Even after acknowledging that some arrests violated the Castañon Nava consent decree, the Trump admin has deported people before attorneys could intervene. @chicagotribune @LAURA_N_ROD @royalpratt tell the stories of two men caught in this system: chicagotribune.com/2026/03/09/chi…

By some distance, the most entertaining story of the week. The Voting Rights Act is dangling over a cliff, and the CBC is angry that Pritzker spent $5m to nominate a black female candidate they’re not close personal friends with.

POLITICO@politico

Pritzker helped a Black woman become senator. Some Black leaders are still mad at him. dlvr.it/TRZd1c

It marks its 40th anniversary, and as Brian Hieggelke writes, “(This is) the biggest edition we’ve ever published at 180 pages, and includes 66 pages dedicated to exploring the art scene we know best, right here in Chicago.” trib.al/8K6JMDc

Great read and listen from @guardian @MelissaDSegura about the wrongful imprisonment of a man for an off duty cop’s murder. Just listened to episode one of the Off Duty podcast and highly recommend the series along with reading the story theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Hoan Huynh’s victory over Eileen Dordek, who was seemingly endorsed by everybody, was a remarkable grassroots victory just a couple years ago. He is now going to leave public office after an ill-fated congressional run where he got 2 percent of the vote. Dang.

A lesson in politics: It turns out your coworker might not like you if you celebrate them getting assaulted.

Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin badly losing her congressional race despite getting $5 million in outside support makes you wonder about her political future. Will anyone look at her loss and her ethics scandals and seek to unseat her next year?

Dan Proft may not know how to win elections. But he does know how to get paid $25,000 a month by Ted Dabrowski’s campaign while helping him get less than 30 percent of the vote.

One big lesson from Illinois that campaign folks need to learn again and again: Money is important but it isn’t everything. Not even close.

One parallel is Bridget Degnen defeating Fritchey although it feels like Warren was far more grassroots and longshot

For at least 5 years @SenMullin has told stories that most laymen would assume meant he served in foreign battle: “… been in those situations before overseas … another side of my bio.” He never served. Amazing work by @lizcgoodwin @marianne_levine washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…

Krishnamoorthi thanked supporters “who had the courage to defy the party establishment and endorse the candidate with 29 letters in his name” and donors who enabled him to “compete against very wealthy interests." "wealthy interests" = JB Pritzker

.@RajaForIL: "A short while ago, I called Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton to congratulate her on winning the primary, and I offered her full my full support on the road ahead. Obviously, this is not the result we sought, but unlike Donald Trump, I'm not going to question the outcome."

I remember talking to Carlos Ramirez-Rosa long ago about his ward, the progressive NW side and higher information voters. He said they know when they’re being lied to and don’t like it. Simple but it stuck with me as a pretty basic lesson that some campaigns don’t learn

Jaime Andrade, who ran flagrantly untrue ads accusing his opponent Miguel Alvelo-Rivera of supporting ICE, is down big in his reelection bid. Andrade is one of the last vestiges of the Mell political machine
