It’s that time of year again! We’re breaking down Gov. JB Pritzker’s 2024 Budget address on @WBEZ. Tune in now to hear the speech live and keep listening for analysis from @davemckinney.
Lou Lang’s days were numbered in the General Assembly late in 2018 — even if he didn’t know it. A Madigan ally planned to tell him it was time to quit. “Will you be wearing your big boy pants that day?” Madigan's ex-chief of staff asked. From @Suntimes: tinyurl.com/yttpferj
While we prepare for Day 2 of the trial of Michael Madigan's former chief of staff, here's a take on the case from @davemckinney of @WBEZ, who has covered Madigan World for years: tinyurl.com/f4yjmhbv
dave_mckinney on Threads. You got my blue check, Elon. We should be good. Ready to try something else for a while.
In convo with @davemckinney @WBEZ on the “magic” lobbyists who continue, unexamined and uninterrupted, to ply their trade in the halls of Springfield and Chicago post-ComEd Four. To paraphrase from a classic movie, “Forget it, Jake. It’s Illinois.” wbez.org/stories/madiga…
Governor Pritzker holds an empty cup and gives a thumbs up after catching and drinking a Jell-O shot with one hand today at the Chicago Pride Parade.
Thanks to @WBEZ for having me on to discuss the bribery trial of James Weiss. Chicago jury hands down guilty verdict in another political corruption trial: tinyurl.com/atjcw3bj
Businessman James T. Weiss, a son-in-law of former Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios, found guilty of bribing two members of the Illinois General Assembly and lying to the FBI. @Suntimes story: tinyurl.com/yeyt5cpv
“If this was a bribe, it would have been done with a big bag of cash.” Federal jurors will soon begin deliberating the case of businessman James T. Weiss, accused of bribing two Illinois lawmakers: tinyurl.com/2j7bt8bb
“He’s scared shitless,” said John Kelly, Trump’s ex chief of staff. “This is the way he compensates for that. He gives people the appearance he doesn’t care by doing this. For the first time in his life, it looks like he’s being held accountable.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…
ILGOP failed ‘22 nominee for governor Darren Bailey has a front row seat reserved to hear Donald Trump on the day of his arraignment, according to this picture taken at Bedminster. He’s tracking as close to Trump as he can ahead of an expected 2024 run vs. Mike Bost for Congress.

“I talked to Katherine over the phone,” businessman James Weiss told the FBI in 2019. But "Katherine" wasn't real. She'd been invented by FBI agents investigating a bribery scheme for which Weiss now faces trial. @Suntimes story on the latest: tinyurl.com/mrxb9y3s
When Arroyo was arrested in October 2019, @jmetr22b and I reported that Link was the senator who wore a wire against Arroyo. Link denied it, including to @WBEZ's @davemckinney: x.com/davemckinney/s…

Veteran Watergate journalist Bob Woodward reacts to the tape of Trump’s 2021 conversation about classified documents, telling CNN’s @wolfblitzer that Trump “does not understand the responsibility of the presidency.”
Worth watching this from @realBobWoodward, who details some of the backstory of the Trump-Milley-Iran matter that’s now part of the special counsel’s investigation.
Michael McDonald is a close Trump ally. The feds seized his cell phone previously and he served as a so-called fake elector in 2020.
BREAKING FROM PRETTYMAN: Nevada GOP Chairman spotted inside the DC courthouse where the Jan. 6 et al grand jury meets. “Not on my bucket list,” Michael McDonald joked when I asked him about appearing the same day as Trump’s court date. W/ @victoria_ebner and @natashakorecki.
17yrs ago today, she married me. 2nd time around for both of us. Been lots of ups & downs. I would never marry a crazy dreamer like me. But she did. And I’m damn glad, and damn fortunate, she did.
A thoughtful article in @Salon re-examines a crude story Abraham Lincoln shared in his autobiographical sketch written for the 1860 campaign. Did he admit to animal cruelty? Why did he share it? What does it tell us about him, his era, and us today? salon.com/2023/06/04/abr…

@dmihalopoulos @WBEZ @davemckinney It was an extraordinary piece. It brilliantly connected all the dirty little dots. Yet. Again.
Come on, folks! This is a statue honoring Gov Altgeld, who pardoned the Haymarket protesters! This has been a mess for years. Can we do better?

When I first was assigned to the Chicago City Hall beat in ‘04, I was younger than every council member and about the same age as the mayor’s son. After today’s inauguration, I’ll be older than 31 alderpersons and the mayor 👨🦳🤷🏻♂️
Ok, kids, some news, and of the good kind..as of the end of the day Friday 5/19, I will be retired. 43 years in radio, the last 17 or so at @WBBMNewsradio, with the chance to cover the Chicago sports teams I grew up loving. The whole thing an amazing ride.
