At a moment of real & rising antisemitism, extremism, & violence across the ideological spectrum, our communities deserve a whole-of-government response. This strategy marks an important step toward that goal — rooted in the recognition that Jewish safety and inclusive democracy must go hand-in-hand

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Today would’ve been my father’s 95th birthday. In search of a better life, he came to America with only $2.43 and a Korean-English dictionary. He had no friends or family here. Like many immigrants, he dreamt of the promise of what this country could offer. Each day I work to honor his memory.

GREAT NEWS: Today the House passed a proposal I led with Representatives Jim McGovern and Jimmy Panetta to provide much-needed tax relief to survivors of financial scams and natural disasters. No one should be taxed by the federal government on money stolen from them by scammers and fraudsters.

There are those using this as a chance to suppress any criticism of Israel or advocacy for Palestinian rights And there are those using this to suggest there are no issues with Macklemore & antisemitism Both are disingenuous and undermine the fights against real antisemitism & attacks on democracy

Both extremes are using this story to their advantage. Artists should not be banned for standing up for Palestinian rights. They *should* be held accountable for explicit hate. (By that standard, Kanye should of course also face real accountability.)

The issue with Macklemore isn’t that he said “Free Palestine” — and that reductive take is harmful, just as it’s harmful to suggest that the term itself is somehow always inherently antisemitic. The issue is that his (much more convoluted) comments followed this ⬇️

BREAKING: Hill County just proved Texans aren’t powerless. When local people stood up, they hit pause on a 300-acre data center, joining Athens, Killeen, San Marcos, and Wichita Falls in pushing back. If Hill County can fight back, the rest of Texas can too.
Black news graphic from The Texas Tribune with the headline: “Texas county pauses data center construction in rural areas for a year.”

Below, smaller text reads: “Hill County commissioners’ split vote to issue a moratorium appears to be a first in Texas. Residents and local officials had aired concerns about how a proposed 300-acre development in north Hillsboro could impact the quality of life in the rural county through noise pollution and consuming large amounts of water and electricity.”

The date at the bottom reads: “May 13, 2026.” The graphic highlights Hill County’s decision to temporarily halt rural data center construction over concerns about water use, electricity demand, and quality of life.
