Q from Jake Sheridan today: Is an MLB All Star game coming to Chicago? Johnson: "Well, I certainly hope so. I do. Look, I think at some point Jesus the Christ is going to return and claim my soul for eternity. We just have to wait till that great gettin' up morning, won't we?"

NEWS: Mayor Brandon Johnson didn’t conduct formal national search for CTA head despite claiming otherwise. Really good fact check from Talia Soglin, and concerning: What is City Hall waiting for on this critical job? chicagotribune.com/2025/06/19/bra…

Alden and management have given no meaningful answers on what is happening or why. They've rejected every attempt to make a buyout better. The confusion they are creating hurts people. We deserve better, and our readers deserve better. We'll keep fighting for it.

nice write up from Tonia Hill, who followed the money:

Chicago is better when the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times are strong. Support the papers!

Yes, I retired today from ⁦Chicago Tribune⁩ I enjoyed my 27-plus years at the paper! The Trib team remains strong! Keep reading!
