AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Obama Presidential Center Opening: Barack Obama officially opened his Chicago presidential center with a star-studded, music-filled ceremony and a pointed call to defend democracy—without naming Trump—while the museum opens to the public Friday (tickets for the museum sold out through November, but the rest of the 19-acre campus is free). Live Music & Pop Culture: The dedication lineup included Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Marc Anthony, Christina Aguilera, Common, Bono, The Roots, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder. Entertainment Spotlight: Nigerian singer Tems said she was nervous during the event and apologized after a stage mix-up with the Obama daughters’ names. Illinois Sports Tech: IHSA is adding a 35-second shot clock for varsity boys and girls basketball starting 2026-27. Local Athlete Honors: Naperville Central’s Emerson Burke was named 2026 Illinois Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year after a record 40-goal season. Streaming Buzz: Disney Plus suffered a widespread outage, leaving users unable to log in and access content.
