Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

As I watch some my friends seem to be ok with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I wonder if they would celebrate my death if I was killed while at work because a left wing gunmen decided the "Zionist" in the California Legislature were an oppressor and open fire at a Jewish event I'm attending.

I commented about how @nbcla.com failed to mention NY Times editor in chief was Jewish and that the red paint splashed on his home was likely a hate crime.

This is the response I got.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick on Twitter: “With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.”

Trump’s Tax Scam gives ICE a bigger budget than Russia’s military.

Senate Passes Massive Changes To Student Loan Borrowing And Repayment The Senate passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, moving forward sweeping reforms to federal student loan programs, ending Grad PLUS and phasing out IDR plans.

Eliminating the Graduate Plus loan effectively eliminates public interest loan forgiveness for grad students.

I would not have been able to pay for law school, or have the 01 year career in public service had this been law.

We’re now seeing ICE carry out more raids against hard working farmworkers throughout California. My colleagues and I are urging that ICE agents promptly and clearly identify themselves during arrests. #knowyourrights #immigrationrights

On October 7 I was 3 days into a 4 day music festival.

I spent 10/7 and 10/8 waiting for one of the artists to acknowledge the mass slaughter of Jews just trying to enjoy music. It never happened.

I never imagined I should be grateful no artist was leading chants cheering on the death of Jews.

Why were so many Thai farmers among the hostages held by Hamas? Israel says it has retrieved the body of a 35-year-old Thai hostage who was abducted into Gaza during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war.

This is what fascism looks like. Secret police raids. Injuring protesters. Arresting labor leaders.

As Jews gather to celebrate a sacred holiday, many lie awake wondering:

Are these isolated horrors?

Or is this the start of an American pogrom? 7/

Criticizing Israel is fair. Jews do it every day. But demonizing Zionism, erasing our connection to our homeland, and excusing Hamas while ignoring Jewish pain — that puts us in danger. 6/

Many Jews have been pushed out of friend groups and activist spaces over the past year. We’re not treated like people. We’re treated like problems. 5/

Now we watch the same kind of dehumanizing hate — Nazi-style antisemitic propaganda — spread online, fueling real-world violence. 4/

Last night was also the anniversary of the Farhud — a 1941 pogrom in Iraq inspired by Nazi propaganda. Hundreds of Jews were killed. Nearly 150,000 fled. Iraqi Jewish life never recovered. 3/

Weeks ago, two Jews were murdered at a museum. Now, six more are hospitalized after a man attacked Jews with Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower.

Both attackers shouted: “Free Palestine.” 2/

Last night was Shavuot. Jews stay up learning Torah and eat cheesecake to celebrate receiving our most sacred gift.

But today, many American Jews aren’t just tired — we’re scared. 1/

Those New SF Speed Cameras Are Catching 1,000 Speeders Every Day, Most on Fulton Street They’re still just giving out warnings for lead-foot drivers who are caught by those new speed-detecting cameras, but data from the first month of the program shows that a stunning 44% of all citation...

Of all the speed camera programs authorized under SB 645, only San Francisco has a program up and running.

The cameras are currently issuing warnings, but citations will begin being mailed in August.

Already the cameras are catching over 1,000 speeding drivers per day.

The atrocious shooting in DC last night was about anti semitism, not anti Zionism. The victims were not murdered at the Israeli Embassy. They were murdered at a Jewish Museum during an event by the American Jewish Committee to discuss increased aid missions to the Middle East and Africa.

My statement on last night’s murders at a Jewish event in Washington, D.C.

I loved Norm. George was such a talented comedian and actor. I had the pleasure of seeing him in a live production of 12 Angry Men once.

May his memory be a blessing and bring laughter and joy to all who knew him.

Still trying to figure out if the woman who said "you are very brave" to me at Asha Bath House was referring to me being shirtless or wearing a Star of David.

Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors.

Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city.

Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025

Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

Wouldn't it be nice if our Governor could recognize Jews without being flooded with antisemitic comments? Or the Jewish Caucus Chair commemorate Yom Hashoah without comments denying the Holocaust?

Nike apologises over ‘never again’ slogan on marathon billboard - The Jewish Chronicle The sporting goods giant was accused of trivialising the Holocaust by turning the phrase into a marketing slogan

Yes. I'm sure the person who came up with this ad did it "ignorantly and not with malice." It's not like it not only mocks the Holocaust but also does it using the colors of the Nazi flag.

What an incredibly terrifying moment. Passover is truly one of the most special, family oriented Jewish holidays. The amount of hate and brutality it takes to try to burn someone and their family alive is atrocious.

Am Yisrael Chai. The Jewish people live.

Really excited to be the first president of #caleg Jewish Staff Association. We are having monthly happy hours and will be having a Passover Potluck next month! Reach out for more information!

They’re now:

(a) Banning words relating to LGBTQ people in scientific research papers

(b) Scrubbing scientific data from federal websites

(c) Threatening to prosecute any federal employee who questions the shadow DOGE organization

(d) Threatening to destroy PBS
