Chicago Tribune
The Chicago Tribune is a major daily newspaper based in Chicago, Illinois, United States, and the flagship publication of the Tribune Company. Formerly self-styled as the "World's Greatest Newspaper" (for which WGN radio and television are named), it remains the most read daily newspaper of the Chicago metropolitan area and the Great Lakes region and is currently the eighth largest newspaper in the United States by circulation (and became the second largest under Tribune's ownership after the Chicago Tribune's parent company purchased the Los Angeles Times).[3] Traditionally published as a broadsheet, on January 13, 2009, the Tribune announced it would continue publishing as a broadsheet for home delivery, but would publish in tabloid format for newsstand, news box and commuter station sales.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s extension of a statewide stay-at-home order continued to face pushback Wednesday, with a second Republican state lawmaker challenging the order in a lawsuit accusing the governor of creating “a police state.”
The lawsuits, along with calls for more rallies later this week to protest the governor’s order, reflect a growing frustration over the state shutdown in some quarters even as state officials said the number of known COVID-19 cases in Illinois had pushed past 50,000.
The state on Wednesday began its efforts to fend off a court ruling that exempts downstate Rep. Darren Bailey, a Xenia Republican, from Pritzker’s stay-at-home order, asking the Illinois Supreme Court to take up its appeal directly.
The Clay County court’s narrow ruling only allows Bailey to ignore the directive. Rep. John Cabello, a Machesney Park Republican and a Rockford police officer, said he seeks broader results from the lawsuit he filed Wednesday in Winnebago County.
