Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Tuesday embraced the idea of licensing police officers as she strives to appease those clamoring for reform after George Floyd’s death, but without defunding the Chicago Police Department.Five years ago, then-state Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, tried to push a police reform package through the Illinois General Assembly that included licensing for police officers after the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.Last week, Raoul, now Illinois attorney general, took himself to task on WBEZ-FM (91.5) for backing off that effort amid opposition from law enforcement.

Though he said the film will treat the character with dignity, Lee’s rhetoric about such people was less dignified.“In the movie you include a black Trump supporter complete with a Make America Great Again hat on. Now knowing how vocal you’ve been against the President I think many people were surprised

In the past, Chuck Todd has railed against hyperbole, misinformation and GOP “alternative facts.” But on Sunday, he seemed quite enamored with the apocalyptic sentiment that America “will not survive” a Donald Trump reelection. NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson appeared on the YouTube-only portion of Meet the Press. He warned, “This nation, not only African-American community, we will not survive if there is a continuation of this administration.”Rather than commit the act of journalism and challenge his guest Todd marveled, “Strong words, President Johnson. Those are very strong words. ‘We will not survive if there’s another term.’” When the segment ended, Todd offered kudos for the end-of-America sentiment:
