## Resource

Chicago’s violent weekend left 38 injured and 7 dead, sparking renewed calls for federal action—with Trump claiming he could restore safety in a year. Despite Illinois’ silence on his remarks, past deployments of National Guard troops under Democratic leadership raise questions. While overall violent crime has dipped nationally and locally, Friday’s Juneteenth mass shooting—where 12 were struck by an SUV—shattered community joy. Mayor Johnson condemned the violence as unacceptable and vowed justice, as police probe the surge of attacks. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
