DuPage GOP @DuPageCountyGOP SACE COUNTR The Democrats' BUILD Act will allow developers to bring apartments to single family neighborhoods. They would be allowed to do this by right ... ie no public hearing. Local authority will be tossed aside and suburban mayors are furious. What say you? Are you ok waking up tomorrow to find an apartment next door? See example below. 3:01 PM • Apr 19, 2026 • 423.7K Views

1. Major alert: Trump's anti-trans co-author Moti Gorin will be presenting with Kaltiala and Montante. These are conversion therapy advocates with intense anti-trans ties to hate groups around the world.
Now they'll be teaching pediatricians THIS FRIDAY.

Illinois Urbanists and YIMBYS, how is the BUILD act looking in terms of passage? Has it even made it to committee yet?
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
come on man.
Riffing on this: if you assume your neighbor’s house would become an 8-flat the moment it hits the market, you’re implicitly concurring that the housing shortage is real and that your local municipality is actively suppressing the market through restrictive zoning
I have no idea what else is hiding in the omnibus bill. Frankly I don’t think anyone does.
Both bills are scheduled to be voted on by the house by May 8th.
I specifically asked to not be included in the e-bike bill and I’m not happy about being drug into it anyway.
Holy
Shout it from the rooftops
FUCK YES

Chicago Tribune (https://archive.ph/NJS9u) García’s insider move handed former chief of staff Patty García, who isn’t related to the Southwest Side congressman, an uncontested primary. But three other Democrats have launched independent campaigns for the seat. Patty García reported raising more than $147,000 in the first three months of 2026 and began April with more than $195,000 in her campaign fund, records show. During the same period, Democratic operative Mayra Macías reported raising nearly $102,000 and had more than $159,000 on hand. Progressive Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez, 25th, raised more than $141,000 and had nearly $105,00 on hand, while Lyons Mayor Chris Getty had yet to report raising any campaign funds.
Solid fundraising numbers for @chicagodsa.bsky.social member and 25th-Ward Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez:
Patty García - $147k raised Q1, $195k on hand
Mayra Macías - $102k raised Q1, $159k on hand
**Byron Sigcho-Lopez - $141k raised through Q1, $105k on hand**
We are in this race!!
Wow, it's literally what we started with in 2015. The Great Negotiator.
What did I do??
With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.
Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.
I love seeing the Illinois Restaurant Association and co take a FAT L 😎
under the procedures laid out in the constitution, it is functionally impossible to amend the (intentionally!) anti-majoritarian structures of u.s. government.
as long as this is the case, we are still governed by the rules of long-dead slaveholders & plutocrats.
this is not a democracy.

A very important personal message for you all today:
No, @vimiller.bsky.social and I are NOT the same person.
And the fact that y'all keep confusing us says something about Society™️

Chicago, I’d love to hear yours too. What’s stuck with you since fall?
I love that I know more about my neighborhood schools now. I’ve met more neighbors and I say hi on the street more often. We have new and stronger connections we can call upon.
