I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleaguesโ€™ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Trump: we have no inflation

Inflation has risen every month heโ€™s been in office

Trump: Prices are going down

Prices are going up for everything

Trump: The economy is booming

For oligarchs only. Small businesses are hurting. Layoffs piling up

Trump canโ€™t lie his way out of his mess this time.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of โ€œwhat if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.โ€ And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! โ€œThank Heaven for Little Girlsโ€ is very catchy.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that mightโ€™ve told you the federal government wasnโ€™t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: โ€œIs this really how youโ€™re going to move forward?โ€
