Dr. Charlton McIlwain and I are co-editing a new book series with De Gruyter Social Sciences ➡️ Facebook: "Race, Ethnicity, and Political Communication." More information about the series, including details about the first two volumes can be found here: degruyter.com/serial/dgsre-b…

Opening Day and Bednar is already ruining my mood. 😡

I just want to point out here the degree to which I was NOT overreacting. Pirates went 1-3 in this opening series, and all three losses were attributed to relievers. David Bednar blew two himself. It's like the 163rd-166th games of 2024.

Early risers: I'll have post-election analysis tomorrow morning at 5:05am and 6:05am CDT. Tune into CBS Chicago.

Just waking up? Wondering what happened in yesterday's elections? Don't be sad about missing me last hour. You have one more chance at 6:05am CDT.

I'm very ready for the shenanigans that are about to unfold! #Sky

I watch Abby D. Phillip every night because I think it's a barometer. The right-leaning guests are increasingly having a hard time staying calm while holding to MAGA talking points. Tonight was exceptionally painful to see. I'm sure these are good people. They can't keep this up.

It'll always make me giggle

I have a few media hits coming up: At 4pm and 5pm today, you can catch me chatting with Sabrina Franza on CBS Chicago about Governor Pritzker's announcement that he'll seek a third term. Tomorrow at 7:15am, I'll talk about the NATO summit and foreign policy live on FOX 32 News.

It was an absolute honor to have a chance to sit with my colleagues and reflect on what we do, why we do it, and why North Central is such a special place.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at my conversation with Anita Blanton this morning on FOX 32 News. Shoutout to Roseanne Tellez, who gets a cameo, along with Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, whom I am confident can take a joke.🤣 It was a lovely morning. tiktok.com/t/ZTjTbk4rg/

RIP to one of my childhood heroes. I wish he could have made it to the induction next month.

What are the chances of Elon Musk successfully launching a new political party? We'll talk about it at 7:40am CDT on FOX 32 News.

Political scientists: Charlton McIlwain and I are editing a book on the 2024 elections in the US (part of our De Gruyter Brill ➡️ @degruyterbrill.bsky.social series), with a focus on race and political communication. Do you have a paper that might make a good chapter? If so, reach out to one of us.
