Sustaining Americans' memory of October 7th is an homage for the victims, a tribute to the heroes, and a powerful way to strengthen the resolve of the Jewish community.

I joined hundreds of others to bear witness, memorialize the thousands slain, and take inspiration from the indomitable spirit of Eliya and Ziv.

Eliya & Ziv were honored guests at Temple Shalom in Newton on October 7th to share their story (he learned English from a book that Hersh Goldberg-Polin gave him to pass the time in the tunnels) in commemoration of the third anniversary of the Hamas attacks.

His girlfriend, Ziv Abud, was with him at the Nova Music Festival. She escaped a bomb shelter in which their family and friends were murdered by terrorists using grenades & guns.

🧵Eliya Cohen was held hostage in Hamas' terror tunnels for 505 days. He was chained, starved, and beaten. Every morning, he and his fellow captives prayed in Hebrew so that their captors would know that their Jewish spirit was unbroken.

Most immigrants detained have no criminal record. The mass arrests in Fall River & New Bedford are not supporting public safety; they are an attempt by the president to distract from diesel at $6.50/gallon.

The ICE arrest wave in the South Coast is sowing fear in the immigrant communities I represent. This broken agency continues to undermine public safety, which requires trust, due process, and professional law enforcement.

The Dignity Act: Give immigrants a pathway to legal certainty and freedom from fear. Secure the border. Fix the visa & asylum & E-Verify systems.

To help make real the American Creed, tax inheritance for billionaire heirs.

AI agents should be liable for torts, just like humans are. Current law is sketchy. My bipartisan bill makes it clear.

Tariffs must be stable, not slapdash.

This war was illegal, expensive, and optional.

Sometimes politics is about turning private knowledge into common knowledge.

The war is already a failure. It must not become a quagmire.

The Alzheimer’s Early Detection Act would require health plans to cover biomarker testing for pre-symptomatic adults, especially those aged 50 and older, so that you can start taking medicines to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s years before cognitive decline begins.

Two failures cause forever wars — sunk cost bias and groupthink. The Trump administration is making both mistakes.

No money for war & corruption.

Hegseth tomorrow is on Capitol Hill to ask Congress to fund an illegal war. No appropriations without authorization.
