NEW from me @TheSpectator:

Joe Biden's favorite electric battery company has lost almost its entire stock value as its CEO sounds the alarm about its future

A politically-connected electric battery company with deep ties to the Biden admin is in trouble. Proterra could be staring down financial ruin, even though everyone from the president to his cabinet have worked overtime to boost the bus company.

The Biden administration was supposed to be a ticket to ride for California-based Proterra. In 2021, I reported
@FreeBeacon that it told shareholders that it was ready to “ride the wave” of taxpayer-funded incentives for vehicle electrification.

What happened tonight in #ilgov?

-Voters agreed that @JBPritzker is consistent, competent and kind: he kept his promises on the budget/infrastructure and led IL through a pandemic.
- Mayor Irvin’s implosion reveals the detachment of the ILGOP from both race and reality. A 🧵:
JB promised he would raise the minimum wage, address climate change and infrastructure equitably, legalize weed + return resources to black/brown communities, and balance the budget. He promised he’d follow the science and prioritize saving lives during COVID. Done.✅
But what about the GOP establishment – specifically Ken Griffin and his team of operatives – and their selection of Richard Irvin? They banked on the idea that ILGOP voters would support a black man “to own the libs.” They turned out to be wrong: why?

Correct Care Solutions - the Rauner-linked health care company that services ICE facilities - also has contracts with the IL Dept. of Juvenile Justice worth $20M+

Here's a Correct Care posting for a job at IYC Warrenville, an IDJJ facility

The vendor listed on the state contracts is "Correctional Healthcare Companies", which merged with Correct Care in 2014

In his "blind-trust commitments", Rauner promised he would donate "any proceeds from investment interests that I may hold that have any contract with the State of Illinois"

Has he donated his profits from Correct Care? Are there other investments like this?
