[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

[John McCormack @McCormackJohn]

What makes the silence and shrugs from GOP senators all the more disgraceful is that those cops were beaten in order to protect senators, congressmen, and the vice president—the ultimate targets of the mob—from violence.

NEW: Illinois Policy PAC's endorsements for Chicago school board just dropped. 🔥

The Chicago Teachers Union already runs City Hall.

Let's keep them far away from the school board.

These are the candidates who will stand up to Brandon Johnson and his allies in CTU. ⬇️

1. Last week I was invited to attend a guest series at UChicago’s Harris School of Public Policy. By then, I did not realize that the UC Chinese Students and Scholars Association(CSSA) protested the invitation and accuse me of “hurting” their feelings with all the disinformation.

Congratulations to @psullivan1, my aunt & godmother on her retirement today after nearly two decades @washingtonpost.

As a kid, Aunt Patty invited us into newsrooms & regaled us with countless stories - smokejumpers in the Rockies, Montana militias, politics & more.

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

What happened at the U.S. Capitol today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. https://t.co/NojKm86sZ2

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

If you don't impeach and remove a President for staging a coup, what's the point of impeachment.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Trump should be impeached and removed before the end of the day

I interviewed @wbenson about life as an early-stage investor. He told me what's most difficult about his job, and he gave great tips for founders aiming to raise capital https://t.co/VpRE9Y27dE

@petemartinnyc @BobCasey I didn't think you were scoffing - I'm sorry if that's how it sounded! Thanks for the new article. Definitely a New World problem.

[Patrick Casey @patrickwcasey]

@petemartinnyc @BobCasey Anyway, thanks for the article - more important point is that no one should scoff at the problem of persistent and concentrated violence.

[Patrick Casey @patrickwcasey]

@petemartinnyc @BobCasey Also, using exceptionally violent ‘90s as a baseline is self-serving. Especially given trauma care improvements, no excuse for current rates

[Patrick Casey @patrickwcasey]

@petemartinnyc @BobCasey I had the same reaction, thanks for the math. Disappointing lede to an otherwise great article on the importance of neighborhood-level rates

[Patrick Casey @patrickwcasey]

Outgoing U.S. Attorney Z. Fardon wrote a 5 page open letter outlining his excellent ideas to cut violence in Chicago https://t.co/yIkIPJ92aU

[Patrick Casey @patrickwcasey]

@BobCasey What's the source for this? I'd like to read it.

Flying cars within a decade? Uber says it's possible, but hurdles remain- regulation, batteries, emissions, noise...
