Donald lit up the room with his smile, his kindness, his wardrobe, and his legendary one-minute floor speeches. He always used his position to be a voice for those who didn’t have one.
His passing is an enormous loss and he will be sorely missed in Congress.
It's clear from our conversation that Pres. Shafik understands that she must end the unacceptable treatment of Jewish students at Columbia, regardless of whatever demands or threats are made.
I am hopeful that she will take immediate action to do so by enforcing school policies.
Thank you, President Shafik, for joining the conference call that
@RepJerryNadler
and I hosted today with members of the New York congressional delegation to discuss concerns at
@Columbia
University.
Ensuring the safety and security of Jewish students on campus is our priority.
It's been hard to be Jewish these past 6 mos but adversity hasn't stopped us before and won’t this time either.
As we gather to celebrate Passover, we add a special prayer for the families without their loved ones at their Seder table for the first time.
In unity, chag sameach.
No student should live in fear on campus. The antisemitism and hate toward Jews, including threats of violence, that we are witnessing is unconscionable. Colleges and universities, along with their leadership, must do better.
BREAKING: White House statement on anti-Israel protests at Columbia University:
“While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and…
The situation at Columbia Univ is unacceptable. While everyone has a 1st Amendment right to protest, students do not have a right to threaten violence and cause fear within the Jewish community on campus.
@Columbia
and
@NYPDPC
must ensure a safe environment for all students.
Hamas once again rejected an Israeli ceasefire offer supported by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States.
The obstacle to a ceasefire is not Israel — it’s Hamas, the savage terrorist organization holding 133 hostages, including 8 Americans.
#PressureHamas
It was a pleasure to join
@thepondering_
to discuss the baseless partisan impeachment of President Biden, Republican dysfunction, and the threat of Trump’s extremism.
Check out the interview below!
Rs are using this baseless impeachment of
@SecMayorkas
to jam Senate business & endanger national security.
Aid to Ukraine, to Israel, & FISA re-authorization have been put at risk by this affront to the Constitution, which the Senate must not legitimize.
More in my op-ed below
ALERT: Listen to my conversation with
@danielsgoldman
about the importance of Ukraine aid, and the possibility of getting the gavel back before the election! Free wherever you get your podcasts:
Trump is charged with using an elaborate scheme to pay a porn star to avoid uncovering their affair 3 weeks before an election. He's on trial for undermining our free & fair elections.
This is a chance to see the rule of law at work—the same laws applying to everyone in the U.S.
Trump fell asleep at his OWN criminal trial.
Imagine the nap he would take if he were in the Situation Room listening to a briefing that relates to … anything other than himself.
Haberman: Trump appeared to be asleep. His head would fall down… He didn’t pay attention to a note his lawyer passed him. His jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack.
Tonight

The

, and no one is more excited than my daughter, who got to meet her favorite, Caitlin Clark.
Congratulations to all of tonight’s picks – this is your night!
The Israel-Hamas War has always been a snapshot of a much larger struggle between Iran and its terror proxies — and increasingly Russia and China — and western democracy.
This is how Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan are interconnected and must all receive our support immediately.
Voter fraud isn’t a thing, especially involving noncitizens. The tiny number of incidents has no impact on an election. And when it has happened, Republicans are the culprits.
Republicans can’t win elections with their bad ideas and policies, so they resort to voter suppression.
NYC will receive an additional $40m from the Biden Admin to reimburse us for providing support to migrants seeking a better life.
I welcome the new funding but it's not enough. Unfortunately, Rs cut funding for the only program providing this support.
Remember that in November.
NEW: Today, DHS, through
@FEMA
and
@CBP
, announced $300 million in grants through the Shelter and Services Program, which was authorized by Congress to support communities that are providing services to migrants. Learn more:
Like Donald Trump,
@KariLake
’s only principle is to say whatever she needs to say for her own political purposes.
When someone flip-flops so quickly and fully on an issue as significant as abortion, that person simply can’t be trusted on anything.
FLIP-FLOP ALERT: Once a cheerleader for Arizona’s "great law" prohibiting abortion, Kari Lake now singing a different tune, labeling it a "personal and private issue."
Trump is an unrepentant liar. His actions speak louder than his empty promises.
He enabled and celebrated the Dobbs decision allowing these disastrous rulings and draconian laws to be enacted.
This is just another lie for his own political gain. By now, we see right through it.
