When he was running for mayor, Johnson was adamant and clear that keeping the Bears shouldn’t come with a multibillion dollar bill for taxpayers. This week Johnson says his support is “not at all” inconsistent with his progressive platform or roots: https://t.co/heffbh6grO

An excellent article from an even better person @ArmanAShahriar about the harm caused by the prior authorization process. More than worth the read.
Another spectacular article from @ArmanAShahriar. This one combining the best of health humanities and some serious, evidence-based advocacy. Please give it a read. @MedChiefs

Feeling very frustrated with the Johnson administration. This shit show on multiple fronts is not what I voted for.

Better preserved myocardial energetics detected by non-invasive cardiac 31P MRS in HFrEF predicts future LVEF recovery, LV reverse remodeling, and clinical hard outcomes (cardiac death, LVAD, or transplant). Our paper just out in @CircAHA!

This headline should read "Big Real Estate corporations don't want to pay a Mansion Tax to house the homeless in any of our cities, but we're gonna make them do the right thing regardless." @BringChiHome
Critics worry that Bring Chicago Home — Mayor Brandon Johnson’s request to hike the transfer tax that he hopes will pour more funds into homelessness prevention — might encounter the same pitfalls Los Angeles has struggled with. https://t.co/LlRVefctl4

I am so fucking sick of capitalists squeezing the life from us, claiming that if they don’t, “cities” will struggle. Cities are made up of *people* who are struggling NOW. If offering minimal paid leave crumbles your business, it wasn’t a good business.
Chicago City Council is about to vote on doubling paid leave mandate to be one of the most expansive in US. Opponents such as Ald. Brendan Reilly warned: “We're really piling on the business community right now … If we head down that spiral, we're not far off from being Detroit”
