This is beyond horrifying. New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Among them: • 380,000 infants under 5 • 99,000 children over 5 That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel. Israel isn’t “defending itself.” It is wiping out Palestinian life.

I don’t tweet much these days but I’ve watched this many times. It leaves me angry. How dare he. There is a serious attempt to exaggerate racial tensions in Ireland. They barely exist. The justified frustration of Irish people has been fomented by the deafness of our

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
