To avoid confusion, weโ€™ll simply refer to them as: Dan Sullivan ื Dan Sullivan ื‘ And future U.S. Senator Mary Peltola. Problem solved
News: Sen. Dan Sullivan is threatening legal action against the other Dan Sullivan running for Senate, accusing him of being a plant for Schumer and Mary Peltola โ€œThey all orchestrated this on purpose to confuse Alaskans.. these guys are purposely trying to trick my constituents to rig, and I don't use that lightly, rig an election in favor of my opponent.โ€

The mosque has been there since 2016. It has coexisted with the neighboring Orthodox Jewish girlsโ€™ school ever since without incident In NYC, countless Orthodox Jewish outdoor religious events take place every year, for example Kiddush Levana, Tashlich, Hachnasat Sefer Torah, and chuppahs, often in shared public space near mosques and churches, as it should be in a free city. Manufacturing hysteria and fearmongering, even for social media clicks, is dangerous Islamophobia and antisemitism feed off each other. City Council member @innaVernikov should know better
This is an ALL GIRLS Jewish school in my district. Iโ€™m all for prayer and free speech, but why do a bunch of GROWN MEN need to do this right outside of a school full of little Jewish girls??? Is not this what MOSQUES are for? Is this intentional? Mayor Mamdani @NYCMayor any words of wisdom on why all of a sudden theyโ€™d feel compelled to do this?

This plot targeting Jewish New Yorkers and communities across the world is horrific. Iโ€™m grateful to the @NYPDnews and federal law enforcement for their swift response to this and Iโ€™m relieved that everyone is safe. Hate has no home in New York. nytimes.com/2026/05/15/nyregโ€ฆ

Thank you @NYCmayor Zohran Mamdani for addressing the antisemitic incident at NYU swiftly and speaking out against it. Antisemitism must have no home anywhereโ€”not now, not ever
I am outraged that a swastika flag was raised overlooking Washington Square Park. This hateful antisemitic act was meant to spread fear among and intimidate Jewish New Yorkers. It has no place in our city. Our administration is committed to fighting antisemitism in all its forms and protecting the safety of Jewish New Yorkers. The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this despicable act, and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

Congratulations to Michael Kay on his appointment as the new CEO of @UJAfedNY. I donโ€™t know him personally, but I love the idea of a teacher and head of a school appointed to lead one of the most important NY Jewish organizations and the worldโ€™s largest local Jewish philanthropy
Weโ€™re thrilled to announce that Dr. Michael A. Kay has been appointed as UJAโ€™s new Chief Executive Officer, effective October 5. He succeeds Eric S. Goldstein, who will step down after 12 years as CEO. Read our statement here: ujafedny.org/news/dr-michaelโ€ฆ

Score one for the good guys!!
WOW!!!! An Israeli breakthrough just crushed pancreatic cancer. Alpha Tauโ€™s Alpha DaRT targeted alpha-radiation therapy just delivered 100% local Disease Control Rate in heavily pretreated patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma โ€” the deadliest form โ€” at DDW 2026 this weekend. Stable disease or better in every single evaluable patient. No hype. Real data from Jerusalem trials. One of the toughest cancers on earth just met its match. Score one for the good guys. #AlphaTau #PancreaticCancer #CancerResearch #HopeStartsHere #STANDWITHISRAEL

Incredible. Hopefully this will rid the world of this devastating disease, pancreatic cancer
A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers. Learn more: mayocl.in/4eippBP

Great work by the officers of @NYPD90Pct and the amazing volunteers of @WspuShomrim. Thank you for keeping our community safe
On Friday, officers of the @nypd90pct arrested a person for assaulting three Williamsburg residents. The incident is being investigated as a hate crime. Thank you to the NYPD for keeping the community safe, and to our Shomrim volunteers for their swift response and dedication

This evening marks Yom HaShoah, where we honor and remember the six million Jews who were killed and the survivors whose lives were never the same. We say their names and tell their stories. We must stand united to fight antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

Shlissel challah: (Key challah) an Ashkenazi tradition for the first Shabbos after Pesach. The dough is shaped like a key or a real key is inserted in the challah loaf before baking. Shabbat Shalom

Eliot Engel, who served in Congress from 1989 to 2020, died today at age 79. He spent decades serving people. He helped save and restore countless Jewish cemeteries across Europe and stood up against antisemitism wherever it reared its ugly head. May his memory be a blessing

The Sunday New York Times wrote a terrific profile of my friend of 25 years, @jacobkornbluh. Jacob is not only one of the best journalists out there, brilliant at his craft, but also one of the nicest and kindest people you will ever meet nytimes.com/2026/02/01/nyregโ€ฆ

On this day, 81 years ago, the Nazi Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army. Millions of children, women, and men were murdered there during the Holocaust for no crime other than being Jewish. This dark chapter of history is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of hatred and prejudice. Humanity owes it to every victim and survivor to ensure that it never happens again. Never forget where hatred can lead #HolocaustRemembranceDay
