Democratic critics of Israel’s war in Gaza are struggling to maintain attention for the cause under President Donald Trump, despite Israel continuing to escalate its war effort and a mounting death toll that has surpassed 55,000 civilians. “There’s so much going on it’s literally hard to juggle 50 bombs,” Rep.

I’ve always prided myself on being the kind of music consumer who purchased music on impulse. When I stumbled across “Things Here Are Different,” Jill Sobule’s 1990 MCA Records debut album on vinyl in a favorite Chicago record store, I bought it without knowing anything about her.
