Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social: A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.

8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.

And yet Trump is sending troops here.

New pope!

My expectations on the conclave - very possibly a littl-covered name like Arborelius, David, Goh, Maung Bo, or one with much less coverage than they should get like Pizzaballa, Grech, Ranjith. Of course, major names like Tagle and Turkson are still possible. Frontrunner Parolin seems very unlikely

A quick final addition and probability adjustments before the first smoke rises - a Filipino pope?:

Associations of contractors with organized crime was yet another element of what we warned about during the selection process. Every step of the way, known issues are coming up, showing Lightfoot’s incompetence

RFK Jr’s autism study collecting Americans’ private medical records The National Institutes of Health claims it is fulfilling RFK’s promise to find cause of autism by September

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse.

It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

The creative playbook behind Turkey's mass protests The arrest of Istanbul’s mayor has sparked a movement against Turkey’s authoritarian turn that is using satire to transform fear into hope.
