Today, I'm announcing a new tenant to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park.

Pasqal will accelerate the size, scope, and pace of our ambition — including plans to scale their systems of computing power.

Inspiring confidence in the potential of our state and quantum.

Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium as he announces Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, will establish their U.S. headquarters as a future tenant of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) on Chicago’s South Side.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

This comes after years of brutal layoffs and no cost-of-living raises since 2021.

Next up: we bargain. But if we have to strike, we will 🪧

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

It’s time to stop the distractions & release the Epstein files! My guess is the purpose of the distractions is to make it past Election Day w/no harm to republican strongholds!

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company.

It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers.

While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.
