Going on WTTW’s Chicago Tonight soon to discuss our investigation of fires at an Illinois prison. I’m a fan of the show and happy for the chance to share this information. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/07/24/p...

"In Streeterville, a predominantly white neighborhood, CPD reported 19 stops per year per 1,000 residents. By contrast, in Auburn Gresham, a neighborhood that is 96% Black or Latino, CPD reported 193 traffic stops per 1,000 residents."

The Chicago Board of Education is expected to vote on a revised $10 billion budget proposal Thursday. CPS CEO Macquline King joined “Chicago Tonight” to discuss her revised budget and why she thinks board members should pass it. https://to.wttw.com/3TN2pCG

NEW: A federal judge expanded the lawsuit accusing Chicago police of targeting Black and Latino drivers with a massive campaign of traffic stops to include all Black and Latino drivers who have been pulled over in the past five years — or could be in the future, court records show. @wttw.bsky.social

Chicago has a rat problem and it isn’t likely to improve if the city doesn’t come up with a new playbook, according to a just-released analysis by the city’s watchdog. https://to.wttw.com/4x4I5es

I invite to you to read the story, because that is not how I used that word. The story makes that clear. Be well!

“By administratively closing hundreds of cases COPA may have alleviated its own burden, but it also created a vacuum of accountability within the police oversight system it is mandated to uphold.”

After calling the first proposal “dead on arrival,” Chicago Teachers Union president Stacy Davis Gates on Tuesday acknowledged progress, but still said the amendments come up short. https://to.wttw.com/4pKuwP1

“For Black Chicago in particular, it kind of felt a way that government was able to turn on resources in a moment’s notice that our communities have been starved for decades. And I tried desperately to live in my values, even though it cost me politically. It did. It did cost me.” @wttw.bsky.social

I understand you think my response to you was an invitation to have a conversation. You are mistaken.

BREAKING: Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Wednesday designed to ban purchases of guns and ammunition from firms that flout federal law and do not take steps to prevent weapons trafficking. @wttw.bsky.social

This story has nothing to do with CPD -- it is about the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. I should have blocked you for these repeated, identical posts -- do it again and I won't hesitate.

NEW: The leaders of the agency tasked with investigating misconduct by Chicago police officers created “a vacuum of accountability” by failing to follow its own rules while trying to clear a massive backlog of complaints, according to an analysis by the city’s watchdog. @wttw.bsky.social

What a loss. He was wonderful opening for Pearl Jam at Wrigley Field in 2024.

Inspector General David Glockner determined city officials “accurately and transparently” reported what it spent in city funds to feed, house and care for 46,282 people who arrived in Chicago, between August 2022 and December 2024, a new report finds. https://to.wttw.com/4wrLx2K
