Trump administration loses lawsuit against man accused of plot to murder Greg Bovino | Trump administration | The Guardian

In a significant legal setback, Juan Espinoza Martinez, 37, was acquitted on Thursday of offering a $10,000 bounty for the murder of CBP chief Gregory Bovino. The Department of Justice's case against Martinez, who was accused of sending a Snapchat message offering the reward, collapsed as the jury found his actions to be mere neighborhood gossip rather than a serious threat. This verdict adds to a series of failed prosecutions related to the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration in the Chicago area.

Sh*t fountain, Chicago, IL

Came across this sculpture in Chicago, walking from Tortello Pacifico (great pasta, btw) to Black Dog Gelato for some dessert. I don’t think it came from that cat, though.

It's cold! I'm already dreaming about patio season with my dog Yoshi It's always hard to come up with ideas on the spot that are great for people and their pets, so I made a neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide for Chicago. I got pretty obsessed with the details and 26 hours

Exclusive | Rare Frank Lloyd Wright home in Chicago asks $350K | New York Post

A rare Frank Lloyd Wright home in Chicago, the J. J. Walser Jr. House, is on sale for $350,000. This six-bedroom, 3,235 square foot Prairie-style home, designed in 1903, is one of only five surviving Wright homes in the city and his only single-family design on the West Side. Despite its architectural significance, the home is in severe disrepair due to neglect, vandalism, and water damage. It was placed on Preservation Chicago's list of endangered architectural treasures in 2025. Urgent repairs were undertaken to stabilize the home before it was placed on the market.

The author clarifies a previous error regarding the Bears and Packers' postseason history, emphasizing their research and providing evidence to support their theory.
