Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

ESPN has basically traded an entire investigative journalism dept for Stephen A. Smith. ESPN’s IJs used to uncover stories that all sports radio & podcasters would yap about. Invaluable to the brand. The sportsworld spun on it. Now ESPN is just the worst YouTube sports show ever with better graphics

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
