Did Jess Sims just shut down Theo Von live on national television?

"Do I get to see you again?"

"No, I hope not."

Today in Cars Ruin Everything:

The Humboldt Park boathouse parking lot was actually designed as a “music court” for outdoor performances, and was used as such until the Parks Department began reconfiguring park space to accommodate the automobile in the late 1920s and 30s.

Love when I go to get off an elevator and someone is standing 12 inches from the doors when they open.

Sorry, can I get out of the elevator please?

Parking in a bus stop is anti social behavior. Camera enforcement with $500 fine, watch the problem disappear.

Def. atty continues his argument, says "violent terrorist organizations" are trying to doxx agents.

This prompts open laughter in the courtroom.

"Well, I think we have a different idea of what's going on in Chicago," Ellis tells the def. atty, who is appearing remotely.

TONIGHT — Just after 8:30pm tonight, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker shared that the Texas National Guard is being deployed to Chicago.

“This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States.”

Noem agonized over the not-so-warm welcome ICE agents are receiving in Chicago… "Those men and women were telling us that they have to figure out even where they can go sit down for five minutes to have lunch or to use the restroom throughout their shift or their break.”

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

No, tensions are rising becuase ICE keeps shooting people and popping off tear gas in neighborhoods

The history teacher is going to be stuck on “why didn’t the Biden admin punish sedition and why was a seditionist even allowed to run for president again” for a long, long time…Americans stopped believing they had a functional government long before they started believing they had a fascist one

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

Federal agents shot and apparently wounded a person in Chicago today.

Linking to this article with the major caveat that DHS statements are typically false and self-serving, and tend to overstate the threats.

The only part of this story that is confirmed is that agents shot a civilian.
