Highly recommend James
by Percival Everett.
Don't you love how a good book lingers with you after you finish reading? This one does that.

Masterful writing.

Inspires me to, again, pick up my pen. ✍️

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Thank you, Governor Pritker.

Two years ago, we embarked on a trade mission to the UK — a collaboration that resulted in today's MOU signing.

Illinois is in the top states for both imports and exports with the UK, with bilateral trade reaching nearly $5B.

I look forward to seeing what we can achieve next.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Sweden's remarkably clean power grid. In November, this was its electricity generation mix:

Hydro 38%
Wind 31%
Nuclear 28%
Bioenergy 4%

Zero coal or gas.
