We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.
The headlines the last few days have been saturated with male terrorism of women:
Men erasing our rights & women from public life, abusing women, murdering women in barbaric acts in broad daylight in front of children
#MaleViolence#Femicide#RebeccaCheptegei#MaleTerrorism
These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School.
The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.
we are supposed to believe that the young people working to end mass slaughter are the threat and that the riot squads sent in to brutalize them are the peacekeepers
10:23am: Preliminary data from the @USGS shows that a 4.7 magnitude earthquake was recorded near Whitehouse Station, NJ. We have received several reports of shaking which was also felt here at the office.

“Israelis, in their hearts, know that food is not a weapon of war.”
“The Israeli government… needs to stop killing civilians and aid workers today.”
“It is not a sign of weakness to feed strangers; it is a sign of strength.”

Israel today left a massive hospital complex in ruins with the stench of decomposing bodies everywhere, bombed an embassy, and then killed international workers with World Food Kitchen.
What horrors will tomorrow bring?
Either the IDF is extremely bad at identifying targets, to the point that it’s dangerous for aid workers and civilians, and the U.S. should stop sending them weapons.
OR
Netanyahu is lying and the U.S. should stop sending them weapons.
Either way—STOP. SENDING. THEM. WEAPONS.
The horrifying details emerging about the World Central Kitchen massacre: The convoy was struck 3 times in succession, with the drone chasing the wounded aid workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were all killed. No legit pretext and precise coordination with the IDF.
The IDF's early explanation re the killing of the World Central Kitchen team is in - per "security sources" speaking to Haaretz. Before we get to the putative pretext for the attack, they also disclose a harrowing detail - the drone bombed the convoy THREE TIMES in succession..
Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.
People say it’s foreign trolls or tiktok that sows cynicism and maybe a bit, but I think watching 4 wks of kids being pulled out of rubble then reading your govt magically found $14B extra to do more of that and also your schools and roads are falling apart may contribute as well
Now we Have many trucks in the southern border of Gaza with Egypt! Humanitarian aid must be allowed, cease fire announced and targeting of civilians must end immediately as well as the release of all the people of Israel and other nationals unharmed! @WCKitchen we are building a kitchen as well to hopefully soon bringing in hot meals!…
