This is some serious gaslighting. No one is criticizing Garcia for retiring. The issue is that he announced his retirement after the deadline was closed, and his chief of staff had been tipped off and filed the paperwork to be the only candidate on the Dem ballot in a D+17 CD.

Shout out to Pilsen TIF for investing in a much needed playground for the children of Whittier Elementary! When Solis, Rahm, and Lightfoot misused TIFs, they took money away from public ed. Now Pilsen TIF funds can direct tax dollars to public goods instead of more cops 🙏

This is what Yarden Bibas, husband of Shiri, father of Kfir and Ariel, wrote today on his Facebook page, after Netanyahu's decision to renew the war. I hope all the Jewish organizations that posted online endlessly with images of this family, will honor his words and take action.

When we invest in our communities, the results are real. Over 28,000 young people have been employed for summer jobs, that investment has supported a reduction in violence. Special thanks to Professors Teresa Córdova and Andrew Papachristos for their insights on our progress.

Elon Musk is mad about Judge McConnell’s decision to unfreeze federal grants… So he posted a picture of his daughter, her full name, her position of where she works, and a page of a signed tax statement she filed. The judge’s daughter. 😯

I wonder what differences there are between Musk and Ye that make the ADL respond differently to their antisemitism!
According to the @ADL, Elon being a Nazi is good, Kanye being a Nazi is bad. Make it make sense! The ADL is a joke.
