Show Notes

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said he would welcome more help from the feds to tackle crime in Chicago, but not from the National Guard. Some Illinois veterans are sounding the alarm against President Donald Trump’s threats to send the National Guard to Chicago. More than 10,000 people are expected to cycle down a car-free DuSable Lake Shore Drive in Chicago on Sunday morning. Plus, city officials held a briefing to share what they know – and, mostly, what they don't – about President Trump’s threat to send the National Guard to Chicago.
