[Embassy of Israel to the USA @IsraelinUSA]

Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives.

This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC.

The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss.

Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.

Above all, this moment in the oval office will be the ultimate turning point in the US-Ukraine relationship and therefore the war. The text for next week's presidential address is getting some new red pens on the Ukraine section after this meeting. #Ukraine #ForeignPolicy

you’ve never seen a public beating by the american president of a wartime ally like this before.

as stunning as the vance munich speech, but this time directly by the us president.

The first question @abcnews ought to ask tonight: As a commitment to the democratic process that relies on a well-informed electorate, will you commit to doing another debate before October 15? #Debate2024

The CHIPS Act is bringing new investments & opportunities to #OR06, including at the CorMic Tech Hub. Partnering with local colleges & community groups, CorMic will help build a diverse STEM workforce & ensure more Oregonians can benefit from the high-tech economy of the future.

Today’s announcement is further proof that Oregon is the beating heart of our nation’s semiconductor industry. This funding will keep Oregon at the forefront of high-tech and create good-paying jobs for Oregonians.

MUST WATCH: Bill Clinton on Israel & Hamas

"Hamas is really smart. When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in the highly populous areas."

“I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza... between 96 and 97% of the West Bank, compensating land in Israel, you name it."

We published our editorial calling for an end to the PPS teachers strike online on Friday. It's in print today, on The Oregonian's front page. We rarely publish front-page editorials, but the impact of this strike on students and the community merit it. Schools must be reopened.

[Avi Mayer אבי מאיר @AviMayer]

The release of any hostages is obviously good.

But by releasing foreign nationals, Hamas is trying to drive a wedge between Israel and its allies, manipulate world opinion, and decrease international pressure.

Every single hostage—Israeli and foreign—must be freed immediately.

County leadership presentation on Homeless services this am… significant underspend. Looking for the plan and have a lot of questions about expected outcomes to address the crisis in our streets and neighborhoods. In 2023, County has $180M of taxpayer funds for homeless services
