It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year.
May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing.
May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured.
And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

We’re closing in on two decades of Republicans telling you, in no uncertain terms, that they do not care about kids being shot dead. In schools, in movie theaters, at church, in the street. They. Do. Not. Care. But hey, at least they’re good at racism and destroying the economy, amirite.

“It’s not even a significant drug source. The boats aren't even headed to the US. This is entirely concocted — about as truthful as Hitler’s claim that the Poles attacked him in 1939."

It was one of the most brutal failures of the president’s second term. To hear Trump tell it, this fiasco wasn’t a big deal.
