I don't know if this is real or AI, but either way, we need many more of these plastered around towns everywhere.

We have noticed a recent uptick in false social media posts regarding Chicago, including misleading videos, old videos reposted as new, and unfounded rumors.

Everything feels urgent, but we ask people to take an extra minute to double check information and avoid sowing confusion.

Broadcasters told not to air any booing of Donald Trump at US Open menโ€™s final US Open broadcasters have been asked not to show any negative crowd reactions to Donald Trump at Sundayโ€™s menโ€™s final

The media needs to do its job, which is to report what's happening. The US Open folks be damned.

Did you know you can report โ€œIcy (ICE-y) road conditions on Waze?

Just a helpful hint if you see ICE around your area. We donโ€™t want anyone to slip on it.

If over 90, then born prior to 1935. That would make the youngest 30 years old at the movement's start--which comprised mainly teens and early 20 somethings.

Cliff Bentz outspent every House member on Trump inauguration Oregonโ€™s Rep. Cliff Bentz spent more on airfare, lodging, meals and rideshares than any other member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

As someone who lives in his district, I'd like to see a lot more transparency here. How about it, Cliff?
