WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

I'm proud to announce $18.4M in grants to EV charging stations across Illinois — funds that Trump was withholding until @ilattygeneral.bsky.social stepped in to restore.
Looking forward to taking another step forward in our efforts to expand our infrastructure and boost our local economies.

In May, I joined 16 state AGs in suing the Trump administration for unlawfully halting critical electric vehicle funding. I am pleased NEVI funds have been released and that the money will help construct EV charging stations: tinyurl.com/4jb2d9bc

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.
Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:
