| 1640750118092656641 | These assertions in @jonathanweisman's @nytimes story are objectively wrong. A @Suntimes poll in 2019 found Chicagoans (especially parents) supported a teachers' strike and blamed City Hall more than CTU And when schools reopened during COVID, only 25% of eligible kids returned https://t.co/5JzmlPJWqx | 152 |

| 1640343932591652864 | Sorry to harp but Lightfoot should be doing exit interviews with @chicagotribune @Suntimes @WBEZ @nbcchicago @cbschicago @ABC7 @TheTRiiBE @wttw and more — not just for press and public’s sake but to make her own arguments about her legacy. Another self inflicted wound. https://t.co/rbFVQvVCZy | 40 |
| 1639437218220752898 | As a former marketing/comms/PR pro, I always pay attention to photos used in stories of @BernieSanders. They're usually not the greatest. This is a GREAT photo of Bernie smiling, AND the story is currently running on the top of the page above the fold. Thank you @SunTimes! 👏🏽 https://t.co/AgBI4iVAcF https://t.co/kxEIMp1mBn | 35 |

| 1639311750792200206 | @Suntimes Good way to get the moderate voters to turn out for Vallas. If you aren't a "progressive" or identify as "far left", this moves the needle the other way. | 63 |
