It’s official! I’m running for Governor to ensure Tennessee is America’s conservative leader for this generation and the next.

I would be honored to have your support. #TNGov

Tonight, I join the millions of Americans in prayer for the victims and families of the targeted, antisemitic attack in Boulder. The hatred being weaponized against Jewish communities across our country is abhorrent, and we must do everything in our power to protect them.

[Rep. David Kustoff @RepDavidKustoff]

Enough is enough. These abhorrent acts of antisemitism cannot continue in our nation. Roberta and I are praying for the victims and their families.

Thoughts and prayers from @AOC to Hezbollah for a speedy recovery. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across of a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians.

This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict.

Congress needs a full accounting of the attack, including an answer from the State Department as to whether any US assistance went into the development or deployment of this technology.

Yesterday, I had a great time at the 33rd Annual ASBEE World Kosher BBQ Contest & Festival in Shelby County. Thank you to Alla Olswanger Lubin for walking me around.

Big Tech’s days of exploiting our kids for profit are numbered.

I will not stop until they are held accountable.

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

More than 250 artists signed a letter supporting the bipartisan Fans First Act.

We need to reform unfair ticketing practices.

[Rep. David Kustoff @RepDavidKustoff]

I met with @jfederations members Alla Olswanger-Lubin & Elissa Taub from Shelby County. Thank you for stopping by to discuss how we can continue our efforts to support Israel and combat antisemitism at home and abroad.

Not a single dime from the American taxpayer should end up in the hands of antisemitic universities.

You mean terrorists don’t care about honoring a temporary ceasefire?

[Rep. David Kustoff @RepDavidKustoff]

It was an honor to host members of the Memphis Jewish community in Washington today with @SenatorHagerty, @MarshaBlackburn, and @RepCohen.

Thank you for making the journey to Washington to reiterate our strong support for Israel and denounce antisemitism.

[Sam Olswanger @SOlswanger]

Rose is my hero. She was genuine, caring, and a true joy to be around. Terrorism cannot be excused. Thank you @PatriciaHeaton for bringing awareness to her murder, for not looking away, and for continuing to #StandWithIsrael 🇮🇱

[Patricia Heaton @PatriciaHeaton]

God rest her soul

[StandWithUs @StandWithUs]

We are heartbroken to share that 20-year-old Israeli-American police officer Sgt. Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin, who was critically wounded in a stabbing terror attack near #Jerusalem’s Old City this morning (November 6), has succumbed to her wounds. The terrorist is a 16-year-old from Isawiya - a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
Our hearts go out to Elisheva's loved ones in the wake of this tragedy. May her memory forever be a blessing. 🕯️

It's almost four weeks since the horrific terrorist attack on #Israel. A lot has happened, the public debate has become heated and confused. Find thoughts from Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck in the video, putting the events in context. 📣With English, Hebrew and Arabic subtitles.
