For the record, as NYC comptroller, Brad Lander oversaw the distribution of billions of dollars in tax money to nonprofits employing his wife as a consultant.
What was her role as consultant?
How to secure grants from the city.
I wish I was making that up, but that’s how out in the open corruption is in this city. Brad’s wife was/is well known as the queen of nonprofits. They made MILLIONS off this grift.
Now he’s lecturing us about the oath of office? Please.

Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore on Xi Jinping, Ukraine and Iran:
"Xi Jinping is watching very carefully what's happening in Ukraine. He's watching what's happening over Iran.
The danger is that if they start to believe that the West, and in particular the United States, does not have the will to see off people like Putin or indeed the Iranian regime, then he will add that to a narrative of Western decline.
That might lead him down the path into doing something, miscalculating over Taiwan or whatever."

Bumped into my friend, @BradLander, who is going to be an important new voice for human rights in Palestine.

The Iranian regime apologia coming from some incoming members of Congress is becoming impossible to ignore. Congressman-elect Adam Hamawy of New Jersey refuses to even acknowledge that the Islamic Republic of Iran is an adversary, instead suggesting it should be treated as a friend and ally while drawing a false moral equivalence between Tehran's aggression and American policy.
One can oppose a war with Iran without resorting to intellectually lazy arguments that erase the Ayatollah's decades-long destabilization of the Middle East: the domination of multiple Arab capitals, the empowerment of violent proxies, and the direct and indirect deaths of countless Arabs, Muslims, and Americans.
More troubling, Hamawy reflects a growing strain on the populist Democratic left that believes: Hamas is recast as a "resistance" movement rather than a terrorist organization; Hezbollah is sanitized; political Islamism is excused through cultural relativism; jihadist movements are treated primarily as victims of circumstance; Iran's aggression is blamed on American "imperialism"; and even the Houthis are rationalized through the lens of Third-Worldist grievance politics.
This is a disturbing degradation in political judgment from a cohort claiming to represent Arab-, Muslim-, and Palestinian-American communities. It should not be normalized, excused, or shielded from criticism through reflexive and bad-faith accusations of "Islamophobia."

For 47 years, Iran has killed innocent people, protesters, Americans, and has waged war on the West through jihadist terrorism.
President Trump had the courage that no other president had — to take on the Iranian threat with full force.
He didn't kick the can. He kicked their teeth in.

Update: four campus groups signed a statement backing the ride. Penn Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. Temple Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. Temple Law Students for Justice in Palestine. The Philly SJP coalition.
The ride's own organizers called the owners "disgusting humans."
Faculty signed on to that. What do you think Jewish students hear in their classrooms?
They lost yesterday. So they're coming back next Sunday.
Philly organizers say another boycott bike ride is planned after crowds packed the Jewish restaurants they targeted.
Same businesses. Same masks. Same hatred.
Show up again.

Israel has transformed the threat of cyberwarfare into an industry that protects banks, businesses and governments worldwide. They're making the world safer through their ingenuity. Those who demonize Israel while benefiting from its innovations ought to be ashamed.

Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary.
BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight"
BROWN: But are they the adversary?
HAMAWY: "We should be making friends"
BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades
HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'"
BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans
HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them"
BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary?
HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"

If Israel had never been founded and Egypt and Jordan had swallowed up the Palestinians between them, we wouldn't hear a think about Palestinian nationhood in this part of the world. They'd be as forgotten as the Kurds. @Alan__Shatter @RachelMoiselle @abrahamson_ed

So Hamas dug one of the world's most impressive tunnel networks in Gaza and pioneered, using plumbing pipes, tens of thousands of rockets...
yet somehow can't dig basic drainage channels to keep floodwaters away from displaced people's tent camps?

Great. Just great.
And he’s not alone. Abdul and several other D members agree.
These people are a menace to the United States.
New Jersey Democratic Congressman-elect Hamawy...
- REFUSES to say Iran is an "adversary" or enemy of the United States
- DEFENDS Iran as having been "pushed...into a fight" by Israel, which forced the U.S. to wage war
- Argues America isn't any better than Iran because "we've killed a lot of [Iranians] as well"

It is incredible that your statement fails to mention the word “Hamas”.
It is Hamas that is responsible for the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis:
it launched the October 7 invasion and massacre; prolonged the war by refusing to release the hostages for 2 years; embedded its operations within civilian areas in Gaza; and still refuses to disarm, blocking progress in the implementation of @POTUS plan.

Israel's Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, sat with 21 New York Times editors.
He brought numbers: how many aid trucks entered Gaza every day, and how IDF soldiers risked their own lives to spare civilians.
They brought feelings. "Ambassador, everybody can't be wrong."
His answer: not everybody thinks it's genocide. And if it feels like everybody does, maybe that's because of you.
Remember the NYT photo of the emaciated Gaza toddler? The boy had a genetic disease and cerebral palsy, and his perfectly healthy brother was cropped out of the frame.
That's not journalism. It's a blood libel.
And blood libels cost Jewish lives.

Dear @Ed_Miliband Why don't you ask Hamas why they used all the drainage pipes that could have alleviated the flooding to build rocket launchers to fire deadly missiles at Israel? You forgot all about that didn't you? And Hamas is still in charge in Gaza so could sort this out

Hamas released a video showing them digging up Gaza’s water pipes and electricity lines—to turn them into rockets.
If you’re upset about Gaza’s lack of a sewage system, direct your outrage where it belongs: at Hamas.

The tragedy in Gaza continues. Two million people trapped under Hamas rule in around 30 percent of the area.
The enduring tragedy there must be stated. They were left under Hamas’ illegal rule since 2007, Hamas received cash to continue its rule and launched numerous wars. And now, when there was finally a clear chance to remove them after the October 7 massacre by Hamas, Hamas have been left in power to continue to control the lives of 2 million, without those civilians having any chance to move to the rest of Gaza free from Hamas, as envisioned in the US and UN-backed plan.
It’s a horrible tragedy. Unspeakable
It is a historic horror that this continues
There is no excuse for it. We removed ISIS from Mosul, we don’t leave them in charge of 2 million people. We removed the Nazis. We didn’t keep them in charge of all the Germans in a Nazi rump state in 30 percent of Germany.
It’s only in Gaza that this horrid never ending disaster is seen as normal
Heavy rainfall triggered flooding through displacement camps in Gaza City, with Palestinians saying their belongings, including their bedding, have all become soaked reut.rs/3VcFphx

70,000 people died in Gaza during the war. According to Hamas itself, 50,000 of them were Hamas fighters. And of the 20,000 “children” killed, 80% were male combatants aged 16-18.
The Gaza “genocide” is the biggest hoax of the 21st century.

It is heartbreaking to see antisemitism in my hometown. I was born in Wyncote, near Philadelphia, and it makes me angry and ashamed to see hatred tolerated there.
The numbers show this is not an abstract concern. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 465 antisemitic incidents across Pennsylvania in 2024, an 18% increase over 2023. It tracked 189 incidents in Philadelphia and 51 in Montgomery County. These reports include harassment, vandalism, and assault; they are not all classified as crimes. (adl.org, philadelphia.adl.org)
Hateful expression harms more than its immediate target. In a 2025 survey of Jewish Americans, 79% said they were concerned about antisemitism, and 52% said they had worried about their personal safety because of their identity. Nearly half reported taking steps to increase their security. A research review also found that exposure to hate is associated with worse psychological well-being, more negative stereotypes, and less trust between groups. (philadelphia.adl.org, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate “white” and “colored” signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains,”no niggers”. I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.
I wish I could be there to stand with those protesting HATE. I am asking elected officials and other leaders in Philadelphia: Where are the clear statements condemning antisemitism? When hateful language is excused or repeated, it can make hostility seem acceptable and deepen fear and division. Leaders should speak plainly and consistently: antisemitism and hate have no place in our communities.
What the hell? We have to speak up.
