The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing.

While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.

On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

MAGA has to make peace with supporting a man who partied with a pedophile and is now doing everything as President to cover up the release of the Epstein Files.

Innocent men don't behave like Trump.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

Cowards

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

It's not that he doesn't know. It's that he thinks there are a lot of ignorant people that don't know and he can fool.

A reason why we got here is that the media stopped reporting facts and replaced reporting with making everything a reality tv show where contestants fight one another. It turned lying from a liability into an advantage since it would no longer be punished

No Kings — Freedom (video) Why protest is patriotic

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

Why would Walmart have to “eat” the tariffs? Didn’t he say the other countries pay the tariffs?

Welker only asks two types of questions:

1) "People are saying X, what is your response?"

2) XY poll says this, how do you respond?"

She's terrible.

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

Massive crowds at anti-Trump, Musk "Hands Off" rallies across US Taking place in over 1,000 locations, the mobilization represents what organizers call "a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history."

So, if they really think liberal protesters are only out on the streets because they are being paid by George Soros, why aren’t there 50 times as many protesters out in support of Trump?
I mean, Musk is 50 times richer than Soros.

*Dem Protesters aren’t being paid.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY!
Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs.

He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

They underreacted because they still think he’s going to reverse them in a few days. Wait until they realize he isn’t.
