The rumors are true, #Minneapolis… Waymo is here.

Can’t wait to get back to #Orlando soon. Still always feels like home for Amber and I.

Ten years ago this past spring, I stood before a beit din, answered questions with a nervous smile and a full heart, and then stepped into the mikveh. I joined the Jewish people with intention, with joy, and with a promise to live a Jewish life in a way that felt authentic to me.

Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.

Such bullshit. Trump doesn’t need the House to vote to release the Epstein files. Trump could just order Pam Bondi to release the files. Tomorrow morning.

Yes, #Hamas must go—but that’s not the same as rejecting a #Palestinian state. blogs.timesofisrael.com/a-new-middle... #Israel #MideastPeace

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I got discharged during basic training in 2002… but every year NFCU sends me an email like this. *shrug* The accounts and interest rates are 🔥and I’m lucky to have such a great financial institution to still be a member of

It’s antisemitism, full stop. It’s not clever. It’s not strategic. It’s a festering mix of arrogance, ignorance, and insecurity wrapped up in one grotesque sentence. blogs.timesofisrael.com/trumps-stupi... #Trump #Mamdani #NYCMayoralElection @nytimes.com @timesofisrael.com

Just finished up a blog post for @timesofisrael.com about my thoughts on the 30th anniversary of Rabin’s assassination. How as a 14 year old midwestern kid it was the first assassination to really affect me. I’ll share a link when it’s posted! I’m proud of it.

Ending on a double play means 1991 is still the greatest World Series

It is not our obligation to perfect the world, but neither may we desist from the effort.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

We can be furious at the status quo. We can be relentless for Palestinian rights. We can also be immovable in defense of Jewish life and safety. Anything less is cowardice. blogs.timesofisrael.com/you-can-be-l...

I’m saying this as a liberal Jew… if a genocide stops when you release hostages, it was not ever a genocide.

None of this is guaranteed. Hamas could still dismiss the proposal, Netanyahu could stall, and the foreign ministers could retreat under domestic pressures.

Palestinian leader confirms sweeping welfare reforms, ending the decades-old “pay-to-slay” stipends in a bid to ease tensions and rebuild trust with Israel and international donors. open.substack.com/pub/donkeybu... #Abbas #UNGA #IsraelPalestine #MiddleEastPeace #PayToSlay

Administration officials frame this as a win for “academic freedom” and “cultural exchange.” Don’t buy it. #TrumpAdministration blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-court-je...

The problem isn’t just hypocrisy. It’s what this hypocrisy signals about the value system of the American right. open.substack.com/pub/donkeybu...

Trump choosing to lower flags for Charlie Kirk while not doing so for the victims of recent school shootings feels deeply out of step with the gravity of those tragedies. It sends a message about whose lives are recognized as worthy of national mourning, and that discrepancy is painful to many.
