LEBRON IS COMING TO PHILLY.
By the power vested in me as the Governor of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a die-hard Sixers fan... I hereby proclaim today to be LEBRON JAMES DAY.
Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love, @KingJames.
This week I got a telescope with one button and a Torah portion with forty-two campsites. Turns out they teach the same lesson: that faint, faithful things only show up when you gather them. Shabbat Shalom! open.substack.com/pub/rebsof…
The Rabbis once imagined an 8-string harp, with musical range beyond anything our ears have perceived. How can we make it sound? open.substack.com/pub/rebsof…

This is a cruel disgrace. ICE agents in Minneapolis chase, tackle, and handcuff a child in the freezing cold and snow while he yells “I’m legal! I’m legal!” How does this make us safer? How does this target “the worst of the worst?” Horrifying and shameful.

We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.

Filming and documenting ICE activities and arrests is the most American thing you could do. The pinnacle of First Amendment protected action.

Press conference this evening in Durham, NC led by @SiembraNC in response to arrival of ICE in the city. Strong showing of elected officials and faith leaders condemning ICE’s secretive attacks on schools and businesses in the area.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…”
This was never about efficiency.

I've had the honor of knowing David Brooks for years. I admire him and have been deeply moved, informed, inspired, and bettered by his books and talks.
He was a Republican when I met him. I don't know his party affiliation now. What I do know is he has always been a man of virtue, objective reasoning, pragmatism, wisdom, and invaluable insights.
What he states here is painful and true.
I will continue to fight to stop this awful reality undermining good governance and causing such awful impact on dedicated public servants who are doing vital work for our safety, strength and national security.

He who claims immunity for law-breaking on the grounds that he is saving his country is a megalomaniacal would-be dictator.

Words I needed during these troubling times. I hope they too bring you strength in this fight.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
