THE SUM KEEPS SOARING: After we finished our story Thursday, a group tied to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee reported spending $1.1 million against Junaid Ahmed (in the 8th District) and Kat Abughazaleh (9th). The two face AIPAC favs Melissa Bean (8th) and Laura Fine (9th).

The presentation emphasizes the access to information and the new relationships the move could offer new recruits, as well as subsequent opportunities for enrichment. It tells potential recruits that their “exit opportunities will be exceptional, including the potential to launch a new fund with members of this team.” “This is not a career move, but a two-year secondment, which could lead to several exciting exit opportunities,” it says, adding, “This is also an opportunity to serve your country.”
According to the investment presentation, Mr. Feinberg has been tasked with overhauling the Office of Strategic Capital, and with overseeing the so-called Economic Warfare Unit, which is taking the equity stakes. The presentation also says that the new 30-person investment team will report directly to David Lorch, the director of the Office of Strategic Capital, and George K. Kollitides II, a private equity investor and senior adviser to Mr. Feinberg. Mr. Kollitides is the former chief executive of Remington Arms, which Mr. Feinberg’s fund, Cerberus, previously acquired.

"Governor Pritzker wants funds flowing for Great Lakes carp plan after Trump heaps praise on project he paused." Headline from the Chicago Sun-Times
The Trump Administration is betraying every American who relies on the Great Lakes.
The President must uphold his stated commitment and deliver the federal funds for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project.
Illinois has done its part — it’s past time he does his.

"I was skeptical. Instantly dismissive, actually. Money for everyone, even rich people? It made my skin crawl." This author went from hater to advocate after seeing that "in almost every study, one of the benefits that accrues is, quite literally, a future."
The evidence is clear if you look at it.
