About two DOZEN businesses were burglarized in an overnight spree across the North Side.
Restaurants near Clark and Fullerton were especially hard hit.

Less than a day after walking out of jail for a CTA attack, she attacked more people downtown, including a couple taking their grandchild to a Holiday meal at the Walnut Room.
This week, a judge gave her a 3-year sentence, reduced to 18 months by law.

A Blue Line robbery suspect, AWOL from another CTA attack case and wanted in 3 counties, is finally in custody.
Chicago cops caught him after CTA passengers complained because he was smoking crack on the train.
Yes, he was on electronic monitoring.

As today is the Mayor’s budget rollout, I thought I’d chime in on Chicago’s fiscal performance and outlook with a piece in the Tribune (below).
Also, some accompanying charts. First, Chicago’s main operating budget has grown 64% since 2019 vs inflation of 30%… Not ideal!

You can kill anyone you want in this country as long as you use a car, are sober, and don’t leave any hints of your intent ahead of time.

In the quiet before dawn, we escorted Officer Shane Seiber in a silent procession to the Cathedral Basilica. Later today, we say goodbye to our brother, a devoted husband and father. Please keep his family and all who loved him in your prayers. We will never forget.

Wow! I can’t believe no one ever thought to raise taxes here before!… That will surely turn the ship by attracting more investment, jobs and residents fleeing from those evil lower tax and higher growth jurisdictions. Then we can finally push spending per CPS student past $40k!

He was arrested nine times in 2025 and eight times this year.
Now he’s accused of hitting a 77-year-old tourist in the head with a brick days after a judge refused to revoke his pretrial release.
"I stoned his ass!” he allegedly told the cops.

“I stoned his ass!”
That’s what he told cops as they arrested him for hitting a 77-year-old tourist in the head with a brick downtown last month, prosecutors say.
He had 2 pending cases and a judge had just rejected a request to revoke his release.

Incredible. Google says they're "investing millions of dollars into a new station" at the Thompson Center, and they hope the CTA will help keep it clean and safe.
An alderman responds by.... telling Google to invest in public transit infrastructure.

You have to find whatever small joys you can in the darkest timeline.
I have decided to do so by savoring the fact that Palestinian flag has become the global, universal symbol for barbarism and nihilism, proudly waved by every faction that just wants to see the world burn.
