City Hall identified stores whose weapons regularly were used in crimes. ATF has been lenient with those stores for violations such as selling to straw buyers, transferring guns without background...

This is absolutely not true and I have no idea why Amy is claiming it is. She has not spoken to my sources. At the watch job, a person who was vaccinated even said the other folks getting vaccinated appeared to be ineligible, white and privileged.

So what? Those vaccinated at the Trump Tower, the watch store, the steak house mostly live on the South and West sides. Think about it: @CTULocal1 teachers got vaccinated even earlier then them and most STILL are not back at work! These ppl r interacting w customers!

Loretto says this event did not happen. I spoke to a source who was vaccinated at the event. She showed me a photo of her getting her shot inside Geneva Seal. Metadata matches date of vax event. Also showed me her vax card — with Loretto as provider.

I did an interview for a podcast and recorded my audio as backup so I could send it to the producer afterward. I thought I'd done that. Until the producer informed me I'd sent her a video of my nephew eating a sloppy Joe without using his hands.

This, from Mayor Lightfoot, is untrue. Brown explicitly said police will "clear the corner"—where young people are manipulated into working—& asked courts to "keep them in jail." @ChipMitchell1 did a good story. If the mayor doesn't like what Brown said, take it up with Brown.

I've talked about this, but my great-grandmother died from a self-induced abortion when they were illegal. After the abortion, she became extremely sick but was too afraid to seek help. Her doctor said she could have lived if she'd gotten care. From her inquest:

Everyone should read the watchdog report on how Chicago officials and police botched their response to protests over the killing of George Floyd. They had no plan, beat protesters, escalated conflicts, ignored people having emergencies & more, per report:

Chicago Police Failed On Every Level When Responding To Protests, Unrest Over George Floyd Slaying,...

The investigation found the Police Department's response was "marked, almost without exception, by confusion and lack of coordination."

These 6,000 doses per day will come from the feds — they will *NOT* be taken from the supply given to Illinois/Chicago. That will create a huge bump in vaccinations for the Chicago area.

• Though folks often say Chicago has the strictest gun laws, experts have said Chicago's laws are actually similar to those of other big cities. It's hard to compare laws between cities, but NY and LA actually have some restrictions that are tougher than Chicago's.
