A few years back, my brother spent over a year fighting for his life in need of a full liver transplant, then through complications & a longer than expected recovery.

To stave off dialysis, (it was brutal last time & his kids shouldn't have to see him like that), he's in need of a kidney.

Permitting only half that is Israel continuing to starve the Palestinians, just more slowly and under the guise of a ceasefire.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Now the guessing game of if the nice new running socks I just ordered, which take 2 business days for the order to process and 3 to 7 business days after that to arrive, will arrive before I go on my runDisney trip in 11 calendar days.

Look, anyone is better than Collins but do we really need more candidates entering Senate races as they approach the age of 80 and there are youthful and exciting candidates to get behind?
