Maybe winning the World Series would end the era that started with their previous World Series.

Oof 😣 Birdie needed to go to rehab. ❤️‍🩹 Roughly half of birds that fly away after a window bonk die soon after. Rehab treatment can save many of them.

This Nashville warbler was sitting on a sidewalk in Uptown. As I phoned Chicago Bird Collision Monitors to get help, someone else picked up the bird in her hand … and a minute later, it flew off.

Hello, beautiful

Color photo taken at night. Several buildings are only partially captured, but the Carbide and Carbon, the Art Deco-est of skyscrapers, rises to its full height in the center of the image.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

A very weird detail in this WSJ story about Trump’s weaponization of DOJ and FBI:

“Trump occasionally reminds aides about an incident last year in which Trump cut his hand on Bondi’s large wedding ring, causing him to bleed.”
