The Triibe’s Corli Jay and the Sun-Times’ Mariah Rush are here to discuss the latest confusion as tens of thousands of Chicago area federal workers face uncertainty. Plus, we’re discussing how Black-owned bookstores are managing, Walgreens shuttering five South Side locations, and the future of Heartland Health Alliance.
