My @Newsweek #TheDiplomat podcast interview with @GreenblattJD went to air this week. If you haven't listened yet, I hope you will. This was a rare opportunity for me to speak of the cold shoulder my wife and I get from Washington in our quest for justice art19.com/shows/the-dipl…
That @Newsweek/@GreenblattJD interview came on the heels of another rare opportunity to speak about how being suppressed and ignored in Washington feels to parents pursuing American justice. The @J_Insider Jewish Insider #LimitedLiability podcast is here: jewishinsider.com/2022/09/limite…
Sincere thanks for their fine and worthy work to @BergelTori @jarrodbernstein and @rich_goldberg at @J_Insider.
