Hey, it's Justin! We may be in the middle of a fall sport, but for many, the best game in town isn't football, baseball, basketball, or soccer.

That's why we're bringing back our political column, Trail Mix, every Monday through November 8th.

surprises and advertising

We are not even two months away from the election we know from the wealth of political advertisements in our bones.

Leading the News: Dan Proft's superpower, PAC, has created a number of controversial assault ads, including one showing an assault involving a woman screaming.

  • No music, no voiceover. just scream
  • The controversial ad aired during a Bears game last week but was pulled after complaints from NBC 5.
  • Nabi later claimed that the news first aired the video.

    • News Review: Many news outlets broadcast videos as news, but reporters read transcripts over silent videos.

  • The purpose of the poll is to get Chicago residents to vote for a candidate, not to report on what's going on in the community.

    • IL AG: Hide permissions

    In the race for Attorney General, who will represent the state in all legal matters, incumbent Democrat Kwame Rawle meets Republican Attorney Thomas DeVore.

    Flash forward: DeVore successfully sued the state to end Musk's school mandate after a judge ruled against the order last summer.

    Zoom out: Before you call out Anti-Mask DeVore, read his interesting comments at the GOP meeting in Springfield ahead of the Illinois State Fair rally.

  • "How many of you in this room don't like the Musk administration?" [people raise their hands]
  • "Now how many of you like it when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issues an order saying you can't enforce Musk's orders?" [audience clapping and shouting]
  • "You're the culprit in this crowd" [Calm down]
  • "If Governor DeSantis was Governor of Illinois, I would sue him too." [Silence]
  • "You have consented to and participated in the erosion of our great nation, abusing executive power to the extent that it achieves the possible end."

    In short, it's rare to see candidates tell party members they're wrong, especially at public meetings.
