Last month, they already added reinforcement fences around the Dirksen Courthouse in the background of that picture. Needless so far.

Literal LOL at "like hoping shit will fix the diaper." Wow, well done.

Chicago Marathon is this coming Sunday!

Please, you should deploy the Guard first...to Cairo.

Could Pritzker preempt this and deploy the Illinois National Guard to, like, Cairo, IL?

Your user name has never been more apropos

Bowel-shaking earthquakes!

Hi from Minneapolis, where my trip coincided with a closure of their train line between the airport and downtown. What a bust.

We don't need to share everything we write. But we absolutely have to write it.

Yes, every year

Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago: Dirksen Courthouse has new high steel fencing on all sides. No changes to Kluczynski building, post office or open area across Dearborn. Detainees headed here?

I'm sure you've heard the story of the Superman writer helping take down the Klan. Let this be your Superman moment.

Great points, and you didn't even hit on my favorite thing Pritzker has said recently. Imagine being a military leader and hearing a man with unlimited resources promise he will never stop hunting you down. bsky.app/profile/syke...

Chicago has a gun crime problem, and most guns come from other states. Drugs, too. One corner of Chicago borders Indiana.

The tool kit: 8 meetings per year to set the interbank overnight interest rate; the modal outcome is no change. In a crisis, they can buy bonds. Oh, and they give speeches.

Came here to say this. Also, a line? Domino's is not great but always fast. A lazy joke all around.

Thanks for following this closely. Those aren't huge numbers. CPD has about 12,000 officers. 300 more can do some damage but that's not exactly an invading army. I wonder if they're facing burnout and resignations.

Big opportunity for Tammy Duckworth. She appeared at one of Pritzker's pressers, hope we see more of her.

NW had good weekend service, this is the other lines catching up. (I said good, not great!)

I won't miss those UPN weekend expresses with weird stopping patterns, like skipping Clybourn. Shame they gave up on the experiment of short turns at Winnetka.

She's running in the Dem primary to take over from a retiring incumbent Dem. The party isn't working, and this is how it changes.

ODB: water taxi?

Biffed "Bud Light" too

I became a fan 20 years ago when I did the Miller brewery tour. They shared a sample at the end. It's so much better than Miller Lite! And cheap!

That's Miller Lite

They're great, but they're British.
