Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

The Chicago River Swim is on for September after the city approved permits. Last year, they denied them. My story for @Axios: axios.com/local/chicago/2025…

Breaking: Organizers say the city of Chicago has approved the final permit for the first open-water swim in the Chicago River in a century after a snag last year. It's possible largely due to tireless work to clean up and restore the river in recent decades. More TK

For the first time in nearly 100 years, the Chicago River will host a sanctioned open water swim. The 2025 Chicago River Swim was announced Thursday, and this time organizers made sure to obtain the necessary city approvals first. to.wttw.com/4fv1cGX

Today, @NorthwesternU declared itself a safe space for Antisemitism. We are appalled by Northwestern's decision to turn its back on Jewish and Israeli students who have been targets of hateful harassment and intimidation. This decision rewards the pro-terror, anti-Israel, and anti-America aggressors on campus. This appeasement agreement is a dark day in Northwestern history.

For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa." Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole. Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security. There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians. Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.” This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety. What will the response be? thefp.com/p/they-were-assaul…
