Yes, that means that the party most wont to cry federal overreach is now seeking to directly intervene in state...
Mayor Brandon Johnson – that’s a whole lotta nuthin’ in three words. If ever there was a less deserving, more unqualified, more ethically challenged, and intellectually and emotionally unprepared for being a dogcatcher, less mind mayor of Chicago than this pathetic excuse of a teachers’ union tool, I’ve never seen it. The one thing he...

The partnership between Hill and Ahmed, not out overnight on 29 and 26 respectively, was all the more admirable for the bowler-friendly conditions at the start of play after overnight rain and with heavy cloud cover.

Surely, I thought, this is a holdover from last night. But no. At the time, it said the Xweet...
