As a proud Jew, who began the effort to bring Nazi war criminals living in the US to justice and whose family sheltered Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia, I condemn Israel's handling of Gaza. Starvation of the children and civilians is hateful and must stop. Shame on Israel.

I want to honor Jimmy Carter today for his steadfast support as president for women's rights, refugee rights and human rights. He was a principled, dedicated man, and it was a privilege to work as a Congresswoman with him on these issues. My deepest condolences to his family.

In condemning former Rep Matt Gaetz, the House Ethics report also implicitly condemns Donald Trump. In naming Gaetz as his pick for Attorney General, Trump showed his contempt for the rule of law and for the American people who deserve law abiding Cabinet officers.

Just compare Kamala's smile @VP to Trump's scowl and glowering face. It tells the whole story in a nutshell. The choice is between her hope and joy and Trump's anger and hate. The Harris-Walz ticket will triumph.

From the first woman elected DA in NYC to the first woman elected DA in San Francisco who became the first woman vice president of the US, @VP "Go, girl, go!" You have the guts, strength, compassion and smarts to defeat Trump and make America's promise work for everyone.

@PresidenBiden, whom I have known since we both came to Washington in 1973, made a very brave and difficult decision yesterday. I honor him for it. He acted selflessly, in the interest of his country and all Americans. Joe, we are grateful for your amazing presidency.

The guilty verdict against Trump shows how justice can be done. The jury was not intimidated. The judge was highly professional. The prosecutors presented a meticulous case. Trump's name calling got him nowhere. I'm so proud of New York City today.

The House managers who delivered the impeachment articles to the Senate for #HHSSecretary Mayorkas were a sorry sight. The impeachment violates the Constitution. There was no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors and it passed with a one vote margin after failing at first.

#AlexeiNavalny, a courageous fighter for democracy in Russia, sadly died at the hands of Putin, but Republicans in the House wouldn't stand up to Putin over Ukraine and fled home for vacation. Putin will try to kill our democracy too by continuing to support his puppet #Trump.

The second effort to impeach Sec'y Mayorkas is disgraceful, as was the first. Impeachment is designed to protect against an abuse of power that threatens our democracy. There is no evidence of that. None. The House is abusing its own power by impeaching for political reasons.

3/ That is why Jews especially cannot forget, diminish or deny the humanity of others. We cannot, we dare not become guilty of what destroyed so many of our precious people, as well as millions of others.

2/ And let's not forget that the Nazi gassing program started in Germany itself with the physically and mentally handicapped. The Nazis and their collaborators refused to acknowledge the humanity of the Jews.

1/27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We pay tribute to the victims--6 million Jews, a people decimated, a culture built up over thousands of years destroyed, Europe emptied of much of its Jewish population. The Nazis tried to destroy the Roma and Sinti, too. 1/

Trump’s made noticeably fewer endorsements in the 2024 primaries than he did in 2022, but a few have emerged

The Senate Finance & Judiciary Committees, which are looking at the large--and seemingly improper-- "gifts" to Justices Alito and Thomas, need to get the donors' tax returns. A&T say they got gifts, but the donors may have taken business deductions for them.
