We have lost some employees. They have resigned after being robbed. Some of them are still out and have not come back because of the post Traumatic Stress of being robbed. Postal inspectors are also asking for help after another mail carrier was attacked and this time robbed of their mail keys yesterday afternoon. They shared these photos with us, which they believe this was the car used by the suspects in the robbery. Now, the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in for suspects in both of these cases has been set at 150,000 for folks living in the Mission District.

Jobina is live with the president s message. Jobina. Thank you, kumasi. President biden says support for israel and ukraine during the wars is vital for Americas National security. From his oval office, he told the American People, quote, if we walk away from ukraine, if we turn our backs on israel, its just not worth it. As for that 105 billion aid package, 60 billion would go to ukraine and 14 billion to israel. The rest would go toward Border Security and aid for several other countries. The president says the aid will have a generational impact. It is a smart investment. Thats going to pay dividends for American Security for generations. Help us keep american troops out of harms way. Help us build a world that is safer, more peaceful and more prosperous for our children and grandchildren. As tensions rise overseas, the president urged the public to retain American Values of free speech and religious practice. He denounced antisemitism and islamophobia.

Governor newsom will be in china for a week long tour focused on the countrys Climate Change policies. The council on americanislamic relations is calling on state and National Officials to support a cease fire, humanize the palestinian people, because in these one sided responses, we continue to hear loud and clear that palestinian lives dont matter as much as israeli lives.

That resolution has gotten pushed back, including from other democrats like congressman jim himes. He spoke about that on cnn.
