When I named editor of Chicagoist a lifetime or two ago, if my first words to the staff were "let's do the fucking news," they would all have had the right to resign en masse.

Gave myself a day to decompress from (waves arms around like a wacky inflatable man) and Gott in Himmel, the Bari Weiss era of CBS News is already off to a rollicking start.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

He could be talking about crime or that Jackson Park is the only 18-hole Park District golf course. Either way, he should keep the city's name out of his mouth.

I can’t wait for the NYT article where a reporter drives to a Midwestern diner to ask people if They unknowingly have health insurance.

Dr Oz: "Some of the reasons that premiums are going up is because if you take people who didn't know they had insurance and therefore never put in any claims off the rolls, then you still have people who are charging enough to make up the difference. But I do think there are criminal elements."

ICE agents making bogus 911 calls to keep Broadview police chasing their tails? At least the Broadview police chief recognizes that ICE is not an ally of law enforcement. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Guess the bathroom and breakroom conditions at their facilities must be lacking for some reason. Also, the Third Amendment is going to become very important, sooner than we think.

Something that was a bit surprising to me this time around:

I tested the favorables of Vance, Trump, Gavin Newsom and AOC in our latest survey.

Newsom: 36/40 (-4)
AOC: 36/41 (-5)
Vance: 39/51 (-12)
Trump: 42/57 (-15)

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

ICE *is* waging war in the Chicago area and other cities. Which is why, if Pritzker was given a mandate of "mobilize the National Guard or I will" by Trump, he *should* have called Trump's bluff and mobilized the Guard to protect residents from ICE.

If not now, when?

TBF, he is approaching 80. Maybe he’s confusing the Vietnam War with his “personal Vietnam” of not catching any STDs during the 1990s.

The man who received five deferments from serving in the Vietnam War has some thoughts about how that war should have been waged.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

The Armed Forces is a reflection of the nation. It is, *by design,* a social experiment, second in size to the nation itself. I don’t expect Kegsbreath to understand that.

And yet there are still some CPD rank and file who believe they are in solidarity with ICE's Temu police officers.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
