Progressive Chicago pol Stephanie Coleman accused of ‘prancing' around Nashville as home district flooded in storms: ‘Tiffany Henyard vibes'
A progressive Chicago politician is facing backlash for galavanting around Nashville as her district was 'devastated' by severe storms and heavy flooding. Alderwoman Stephanie D. Coleman (D) showed off in a glamorous yellow dress, gold jewelry, a bulky watch and an expensive Chanel vanity bag during her trip to the 40th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards. Coleman, 37, flaunted the dazzling ensemble in multiple social media posts, several including her twirling her dress around on the street and strutting through a hallway like a runway model. 7 Chicago Alderwoman Stephanie Coleman twirls around in her yellow dress and Chanel vanity bag in Nashville, Tenn., on Aug. 16, 2025. Instagram / stephaniedcoleman As she 'pranced' around Music City, the Windy City was ravaged by multiple thunderstorms over 17 hours between Aug. 16 and 17. The storms brought major flooding and devastating winds to parts of Chicago, including Coleman's Ward 16, which encompasses parts of the Chicago Lawn, Englewood, Gage Park, New City, and West Englewood neighborhoods. Her escape from the dangerous storms sparked backlash online from her frustrated voters, who were left dealing with flooded homes and streets. 'If you are a 16th Ward resident, are experiencing severe flooding, and you can't get ahold of your alderman to get help, we found Stephanie Coleman for you,' the Chicago Centarian, a Chicago-based blog, commented on X. 'Coleman is in Nashville, TN, filming herself prancing around, indulging in a pathetic fantasy she is a runway model,' it added. 7 Coleman strutted through a hallway showing off her outfit before the Stellar Gospel Music Awards.

'Tiffany Henyard vibes,' another wrote, referencing the ousted mayor of Dolton. One angered resident shared a video of flood water rushing through their closed front door and down to the basement, blaming the disaster on the local politicians too busy with international policy to fix the 'failed infrastructure.' 'Failed self-serving system and infrastructure … Instead of debating international politics and individuals' personal preferences, local politicians should prioritize addressing municipal concerns, including persistent flooding and the ineffectiveness of the billion-dollar deep tunnel project … and crime … just maybe,' the exasperated X user posted. Coleman has represented the 16th Ward on the city council since 2019 and was elected as Chair of the Chicago Black Caucus in 2023. She is a member of the Democratic and Chicago Progressive Reform Party.

The area received another inch of rain on Aug. 18. The highest rain total came around the Chicago suburb of Joliet, which was flooded with over 6 inches of rainfall, with 70 mph wind gusts being measured in Algonquin, Ill., northwest of Chicago. In her return to Chicago, Coleman provided several links for her constituents to receive flood assistance. 'I know many of you are still recovering from the devastating floods flashes. Please know that my office and I are here to support you,' she wrote on Facebook. Coleman's staff also organized for emergency flood kits to be handed out of her office. In the announcement video, Coleman – wearing a white and blue maxi shirt dress and matching sunglasses – acknowledged that her ward had been 'devastated by the recent floods.'

The White House now has a TikTok account
The White House has joined TikTok, the social media app that President Trump wanted to ban during his first term. Its first post shows clips of Trump in various events with Kendrick Lamar's track playing in the background. The New York Times notes that it references a popular video edit of Creed, a boxing movie starring Michael B. Jordan, on the app. In the TikTok post, Trump could be heard saying "I am your voice," while the caption reads "America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?" Trump's administration believes TikTok helped him win over young voters in the 2024 Presidential election, with the account he used to campaign having over 15 million followers. "President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign, and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. The president wasn't always fond of the platform. He once vowed to ban the app in the US and signed an executive order to outlaw any transaction between the app and its China-based parent company ByteDance for national security reasons. TikTok's "data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans' personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage," the executive order read. After taking office earlier this year, however, Trump quickly put a pause on the law that was supposed to ban TikTok in the US. He even delayed the ban a couple more times to give ByteDance more time to sell its US business. Trump previously claimed that a "very wealthy" group is poised to buy TikTok, but the administration has yet to reveal the identities of the people in it.

ArtWorks Festival: Delay doesn't take away from the Paramount project's significance
Aug. 19—Grand opening pushed back to September Sometimes things just don't go according to plan and when construction is involved, any goals have to be made with a wink. Things come up and sometimes the best laid plans just don't go according to plan. That's been the case with the Paramount Theatre's expansion and renovation project. When the $4.3 million project was officially kicked off in December of 2024, the hope was that the theater might be ready for this year's Austin ArtWorks Festival on Aug. 23-24. It would have been the perfect opportunity to show off a project that will enhance both the audience and performer experience. But due to things outside of the control of Austin Area Arts and Joseph Company, showing off the work will have to wait. "We're going to save the thunder. We're going to wait," said Randy Kramer, who along with Belita Schindler, is a co-lead of the project committee. "The short answer I would say is the whole facility is going to be closed to the public during the festival." Rather than being open for the festival, the theater will instead be a staging area for festival volunteers. Still, not being able to finish the project wasn't a surprise as committee members also knew there was a chance of hiccups in the process. "We're working with a 100-year-old building," Schindler said with a laugh. Originally, Buckets N Boards Family Comedy Percussion Show was going to kick-off a slate of performances showcasing the expansion and renovation of the theater, but that has been postponed to February. Instead, organizers are celebrating the work that has been done and the money that has been raised. Fundraising wise, the goal is nearly completed at 90%, leaving around $90,000 yet to raise toward the $1.2 million goal. Prior to that, The Hormel Foundation had granted the project $3.67 million. "We're doing great," Kramer said. "It's ahead of schedule. We have feelers and we have conversations going on out there so we're highly confident we'll be hitting the goal within the next month or two or three." Even though there still remains some work, it's easy to make out the added details of the renovation and expansion just off of the west side of the Paramount. Inside the theater itself, the soundproofing material has been applied to the ceiling and its easily observable as to where the new sound system will be staged as well as the new stage surface that will be easier on performer's movements. Even though the theater will lose some seating, it's only because the new seats will be larger and ADA requirements are reserving spaces for those with physical disabilities. The work in totality will take the viewing experience to a whole new level. "It's something that the public is really going to get a kick out of," Schindler said. "It's going to be a great place to see a show." Currently, the grand opening of the new look is on Sept. 14 with the Texas Tenors, who is the third highest selling artist in the history of America's Got Talent. Prior to that there will be a donor reception. "If you just try and envision what that Sept. 14 show is going to be like, I suspect we're going to sell out," Kramer said. "The Texas Tenors are a pretty good group. I think it's going to be something." As for the work that has been done. Both Kramer and Schindler are nothing less than thrilled with what they've seen. "It's beyond our expectations," Kramer said. "We knew it was going to be great, but it's turning out to be greater than what we imagined." Solve the daily Crossword
