This is the last completely Christian village in the Holy Land. This is what Israel just did to it. Are you going to do anything about it, Ambassador Huckabee? @USAmbIsrael
BREAKING: Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine. A village that has stood for thousands of years. A place where Jesus once walked. Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world. And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

New ad with $600k behind it is out, backing @DarializaforNY. It features Noor Khalil, Mahmoud Khalil's wife, talking about how Adriano Espaillat abandoned them when Mahmoud was snatched. Constituent service matters! This is from the anti-AIPAC super PAC

We welcome the North American Islamic Trust’s creation of the Resilience and Protection Waqf, a multi-million-dollar endowment fund designed to protect houses of worship, counter hate and support impacted families in the wake of the terror attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego. As part of this effort, CAIR is partnering with NAIT to arrange regional safety trainings conducted by security experts for mosques, Islamic private schools and other faith-based institutions across the country. To catalyze this massive national effort, NAIT has committed to matching all public campaign contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000,000 (One Million Dollars), aiming to build a multi-million-dollar foundational safety net.

“New York elected officials who chose to march in the Israel Parade alongside genocidal leaders like Bezalel Smotrich and ignore the Israeli government’s ongoing crimes against humanity should apologize to their constituents and to all people of conscience." READ: tinyurl.com/2vfnyfbd
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not attend the city’s Israel Day parade, becoming the first mayor in its 61-year history not to take part. It was attended by NY Senator Chuck Schumer, governor Kathy Hochul, and Israel’s extremist finance minister Smotrich who calls for “total annihilation” of Gaza and other right-wing Israeli officials.

I just left the Islamic Center of San Diego where I met with some of our Muslim community leaders to chart our path forward to honor the men we lost in the shooting and fully support and protect our Muslim community and their sacred spaces. We’re in this together.

Brad Lander could help fill the void in Congress that was left by Andy Levin, the progressive Jewish Congressman from Michigan who was brought down by AIPAC in 2022. Lander and Levin alike stand for the kind of Jewish-Muslim/Arab unity that is key to forging a brighter future.

You should hear me chant in Hebrew! Surah Ikhlas speaks to the one-ness of God, and it’s what I offer when I visit a mosque. It’s comparable in important ways to the Shema, one of the central prayers in Jewish liturgy, which also declares that God is one. In fact, the Hebrew word for one, “Echad,” is the same as the Arabic word, “Achad.” But here’s David Frum telling me to pipe down about it in a way that manages to be antisemitic and Islamophobic at the same time.
Frum is both out of his depth and lying about Muslims as usual. Lander beautifully recited Surah Ikhlas, one of the most famous chapters of the Quran which affirms the oneness of God. It says nothing about Christianity and is an affirmation of monotheism: quran.com/al-ikhlas

When it comes to members of Congress, nobody did more than Summer Lee, who came across the state to be the first member to endorse Rabb, recruited others to join, and even brought her staff into it to help build his operation. Huge PA win for Lee.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

So excited to announce that our campaign is endorsed by @BernieSanders! I am running to fund healthcare, not bombs, to abolish ICE, and to unrig our economy. In Congress, I'll fight right alongside Bernie to defeat fascism and deliver for working people.

Senator Sanders is right. And it’s happening in GA-13 right now. Crypto super PACs just dropped over $2 million to buy this Democratic primary. I won’t take a dime from them. I won’t take corporate PAC money. I won’t take AIPAC money. This seat is not for sale.
AIPAC, AI & crypto are undermining democracy as they plan to spend over $500M in 2026. While we fight to overturn Citizens United, Democrats must get their own house in order and ban super PACs in their primaries. One person one vote. Billionaires should not buy elections.
