The motion to withdraw was granted, but I do not see any filing indicating that Vallas has found a new attorney, despite these timelines.

Random update amid everything else, but I need y'all to know that Paul Vallas' attorney quit on him last month, citing "Irreconcilable differences and disputes...between Vallas & Laduzinsky making Laduzinsky’s continued representation of Vallas impossible."

Looking forward to another $5 BIPA check someday.

Chicago River at Wolf Point is all grown up.

Not today squirrel! It has already been too weird today.

There is simply no value to Democrats in helping with passing budgets or CRs when the administration claims limitless arbitrary impoundment and rescission powers.

Eye on Uptown earlier today…

We used to be a proper City.

The Fresh Stop Market just east of the Belmont Res/Brown/Purple @cta line has a nice selection of fine seasonal beverages in stock & ready to toast this glorious weather with. #FreePlug #Oktoberfest 🍻

A federal appellate court ruled Tuesday that an Illinois state law banning concealed firearms on public transit systems does not violate the Second Amendment.

Been too long. Great service when an unanticipated huuuuge birthday party showed up and all wanted complicated mixed drinks. Somehow, alert bar staff took care of us simple beer drinkers in between various mules and -tinis. @chicagobars.bsky.social

If I win the Powerball I’m buying all of you a beer. And then I’m putting 10 lawyers and 20 nuns on perpetual retainer. What is your billion dollar Powerball plan?

Undisclosed long time late hour licensed transit adjacent tavern location earlier today. Drinking coffee while working. Felt weird to me too. Good coffee and service though.

Wow, a 3rd grand jury ... for a misdemeanor

ICYMI at 6am today it was stupid clear and pretty out this morning in Chicago. Still far too early but was pretty.

This story is nuts chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

Something old, something new(ish), and lots of something blue… it’s a pretty city.

Disclosed location. Drinking a beer I had not seen on draft in a very long time at a bar that I cannot believe (but accept) is closing down.

The political staffer that delivers this win is going to be a minor legend. (no pressure)

It was driving me nuts and then I figured it out.

A venerable Chicago 4am bar is being bought by people who already own a 4am bar and will keep this one open late too. This makes me happy. Your bartenders, servers, and kitchen crew need places to unwind after work too. Congrats to the Mother Hubbards team on buying Burton Place.

Undisclosed statuary blessed tavern location that still opens early on weekdays. A godsend if you need to hang out before you meet someone out at O’Hare but don’t want to spend a fortune at ORD hotel bar working while waiting. Bartender Bree was aces too.

Really wild and unique cloud coverage over Chicago and Lake Michigan this afternoon #ILWX

Another hellish Saturday twilight on the concrete beaches of Chicago.

For your consideration from the other app @annecaprara.bsky.social

Just In: Cook County Democratic Party dumps Assessor Fritz Kaegi and endorses Lyons Township Assessor Pat Hynes for its party slate.

The striking Chicago skyscraper built on a former church parking lot, a development deal largely driven by the Archdiocese’s need to pay settlements in dozens of clergy sexual abuse lawsuits. Real estate is weird.

Undisclosed location. Drinking Koval Distillery whiskey cocktail.

Dear Chicago, In recent days I’ve seen many of you advise New York City on who they should elect as Mayor. This is surely well intended but also wrong. They don’t get us, nor us them, and so we owe it to NYC to let them pick freely from the jagoff jamboree running for the job.

The Little Lending Library near Tapster on Wrightwood has some real bangers if anyone needs a good free read inside a quiet well air conditioned bar. #FreePlug

My curfew what now? Here is extent of my City Council lobbying on the snap curfew ordinance: Alder: “Do you have a position on the curfew ordinance? [Person X] said you support?” Me: “Lol. Support it? I haven’t even seen the substitute!” Keep tilting at windmills & yelling at clouds jackass.

It’s not going to pass you jackass. Fucking come back to twitter to yell at me if you want to wage ad hominem attacks about things that aren’t going to happen and that you don’t really understand. Geez, I’d heard this app had standards ya’ fucking jabroni.
