Every day I push back on the lie that Israelis are cruel. That we have no decent people. That weโre the villains the anti-Israel crowd says we are.

The flotilla are useful idiots. Youโre the gift they prayed for. You donโt deserve to be in this government or any government. Actually, I wouldnโt trust you to wash my car.
It should be possible, indeed necessary, to hold two thoughts at once.
First, despite the pervasive amnesia about 10/7, the world should never forget that Hamas is the central cause of the war in Gaza and the untold suffering it has unleashed. The primary responsibility for the war lies with its cause: Hamas.
Second, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is morally unacceptable, and all parties, including the US and Israel, have a moral obligation to do their part in alleviating the hunger and hardship that have taken hold in Gaza. Hamas couldnโt care less if every Palestinian starved to death. But the free world must care. And more than care, we must act to prevent the crisis from deepening.
We have to have the difficult conversation with friends saying they'll rank Mamdani on their list. We can engage by asking questions, and by being open about our concerns and just how profound they are. And we have to encourage those already convinced he shouldn't be our mayor -- to get to the polls and cast their vote. I hope this video helps. #DontRankMamdani
DACA was exactly the right policy. We need a path of citizenship, especially for children that had no say in coming here illegally.
Iโm all for aggressively enforcing our borders, but we have to have a humane way to treat people that are already here.
In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption, and shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy, and faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving and momentous for us all.
The constitutional crisis is here.
President Trump is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.
