It’s still amazing that the IDOT budget is not more heavily contributing to transit. Without transit, there would be more cars — and therefore more wear and tear on the city and suburban roads. abc7chicago.com/post/il-stat...

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

This is hilarious. They’re now going on the offensive against Amazon (again!) after having invited Bezos to sit behind Trump at the inauguration, after Bezos paid tens of millions of dollars for a Melania documentary and contributed to the inauguration fund. ‘Hostile’. Sure.

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I have no doubt that a result of Trump’s illegal firings today will be higher prices for American consumers because the FTC cop is now off the beat. Trump’s descent into dictatorship continues unabated. robertreich.substack.com/p/more-of-tr...

Several Teslas were set on fire at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas today. Oh also, Tesla insurance rates are set to spike as the cars increasingly become vandalism targets.

Stipulating that zoning laws can at times be counterproductive, we in Denver barely had any zoning laws & then 9 gas stations were built in a residential neighborhood - an example of how "all zoning laws are bad because yay abundance!" is also idiotic.

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians since Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

🚨NEW FED STUDY: Credit card rates are being driven higher not because of risky borrowers, but because credit card giants use monopoly power to fleece you. Credit card companies now spend 10 TIMES more on ads than regular banks - all to create a monopoly.

What's in your wallet? A scam. A new Fed study suggests that those ubiquitous celebrity ads for credit cards end up jacking up your interest rates - which fleece millions of Americans, boost bank profits, and pay the celebrities to be the endorsers.
