Congresswoman Tlaib has repeatedly insisted on using inflammatory language that dangerously amplifies Hamas propaganda and disinformation. 🧵 Last month, she repeated and then stood by the blood libel that Israel was responsible for the explosion at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, which US intelligence has determined came from PIJ terrorists.

I pray the IDF operation in Jenin to dismantle terrorist infrastructure is swift and successful, with minimal casualties, loss of life or property. Terrorists must not have safe haven in Jenin or anywhere else in the West Bank. 1/ For months, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas and other terrorist groups, with the help of Iran, have been using Jenin as a base to launch attacks against civilians in Israel.

I want to extend my condolences to the family, community and coworkers of Al Jazeera journalist, and Palestinian American, Shireen Abu Akleh. The death of any journalist in the line of duty is a tragedy. 🧵 I join the Administration in condemning Abu Akleh’s killing and call for a full and complete investigation of her death, and holding to account those responsible. This can only be achieved with cooperation between Palestinian and Israeli authorities.

Every day, Americans bear a tremendous mental health burden, exacerbated by COVID-19. This Mental Health Awareness Month, if we as a nation are going to achieve our greatest potential, then we must help the sickest among us get healthy so they can reach their full potential. In Illinois, you can use the Call4Calm text line: If you or a loved one are struggling with stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic and need emotional support, text TALK to 552020.

If the draft opinion is accurate and the Supreme Court is about to overturn Roe—and with it, nearly 50 years of established precedent—millions of women across America will be denied their rights and America will be less free. We are staring down an emergency.🧵 I was a young teen when the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade.

Unfortunately, I received a positive COVID-19 test this morning following being tested yesterday on the advice of the House Attending Physician. Last Wednesday, after narrowly escaping a violent mob incited by the President of the United States to attack the Capitol and its occupants, I was forced to spend several hours in a secure but confined location with dozens of other Members of Congress.

On January 6th, the President of the United States incited a violent mob of anarchists and seditionists to storm and attack the Capitol, defiling the People’s House, the temple of our democracy.

These domestic terrorists were specifically seeking to bring harm to the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and the whole of the Congress.
