Is there anything we can say to convince you to donate today to Mark Kelly’s campaign?
– Our opponents have ramped up their $ against us
– CNN listed Mark’s seat as one of the top 10 most likely to flip in 2022
– Mark doesn’t take a dime of corporate PAC $, so his campaign is funded by people like you, chipping in $5, $10, $20 at a time.
So respectfully we’re asking for you to donate to keep Mark in the Senate.

Mark Kelly is rejecting corporate PAC money in his campaign for Senate. Chip in today!

— The permanent new air station in Southern California will include a 4-bay hangar facility with storage for MH65T and MH60J helicopters and an administration building.
POINT MUGU, Calif. (July 23, 2021) —
The Point Mugu Naval Base Ventura County will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday, July 27, for its $53 million Coast Guard Air Station. The permanent new air station will include a 43,045-square-foot hangar facility with four bays, shops, and storage for MH65T and MH60J helicopters, as well as a 12,183-square-foot administration building.

Woolpert designed the air station and provided associated utilities, site improvements and sanitary sewer modifications. The firm also conducted bridge engineering and design to support the installation of a new concrete taxiway with asphalt-paved shoulders that will connect the new aircraft parking apron and aircraft hangar to the base’s existing NBVC Taxiway B. The concrete parking apron will include a hot refueling area and a TALON grid system to simulate U.S. Coast Guard ship tiedowns, as well as parking for 85 personal-occupancy vehicles.

The one-story hangar will have support space for storage and maintenance and will be able to be accessed via a four-panel, vertical lift fabric door with a 250-foot clear opening. The administration building will contain offices, conference rooms, a clinic and berthing functions. The project was designed to achieve LEED certification.

Woolpert Federal Design Practice Leader Joseph Bissaillon said the beddown of this air station is one of many multiple-award construction contracts that Woolpert has underway with the U.S. Coast Guard.

“We have been working coast to coast on U.S. Coast Guard projects, from Ventura County to New England, Texas and Florida,” Bissaillon said. “This air station will help the Coast Guard reestablish its permanent presence in the Los Angeles area and continue its protection of U.S. waterways, ports and shorelines. We’re honored to support these contracts and to work with a proactive and collaborative design-build team.”

The Coast Guard Air Station at Point Mugu it is scheduled to be completed in January 2023.

5/13/2021 -- Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in support of Israel in the wake of rocket attacks by Ha...

The 40-minute midnight assault involved 160 Israeli warplanes and three brigades of ground forces, including tanks, according to a spokesman for the Israeli military.

Although ground forces were involved, they did not enter Gaza, said Lt. Jonathan Conricus, contradicting a statement the night before that a ground assault on the enclave was underway.

Timeline of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Conricus said the operation targeted a sprawling system of tunnels that Hamas has spent years building underneath Gaza’s streets, raising the possibility of significant civilian casualties.

“Unlike our very elaborate efforts to clear civilian areas before we strike high-rises or large buildings inside Gaza, that wasn’t feasible this time,” he said, adding that the operation had targeted Hamas tunnels and infrastructure with “precision-guided munitions.”

Here’s what to know:
Militants in Gaza fired at least 55 rockets overnight, bringing the total to about 1,800, according to the Israeli military.
After initially saying that its troops were on the ground “in Gaza,” Israel issued a “clarification” saying that was not the case.
The death toll in Gaza climbed to 119, including 31 children, with 830 wounded, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported.
Two women died after falling while running for shelter overnight, bringing the number of people killed in Israel to eight civilians and one soldier.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue military actions “as long as necessary” and to exact “a very heavy price” on Hamas.

The 40-minute midnight assault involved 160 Israeli warplanes and three brigades of ground forces, including tanks, according to a spokesman for the Israeli military.
