MUST WATCH: Chicago Ald. Bill Conway gives a measured, thoughtful speech on the floor of the City Council today about his colleague Byron Sigcho Lopez after Sigcho Lopez partnered with extremist group Behind Enemy Lines. The group has celebrated the atrocities of Oct. 7 and is openly calling for violent protests of the DNC in Chicago this summer.

I regret to relay that this weekend is apparently* the last for @frankschicago in Lincoln Park. This is both the loss of a good Chicago tavern and a shrewd blow to Chicago’s shrinking strategic reserve of 4am bars.
Go by if you can.
* = So multiple well informed sources say.

New confusion … #statesatty race:
@ChicagoElection says there’s 2,800 provisional ballots left, but a document shows it’s 1,800
In a tight race 1K ballots is ALOT of votes to miscommunicate.

Some people told me tonight they weren’t able to watch the livestream of the @ThorntonTwp meeting, with supervisor, Tiffany Henyard. (Also the #Dolton mayor.)
I was there and will add some clips below.
The meeting started 28 minutes minutes late and lasted 22 in total.

I genuinely cannot believe we're opening the State of the Union on Ukraine. It is a perfect view into the democratic mind as to which country they really want to serve

🚨BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $100 million real estate transfer tax hike has been struck down.
Cook County Judge Kathleen Burke ruled in favor of plaintiffs who argued the referendum question was a classic “log-rolling” tactic — with Johnson forcing voters to decide both tax hikes and tax cuts in one question in order to increase his odds of winning.
This is a massive loss for the mayor and @CTULocal1.
And a win for Chicago renters, small businesses and taxpayers.

Remember these days?
I do. I remember how willing everyone was to drink the Kool-Aid while those of us (the RARE FEW) who asked questions, had concerns or refused to comply were vilified, chastised, fired, treated like pariah by families and colleagues. It hurt. I won’t forget.

For those wondering, Brandon Johnson and his staff’s trip to LA for Grammy’s weekend cost taxpayers about $10,000 in flight and lodging.
The city redacted car rental costs and has yet to provide any other additional costs associated with that trip.
NEW:
Busy weekend for @ChicagosMayor in LA
Policy meetings and ticket to the @GRAMMYs

Getting to the truth has not been a defining feature in the debate over ShotSpotter, but @AldermanTabares did it today.
With panache, Ms. Tabares rebuked progressives for wanting to take ShotSpotter money to fund fraudulent community groups.
Well done, Ms. Tabares.

White progressives are who got him elected so not a surprise that's who he's listening to here.
