Trump erects a white-people-only sign on the USA. Ben riffs. Antonio Correa answers your MAGA questions. Why Latinos voted for Trump? What do they say about that now? Where is the don’t-treat-on-me-crowd when we need them? Do they really mean tread on them not me? What would he do if ICE came after him? Finally, how did he find his ocean waves? Antonio is a former Marine and a senior digital strategist for Heartland Signal. His views are his own.

Ben and Dr D confront a week’s worth of lunacy. Starting with…reporters giving grief to Mayor Johnson for spending property tax dollars on schools. Silly mayor, don’t you know that TIF money—which are property tax dollars— are for rich guys? Updates on the ICE invasion. Will any of the mayoral wannabes criticize Trump? Or will they pretend he doesn’t exist? And Governor Pritzker wins $1.4 million at a Vegas blackjack table. Proving, among other things, that life isn’t fair. Also, a shout out to Chickenman. He’s everywhere, he’s everywhere!

ICE invades the Southeast Side. Ben riffs. Jen Sabella on the state of journalism in the age of Trump’s invasion of Chicago. Reporters tear gassed or shot with pellets. Officials deny what you see with your own eyes. FOIA requests ignored. Basic info withheld. In short, the Trumpers make past Chicago’s mayors—even Daley annd Rahm—look like paragons of transparency. America’s not free, if its press is shackled. Even metaphorically speaking. Jen is cofounder and executive editor of Block Club.
