Let's build more housing, so working people, young people, the elderly, and more can continue to live in Chicago and the region without fighting impossible rents. Tell your legislator to support the BUILD plan!

Rent is too damn high, Illinois.

We've got a plan for that — the BUILD plan is designed to lower housing costs and increase housing supply.

We didn't learn the lesson.

People are quitting well above the industry average and our hiring process is totally broken.

We're the only rail agency that has the flagger requirement (people who want to be train operators must work a very undesirable construction zone job first).

It will extend the life of fuel bundles, decreasing refueling outages and improving opex. Awesome stuff!

Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train.

"If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example.

The Illinois State House just passed HB 5511, a bill that will require EVERY WEBSITE and EVERY APP to implement an age verification check.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov has pushed this hard and it’s Meta’s preferred solution to avoid liability.
