Today, Lori and I are thinking of the Tree of Life community as we continue to mourn the 11 Jewish Pennsylvanians who were murdered in the deadliest act of antisemitism in our nation's history, on this day six years ago.

When I took the oath of office in January 2023, I swore my oath on 3 bibles — and one of the three was a bible from the Tree of Life synagogue that survived the attack on October 27, 2018.

Today, that bible sits on a table in my office in the Capitol.

It serves as a reminder that we can find light in the midst of darkness — and we won’t be defined by our darkest hour, but rather by how we come together to comfort each other in those moments and shine light into the darkness.

As the Tree of Life community builds a new campus in Squirrel Hill, my prayer is that it  will be a place of light and enlightenment — a place that teaches all who go there to embrace who we are, to not retreat from our identity nor use it to silence or oppress others.

Now, more than ever, we need to learn from our shared history, and speak out and combat hate wherever we find it.

To those who've come together in the days, weeks, and now years, thank you for showing us that we are indeed stronger than hate.

And to the families who continue to bear the burden of empty seats at your tables, we offer you prayers of comfort and support.

May the memories of Joyce, Richard, Rose, Jerry, Cecil, David, Bernice, Sylvan, Daniel, Melvin, and Irving forever be a blessing.

Acclaimed novelist @SalmanRushdie to the German tabloid @BILD:

“If there was a Palestinian state, it would be run by Hamas, and that would make it a Taliban like state. …and it would be a client state of Iran. Is that what the progressive movement of the western left wants to create?”

Eden Golan is a ROCK. And a STAR.
She was booed at all the rehearsals,bullied by the cheap Greek contestant, the hysteric eliminated Dutch,the psycho Irish and others, all embarrasing the countries they represent. She had to change the lyrics of her song. She had to change the room, at the request of the Irish creature, who refused to stay next to her.Tens of armored Police cars, hundreds of Police officers escorting her and the Israeli delegation to the venue.Thousands of angry mob, a majority of extremist muslims from Malmö and the eternal joke of the century, Greta & her cult, supporting terrorism and communism, not the climate, as you thought.
She received tones of hateful messages on her social media.
Does she looks like she cares about the HATE OF THE LOSERS ?
She is QUEEN ESTHER material and SHE IS GOT THIS !
You go, girl !
And WE VOTE !

In 2020, one of the main reasons I voted for Joe Biden was because I wanted trump out of office.

PERIOD.

Don't get me wrong: I knew Joe was a good guy, and he had a ton of useful experience in politics as well as in the White House, but he wasn't my first choice, and I wasn't expecting much.

But NOW I'm voting for Biden in November mainly because he blew my expectations of him all the way out of the damn water.

He's already the most legislatively successful President in the modern era, having signed key consequential bills into law, like the Infrastructure bill, the PACT Act, the CHIPs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Now, millions of Americans have insulin capped at $35/month.

The infrastructure bill is so good that Republicans who voted against it are clamoring to take credit for the funds going into their states.

He recovered and created a total of 15 million jobs. The last time unemployment was under 4% this long, we put a man on the moon for the first time.

Here's a new one, that not a lot of people are talking about, but it's a BFD: if you've ever had a flight delayed for hours or canceled, or lost your luggage, you'll love this: automatic compensation, within 20 days, and you don't even have to spend hours on the phone to make it happen.

He's gone after bullshit junk fees that companies charge us, death by a thousand cuts of mystery, mounting fees.

I prefer my President to be hard-working, compassionate, intelligent, and thoughtful.

I prefer my President to respect our NATO alliances, and the role we play in the world.

I prefer my President to respect our fallen soldiers, and not to see them as "suckers and losers."

I prefer my President who wants to leave the world, and his office, in better shape than he found it.

I prefer President Biden. 🙏💪

Some points regarding the overnight Iranian missile attack on Israel:

1. Contrary to what pundits are saying, this wasn’t designed merely as “bells and whistles” with no damage.

When you shoot 350 flying objects timed to hit Israel at the same moment,
when you use three fundamentally different weapon types—cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and UAVs,
you’re looking to penetrate Israel’s defenses and kill Israelis.

2. The US administration is telling us: “This is a victory, you’ve already won by thwarting the missiles.
No need for any further action.”
No, it’s NOT a victory.
Yes, it’s a remarkable success of Israel’s air defense systems, but it’s not a victory.

When a bully tries to hit you 350 times and only succeeds seven time, you’ve NOT won.

You don’t win wars just by intercepting your enemy’s hits, nor do you deter it.
Your enemy will just try harder with more and better weapons and methods next time.
How DO you deter?
By exacting a deeply painful price.

3. It’s incorrect to say “nobody got hurt”.
There’s a 7 year-old Israeli-Arab girl called Amina Elhasuny fighting for her life.
That’s who coward Khamenei hit.

4. The Islamic Republic of Iran made a big mistake.
For the past 30 years it’s been wreaking havoc on the region—through its proxies.
A terror-octopus whose head is Tehran, and its tentacles are in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Gaza.

How convenient.
The Mullahs send others to conduct horrendous terror attacks, and die for them.
Other people’s blood.

Israel’s strategic mistake for the past 30 years was to play along this strategy.
We always fought the Octopus’ arms, but hardly exacted a price from its Iranian head.
This should change now:
Hezbollah or Hamas shoots a rocket at Israel?
Tehran pays a price.

5. The enemy is the Iranian REGIME, not the wonderful Iranian people.
The Iranian regime reminds me of the Soviet regime in 1985: corrupt to the core, old, incompetent, despised by its own people, and destined to collapse.
The sooner the better.
The West can accelerate the regime’s inevitable collapse with a set of soft and clever actions, short of military force.
Remember, USSR collapsed without any need for a direct American attack.
Let’s do this.

6. Israel is fighting everybody’s war. In Gaza, Lebanon and Tehran.
We’re considered “the small satan” by radical Islam. America is the big one.

I’ll be clear: if these crazy fanatic Islamic terrorists get away with murder by hiding among civilians, this method will be adopted by terrorists worldwide.

We’re not asking anyone to fight for us. We’ll do the job.
But we do expect our allies to have our back, especially when it’s tough—and now it’s tough.

Be on the right side and help us defeat these horrible and savage regimes.

@risal770 @jacobkornbluh In fairness, that was not what he said in full. What he said was I don’t care … what matters is that we have to be a big tent and have to speak to people we disagree with (paraphrased. I don’t have the quote memorized)
