💔 Our hearts are broken. Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky — two young Israeli embassy staffers and cherished members of the AJC community — were murdered while leaving an AJC event in Washington, D.C., last night. They were stolen from us. They had their entire lives ahead of them. Sarah, an American from Overland Park, Kansas, was warm and compassionate, committed to peacebuilding, and passionate about sustainability and people-to-people relations. Yaron always had a smile on his face and a welcoming presence. He had reportedly bought a ring and was planning to ask Sarah to marry him in Jerusalem next week. Words cannot adequately express our sorrow. We mourn with Sarah and Yaron’s families, their friends, and all who loved them. May their memories be a blessing.

Sen. Ossoff: Who out there in the American public is sitting at home demanding that we shut down cancer research and Alzheimer's research?

I am deeply disappointed by the Florida Legislature’s vote to ban fluoride from tap water, a decision that disregards the guidance of dentists, doctors, and medical experts. Ending fluoridation will have long-lasting impact on health—especially for our most vulnerable families.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR 🔥

Happy Opening Day! Go Rays!

Beautiful day in Plant City at the Florida Strawberry Festival with my little strawberries!

My support for Ukraine is unwavering. The UK stands with you, @ZelenskyyUa.

@JimmyPatronis Walter Graham was a kind man and dedicated public servant. I was privileged to know him and work with him at DFS. May his memory be a blessing.

With a heavy heart, I recognize Walter Graham’s passing as the head of Florida’s Unclaimed Property Division for over two decades. In his honor, we’ll dedicate the state’s Unclaimed Property Vault. His lasting impact on returning billions of dollars to Floridians is recognized. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time. ❤️

@NLVWarren crazy!

This is insane. The department’s job is is solely ministerial - to check if the candidate’s form is complete. This is a gross departure from the law and very disturbing.

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson — who sat in the courtroom during Trump's arraignment in Washington — becomes the latest federal judge to speak out on Jan. 6 pardons. "Patriotism is loyalty to country and loyalty to the Constitution – not loyalty to a single head of state."

Dr. King reminded us that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Our commitment to service and the pursuit of justice continues.

1/ We unequivocally condemn Pres. Trump's issuance of 1,500 pardons and commuted sentences for Jan 6 insurrectionists, including leaders & members of extremist groups. This decision undermines accountability & risks reinvigorating violent extremists and other insurrectionists. 🧵
