Attorney Matthew Segal on the Kimmel story: “In my opinion, when companies or institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law. They are making educated guesses that the U.S. is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won’t matter.”

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.
