Here in Selma about to cross the Edmund Pettus bridge with a few of my friends. Got here just in time to hear the voice of my Governor @govpritzker.illinois.gov. Guess somebody's running...
@commoncause.bsky.social has brought me to Selma for the Jubilee last year, and they brought me back again. For that I am grateful, but I am thinking of my friends at Rainbow PUSH at this time. I saw Rev. Jackson here last year and remembering him this year.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov issued an "Invoice" marked Past Due to the federal government for the $8.67B owed to the state as a refund from the tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down.
Thrilled to be able watch my friend, Fred Tsao of @icirr.bsky.social, accept an award from Reform for Illinois for the amazing work that ICIRR has done to keep people in Chicagoland safe. I am so lucky to be able to work with and be surrounded by actual heroes.

Back in federal court today, coaching the team of middle school lawyers that are representing the government. I'm confident that we will prevail against TikTok's baseless claims.
Sitting in the shadow of the Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma, listening to elders remind us that we have been here before. We already know the playbook.
I am pushing to finish the last of my work so that I can start packing for my early flight to Montgomery, Alabama. Tomorrow is the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday. If you know me, you know that I usually don't get excited, but I am looking forward to this trip. I need rejuvenation.
Just got a chance to watch the Arsenal PSV game. I already knew the outcome, so it took the fun out of it, but glad to change the narrative cuz our fans can be toxic. Also, Trossard started the move that led to his goal with a backheel nutmeg.
