BREAKING: The FBI has foiled a major Islamist terror plot targeting multiple synagogues in America. The suspects — all based in Dearborn, Michigan — planned to massacre Jews on U.S. soil. Another chilling reminder: Islamist terror isn’t just abroad. It’s here.

Our country is suffering from "an erosion of a deterrence against violence" where "political violence is not necessarily taboo anymore." It's a "seismic shift in American democracy." Alongside @hoffman_bruce on the terrific @TIB_Pod with @AmyMcGrathKY.

🚨Masked pro-Palestine students disrupted Michael Ben Gad’s lessons today, screaming ‘free free Palestine’ at him as he attempted to teach his economics class. Their campaign of harassment started because Michael is an Israeli who did his mandatory military service decades ago.
