My bill to reauthorize the ACT for #ALS was just considered in an Energy & Commerce hearing! I want to thank @iamalsorg Founders Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya for sharing their stories with Congress today. This would not have been possible without them.
I also want to thank IAA Board Member Dan Tate, who will be joining us at a press conference on the bill later, alongside @RepMGriffith, @alsoassociation, @MDAorg, and @ALSUnitedIL.
A great boss. An ubermensch. May his memory be a blessing. Eliot Engel, a 16-Term Bronx Liberal in Congress, Dies at 79 https://t.co/TgPjIn3Z0o via @NYTimes
So my kid got a 5 on AP gov exam (not even a humble brag, he put in the work…!) and is now selling his review guide. It’s incredibly exhaustive, check it out!

"Nothing can bring Hersh back...I don't have this fiery, venomous anger that I think wouldn't serve me in any purpose. If there is something that can move this entire region forward...We have to take that chance."
Rachel Goldberg-Polin again shows us her grace and strength.
And it makes economic sense to make clean energy technologies in the United States (some of which were developed in Israel, by the way). So can we all just start doing the right thing? It can't be that hard if we started listening rather than screaming (and maybe delete x?)
Look, no one cares what I think but I'm going to say it anyway. Last night was awful. They were killed a block away from my office. It's all been personal since 10/7 but last night felt like the final straw. It's time to talk out about so many things.
Sarah Milgrim, 26, was a passionate peace activist.
She held a Master’s in International Studies from American University, and a second Master’s in Natural Resources and Sustainable Development from the United Nations University for Peace.
At the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC, she dedicated her work to building a future where Israelis and Palestinians could live side by side in peace and dignity.
She also volunteered with Tech2Peace, an organization that brings together young Israelis and Palestinians to foster dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation.
When Elias Rodriguez shot her, simply because she was Jewish, he murdered not just a bright young woman, but the very kind of person our world so desperately needs: someone working tirelessly to create a more peaceful, just, and shared future for all.
May her memory be a blessing.
We can't bring these lovely 2 humans back but we can hold many truths in our brains at the same time and recognize that a state of Israel needs to exist and Jews have the right to live without fear; Gazans should not be starved to death and should not be human shields;
It is scary being an American Jew right now. We go to synagogues that are fortified with armed guards and police. Kids go to schools that have layers of security. Campuses and cities are filled with antisemitism. This isn't the world I grew up in. It's disgusting and disheartening. And I don't know how it will end.
FTP client @GeneralAtomics Electromagnetic Systems Group was recently recognized by @ENERGY for their work on silicon carbide cladding, which is revolutionizing how we make nuclear fuels.

More than 250 Jewish students at Columbia have signed this open letter.
If you have 5 minutes today, take the time to read it. Because the sentiments it expresses are what the overwhelming majority of Jewish people feel.
