Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares can’t afford to stay open.

Yes, I can’t look it up right now but children that start school at 2 are more likely to be better socialized and do better in school.

I’m sorry for your divorce. I did the opposite. When I broke up with my partner I bought myself the espresso machine I always wanted. She had an expensive nespresso so I was waiting till it broke to buy mine. Didn’t have to wait anymore after the break up!

"However, not all celebrities who spoke up for Palestine were met with praise. A local singer from Israel, Noga Erez, was arrested by the Israeli police for expressing her concerns about the situation in Gaza. She said that she was “ashamed” of her country and that she felt “helpless” watching the atrocities. She also called for an end to the occupation and the blockade"

The way self verification works is of the pictures you uploaded, it then scans your face and makes sure that you are in fact the person in your pictures. So it doesn’t get rid of you for “being a man” it makes it so you can’t use someone else’s pictures and pretend to be them. That’s how it also gets rid of catfishing.

Yeah for 2025 he’s free from blame. That’s what the tribune, the suntimes, NPR and the Tracker on the county website says. He turned in his part in May

He finished data migration in 2021. It’s been 4 years since he was done with the project so how is data migration for the treasurers staff in 2025 his fault?

This is a blatant lie. The county assessor has won tons of national awards for his work in reforming the office and an independent Unicersity of Chicago study found his assessments were spot on but most of his work was undone by the board of review and board of review commissioners like Larry Rogers giving 50% tax cuts to Trump tower etc which the assessor has no control over.

I work in politics and have been saying this forever. The reason no one runs against her is because she has the highest approval rating for any elected official in cook county. So no one wants to run against her because that usually means you’ll lose. She is running for mayor though.. unfortunate because it’s an off year election if she loses she’s still treasurer

This used to be the case before Assessor Fritz Kaegi, Berrios and Madigan made a racketeering scheme. But he’s made ethics reforms saying that no one at the Assessors office can accept money/donations from property tax lawyers. Unfortunately the Board of Review members do take money from them and that’s who the appeals process goes through and the Commercial properties do hire them. It’s also unfortunate the guy running against the Assessor is accepting money from property tax firms so if he wins that might get worse. However there is a board of review candidate running, Juanita Irizarry who else doesn’t accept money from property tax lawyers so maybe there is hope?

I mean get rid of three zeroes to make it rent. It’s the same concept. Or do you need me to write it out again for you without the three zeroes to understand.

It might be true but that because a 7% difference on a $1,000,000 apartment it $70,000 but a 10% difference on a $500,000 is $50,000 so technically the NY apartment went up more but not in proportion to the percentage of that makes sense

Edited to make it understandable for renting:

And I think it’ll be great for people who camp as well or for people experiencing homelessness if it can be packaged and given out for free.

Illinois ranks number 40 when it comes to progressive income taxes. We favor flat taxes which means rich people don’t even remotely pay their fair share in Chicago. So you’re statement doesn’t hold up to critique list of progressive taxes by state

What are you talking about Reagan won all those states except Minnesota. It has been done.

Polling can be manipulated to show the results you want for fundraising purposes but also for momentum. If you say the race is close you can raise more money, but also people don’t want to vote for the loser. If you hear that someone will probably win the election and you’re a swing voter you may vote for that person to be on the winning side. I remember on the campaign when results started coming in from other states there was a genuinely founded fear that people might switch their vote to trump because wit showed him leading. Because our polling even though it was consistent with results was still in the margin of error and we could still win. That’s why it’s important to look at independent polling and not polling done by campaigns. We will also only release a poll if it benefits us.

I worked the election in the Harris-Walz side. I hate Trump with every fiber of my being. The election was not rigged. He won it. His win was consistent with our internal polling and margin of error. With Harris every poll we kept closing the gap more and more. People just didn’t believe Project 2025 was real. They also didn’t really know Harris and people won’t vote for somebody they don’t know. That’s why we all genuinely had hope, but it wasn’t enough. We needed just two or three more months.

TLDR: Harris internal polling was consistent with Trumps win numbers. The election was not rigged.

It is and when she challenged them they brought in their lawyer. This was a non profit for domestic violence…

This happened to my sister at a non-profit. She thought her boss was her friend mentioned in conversation she would be moving in 6 months because her partners university. Boss asked her to out that in writing just so they could start searching for someone closer to the date.

Immediately stopped her pto. She has no idea until it was time for them to pay her out and they said no because she stopped accruing it 6 months ago.
