I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.
For any of you who called chants like “River to the Sea” or “Globalize the Intifada” just peaceful speech, and ignored Jews telling you this is incitement, GFY. #gapol
@jasonesteves Hell yeah! - people need to get motivated for our local elections! In 2024 around 55k voted in Sandy Springs. In our last local election in 2021, 18k voted. We need to get out the vote every year.
I spoke from the House well today in memory of Kfir and Ariel Bibas and to let my colleagues know to check in with their Jewish constituents b/c we are not ok. Thank you to my colleagues who support our community. I am forever grateful. #gapol https://t.co/24zPBCTlIJ
Rob Manfred says there is “buzz” around adding a "Golden At-Bat" rule to Major League Baseball, per @jaysonst.
This rule would allow a team to choose one at-bat in every game to use their best hitter regardless of where they're at in the lineup.
Senator @ossoff ,
Having read your statement quoted in this article, I respectfully wish to note the following:
Expressing your criticism of Israel - an allied democracy - by voting against it on a core national security interest during an existential war, is deeply concerning.
The Israeli government is obligated to defend our country and people against a vicious enemy that shows no mercy—not for us, nor for their own.
Iran and its terror proxies—Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and militias in Syria and Iraq—have openly declared their genocidal aims against Israel and the Jewish people. Defeating these Islamist extremists is not only Israel’s interest but a shared imperative for the entire free world, including the United States.
In fighting this war, Israel remains committed to international law and strives to minimize harm to innocent civilians.
President Biden’s administration objected to the legislation you voted for, having determined that Israel’s actions in this war do not violate relevant U.S. laws.
If protecting innocent lives is your priority, I urge you to focus on demanding Hamas to release the 101 remaining hostages, including seven American citizens, and lay down their arms. This is the surest way to spare innocent lives on both sides.
Pushing for daylight between the U.S. and Israel on such a critical security matter sends the wrong message to the axis of evil that bears so much responsibility to human suffering and tragedy. Achieving victory against Iran and its proxies is not just Israel’s goal; it is a shared interest of the U.S. and all who seek peace and stability.
Voting hours are extended at the following locations:
Etris Darnell Community Center – until 7:45 pm
C.H. Gullatt Elementary School – until 7:15 pm
Southwest Arts Center – until 7:43 pm
Northwood Elementary School – until 7:45 pm
Lake Forest Elementary School – until 7:10 pm
Proud to cast my vote for President this year for @KamalaHarris and to join the broad coalition of Democrats, Independents and Republicans ready for a new way forward.
The presidential candidates are gone. The campaign visits are almost over. It’s election eve in Georgia, and the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump seems as tight as ever. A closer look at things stand: #gapol https://t.co/3Vo4H4Pq98
