When we remember the names of Bondi Beach - victims, survivors, perpetrators - let’s remember, too, this hero: Ahmed al-Ahmed.
A Muslim Australian fruit shop owner of Syrian descent, al-Ahmed risked his life & took 2 bullets to save Jewish strangers.

And in 2011 he built a golf course no one goes to. And lied to get it built. Destroyed beautiful sand dunes. He’s a demonic piece of hell. He will never run the world. He’s going to be gone soon. But his lackeys could cause trouble.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

During an evening celebration, Jewish families in Australia were horrifically gunned down in a vile act of terror.

California’s heart is with Australia as we stand with the Jewish community worldwide against a rising tide of antisemitic violence and hate.

Antisemitism has no place in our world.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:

✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.

My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.

This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.

More soon.
DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.
