The pavement in Chicago is wet from a day-long rain. Street and traffic lights reflect on the stored in vivid colors.

Big Great Purge Show Trial energy today
Missouri's Schmitt accuses Jack Smith of somehow colluding with prosecutor Fani Willis Feb 2 or 3 in Atlanta by showing text messages Smith's aides' exchanged about getting Smith tickets to a basketball game in...Maryland. His helpers hold a large poster board with pictures of Willis, her paramour, the text messages and Smith with his hand over his heart. The allegations were hilariously baseless.
