To our Streator community: we know the tornado and storms hit hard yesterday, destroying homes, downing power lines and causing outages.

Our crews are working to restore power safely and as quickly as possible. We understand how challenging outages are, and we won’t stop until everyone is back online. Thank you to our customers for your patience, and to our city leaders and first responders for your partnership.

@McLarenF1 Tired of Oscar helping Lando do better than he is because you favor him. The Q3 slipstream and now this! Very disappointed

@McLarenF1 You should have let Oscar pass. He could have caught max!

Nice work IMEA- committed to diversifying its energy sources

[ILMuniElectricAgency @IMEA_Org]

Our 32 member municipalities will soon receive greener power thanks to our agreement for a 150-megawatt utility-scale solar generating facility, named Bee Hollow. The new St. Claire Co. facility is estimated to produce enough electricity to power 44,123 homes for a year.

@IMEA_Org @smw1502 Proud of IMEA’s work to be diversified in its energy providers! Keep up the good work!

@MattP1Gallagher Money talks for sure, but I don't think there's any better driver, AVAILABLE, to replace Checo right now. I don't think Ricciardo or Lawson or Tsunoda would do any better than Perez has this season. And he gets along with Verstappen

Since Alvin Bragg in his speech last night mentioned District Attorney Thomas Dewey from the 1930s, I think it's only appropriate to mention US Attorney General Robert Jackson from the 1940s and his warning to federal prosecutors about their capacity to abuse the law. Key excerpts:

“The prosecutor has more control over life, liberty, and reputation than any other person in America. His discretion is tremendous. He can have citizens investigated and, if he is that kind of person, he can have this done to the tune of public statements and veiled or unveiled intimations. Or the prosecutor may choose a more subtle course and simply have a citizen's friends interviewed. The prosecutor can order arrests, present cases to the grand jury in secret session, and on the basis of his one-sided presentation of the facts, can cause the citizen to be indicted and held for trial. He may dismiss the case before trial, in which case the defense never has a chance to be heard. Or he may go on with a public trial. If he obtains a conviction, the prosecutor can still make recommendations as to sentence, as to whether the prisoner should get probation or a suspended sentence, and after he is put away, as to whether he is a fit subject for parole. While the prosecutor at his best is one of the most beneficent forces in our society, when he acts from malice or other base motives, he is one of the worst.”

@PicturesFoIder The problem with this is - it doesn’t punish the establishment. It punishes the poor front desk clerk

@CollinRugg My recollection is Cheney was a threat thanks to keeping us at war to make profits for Haliburton

@NikkiHaley Ban Communist China from buying any real property in America, not just farmland

If your college degree isn't valuable enough for you to pay off... it certainly isn't valuable enough for my tax dollars to pay off.
