Chicago's inspector general, Deborah Witzburg has repeatedly warned officials over the last four years that they must work to pay down the city's "deficit of legitimacy." But she says she will leave office after just one term with much of that debt unpaid. to.wttw.com/4tkIVSZ

It’s campaign season so we’ll be seeing a lot of Joe Ferguson in Sun-Times columns. It’s anyone’s bet on when Victor Reyes makes his way back into the dial-a-quote rotation

Not sure how great I'd feel if my doctor came in dressed up as Jesus with light beaming from his hands but I'm pretty sure I'd ask for a second opinion!
What an amazingly weak cover story for a grossly offensive--and revealing--post--tellingly deleted after a deluge of criticism.

President Trump claims the viral image that was posted on Truth was not a depiction of him as Jesus Christ but was him being depicted as a doctor. Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with the Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support.

@byaliceyin asking Mayor Brandon Johnson a question about the woman detained by ICE at Ohare for 30 hours. The Mayor refuses to answer because it’s not an on-topic question. I’m sorry but public officials don’t get to dictate what types of questions the press ask them.
