Fighter. Winner. Leader. I spoke up against discrimination on the GA House floor. I worked across the aisle to pass GA's antisemitism bill. Voters: 58% - widest House Dem margin in HD51 history. I kept delivering: Led Dems for IVF protection into law. secure.actblue.com/donate/re… #HD51 #gapol

HUGE: KIND founder and Shark @DanielLubetzky says Semafor's CEO once bragged to him about getting millions from Qatar to "train journalists," for work costing a tiny fraction of that. He says it felt to him like a bribe. Exactly what my thread laid out.

Watch out America… a new Abdul El-Sayed campaign ad just dropped and this time Dave Smith and Ana Kasparian are the stars.

They called it apartheid. The ballot box called them liars. Arab and Muslim parties are winning 17 seats in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Arab turnout was above 70% in town after town. Wait, I thought Zionists were racist, so how come these “racists” are giving parliamentary seats to Arabs and Muslims, who, in turn, came out to vote? Some villages hit 90% turnout. They democratically participated and voted in a Zionist democratic system they believe in? Arabs now hold about 14% of Israel’s parliament. Muslim MPs hold about 4% of Britain’s. Odd kind of apartheid, where the “oppressed” vote harder than London does.

⚠️ Qatar’s global propaganda machine continues to grow. Qatar uses its propaganda empire to undermine US interests and Western society as a whole. Qatar is not our friend.
Next time someone tells you that Semafor provides reliable analysis of the Middle East, show them this. Open collusion.

My values, my identity and my community are far more important to me than any individual election result. Regardless, it’s widely understood that I lost in my particular district for the same reasons this ad is repugnant, blatantly false, and incites even more violence against Jews. And sadly, you consistently add fuel to this slanderous and anti-Jewish fire.

The claim that QFI only had "Arabic language teaching aids available to download from their website," is disingenuous. See one example below of a lesson shared on QFI's resource page that downplayed the terrorism that led to the murder of 3,000 Americans on 9/11. web.archive.org/web/20220708…

The truth about Qatar. Actual facts cited. Thank you @FDD. #gapol
1/ Former Education Secretary and registered foreign agent, William J. Bennett wrote an op-ed downplaying Qatar’s influence in U.S. K-12 education. A thread 🧵

FACT: The annual funding Israel receives from the US amounts to less than one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. Less than 1/10th of 1%. FACT: That annual funding would cover only a few hours of federal health care spending. A few hours. Yet politicians who specialize in scapegoating would have you believe that Israel is responsible for America’s affordability crisis. Like every form of scapegoating before it, it is a dangerous lie.

Hamad Al-Muftah at 9:53AM: "Hopefully, your network complies with FARA registration requirements one day." Hamad at 12:30PM: "Your network? I didn’t mention anything about your network… Interesting you’re acknowledging you’re part of that network." Qatar always lies.

You're back! After you lost #gapol HB 1379, I figured you'd sit this one out. I called out a Qatari lobbyist for not disclosing in an opinion column because it sought to mislead readers into thinking he was a neutral party. Your move? Suggest my "network" needs FARA registration—while admitting Bennett is "working 24/7 with the embassy." Mr. Deputy Ambassador of Qatar, you are quite literally the foreign influence. You're also really bad at proving your points but really good at proving mine.
Replying to @epanitch
Secretary, Bennett said at the beginning of article “I expected criticism when I agreed to consult with the Embassy of Qatar on its education initiatives, but I didn’t anticipate this torrent of falsehoods.” We’re very proud that Secretary Bennett is among the consultants working 24/7 with the emabssy to debunk the anti-Qatar–U.S. relationship network. Hopefully, your network complies with FARA registration requirements one day. teapaw.org/hmmm1983/status/211407…

The Hill just published an op-ed defending Qatar without divulging that its author, William Bennett, is a registered foreign agent of Doha. This should be illegal, with serious consequences for the outlets, agents, and foreign principals that fail to disclose this

El-Sayed now has the distinction of utilizing two of the most prominent antisemitic podcasters as surrogates -- on the far left and far right:
🧲 NEW @jewishinsider via @marcrod97: "New El-Sayed ad features Tucker Carlson, far-right podcaster’s attack on Mike Rogers" "El-Sayed’s last-minute pitch to the MAGA base comes as Rogers has made inroads with Democratic voters" jewishinsider.com/2026/10/ne…

Look at all that “grassroots” Big Tech funding going to anti-American DSA candidates! They’re so against “corporate money!” 🙄 These people are lying frauds through and through.

You can't appease a movement whose objection is you. J Street ran its largest-ever super PAC campaign against AIPAC but still gets counted as AIPAC. TrackAIPAC lists Sen. Ossoff, who has taken $0 from AIPAC, because J Street funds him. J Street refuses to learn that it's the joke. The movement they courted doesn't object to AIPAC's tactics. It objects to American Jews who support Israel — any Israel, any borders. #gapol

The New York Times has a new piece asking how much of the opposition to Abdul El-Sayed is anti-Muslim. Honestly, some of it is. But some of it isn't, and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. I don't care what his mother did in Egypt in the 1970s, and it’s not his responsibility what a half-sister he wasn't raised with has posted, including her praise of the 7 October massacres. But I do care that El Sayed did sign a letter supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in 2012. Pointing out he did that is not bigotry. When a man drove his truck into a Michigan synagogue with 140 children inside, El-Sayed condemned it, then released a video the next day explaining that 'hurt people hurt people' because the attacker's relatives (Hezbollah members) had been killed in Lebanon. He apologised five months later, during an election campaign, but reminding people what he said at first isn't bigotry either. He has repeatedly declined to say whether Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state, and when he condemns terror groups like Hamas and the regime in Iran, it tends to come with a 'but.' We can condemn anti-Muslim sentiment without ignoring antisemitism. It's not hard.

There are two kinds of Jews in the world today. The first comes to Israel to pick fruits and vegetables in the south after October 7 left the country without any workers to harvest the agricultural fields. The second comes to Israel to pick confrontations and provocations for photo ops and a few likes in the land where most of the people cheered on October 7. Only one of these groups will still be here when the current psychosis the world is experiencing is over. I’ll leave it to you to guess which one, but I'll give you a hint: search the phrase "what happened to the bund?"
