding solutions to keep Law Abiding Citizens safe on these same streets. Imagine a "Mayor" whose city is broke, threatening to take #POTUS to court. #ChicagosMayor
