@ChicagoFire Writing from the Seat Geek parking lot: Can you share the process for the CF or MLS or whomever deciding how to proceed? What’s the range of possibilities? Is there a go/no-go cutoff time?
Emma Shafer was a friend. I wrote this after she was killed in 2023. Sharing it again to remind folks of what she stood for. In short, she was a friend + ally of immigrants and would've hated her death being exploited in a political stunt to demonize them.

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.
But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.
So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.
.@GovPritzker did not take questions from journalists, so no fresh comment from him on the recent ICE activity. But here's an excellent interview from last week on @21stShow with @BrianMackey https://t.co/Z4TGBjBe2W and Pritzker was on @CNNSOTU Sunday https://t.co/YqgqPcSGnl

For the first time, it seems like one of these could be reaching critical mass: https://t.co/PqvwBHlklp.
A short 🧵 …
Among the most important charts for thinking clearly about the 2024 election — and politics in general.
The hardest divide to cross isn't left vs. right. It's interested vs. uninterested. https://t.co/KCScv1bklF
Forty years ago this week, an insurance salesman's debut novel began appearing on shelves around DC.
That book was THE HUNT FOR THE RED OCTOBER. It launched Tom Clancy's publishing empire — with a nudge from The Post.
Come with us on this deep dive…

I'm sitting next to a Lincoln impersonator at the airport bar. He's watching MSNBC reporting on yesterday's assassination attempt. This is easily the most surreal thing I've ever witnessed.
A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.
