Thank you @RepAOC, @amyspitalnick, & @stacyburdettDC for leading this important conversation on antisemitism. Although we may disagree about the current situation in Israel, we must work together to call out antisemitism wherever & whenever we see it. youtube.com/watch?v=MrqNFcrL…

You are proud of this? "Al-Qassam, make us proud, take another soldier out,” anti-Israel demonstrators chanted on Friday night... “We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground. Go Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets too.” m.jpost.com/diaspora/antisem…

I am enormously proud of my daughter @israhirsi. She has always led with courage and compassion, from organizing a statewide school walk out on the 20th anniversary of Columbine at the age of 15, to leading the biggest youth climate rally at our nation’s Capitol at 16, and now pushing her school to stand against genocide. Stepping up to change what you can’t tolerate is why we as a country have the right to speech, assembly, and petition enshrined in our constitution.

That's like saying "When I called that black person the 'N word,' it wasn't an insult. I meant it as a compliment." NO. Those words mean was Hamas says they mean. To say different is to play your audience as fools. We are not fools.

From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.

Congresswoman with all due respect, that's like saying "Calling an Arab a terrorist is not an insulting stereotype because I meant something else when I said it." There are lots of ways to call for freedom and human rights w/o sharing a slogan w/Hamas re destruction of Israel.

🚨For the 4th day in a row, the @IDF opened an evacuation corridor for civilians in northern Gaza to move southwards. Since 10:00 am today, thousands of Gazans passed through. The corridor will be open until 14:00 so that Gazans in the north can evacuate for their safety.

Reminds me of a guy we defeated in the 1940’s who wasn’t afraid to share his opinions, no matter how intense and in-your-face they were. Too bad you couldn’t interview him, @LesleyRStahl, you could have asked him about his vegetarianism and his love of dogs.

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, nicknamed MTG, isn’t afraid to share her opinions, no matter how intense and in-your-face they are. She sits down with Lesley Stahl this Sunday on 60 Minutes. 60Minutes.com

He may not be the original, but we can’t allow the pathological lying of @Santos4Congress (if that's even his real name) to become even more normalized in our politics. He said he’ll resign if enough people ask - so game on. Sign the petition! country1st.com/santos

Merry Christmas @20Hojo! I was going thru some stuff tonight & found this from a big benefit softball game at Keyspan Park, probably 2004 or so. I remember Ed Charles, Teufel, Seaver & Jim Palmer were there too.

If Vindman had not spoken out at the risk of his career, Ukraine might have been cut off by a vengeful President Trump from the US aid it needed to prepare its defense against Putin's impending invasion. Which is why enemies of Ukraine and democracy hate Vindman so much.

Maybe if @KariLake loses she should try storming the Capitol. That’s always a great loser’s play

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵

Historians will look back on this political/election cycle & wonder how Democrats & the media allowed the Republican Party to just *move on* from the criminal catastrophe & scandal of January 6th, 2021, to rehabilitate themselves, and then win back power in less than *2 years*.
