A pleasure to venture north to Toronto to visit with the Canada Ireland Foundation team and share lessons of the development of the new @IrishArtsCenter as they develop The Corleck with the support of @IrlAmbCanada and the Irish government. 🎶☘️🍁🍎

Musk’s goal of cutting $2T of federal spending is completely unrealistic, especially considering Trump has promised not to cut Medicare and Social Security. @Morning_Joe

The Consul General was delighted to attend @IrishArtsCenter’s 15th annual PoetryFest, which kicked off with the “Favorite Poems” event. It was a wonderful celebration of poets from Ireland and the US, and a great weekend of cultural connection through poetry.

Tonight’s 25th annual #SpiritofIrelandGala honored Meryl Streep and Board Chair Shaun Kelly, and celebrated three years in the new IAC, during which we have presented more than 600 artists to more than 50,000 audiences. We thank all our supporters—we couldn’t do this without you.

Senator George Mitchell gave a spirited defense of the extraordinary contributions of immigrants to America speaking at the Irish Arts Center Gala on Friday night in N.Y. He instanced the extraordinary impact of Steve Jobs --father from Syria -Jeff Bezos, father from Cuba and Google co-founder Sergey Brin from Russia as examples of what emigrants can achieve. Imagine America without Apple, Amazon and Google.Yet anti immigrant sentiment is rampant in America.

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62.
Time to rebuild the left.
We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.

Thank you, @culture_ireland 🫶

1. As the third and final electoral verdict on Donald Trump - and a potential generational shift to Kamala Harris - this election will do much to determine the future of US foreign policy and how the world looks at us.

On CNN SOTU, Sen. John Fetterman pushes back on GOP transgender ads blanketing the state. "It doesn't make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids. It just makes you an asshole."
