It’s 3:15am and we didn’t get a transit bill through both houses so here’s what that means for Chicago-area transit riders: • No changes thru the end of 2025.

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.
