The attacks on Jews are coming in all of these forms, from all sides.
This is a hate movement.
If you're participating in antizionism, you're participating in a hate movement against a minority.
Don't do it.

To go to arts delicatessen he wore a midnight blue cape, top hat &monocle
As we were leaving an older gent stopped him saying “young man, i like your style”
Meant the world to our son
that man was Bob Mackie
RIP

Things are even more dire in Sudan, and things were already dire.
Folks who say they GAF about mass killings and famine, should really be paying attention to what has been happening in Sudan and advocating for them.
This is an immediate crisis.

From my first day in Congress, delivering for IL-14 has been my top priority.
I recently secured $1.09 million to update the infrastructure to bring Lake Michigan water to Yorkville, Oswego, and Montgomery.
Kendall County families deserve access to safe, clean drinking water.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11. In honor and in memory of those who were lost that day, I'll share this video of how these twin towers of triumph were made. God rest their souls in peace, and may their memories be a blessing.
