Mayor Mamdani’s first day in office and he’s managed to get condemned by <checks notes> the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
There’s a good reason the US and dozens of other countries and cities have adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism. When leaders move to revoke it, like what happened today in New York, it should alarm everyone—especially as violence against Jews is dangerously escalating.

Thank you, @robbystarbuck, for bringing attention to this update. Government bureaucracies should never coerce doctors or families into accepting vaccines or penalize physicians for respecting patient choice. That practice ends now. Under the Trump administration, HHS will

The antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach targeting a Jewish Hanukkah gathering was an act of terror. Hatred of Jews is increasingly emboldened and violent. Antisemitism must be named, confronted, and crushed wherever it appears. Our hearts are with the victims and their families.

I like to ask @DeptVetAffairs employees: What’s something you have to do that you think is just stupid? They laugh at first, but then they answer, and we fix it. @NEWSMAX

I was highly disappointed to read the recent Washington Post piece that blatantly indicated veterans are scamming benefits at a high rate. @zacharyebell and @Fat_Electrician break down everything that was wrong with this “reporting” and I’m here for it. 90% of my clinical

I visited our injured National Guardsmen in the hospital today. My heart breaks for them, their families, and those impacted by the horrific attack in our Nation’s capital. Every one of our National Guardsmen made a courageous decision to serve their community and their nation.

Nearly everyday I see the National Guard in DC. I often make sure to thank them. They have always been kind, professional, and gracious. Crime HAS gone down. A nearby street is no longer covered in glass from car break-ins every weekend. Gangs of masked men on bikes in a nearby
