Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.

Who is the sucker? Really thinking Dems wanted Irvin and not Bailey because he hasn’t been paid for yet. Vote for Griffin’s guys if you want the mob rule to continue.

True GOP voters don’t get suckered into anything!
