    President Donald Trump delivered very brief opening remarks and stuck around until the closing ceremony at the Presidents Cup on Sunday, speaking to a crowd of thousands — many in patriotic gear — at Medinah Country Club as protesters gathered far out of sight. “These people want to see golf. They don’t want to hear speeches,” Trump said during morning remarks that lasted less than three minutes. “I’ll only say this: Our country is doing great, better than ever before.” It was Trump’s first publ

JB Pritzker held a moment of silence Tuesday inside a church in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. “May his memory be a blessing to us all,“ Pritzker said of Villegas González, as elected and community leaders bowed their heads under the high ceilings of the La Villita Community Church.

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    On Aug. 3, state investigators inspecting the notorious South Chicago Chapel were confronted with an overwhelming smell and a nightmarish scene. In a ramshackle building, the temperature in one storage area rose to 88 degrees, as dozens of bodies decomposed, rats scurried around the area, and maggots covered some of the remains. Public records obtained by the Tribune, as well as a newly filed city lawsuit, describe how bad conditions had gotten at the South Side funeral home before state and loc
