Since reporters noticed ⁦@GovPritzker⁩ reported $1.4M in gambling winnings on his income tax filing - so many questions. Today his spokesman says the Las Vegas blackjack winnings will be donated.

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Interesting moment here: @GovPritzker said that after a right-wing social media influencer filmed outside his home after Charlie Kirk’s assassination last month, he asked HGOP Leader Tony McCombie + SGOP Leader John Curran to publicly denounce the incident. He said they refused.

Both Newsom and Trump are calling for widespread homeless encampment sweeps and deploying law enforcement to local communities to crack down on crime, though neither man acknowledges the similarities, @SophiaBollag writes sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Maybe one thing AI could do better than humans is do urban planning in Springfield, Ill.

Ted Dabrowski's campaign uses a super cool photo behind Ted in a lot of their stuff (first photo). I've felt like an idiot because I could not figure out where that is. I know it's not the Illinois state capitol, even though the campaign seems to think it is based on what they named the file (second photo). I searched everywhere to find an actual building and campus that look like that. Nothing. Finally, I stumbled on an Abode Stock image titled "Springfield skyline at sunset" that matches. Turns out it was generated by AI (third photo). Whoops.

@ChrisCinciBiz My kids did it for months and learned almost nothing. They were more worried about streaks and league standings than language. I found Pimsleur to be quite good, if a bit tedious. You just need lots of reps to learn a language.
