Good morning, Chicago. 

All events, even the White House Easter Egg Roll, are opportunities for President Donald Trump to talk politics. This week’s egg roll, normally a children’s event, included Trump’s usual rants. 

“And thus one of the more wholesome and fun events in the White House calendar was besmirched by a man who simply cannot stop with the zero-sum partisan nonsense even when surrounded by impressionable young faces. They seem to have no impact on him,” the board writes. 

In commentary, two sisters, Sediqa Fahimi and Mursal Fahimi, recall their escape from Afghanistan in 2021 after the Taliban took Kabul and how refugee resettlement programs gave their family not only safety but an opportunity as well to continue their work. Also, we have a reflection on Artemis II and the importance of space exploration from regular contributor Michael Peregrine. 

The editorial board also writes today about why this is a bad time for the city to be without an inspector general. And columnist Laura Washington asks, “What’s the fuss” over delivery robots? 

Thanks for reading.
