Love seeing my community rising up to challenge our representative. I feel a little bad for his comms director, but she chose her team and this is what happens when you choose poorly.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

What Trump is attempting to do to Ukraine is disgusting, an atrocity that will echo through history. I also get a powerful sense that Trump's anger is very personal, directed at Zelensky for daring to stand up for his people against Putin and now Trump himself.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Top USAID officials are trying to create a false narrative that life-saving aid has continued despite Trump’s blanket halt to foreign aid. Our @nytimes.com reporting shows the exact opposite. USAID even issued an internal email to stop applications for waivers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...
