This Pulitzer for the @BetterGov & @chicagotribune is wonderful recognition for powerful work. I am also thinking today of Shamaya Coleman, her children and the dozens of others victims in Chicago who died. The city still has not fully addressed the issues raised in our stories.

At Raja Krishnamoorthi’s election night party. In case you’re wondering, the senate candidate has spent more than $20 million on succeeding Dick Durbin but the campaign party is cash bar.

New: With a Cook County commissioner/congressional candidate sounding the alarm, a Skokie woman said she was detained for nearly 2 days inside CBP O’Hare & ICE detention. The Tribune has not been able to independently verify that she was ever in custody. chicagotribune.com/2026/03/11/oha…

Nobody has reported more about the Tyler Technologies/Cook County story than @ad_quig. Her latest detailing Tyler's accusations about Treasurer Maria Pappas' behavior and "verbal abuse." Pappas, AD reported recently, was also a Tyler shareholder until recently.

The head of a beleaguered Cook County technology contractor announced he was cutting off communication between his staff and Treasurer Maria Pappas, after what he described as months of verbal abuse and threats to ruin the company’s reputation. trib.al/MTrPTjf

I'll say this... I'm not surprised many people here on X are celebrating the termination of several great journalists at WGN. Most of those posts are from anonymous keyboard warriors, typing and replying feverishly with slop, it's impressive to be honest. But Chicago has prided itself in true *local* journalism. And Chicagoans have gone to their favorite channels for news for generations. Whether it be "Chicago's Very Own" or @ABC7Chicago or any other station here. And these terminations set a dangerous precedent. Those who don't live here will applaud the loss of these great people, many who are household names in this city. I just want to wish all those fine former employees well. I'm hopeful all of you find success again. Just know our newsroom sends love and support. We know it's a brutally tough day for those who remain at WGN and we are thinking of you too. Don't let the slop here on X bring us down. Let them scream into the void as you'll now see in the replies below this post. Local journalism is not dead but it's no doubt changing rapidly. We are not going anywhere anytime soon! 🇺🇸

@bbarth62 @realBlagojevich "I fucking busted my ass and pissed people off and gave your grandmother a free fucking ride on a bus...I gave your fucking baby a chance to have health care...And what do I get for that? Only 13% percent of you...think I'm doing a good job. So fuck all of you."--Rod Blagojevich
