It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom.
Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.

Every American deserves to feel safe in their place of worship.
I’m appalled by this attack on a synagogue in Michigan, especially as Jewish communities across our country face increasing threats from antisemitism. There can be no place for violence or hate in our nation.
On the campaign trail, Trump pledged he would not drag America into another war.
Then he became the first president stupid & reckless enough to put American lives at risk in support of Israeli PM Netanyahu's 40-year quest for a regime change war in Iran.
For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:
A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.
Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.
Thank you to the first responders who responded to this emergency and who are on front lines of public safety every day. I'm especially thinking of this officer and praying for his recovery. We're keeping him and his loved ones in our thoughts.
The Trump DOJ gave Ticketmaster a sweetheart deal that keeps their monopoly intact & does nothing to stop their ridiculously high prices & fees.
The deal was so good, their stock price jumped 6.2% after the news broke.
Once again: Trump's putting corporations over consumers.
Earlier this year leaked video showed the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore ICE Holding Facility.
Today we conducted an unannounced oversight visit.
Here's some of what we learned:
When Trump said this strike was "done by Iran," he was lying, just as he lied about keeping America out of wars.
He & Sec. Hegseth are responsible for the killing of these 175 people, most of them children. They must be held accountable.

There is a growing sickness in the Republican Party that spawns this virulent hatred.
Replace 'Muslims' with any other faith & this man would be run out of Congress.
Their tolerance for this bigotry is a cancer in their ranks. Hate, in all its forms, should find no refuge here.
Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.
While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.
It’s been 15 days since the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariff tax & he still has no plan to put YOUR money back in your pocket.
When are American families going to see the $1,700 he stole? Return the money, NOW!
Last year, at least 32 people died in ICE custody — the most in 2 decades. Reports show at least 9 have died already this year. How many more before Republicans act?
Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & SNAP to give this lawless agency an extra $75 BILLION.
Not one more dime.
Yesterday, I asked Kristi Noem’s former number 2, whether he disagreed with Noem’s statement that Renee Good & Alex Pretti were “domestic terrorists."
He refused to answer.
It's clear no one in this Administration knows right from wrong. He should not be representing our country.
This mass killing of children is unconscionable. It bears the hallmarks of a war crime.
Trump & Hegseth must answer for the US's role & they must be held accountable. People deserve the full truth. There must be an immediate & transparent investigation.

Good riddance. Now how about the rest of the Cabinet?
www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
Our Ambassadors should have a basic understanding of the Constitution. But apparently, that's too much to ask of this Admin.
Trump's pick to be Ambassador to El Salvador (who was also Noem's deputy at DHS) had trouble answering basic questions about our Constitution.
Trump is already spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his illegal regime change war of choice in Iran.
Now, he's going to ask Congress to give him up to $50 BILLION MORE.
My vote: hell NO.
Today, Trump hosted AI execs to ask them to "pledge" to cover the electricity costs of their data centers.
One problem? It's smoke and mirrors.
Consumers should understand that if he's serious, Trump would support my Power for the People Act to make these protections LAW.
Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.
Shameful.

Trump and his cronies are still hiding the Epstein files. They should be held in contempt.
Release the damn files!
