We are two years in and halfway through Mayor Brandon Johnson’s first term. Blockclub Chicago investigative reporter Rachel Hinton joins us to discuss the administration's highlights, major pain points, and immediate agenda. Plus, Tribune sportswriter Julia Poe is in the building to talk about all things Chicago Sky, including offseason moves, playoff hopes, and how the league's forthcoming CBA negotiations will impact the team long term. Plus, what’s next for unhoused residents in Gompers Park, how are tariffs impacting Chicago’s international grocers, and how are you enjoying this 80 degree weather?
