I met so many legislators this week and they were all very down to earth. Rep. Dan Goldman and Rep. Jared Moskowitz were definitely among my favorites.

I got emotional listening to both Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and American representatives from the Hostages and Missing Families forum at a JDCA event. As I went up to talk to Orna and Ronen Neutra following the talk, I could barely get words out of my mouth. BRING THEM HOME NOW.

Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA is about Vietnam Veterans facing economic hardship juxtaposed against the patriotic glorification of American troops. Ironic?

All my DNC photos are on Insta but the most emotional that I got this week was listening to the American members of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. This is a bipartisan humanitarian issue and we need to BRING THEM HOME NOW.

Four more events today and then my DNC will wrap for the week. Unless I somehow manage to snag a ticket for tonight, which is probably unlikely.

We live in a world where antisemitism is so bad to the point in which locations for Jewish events during political conventions are not announced until very last minute so as to prevent protesters or other threats.

Given that an entertainment outlet hasn't paid for freelance work since a very small installment in April and I'm not making much as a writer right now, I'm probably going to be filing for bankruptcy. I've applied for non-writing jobs but there's been no luck on that front.

Day 3 of the DNC. It's been a fun two days of attending sideline events. Well, aside from Hostage Square because nothing about having to set that up is fun. Hamas should never have breached the border, killed Israelis, or taken hostages. EVERYONE should be focused on pressuring Hamas right now.

Every member of Congress and the U.S. Senate that I met today were down to earth, especially Dan Goldman. Meanwhile, I got to wish Brad Schneider a happy birthday ON his birthday.

I stand up against anti-Jewish hate. It has no place in America and I'm disgusted that protesters were targeting JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS today in Chicago. That's not anti-Zionism. That's anti-Jewish hate and it has no home in America. Period.

David O. Russell will direct Nicolas Cage in a biopic about football commentator John Madden. Here's EVERYTHING you need to know about the filmmaker and why I'm not going to watch the film!
