Hamas has agreed to release the hostages in Gaza after accepting the first phase of Trump’s ceasefire plan. Reuters has the latest. National Guard troops have arrived in Illinois, against the wishes of the governor. The Chicago Sun-Times reports. John McCormick, national political reporter with the Wall Street Journal, discusses why the Trump administration attacks on renewable energy have zeroed in on wind turbines. Plus, authorities arrested a man they say is responsible for starting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, what alternative economic data is saying about the jobs market, and how the world of fancy ketchups and flavored mayos exploded. Today’s episode was hosted by Yasmeen Khan.

You might mistake a recent video released by the Department of Homeland Security for an action movie trailer. It shows Border Patrol agents in military fatigues entering an apartment building in South Shore and arresting people alleged to be connected to Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang. Reporting from WBEZ, the Chicago Sun-Times and other outlets confirm that U.S. citizens were detained for hours, some of them in handcuffs and zip ties. None of that was shown. In the Loop talks to Jim Warren with NewsGuard and security affairs expert Robert Pape of UChicago about whether or not the federal government's videos of immigration raids – such as the one in South Shore – amount to propaganda about Chicago crime and immigrants.

Ann Landers was thrilled. She'd just landed a job as the new syndicated advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Her new role gave Ann something to call her own. Then, just three months later, her twin sister Abby shared some news. She'd gotten a job as an advice columnist, too. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

The Trump administration is deploying federal troops into Chicago, claiming ongoing lawlessness. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker described the move as “outrageous and un-American.” Violet Miller, a reporter at the Chicago Sun-Times, explains what’s going on. A new Supreme Court term begins today, and justices are set to decide on cases with massive implications for Trump's authority over government. Maureen Groppe, Supreme Court reporter at USA Today, discusses them. The government shutdown continues with no signs of progress on talks. Lauren Weber at the Washington Post talks through some of the Medicare provisions that have become casualties of the deadlock. Plus, mediators are gathering after Hamas agreed in principle to parts of Trump’s peace deal, Japan is set for its first woman prime minister, and how sketches by Leonardo da Vinci led archaeologists to a big discovery. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Kate, Leah, and Melissa preview what fresh hell SCOTUS has in store for us this term, including challenges to the Fourteenth Amendment and the Court's continued obsession with fighting the culture wars. Then, after breaking down the latest legal news, the hosts welcome Lieutenant Governor of Illinois–and Senate candidate–Juliana Stratton to discuss Trump's plan to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, how state and local governments can push back against this administration, and what gives her hope in this fight. Finally, a game to commemorate Chief Justice Roberts' 20 long years on the Court.

I've been a Peter Orner fan for a long time, appreciating how—whether he's writing short stories, novels or essays—he makes every word count. Stories and chapters are short, sentences lean, zero fat. His justly acclaimed new novel, The Gossip Columnist's Daughter, springs from the apparent 1963 murder of Karyn “Cookie” Kupcinet, the real-life daughter of Chicago Sun-Times columnist and TV personality Irv “Kup” Kupcinet and his wife, Essie. The narrator is an author whose grandparents had been close to the Kupicinets, as Orner's grandparents were. The Chicago Tribune's Christopher Borelli calls The Gossip Columnist's Daughter “the most Chicago novel I've ever read.” What drove Orner to blur fiction with fact in this particular past? How much is he messing with us? Has anyone reacted about the real-life figures portrayed, not always complimentarily? In this lively conversation, Orner still makes every word count.

Chicago schools lose millions in federal grants. Protests gain steam outside the ICE detention facility in suburban Broadview.

For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.

Hosts Alex Kirshner, Ben Lindbergh, and Lindsay Gibbs discuss the beginning of the NFL season, and the Kansas City Chiefs' 0-2 record; their worst start since 2014 when they last missed the playoffs. Has their aging lineup started to catch up to them? Plus, the return of tush-push discourse. Next, the 38-year-old Sidney Crosby has played a whopping 20 seasons for the Penguins and is arguably the best player of his generation. But as the Penguins continue to flail, Crosby's management is signaling he may not be long for the team. What do teams owe to their oldest, most storied players, and is it the end of the one-team legend?  Then, Angel Reese publicly criticized her Chicago Sky teammates in the Chicago Sun Times, calling out weak recruiting and their reliance on injured players. Reese and the team have reconciled, but for how long? We also catch up on the WNBA playoffs: The Lynx may feel inevitable, but Lindsay argues there may be some meaningful challengers as the playoffs roll on.  In afterballs, the Tyreek Hill's domestic violence allegations are barely registering in conversations about his rumored trade to the Kansas City Chiefs. Lindsay looks back at the details of the claims against him, and why they're important to remember.  On the bonus episode available exclusively for Slate Plus members, the panel discusses Phillies Karen, the ball hawker who went viral after demanding the return of a ball from a child. After several false accusations and an ongoing campaign to unmask the ball-taker, have we taken bad ball park etiquette too far? .

In May 2013, Jose Reyes Ramos seemed to vanish without a trace. His family searched tirelessly, hanging flyers across Chicago and calling everyone they knew, but no one had seen him. What made his disappearance even more unsettling was a single, cryptic text Jose sent just before he went missing—one word that left his loved ones shaken and investigators puzzled. This is the tragic case of Jose Reyes Ramos.You can listen to our NEW episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all other streaming platforms.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains references to graphic violence.----En mayo de 2013, José Reyes Ramos pareció desaparecer sin dejar rastro.

Hablar de cine es fácil. Cuando son las temporadas de premios, levantas una piedra y salen veinte expertos que te dirán cuales cintas van a ganar y por qué, aunque ellos nunca le atinen en las quinielas de Cinépolis. Al mismo tiempo, cada vez es más raro encontrar una posición de crítico especializado pagada, teniendo los casos de l Chicago Sun-Times, el Chicago Tribune o incluso Vanity Fair quienes se han despedido de sus críticos sin abrir posiciones para esos puestos. En tiempos en que la gente le hace más caso a calificaciones de Tomates Podridos, y cualquier pregunta se las responde ChatGPT, ¿cuál es el lugar de la crítica y quienes tienen la credibilidad para que sus comentarios tengan peso en una audiencia cada vez más perdida y dividida? De eso y más hablaremos en esta entrega de The Dailies.Notas del episodio con una bibliografía mega extensa, solo en Patreon.Tú también puedes apoyar la creación de este y más programas y recibir crédito (para que aumentes currículum) y otros extras exclusivos en www.patreon.com/churrosypalomitas.Puedes suscribirte en YouTube para ayudarnos a producir más contenido de calidad, así como en apoyar este proyecto donando el dinero de Jeff Bezos y a ti no te cuesta nada! Instrucciones aquí.Esta entrega fue traída gracias a:Productora Ejecutiva: Blanca LópezCo-Productor: Dany SaadiaCo-Productor: Román RangelAgradecimiento especial a nuestros Patreons: Adriana Fernández, Agustín Galván, Cris Mendoza, Jaime Rosales, Juan Espíritu, Luiso Uribe, Óscar G.

Une loi votée en décembre 2024 autorise à nouveau l'exploitation, l'extraction et la transformation de métaux, revenant ainsi sur la loi de 2017 qui l'interdisait. La lutte de plus de dix ans des défenseurs de l'environnement a été balayée par Nayib Bukele et sa majorité au Parlement. Dans les zones qui pourraient être concernées par cette industrie, l'inquiétude grandit. Les populations locales ont notamment peur que cette industrie les prive d'eau potable et pollue les nappes phréatiques, comme cela a déjà été le cas par le passé. Alice Campaignolle s'est rendue dans le département de Cabañas, au Salvador. En Haïti, les conditions de détention dans certaines prisons sont alarmantes Malnutrition, manque d'eau potable, absence d'heures de pause... Les conditions de vie dans les centres pénitentiaires haïtiens sont déplorables, notamment dans la prison civile de Jacmel, dans le sud-est. À la fin du mois de juillet, près de 14 détenus y sont décédés. L'Institut mobile d'éducation démocratique a récemment publié un rapport accablant sur les prisons en Haïti, incluant celle de Jacmel. Un dossier signé Peterson Luxama, correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince. Les forces de l'ordre haïtiennes sont accusées de l'assassinat de deux femmes Dans une tribune écrite par Michel Legros et publiée par Alterpresse, la PNH, la Police national d'Haïti, est accusée d'avoir intercepté, battu et assassiné Morelda et Modeline Louis. Les faits se sont déroulés le 22 août entre la route de l'aéroport et le Carrefour Gérald Bataille. Alors qu'elles allaient chercher leurs enfants, les deux femmes ont été interpellées et contrôlées par une patrouille d'hommes armés, comme cela est désormais courant en Haïti. Le journaliste précise qu'« un drone aurait observé cette scène et alerté un char blindé ». Soupçonnées de connivence avec ces gangs, Morelda et Modeline auraient été interpellées à leur arrivée sur l'autoroute, « battues, torturées, puis livrées à une Toyota de la PNH, non immatriculée, qui les a emmenées pour les exécuter. Disons le mot : pour les assassiner », juge Michel Gros, pour qui « ce drame illustre la terreur et l'impunité dans certaines zones, frappées par la violence des bandits et la cruauté de certains policiers ».  Aux États-Unis, Chicago et Baltimore se lancent dans une guerre ouverte contre Donald Trump Après Washington DC, les deux villes démocrates s'opposent fermement à l'envoi de troupes de la garde nationale sur leur sol, comme annoncé par le président américain.  Ce week-end, le Washington Post a révélé que le Pentagone planifiait depuis des semaines un déploiement militaire à Chicago, et ce, dès le mois de septembre, au nom de la lutte contre la criminalité, l'immigration et le sans-abrisme. Le quotidien rapporte les propos du président américain : « Chicago est un vrai désastre. Vous avez un maire incompétent. » La réaction du maire de la troisième ville la plus peuplée des États-Unis ne s'est pas fait attendre. Cité par le Chicago Sun Times, Brandon Johnson a déclaré qu'il évaluait « toutes les options juridiques possibles pour protéger les habitants de Chicago d'une intervention fédérale inconstitutionnelle ». Pour le procureur général de l'Illinois, Kwame Raoul, la menace de Trump est « hypocrite et performative », surtout au vu des récentes baisses de budgets pour lutter contre la violence. Le Washington Post constate les mêmes tensions entre Trump et le gouverneur du Maryland Le président américain a déclaré son réseau Truth Social que Baltimore était « hors de contrôle » et « ravagée par la criminalité ». Le gouverneur Wes Moore lui a rétorqué dimanche, sur CBS News, qu'il n'autoriserait pas l'intervention de la Garde nationale, une intervention qualifiée ici aussi d'« inconstitutionnelle ». À lire aussiDonald Trump arme la Garde nationale à Washington et menace Baltimore et Chicago Le Canada envisage aussi de déployer des troupes, mais en Ukraine En visite surprise à Kiev ce dimanche, le premier ministre canadien Mark Carney a réaffirmé le soutien « indéfectible d'Ottawa » aux Ukrainiens. « Le Canada se tiendra toujours aux côtés de l'Ukraine. » Voici les paroles de Mark Carney, rapportées dans les colonnes de La Presse. Le Premier ministre canadien s'exprimait lors d'une cérémonie sur la place Sophia à Kiev pour la fête de l'Indépendance ukrainienne. La Presse décrit une rencontre avec Volodymyr Zelensky dans « une atmosphère solennelle ». Dans son discours, le Premier ministre canadien a déclaré ne pas exclure l'envoi de troupes canadiennes « pour garantir la sécurité de l'Ukraine contre l'agression russe en cas d'accord de paix », rajoutant que « Vladimir Poutine ne peut jamais être digne de confiance ». Le Globe and Mail revient sur les détails des 2 milliards de dollars promis lors du sommet du G7 en Alberta, en juin. Cet argent va financer l'achat et la fabrication de drones, munitions et véhicules blindés, mais aussi l'aide médicale d'urgence, l'hébergement et la lutte contre les attaques numériques.  SpaceX a dû annuler in extremis un vol test de sa méga fusée Starship dimanche soir  Ce serait dû à un problème avec les systèmes au sol, c'est ce qu'a annoncé SpaceX sur X. « Il faudra donc patienter encore un peu avant de voir le 10e vol d'essai de la méga fusée Starship », résume Space.com. « Starship est la fusée la plus grande et la plus puissante jamais construite », détaille le média spécialisé. Elle mesure plus de 122 mètres de haut une fois complètement chargée. C'est la « pièce maîtresse de la vision d'Elon Musk pour envoyer les premiers humains sur Mars, dès 2026, selon USA Today. Elle est également essentielle aux plans de la NASA visant à renvoyer des astronautes sur la lune », dès 2027. Une date « irréaliste, voire impossible à respecter », considère CBS News, surtout après les « trois échecs » de cette année, qualifiés de « catastrophiques » par la chaîne de télévision américaine. SpaceX a annoncé qu'une nouvelle fenêtre de lancement s'ouvrirait ce lundi soir à 19h30 heure locale.

But they may be best known for the long-running podcast Sound Opinions which celebrated its 1,000th episode in 2025. We loved getting the chance to talk shop with Jim & Greg about what it has been like to cover music for so long, how things have evolved over the years and what they like (and dislike) about Chicago.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 13, 2025 is: calculus • KAL-kyuh-lus • noun Calculus refers to an advanced branch of mathematics that deals mostly with rates of change and with finding lengths, areas, and volumes. The word can also be used more broadly for the act of calculating—that is, estimating something by using practical judgment, or solving or probing the meaning of something. // By my calculus the more efficient air conditioner will have paid for itself within a span of five years. See the entry > Examples: “[Manager, Craig] Counsell said that all options are being considered, and the Cubs will wait to make a decision until they have to, as events between now and [Shota] Imanaga's official return to the active roster could change the calculus.” — Vinnie Duber, The Chicago Sun-Times, 21 June 2025 Did you know? Solving calculus equations on a chalkboard allows one to erase mistakes, and also hints at the word's rocky, and possibly chalky, past. Calculus entered English in the 17th century from Latin, in which it referred to a pebble, often one used specifically for adding and subtracting on a counting board. The word thus became associated with computation; the phrase ponere calculos, literally, “to place pebbles,” meant “to carry out a computation.” The Latin calculus, in turn, is thought to perhaps come from the noun calx, meaning “lime” or “limestone,” which is also the ancestor of the English word chalk. Today, in addition to referring to an advanced branch of mathematics, calculus can also be used generally for the act of solving or figuring something out, and as a medical term for the tartar that forms on teeth, among other things. Whichever way it's used, we think that calculus rocks.

This week, we kick things off with the return of Space Karen's meltdown tour: Elon Musk got flustered in an interview, sputtered out one-word answers, and called the journalist an “NPC,” which is rich coming from the guy whose only real upgrade since PayPal is yelling “freedom” in meme fonts. Meanwhile, 23andMe sold your DNA to Regeneron at a bankruptcy auction, proving once and for all that your spit is more valuable than most tech startups.IN THE NEWS is a parade of corporate idiocy and dystopian fuckery. Coinbase employees got bribed into leaking user data (because clearly we didn't have enough crypto chaos), Klarna keeps flip-flopping between AI and human workers like it's a bad Tinder date, and OpenAI is out here buying Jony Ive's design firm for $6.5 billion because sure, what's another billion when you're trying to build a surveillance device to stalk 100 million users? Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun-Times is publishing AI-generated trash with imaginary authors, Anthropic's new model attempts blackmail, and researchers dumped two billion Discord messages online just for kicks. And yes, Elon's Tesla robotaxis will now only roam the safest parts of Austin, which is code for “we still can't make this thing turn left.”In MEDIA CANDY, we're watching Murderbot, Godfather of Harlem, and Hotel Cocaine because who doesn't love a little synthetic assassin, crime drama, and coke-fueled nostalgia? Notepad.exe now writes for you (and probably files HR complaints too), and Audible is teaming up with publishers to replace narrators with robot voices. Yay, progress. Over in THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, Bittner brings the malware, monsters, and a new theme park review that's somehow less terrifying than the news.
