I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).
But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention. For harvesting olives. They should all be released immediately.
To be clear: Palestinians face far worse consequences every day. These detentions by the IDF are one more attempt to undermine Palestinians’ right to harvest their olive groves, travel on their roads, and live in their homes. Yet one more element of escalating, and very clearly state-sponsored ethnic cleansing.
We’ll update on their status as soon as we hear.

Michigan, I am the only House Democrat from our state representing a district won by President Trump. I am voting for @AbdulElSayed, and I encourage you to do the same.
The days leading up to an election are always full of distractions and noise. This cycle has been particularly bitter and hateful. Now is the time to rise above it and consider who will actually fight for you and your family. So before you cast your ballot, ask yourself: which of the candidates for Senate will,
✅End Trump’s tariffs on our allies, raising your costs and killing our jobs
✅Stop the War with Iran
✅Take on the political corruption making everything worse, and
✅Most importantly, vote with you on a generation-defining Supreme Court Justice
Then, by November 3, cast your ballot for @AbdulElSayed.

I didn’t think it was possible to combine primary-loser-sour-grapes & Islamophobia into a more toxic cocktail than Andrew Cuomo. But Haley Stevens has managed to do it.
If she wants to betray civil rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant protections, and working families by endorsing Mike Rogers and trying to give control of the Senate to J.D. Vance and Donald Trump, I guess that's her business — but it’s appalling, oddly patronizing, and simply false to claim that it’s in the interest of Michigan’s Jewish communities.
Our safety comes from welcoming the stranger, fighting for universal human rights, and building pluralist democracy — not from endorsing neo-Nazi adjacent MAGA fanatics.
Fortunately, there’s a powerful response of solidarity and shared safety, that every Jewish & non-Jewish Michigander can do on Tuesday:
Vote for @AbdulElSayed

It’s a beautiful GOTV Saturday to be knocking doors in Allentown, PA for @VoteBobBrooks!
Bob spent 20 years fighting fires & leading his union. I’m excited to join him in a Democratic House majority that fights for our neighbors with that same fearless spirit.
We opened this campaign focused on what it means to show up for our neighbors — and we’re ending it the same way.
Still time for a few more doors before getting back to NYC for Halloween tonight & the Marathon tomorrow.
Let’s leave it all out on the field.

Well said.
MICHIGAN SENATE: Abdul El-Sayed responds to a question regarding Sen. Elissa Slotkin's slated campaign stops with him on Thursday. Slotkin defeated Mike Rogers in 2024 by 19,006 votes.
El-Sayed: "No one's had more success sending Mike Rogers back to Florida than himself. And then Senator Slotkin. And so grateful to her for coming out on the trail, grateful to her for her support. And, you know, there's a question that was asked about differences with some voters. Nobody's going to agree with anybody 100%. Senator Slotkin and I don't agree on everything. And she's been very clear about that, and I've been very clear about that. But we agree on the big things. We agree that putting a check on Donald Trump and his power is critical... Those things bring us together way more than any, disagreements might tear us apart. And I hope that folks will see us right. A muslim man and Jewish woman coming together, even with with real disagreements when it comes to, issues in the Middle East, coming together to fight Trumpism, and to protect our democracy."

2. Vote for Democrats on the @NYWFP ballot line (Row D).
3. If you already voted, great! Remind your friends, family & neighbors to make a plan to do the same.
Let's send a message that we want working people to have the power, not billionaire oligarchs or greedy corporations.

My friend @WellmanforMO is now in the most tightly contested congressional race in the country! @NateSilver538 just ranked MO-2 at the very top of his competitive race rankings.
No one (other than Fred and his team) would've expected this a few months ago, but the Missouri district where I grew up is a seat we can win — and Fred is just the guy to do it.
With less than a week left, he really needs us to pitch in. So please head to wellmanformo.com now to donate or volunteer. Help make sure my parents back home can have a congressmember they can be proud of!

A Democratic Congress must make crystal clear: No bailouts for AI.
We need to learn from the lessons of past bubbles, including the Great Financial Crisis when Wall Street execs made off like bandits while working people were left holding the bag. We can’t let that happen again.
Looking forward to signing on to this resolution offered up by @RepMaxineWaters, @RepCasar & @USProgressives.

Investment in AI is expected to top $1 trillion this year alone. Public markets, retail investments (incl. pensions), and private credit are increasingly reliant on a small handful of AI market valuations.
The sector is characterized by circular financing — the AI labs, chipmakers (esp. Nvidia), and data centers all invest in & buy from each other, obscuring connections & inflating valuations. And the infrastructure build-out is increasingly leveraged with debt, some of it held by shell companies.
The time is now to put real financial (in addition to AI safety, job displacement, climate, privacy, and mental health) guardrails in place.

Dolores Huerta was a legend who did the work. She never tired, and she never backed down, despite huge personal cost.
To the most difficult labor fights, she brought the "¡Sí, se puede!" energy that unites working people in solidarity. She went toe-to-toe with some of the most exploitative bosses and won.
She inspired generation after generation of workers & activists, and she was always pushing for more. Last year, at 95, she reached out to recruit my support for an international human rights complaint against ICE.
Every one of us who cares about the dignity of workers, of immigrants, of human beings, and who knows we have to show up and fight for it owes Dolores an eternal debt of gratitude. From the California grape fields to the streets of NYC, her legacy will continue to be felt at every picket line, bargaining table & union hall.
¡Viva Dolores Huerta! ¡Orgullo de nuestra gentle!
¡Viva la mujer del campo! ¡Que en la lucha está presente!

If Gadi Eisenkot and the opposition bloc are remotely serious about getting rid of Netanyahu, and about Israel’s democratic future, they’ll do the obvious, strategic, and non-racist thing of forming a government with the Arab parties.
A Jewish-Arab political partnership is necessary to meet this political moment, and for any shared future.

Congratulations to Lula and the people of Brazil on a truly important victory! 🇧🇷
Brazil has once again shown the world what’s possible when working families organize, stand up for democracy, and demand a government that puts people first — not oligarchs & nepo babies & election deniers.
Bolsonaro’s far-right coalition is aggressively trying to undermine the results, just like what MAGA does in America. Everyone who cares about democracy should acknowledge Lula as the rightful victor.

Have you made a plan to vote? And are you going to vote on the WFP line?
I hope the answers are yes and yes! (My kids & I voted today – but maybe the best voting plan answer I heard was the person who said: “Next Saturday, obviously! I want the Halloween “I Voted” sticker!)
Early voting has started in NYC and runs through next Sunday, November 1. So please find your polling place and make a plan: vote.nyc
Vote early. Vote WFP.

The midterm election is finally here. As you know, there’s a lot riding on it. This is our chance to win back House and Senate Democratic majorities — that will fight more fiercely for working families amidst so many storms.
That’s why Marek, Rosa & I voted early today on the first day of Early Voting — which runs through Sunday, November 1st!
I hope you’ll vote for me, for @KathyHochul (over the embarrassing Trump puppet Bruce Blakeman), and our entire slate of Democrats on the @WorkingFamilies Party @NYWFP line. Voting on the WFP line counts the same, and helps build progressive power.
I also voted in favor of the five NYC ballot propositions proposed by the “Commission on Government Efficiency.”
So if you haven't already, make a plan to go out and vote either early or on November 3rd! Find your polling place for early voting here: vote.nyc
