Flora’s mommy, @jaradb’s fave, and a lot of my time is spent fluffing pillows for a #puggle. #DSM gardener; @drakeuniversity #admission comms on team #Slate.
Media outlets around the globe were quick to run Hamas’ headlines—without fact checking.
We now know that an Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israel misfired and hit the hospital in Gaza.
Got an update from Jarad Bernstein, Exec Dir of Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines about how Iowans are standing in solidarity w Israel I will continue to support Israel in the US Senate as I always hv
Today Jarad Bernstein, Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines, stopped in to discuss the war in Israel and the importance of continuing to support our strongest ally in the Middle East.
TY to @SecretaryPete & @USDOT for holding @SouthwestAir accountable! We were stranded for 3 days in DIA w/ baby + lost both luggage & stroller; Never made it to SJC & shelled out $$$ for hotel, rental car, clothes, food, diapers, and return @UnitedAirlines_ tickets. What a mess.
@TomFlorian1 Thanks—very sweet of you. We bought tickets on @UnitedAirlines_ home tonight (at our own expense). I sure hope @SouthwestAir is planning on compensating for the $$$ we laid out in Denver + our ruined trip. Meanwhile we have family in JAX too—will need to connect on this sometime!
USDOT is concerned by Southwest’s unacceptable rate of cancellations and delays & reports of lack of prompt customer service. The Department will examine whether cancellations were controllable and if Southwest is complying with its customer service plan.
And here we are at 2:30am with a 7 month old baby STILL waiting for the shuttle that is supposedly taking us to the hotel @united arranged after they couldn’t provide a pilot TWICE today, for the same flight.
@united literally you made our plane wait two hours, board a second time, to be deplaned when it was never legal to have that second flight crew fly us. Which was known before you assigned them to fly us. This is unacceptable.
1. So much hostility and confusion from people who saw me (on a Zoom) wearing a mask in my office this week! The question is: Am I crazy, am I virtue signaling, am I fear mongering, or is there some rationale to wear a mask in a private office? Let’s discuss! 🧵
Families across America are worried right now. Babies don't benefit from mean-spirited attacks arguing over how babies should be fed or even which babies deserve to be fed. We can and should help one another as much as we can. Babies do not survive on tweets.🧵
