Kim Foxx’s reaction to new charges agains Jussie Smollett: Orange Man Bad – Quicktake

Embattled Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx yesterday issued a statement reacting to the Special Prosecutor’s decision to re-indict Jussie Smollett, whom Foxx essentially let go. Her statement, from CBS Chicago:

Kim Foxx

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office charged Jussie Smollett with multiple counts, and today the Special Prosecutor did the same. What’s questionable here is the James Comey-like timing of that charging decision, just 35 days before an election, which can only be interpreted as the further politicization of the justice system, something voters in the era of Donald Trump should consider offensive.

Is there anything in politics today that somebody somehow won’t tie to Trump?

What voters should consider offensive is your soft stance on crime, Ms. Foxx.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
