Think I’m going to paint this. Caught photo yesterday when it was snowy & everyone was scurrying to “The Nutcracker” matinee. My corner of historic district is down the street from the Schwartz Theater which is a small venue for local productions. Sold painting last week that I captured in rain.

In joining together with our Jewish community to light the menorah tonight, Illinoisans once again have reaffirmed that the light outshines darkness.

This is from the prosecutors opening statement in the judge Dugan trial, but under cross, the investigating agent just admitted they have no idea what “business as usual” looks like in the Milwaukee courthouse. Not going well for the government here.
Judge Dugan's clerk informed her that ICE was in the hallway.
"Then it was no longer business as usual. Then it was no longer a routine day," the prosecutor says.
