Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

As Hanukkah begins, I’m thinking of the victims of the horrific attack in Sydney. The Jewish community has always been resilient, but this shows we all must continue standing together against antisemitism.

Gabby and I hope everyone celebrating Hanukkah can find peace and light.

The United States is the only developed country in the world where mass shootings continue to be a constant problem.

Republicans need to finally stand up to the gun lobby and join Democrats to pass real gun safety reforms that can save countless lives.

As Jews around the world gather to celebrate Hanukkah, it’s heartbreaking to hear of another deadly antisemitic attack - this time at Australia's Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims and praying for all those affected.

After this weekend’s antisemitic terror attack in Australia, it is more important than ever that people assemble for Hanukkah.

May the Festival of Lights shine brightly in Jewish homes and communities throughout the world.

Agreed 👍

Ahmed al Ahmed is a Muslim hero, an Australian hero, a human hero.

From a big redistricting defeat for Trump in Indiana to Democratic victories across Florida, Georgia, and Iowa, it’s been a big week for Democrats. Add Trump’s falling approval and another failed attempt to re-indict NY AG Tish James, and we’ve all got reasons to celebrate.
Our Wins Of The Week
In a major defeat for Donald Trump, the Republican supermajority in the Indiana state Senate rejected redrawn congressional maps that would have given Republicans two more seats in the U.S.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.
