Sneak peek from Maryland Jewish Advocacy Day! Proud to partner with @JCRCgw & local federations. Thanks to the 300+ community members making your voices heard and to @GovWesMoore, @shellyhettleman & @jaredssolomon for leading the way.
While Bezos destroys the Washington Post and ignores local coverage, the @BaltimoreBanner is stepping up. So glad to be a subscriber. As a public official, we absolutely need a strong and independent press to inform the public and help hold us accountable!
He saved people for a living. He was a nurse in the intensive care unit of his local hospital. He was an American citizen. He had never had an interaction with law enforcement until the day he murdered him in broad daylight.
It’s the first day. We will learn more.
A NYT analysis of video offers an initial sequence.
A citizen holding a phone is put on the ground.
His weapon is found and taken.
Only afterward is he shot, again and again and again.
Agents block police from the crime scene.
President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state.
Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.

The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted.
We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.
“President violates constitution & threatens military force against Americans - again.” Seems like a more accurate description…
I don’t want my kids growing up in a nation where the military patrols the streets. Do you?

- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
This political era is all about vengeance & escalation. Impose as much suffering as possible on the other side. They started it anyway and must be destroyed. Civility & grace is for losers & wimps. Real leaders fight - no apologies, no mercy.
We desperately need de-escalators.
Let this sink in: Speaker Johnson won’t call for the National Guard to patrol his hometown in LA but cheers for their presence in Washington, DC — even though Shreveport has a higher incidence of violent crime per capita. 🧐
.@JDVance reacted to the latest, horrific school shooting in typical fashion, blaming it entirely on the mental health crisis, not the uniquely easy access in the U.S. to deadly weapons.
Meanwhile, the admin has revoked billions in mental health grants.
