Civilians and journalists should never be targets. I'm horrified by attacks on Palestinian villagers and Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine. This attack, along with reports that nearby Israeli security forces did not intervene, demands a full investigation and real accountability—as do the many other instances of settler violence against Palestinian civilians and land in the West Bank. This is exactly why I introduced the West Bank Violence Prevention Act. Extremist settler violence, which endangers lives and undermines peace and security in the region, must end.
Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers trying to gather their autumn olive harvest. Heidi Levine, a veteran photographer for The Post, was also knocked her to the ground, kicked repeatedly and stripped of her camera and phone. wapo.st/4yY8dJw

I am deeply disturbed by the alleged white supremacist plot to attack a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. This kind of Anti-Hindu and anti-Indian hate should have no place in our country. Grateful to law enforcement for acting swiftly and stopping this attack. We must have zero tolerance for this violence and must work together as one people to end it.

The mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend is another horrifying act of violence that has struck our schools. Our schools should be places of safety, dedicated to education and community. No parent should be afraid to drop their kids off at school. But too often, they are now the site of horrible sadness and atrocities. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire community. Members of Congress owe it to every family affected by gun violence to pass meaningful reforms so this never happens again. I will not rest until every childhood is free from the scourge of gun violence.

Influential voices within MAHA are sounding the alarm. The Trump administration has chosen again and again to side with big corporations and billionaires over hard working families who are demanding that we address toxic exposures, chronic disease, and the failures of our broken food and agricultural systems. We must continue this fight. kucinichreport.substack.com/…

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the extraordinary history, cultures, and contributions of Native communities across our nation. We must also acknowledge the injustices they have endured—and continue to face—and do the work of pursuing real justice.

No president should be able to weaponize the federal government against political enemies and we cannot grow numb to this. Donald Trump has a clear record of doing exactly this. We are days before the election, and everyone should be deeply suspicious of President Trump’s justice department and their actions against any sitting member of congress. Moreover, Trump himself continues to prove how detached he is from the most pressing concerns Americans are facing, and why his agenda of cruelty, chaos and corruption must be checked.

NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak operations will be impacted October 11-November 14 as trains completely shift from the Portal Bridge that entered service in 1910 to the new Portal North Bridge, a two-track fixed span bridge. The conclusion of the Portal North cutover and the recent start of tunnel boring for the Hudson Tunnel Project are significant milestones in the 11-project Gateway Program, which will double rail capacity between Newark and New York once completed. Commuters using NJ TRANSIT may consult with NJ TRANSIT staff at stations, follow guidelines on the NJ TRANSIT app, and go to njtransit.com/portalcutover to review cross-honoring options.

Families are paying more for groceries, rent, and prescriptions. The Antitrust Division should be going after the corporations and monopolies behind those costs — not investigating newsrooms for how they cover the President.

I’ve stood with Gabriela Soto, an American citizen, as she fought to bring her husband home from ICE detention. Yesterday, Martin was finally released after 9 months away from his two young children and pregnant wife. He could not be there for Gaby as she endured a devastating late miscarriage. Martin is home, but the hardship this family endured cannot be undone. Delaney Hall should be closed. We will continue standing with Gaby and every family still waiting to be reunited.

Weeks before the midterms, Senate Republicans used their closing argument to attack Jack Smith and push Trump’s Big Lie. Here's what they're not pushing for: lower gas prices. Cheaper health insurance or childcare. Instead, they're rehashing the Big Lie, and doing Trump's bidding. Americans deserve better than that.

As Sickle Cell Awareness Month comes to a close, I’m calling on New Jerseyans who are able to give blood.   Our region is facing a serious shortage, with New Jersey Blood Services reporting nearly 2,700 fewer donations than local hospitals need this month.   And for the sickle cell community, donating can make an especially meaningful difference: 1 in 3 African American blood donors are a match for a patient with sickle cell disease.   Please consider donating. One donation can help save a life. donate.nybc.org/donor/schedu…

This is Donald Trump’s Republican Senate. Yesterdays hearing with Jack Smith was a farce. They are persecuting the prosecutors, gaslighting the American people, and choosing Trump over truth, corruption and crimes over the Constitution.
