In what universe does making products in U.S. Federal Prison factories “represent American manufacturing at its best.”? Why is the @CommerceGov promoting U.S. prison factories at @SelectUSA this week?

I was honored to be part of two teams that received Loeb awards for breaking news and investigative journalism last night, along with many, many of my talented colleagues. It was fun to celebrate some remarkable reporting after so much hard work!
Fresh off the first win of the night, Ana Swanson reflects on breaking @nytimes' story about Liberation Day, which was "consequential for the world, American consumers and businesses." #LoebAwards

Happy first day of fall! 🍂
Shopping for new fall fashion? In FY25, @CBP seized over $156 million worth of counterfeit clothing/wearing apparel, and $92 million worth of counterfeit footwear. These illegitimate items cost American jobs and are made with inferior and potentially harmful materials.

Very cool! For its American Foundry Collection, Korchmar went beyond the typical ‘Made in USA’ standard, following the military’s stricter Berry Amendment criteria: gulfshorelife.com/style/loca…

WWI service members receive new headstones honoring their religious heritage
ABMC in coordination with @OperBenjamin and in the presence of @USAmbFrance changed out five Latin cross headstones to Stars of David at Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery.
Headstone changes were done at the request of the service members’ families who, along with Operation Benjamin, presented the required research to ABMC to warrant the change.
The ceremony honored Pvt. Samuel Tamkin, Pfc. Barney Bardman, Pvt. Samuel A. Backer, Pvt. Hyman Aronoff, and Pfc. Maurice W. Akabas.

So saddened to learn of the passing of industry giant Doris Fisher, who founded GAP along her late husband nearly 60 years ago. BDE. May her memory continue to be for a blessing.

Eighty-one years ago, 2LT Howard Feldman was killed in action at just 21 years old, days before WWII ended.
Though his Jewish identity was documented, he was buried beneath a Latin Cross for nearly 77 years.
In 2022, his headstone was corrected to a Star of David, restoring the truth.
Howard Feldman was an American airman and a Jewish soldier. Today, his grave reflects both.
Watch the ceremony below:

It was my honor to welcome Ahmed Al-Ahmed to the Capitol today.
Ahmed is the brave hero who stopped the vicious antisemitic terrorist attacker in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah. He is still recovering from his wounds.
Antisemitism must be confronted and defeated wherever it appears, and we continue to pray for those who grieve the loss of their loved ones because of the horrific attack at Bondi Beach.
