While Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act lets repeat criminals walk free, with nearly 20% of Chicago felony arrests now involving repeat offenders already on pretrial release, Illinois prisons are riddled with deadly drugs and violence. An approved vendor smuggled $500,000 worth of drugs hidden inside a children’s book into Robinson Correctional Center. One inmate died from fentanyl. Three guards were stabbed. Senator Chapin Rose just eviscerated the Pritzker administration in committee. A state audit exposed over 40 major failures at the Department of Corrections. This broken system endangers staff and inmates inside, while leaving Illinois families unsafe on our streets. The deadly incompetence ends now.

In 1960, more than half of 30-year-olds were both married and homeowners. Today, it’s roughly one in eight. The share of married young adults (25-34) collapsed from 59% in 1990 to 39% by 2021. The typical first-time homebuyer is now 38 years old, up from 33 in 2020. A spouse and a deed used to define the average 30-year-old. Now, they describe a shrinking minority.

Of all the data to follow as an investor, the 10-year bond yield is the most important. A 10 basis point move down today is massive, and a huge relief. It should provide more comfort and confidence to leg back into risk assets. Breaking the month-long march higher is crucial.

Preparation fire before ground operation The Iranian front observes a certain lull (if one can call it that). All attention focuses on preparations for a ground operation by the US Armed Forces. As of the end of the previous day, the amphibious assault group led by the USS Tripoli was located 900 km northwest of the Chagos Archipelago. While everything has devolved into mutual strikes, which have become routine (Americans together with Israel strike Iran, while Iranians respond with attacks on Persian Gulf countries and Israel), one can assess the efforts the Americans and Israelis invested in this operation. 🖍Since the start of the operation, coalition forces carried out over 2426 tactical aviation sorties. The count includes aircraft based specifically at airbases in the Middle East, that is, in Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. 🚩The peak of strike activity fell on the first days of the war. In the first decade of March, there were values up to 202 sorties in a single day. It was during those days that Iranian territory came under fire practically everywhere. 🏳️By March 10, intensity declined. This was compounded by enormous ammunition expenditures that needed replenishment, as well as the realization that the operation was dragging on, since the ultimate objective had not been achieved. ❗️By late March, the number of tactical aviation sorties began to increase again. This is connected with American preparations for the ground phase of the operation. It is no coincidence that the main strike areas in recent days are the south and southwest of Iran, that is, the regions of potential landing.

An estimated 400 teens are running amok downtown on State St. and Michigan Ave. It's an absolute mess. CPD contact tells us some teens have mace and tasers. Teens were tasing people. One teen has been hospitalized. Multiple arrests, multiple fights. Tact Teams sent downtown. A curfew was imposed at 10 p.m. This is probably just an "isolated incident," and we urge you not to demonize unruly teens.

Legend.
