The Mincing Rascals 11.5.25: Mamdani wins, Garcia exits, immigration enforcement
Update: 2025-11-06
Description
The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg, Executive Director of the Chicago Policy Center and author the The Last Ward, and long-time Chicago journalist Cate Plys, publisher of Roseland, Chicago: 1972. The Rascals begin the podcast breaking down the top stories from yesterday’s elections across the country. Are we seeing a blue wave? Next, the Rascals discuss the latest on Operation Midway Blitz and today’s hearing about the tactics used by law enforcement to detain alleged criminals. Last week Governor Pritzker used an F-bomb when talking about the Trump administration. Where are the Rascals on the use of heated language? U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia announced this week that he wouldn’t seek another term and is drawing criticism for leaving the seat to his chief of staff. Does this political move pass the smell test? Austin gets us up to speed on some of Mayor Johnson’s personnel decisions after it was learned that the former DCASE commissioner resigned after an HR investigation regarding harassment allegations. Finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light! What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
