The horrific, vicious settlers' attack on the @washingtonpost journalist was not only a result of the Netanyahu government's shameless acquiescence in settler terror/violence but the Trump Administration's craven unwillingness to do anything about it. washingtonpost.com/world/202…

In his craven bid to resell his rejected soul to @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk is selling out the hapless @Ukraine population by arbitrarily cutting vital StarLink power. I hope that when the Dems regain control of the House they will run Musk through the investigatory meat grinder for selling out Ukraine to curry favor with Putin’s WH poodle.

If there were a university awarding degrees in strategic, diplomatic and moral malpractice, this Administration would graduate with high honors.
🚨President Zelensky told me: "You know, it looks like a happy birthday present for Putin. It looks absolutely terrible"

Oct 7 was Israel’s Pearl Harbor AND 9/11 rolled into one historical calamity. The unfinished business is for Israel to cleanse itself of @netanyahu & his extremist govt & pound into submission the culprits in Hamas — tall orders for a nation still under siege from Iran & its decayed, but still deadly terror proxies.

Watching @netanyahu grope for any afterglow of Israeli @flydubai heroism is nothing more than another pitiful effort to avoid accountability for his government’s failure to vet the terrorist Co-pilot. Bibi’s campaign slogan should be: “Passing the buck is God’s 11th Commandment!”

According to today’s @WSJ @netanyahu received an urgent call from @MFAEgOfficial Intel Chief Abbas Kamel just days before the Hamas 2023 assault warning him of an impending attack. @netanyahu did nothing. This was a 3rd such warning received directly by @netanyahu This adds up to a cosmic cover-up. Israelis have been victimized enough by this corrupt extremist. Throw him out!!

Amb. @ambmcg): There is bipartisan support for a free Iran, and Congress must push the administration to act. Only the Iranian opposition and people can choose their leaders, but the US can support a transitional government in exile led by @Maryam_Rajavi and back the #MEKResistanceUnits. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1yxBePRmX…

I’m co-leading a bill to impose sanctions on companies that help build Israeli settlements in the E1 area of the West Bank. This legislation sends a clear message to Netanyahu: the United States stands firmly behind a two-state solution as the only path to real peace and security for all.
Today I led 29 colleagues in opposing Israel's plan for 1,234 new settlement homes in E1—construction that would cut off East Jerusalem from the West Bank and threaten a viable Palestinian state. Israel needs to halt settlement expansion and rein in settler violence. And the Trump administration should use every tool it has, including targeted sanctions, to push back. The U.S. must remain committed to a two-state solution. That's the only path to real peace and security for everyone.

Iranian presidents always receive outsized attention at the UNGA, but most are eventually swallowed—either internally or externally—by the revolutionary system they have sought to lead: 1. Abolhassan Bani-Sadr (1980-1981) was impeached, fled Iran, and died in exile in France. 2. Mohammed-Ali Rajai (1981) was assassinated after less than a month in office. 3. Ali Khamenei (1981-1989) became Supreme Leader, and was killed by the US/Israel in 2026. 4. Hashemi Rafsanjani (1989-1997) died in 2017; his family alleges he was poisoned. 5. Mohammed Khatami (1997-2005) has been under a longstanding media blackout and travel ban. 6. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2005-2013) became so aggrieved he is alleged to have collaborated with Mossad against the regime; he lives under the scrutiny of the IRGC. 7. Hassan Rouhani (2013-2021) is pilloried daily in Iran’s state media and faces a travel ban. 8. Ebrahim Raisi (2021-2024) was killed in a 2024 helicopter crash that many Iranians believe was not an accident. 9. Masoud Pezeshkian (2024-present) has thus far survived bombing attacks by Israel, as well as impeachment threats by radical forces at home. The historical precedent doesn’t bode well for him. To paraphrase Churchill, virtually every president who has tried to ride the tiger of Iran’s revolutionary politics has eventually been devoured by it.

My sincerest condolences to the family of @PeterMax. Peter was a wonderful pal & an extraordinarily generous artist who donated so much of his invaluable collection for charitable causes. His UWS Manhattan studio was a veritable artist’s amusement park. His Clinton-era paintings captured an American era of promise & opportunity. May he rest in peace.

The level of US bipartisan disgust with @netanyahu & his coddled Israeli West Bank terrorist settlers should trigger the USG designating every settler engaged in atrocities against civilian Palestinians atrocities as foreign terrorists under US law.

Hasan Piker’s dangerous and hateful language targeting Jewish Americans has no place in our civic discourse. Suggesting that Jewish Americans bear responsibility for hatred or violence directed against them is wrong, dangerous, and antisemitic. We can, and should, argue fiercely over policy. We should have meaningful dialogue and debate about the policies and actions of the Israeli government and American foreign policy. That is the lifeblood of democracy. But that’s not what this is. No American should be told that their political beliefs make them responsible for hatred or violence directed against them. There is a bright line between vigorous debate and rhetoric that stokes hatred toward our neighbors. Mr. Piker has crossed that line, repeatedly and unmistakably.

Operation Economic Fury is the correct approach as part of a broader campaign. But the strategy won’t work without Operation People’s Fury—a U.S.-led maximum support campaign to help Iranians themselves cripple the regime.

If there was a university specializing in strategic malpractice, the Trump Administration would graduate summa cum lauda.
“It has been sort of open right now,” Trump says of the Strait of Hormuz. He told @weijia that “we control it” because the Navy “can always shoot something.”

For years I have condemned Israeli gov-condoned acts of terror on the West Bank — & the buck stops with @netanyahu & his craven kowtowing to right wing extremists. Making @netanyahu pay a cost for his aiding & abetting settler terrorism that is helping to incite antisemitism is a first step to draining the swamp @netanyahu has dragged Israel into.

Replying to @realDonaldTrump
@realDonaldTrump just fabricated a litany of election falsehoods that have been fully investigated & refuted by his own CIA director — John Radcliffe —in his first term. MAGA-maniacal incitement to preemptively blame his imminent mid-term House loss on foreign bogeymen.

@realDonaldTrump is trying to play his usual Joker card by arguing attempted election influence by foreign bad actors = actual election interference. Show me the beef!

שמתם לב לתופעה מעניינת שלפלסטינים משום מה אף פעם אין ״חברים טובים״ שבאים לומר להם ״אמיתות קשות״ כגון: המלחמה שאתם מנהלים כבר יותר ממאה שנים במטרה שליהודים לא תהיה ריבונות ומדינה בשום שטח בארץ ישראל היא אסון מתמשך, טמטום מוחלט, הביאה רק דם וחורבן לאזור והיא גם כישלון גמור?
Tomorrow at 9:30am ET at Tel Aviv University, I'll lay out where I believe the US-Israel relationship must go from here. I didn't come to flatter anyone. I came because real friends tell each other hard truths — and tomorrow, I will. Stay tuned.
