As the only Jewish member of MI’s congressional delegation, I have worked to reach out to Arab & Muslim constituents who I know are feeling fear and anguish right now, & I have tried to reflect that empathy in my approach to this crisis. I ask the same of @RepRashida. (1/3)
The phrase “from the river to the sea” is one of division & violence, & it is counterproductive to promoting peace. None of us, especially elected leaders, should amplify language that inflames a tense situation & makes it harder for our communities to find common ground. (2/3)
If I knew that a phrase I’d used had hurt any of my constituents, I would apologize & retract it, no matter its origin. I’d ask the same from you. (3/3)

Breathtaking events in Russia, & my team & I have been up most of the night watching history unfold. While we’re still watching events in real time, a few things are clear:
First, Russians fighting Russians on Russian soil, which we haven’t seen since the 1991 coup attempt, is born directly from Russia’s failures in Ukraine. Military forces with clear plans, chain of command, & operational success don’t devolve into violence against themselves.
This is the clearest public confirmation of the folly of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. And remember: Wagner, a private military force, was brought into Ukraine & put on the frontlines because of the failures of Russia’s regular military.

In America, no one – even a former president – is above the law. And as a former national security official who held Top Secret security clearance my entire adult life, no one working in our defense or intel agencies would get away with mishandling classified info like this.
But President Trump will have his day in court like any other American, and I have faith in the rule of law metering out this case.
In the meantime, to my colleagues who are inciting violence, calling for military-style planning against the ‘oppressors,’ and saying that we have ‘now reached a war phase’:

Watching the dramatic events unfolding in Israel tonight. The state’s focus on security can’t be overstated, so for senior defense officials & military personnel to be fired or refuse to serve is unprecedented.
The government’s efforts to fundamentally alter the judiciary are now having concrete consequences, threatening Israel’s stability, its security, and its democratic values.
The Supreme Court’s authority is fundamental to Israel remaining both a Jewish and a democratic state — something I and so many other Americans have always believed in.

From South Lyon to Okemos, in recent months we’ve seen a major uptick in the number of hoax threats against schools. While the phenomenon isn’t new, the way these threats come in  & the rate at which misinformation & disinformation spread online has changed the game.
That’s why today we brought together superintendents from across the district for a briefing with the Detroit office of the FBI and state and federal prosecutors to talk about the threat landscape.
Let’s be clear: these incidents drain law enforcement and schools of resources, they rattle nerves, and they leave everyone on edge. And these are serious crimes — in some cases, felonies that can carry up to 20 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

It’s always an honor to be part of Lansing’s MLK Day of Celebration, and it was particularly special to be back in person today — with such a large crowd — to honor Dr. King’s legacy and to recommit ourselves to his work. 1/
2/ I was thrilled to be able to present our newest State Senator, @SarahAnthony517, with the MLK Keeper of the Dream Award for her efforts in the State Legislature to advance Dr. King’s goals of equality & social justice.
3/ It was also wonderful to hear from so many dedicated public servants across mid-Michigan, and to take a moment to acknowledge my colleague and friend @SenStabenow for her years of service.

OPEC’s announcement is unacceptable & reflects a new low in our relations with the Gulf. All diplomatic options should be on the table, including the withholding of American military hardware & security assistance that Saudi Arabia, in particular, is so dependent on. 1/
2/ The relationship with the Gulf States has always been complicated & transactional, but this news considerably raises the stakes. U.S. policy has swung like a pendulum between Trump & Biden, but these countries have long-benefitted from our support for the last 60 years.
3/ At best, the cartel has rejected any idea of being a helpful actor & chosen profit over aiding the world economy. At worst, they’ve made a conscious choice to align themselves with Putin over the U.S.
