Missing the love of my life. My spouse, Bill, passed away yesterday morning. My mind keeps rejecting that he is gone. I may have lost him, but I get to keep that big love we had for the rest of my life.
To my family and friends out of town and beyond the U.S.

Like many times for others when I want to honor a life that has passed, I am lighting this candle to honor the well-lived life of my loving husband. Lots of breakthrough grief and tears today despite all the tasks I still have to manage. I wanted so much more time with this man. 💔

In other words, Heritage's "antisemitism" plan is rooted in Great Replacement Theory. They're advancing the antisemitic conspiracy theory that's responsible for the single largest slaughter of Jews on American soil in history, and they're claiming that they're fighting antisemitism while they do it.
SCOOP: The Heritage Foundation’s 'Project Esther,' a conservative plan to counter antisemitism, sees the problem as one in which a handful of “masterminds” including Jews like George Soros are seeking to “dismantle Western democracies, values and culture,” according to internal Heritage documents.
Scoop: Internal Project Esther documents describe conspiracy of Jewish ‘masterminds’ seeking to dismantle Western values
A presentation meant to win supporters for the Heritage Foundation’s plan to fight antisemitism draws a line from George Soros to pro-Palestinian protests.

DAMASCUS:
1000s of prisoners have been freed from Sednaya prison, now flooding the streets, an monumental moment.
For many, the frantic search begins, desperate to know if their loved ones are among the living or the lost.
Either way, the "human slaughterhouse" is no more.

100% correct.
Dems promising to work with DOGE are trying to burnish their own credentials at the expense of the party’s ability to drive a clear message about what’s happening here.
Democrats should be planning to fight these corrupt plutocrats, not offering to work with them.

Why should we work with two billionaires that are hell bent on destroying public benefits and healthcare. Democrats need to oppose their efforts with everything we got. There is no room for partnership.

Critical benefits to be cut unless Democrats can push back.
🔥🔥Rep. Deluzio does NOT hold back, calling out the incoming Trump admin proposal to slash $119 billion from the VA budget—gutting critical care for those who served:
"You want to cut healthcare for the Veterans who risked their lives for this country?!"
