To put a finer point on it, Pritzker is being presidential in a way Newsom is not. Newsom is doing a decent job trolling Trump for the lulz, but Pritzker is speaking with the gravitas this situation warrants, promising real accountability, with federal, state and local leaders standing behind him.

When my best friend and I were dumb kids we had this running joke: “When I’m dictator, you can be the head of my secret police. You realize, of course, this means you’re first to go in the purge.” We were teenagers… in the 1980’s.

Sorry, I should’ve been more specific—our neighborhood (North OP) gets CH-47 traffic regularly, and has for years. That double rotor sound is pretty distinct. Like I said, just our bad luck to be in a routine flight path, I guess. There’s a reserve unit that flies them out of Olathe.

I gotta disagree with it being “not a common sight here.” I mean, at least in my neighborhood. My roommate has been complaining about the helicopter traffic over our house for years. I guess we just have the bad luck to live in one of their regular flight paths.
