I was alarmed by past positions, specifically references to global jihad.

This is a very serious issue, because people that glorify the slaughter of Jews create fear in our communities.

The caller is exactly the New York constituents that I’ve spoken to that are alarmed. They are alarmed by past public statements.

As a leader of a city as diverse as New York City with 8 million people, as the largest Jewish population in the country, he should denounce it. And that’s it. Period.

It doesn’t matter what meaning you have in your brain, it is not how the word is received. And when you use a word like ‘intifada,’ to many Jewish Americans and Jewish New Yorkers, that means you are permissive for violence against Jews.

It is a serious word. It is a word that has deep meaning. It has been used for wars across time and violence and destruction and slaughter and murder against the Jews.

This is something I care deeply about, and so I will be an advocate on these issues. These are things that I think are important to New Yorkers.

He should denounce it. And that’s it. Period. And you can’t celebrate it, you can’t value it, you can’t lift it up.

globalize the intifada is a call to kill all the Jews.

It doesn’t matter what meaning you have in your brain, it is now how the word is received.

I would be very specific in these words, and I would say you may not use them again if you expect to represent everyone, ever again, because they are received as hateful and divisive.

When you hear things like intifada, when you hear things like jihad, when you hear ‘from the river to the sea,’ it is received as ‘slaughter the Jews and destroy Israel,’ period.

I rise in support of the Hagerty- Gillibrand substitute amendment to the GENIUS Act, legislation to regulate the cryptocurrency assets known as stablecoins. Over the past several years, top U.S. financial regulators--both Democrats and…

I am very optimistic that Sen. Ossoff will not only win his race, but show rest of the country, you know, who he is and what Democrats stand for.

Democrats are going to be focused on commonsense, kitchen table issues of affordability and public safety.

So I am certain we will have formidable candidates in North Carolina and Maine because of this growing backlash that President Trump has created.

We’re going to look at every state on a case-by-case basis and make our assessment as to who’s the best candidate in that state, and then make decisions based on that.

I look at the map, and every state’s on the table because of this growing backlash that President Trump’s decisions have created, with his cuts to Medicaid and his unwillingness to address affordability issues.

Ernst’s remarks exemplify Trump’s very callous approach towards health care, cutting seniors, cutting people with disabilities, children, pregnant women and veterans off of their Medicaid.

I’m confident that we have produced a strong regulatory framework that will position our country for the future.

I’m very hopeful we will have the strongest candidate possible for Maine.

I believe it is essential to the future of the U.S. economy and to everyday Americans that we enact strict stablecoin regulations and consumer protections where none currently exist.

The bipartisanship of this effort was on display when the bill passed out of the Banking Committee with strong support from Democrats and Republicans.

I have another question for you because I know you want to move on to some national security issues this morning.

Seven thousand staff, even though the Social Security Administration staffing is already at a 50-year low. So they are lying when they are saying this is about efficiency. They just want the money, and what do they want the money for? Tax…
