Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson trying to stop it with a lawsuit filed yesterday morning in which they moved for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.
This after the Department of War's Sunday announcement calling up the Guard for at least 60 days in order to protect federal agents and property amid an immigration crackdown in the Windy City. Judge Perry declining to immediately stop the deployment and setting briefing on the motion for an injunction, giving the Department of Justice until tomorrow night to respond.
with oral arguments set for Thursday. But each side ramping up the legal rhetoric since invasion claims Pritzker, insurrection claims Mr. Trump. The Pritzker lawsuit arguing the Trump administration's justification for the deployment is, quote, based on a flimsy pretext.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the National Guard's deployment in Chicago?
Don't feel like ordering online? That's fine. Masa is now available nationwide at your local Sprouts supermarket. Stop by and pick up a bag before they're all gone. CBS News parent company Paramount on Monday announcing a $150 million deal to acquire independent news and opinion site The Free Press, founded by Barry Weiss, who is also stepping into the role of editor-in-chief of CBS News.
Weiss left her post as a columnist and editor at The New York Times in 2020, publishing a letter lambasting her colleagues and the institution itself. Quote, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper, that truth is not a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job it is to inform everyone else.
Weiss then founding the Free Press, growing it into a newsletter it says has more than 1.5 million subscribers with approximately 170,000 paying subscribers. On Monday, Weiss addressing the deal on her Honestly podcast, explaining why she is returning to legacy media after publicly swearing it off.
Chapter 4: How did the Trump administration's actions impact local politics in Chicago?
I was raised to be a believer in the institutions that built America and that made sense of it. Our universities, book publishers, movie studios, and yes, newspaper companies that forge public opinion for the entirety of my grandparents' and parents' lives. But what I found five years ago is that the most important public conversations were happening outside of those places.
So much has changed since then. As the gatekeepers of the mainstream have failed one after another, an explosion took place across the media landscape. incredible new voices came to the fore. Personalities and influencers have overtaken hundred-year-old journalism brands in only a few years. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that allows us to do just that.
It gives the free press a chance to help reshape a storied media organization, to help guide CBS News into a future that honors those great American values that underpin the free press and the best of American journalism. And in doing so, to bring our mission to millions of people.
Chairman and CEO of Paramount, David Ellison, releasing a statement, quote, this move is part of Paramount's bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects directly and passionately to audiences around the world. CBS News struggling in recent years with declining ratings and internal battles fueled by ideological infighting.
CBS Mornings consistently trailing behind its competitors on ABC and NBC as the show's programming, reportedly heavily influenced by self-declared astronaut Gayle King, leans into heavily progressive themes.
Earlier this year, Paramount agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit with President Trump over a 60 Minutes interview Mr. Trump says was deceptively edited to favor then-Vice President Harris in the lead-up to the 2024 election. But let's face it, that was the least of 60 Minutes and CBS News' bias problems.
Paramount also agreeing to install an ombudsman and committing to ensuring, quote, viewpoint diversity, non-discrimination, and enhanced localism in its coverage as part of its bid to gain approval for a multi-billion dollar merger with Skydance earlier this year. What they're going to do about being an absolute bore, we don't yet know.
Media reporter for The Guardian, Jeremy Barr, posting to X about internal reactions to Weiss's new position, quote, several CBS News employees I have spoken with said they are in wait-and-see mode. One was more blunt. A throwing-up emoji is not enough of a reflection of the feelings in here. Good luck to our pal Barry as she enters the snake pit that is corporate legacy media.
The Supreme Court on Monday bringing final closure to Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt to get her criminal conviction tossed, declining to hear her appeal. Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and confidant convicted in the Southern District of New York in 2021, sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for her role in sexually abusing minors with the disgraced financier.
