Early this morning, gold hit a “historic milestone” as it climbed above $4,000 a troy ounce for the first time. Gold prices have already risen by more than 50% this year. What’s driving this record run? An #FTEdit 🧵

The first paragraph would have been appropriate for today. The rest harms Israelis&Jews.But since you wrote it, WHERE did YOU CALL FOR HAMAS TO ACCEPT THE CEASEFIRE DEAL THEY ARE DELAYING ACCEPTING? This would bring OUR 48 HOSTAGES HOME, end the WAR&Hamas,&bring Gaza&Israel toward peace. I miss it?

The DOJ no longer exists It is now the Department of Corruption I remember when the DOJ was supposed to be unbiased law enforcement and insulated from political pressure. Not Bondi

Seeing this post brought me to tears. I cannot say how much I appreciate this. We must support each other especially in times like these. Words like this truly make a difference & I'll follow all resisters who feel this way & speak out like this. Thank you so much, Lauren-Ashley!

Guy Gilboa-Dalal was attending the Nova festival on October 7 when kidnapped. Torture has left him in deteriorating health. Now 23, Guy is a big fan of anime. He loves Japanese culture, taught himself Japanese, and had bought a ticket to Japan before being taken hostage. #2YrsTooLong 🎗️

This was our synagogue in midtown #NYC yesterday on Yom Kippur, & throughout the holiday season. This is what “Globalize the #Intifada” looks like. Why hasn’t @zohrankmamdani #Mamdani denounced the violent call to Globalize the Intifada? Is it because: #nycmayor #voteforcuomo #nypd

“.. Republican senators left a meeting on Sept. 30 with the US ambassador to China discouraged, saying Beijing has little intention of resuming purchases anytime soon.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

How are you marking Yom Kippur?

Serving New Jersey in Congress, I'm no stranger to getting shovels in the ground and delivering on quality of life projects for our residents — including funding for the Gateway Tunnel.

Mamdani refuses to call a dictator a dictator. Listen for yourself. If any other candidate was this evasive about anything, let alone dictators, Democrats would call him out. Demand straight answers, New York. Don’t empower an ideologue who won’t condemn dictators. Dem leaders: NO ENDORSEMENT!

It speaks to the interest in Epstein that a detail from Dems today has created a frenzy about Peter Thiel. But anyone already following knows there are many ties between Thiel and the pedophile. As my colleague @mattgoldstein26.bsky.social reported: Epstein invested w/ Thiel as recently as 2016.

Mamdani calls for halting enforcement against anti-Israeli campus protests These "protests" involved harassing, attacking, and marginalizing Jews on campus. Mamdani said he wants Jews (12% of NYC population) to be safe. Mamdani is dangerous to NY. #StopMamdani www.israelhayom.com/2025/09/07/m...

Via @matthewnouriel.bsky.social’s Substack, this is “weaponized performance” that depended on manipulation of facts and suppression of dissent. It’s propaganda that will be used to persecute a tiny nation that Islamists want to commit genocide against.

Activists have brought into question credibility of a new Intl Assoc of #Genocide Scholars (IAGS) resolution declaring Israel to be engaged in genocide, w/ the discovery that admission into the org could be obtained for $30, & its membership had spiked since Oct 2023. www.jpost.com/diaspora/art...

DEMOCRATS need to take a serious stand against Presidential Overreach and his defying of the Constitution. The country does not think Democrats are doing anything about this mess! HOW ABOUT a PRIME TIME address from Hakeem Jeffries, etc. to get the message out HOW the Democrats are FIGHTING BACK?

“As well as sharing conspiracy theories, the account bearing [Trump nominee for BLS Commissioner, EJ] Antoni’s name repeatedly used violent rhetoric to declare how far it was willing to go to ensure Trump secured a second term in office.”

Of course they did…

ICE agents begin to speak out. “those interviewed by Reuters backed immigration enforcement in principle. But they criticized the administration's push for high daily arrest quotas that have led to detention of thousands of individuals with no criminal record, (1/2)

The National Guard is being slowly—or not so slowly—turned into the president’s own rapid domestic deployment force. Once again, none of this is business as usual. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/dictator-f...

In one sense, the demonization of AIPAC is just politics. Progressives hate that AIPAC helps candidates who primary them. In 2024, AIPAC donated to Jamaal Bowman's and Cori Bush's challengers. (This is, of course, hypocritical. Primarying Dems is what progressives revel in doing themselves.) 3/7

Let's talk about AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group. Like all lobbies, it’s open to criticism. But unlike other lobbies, it’s the target of a smear campaign. "The focus on AIPAC is wildly disproportionate to the lobby's size or spending.” What’s it about? 🧵 1/7 www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

Understand. Trump is testing the fences with these National Guard Deployments, not out of a performative desire to show strength, but because he knows if he’s going to stay in power past 2028 it will require force. This is a prelude to the most serious threat to this country since the Civil War.

Here’s a thought, let’s all ask #Mamdani if he thinks killing, brutalizing and raping over 1200 people of diverse origin on #Oct7th was justified violence. Who is going to ask him first??? #nyc #nycmayoralelection

Guess who has seen the Epstein files?

@marcelias.bsky.social: "I want everyone to pay attention... Trump is laying the groundwork to steal the 2026 election."

The Constitution dictates that the census is a count "all persons" conducted every "ten years." Donald Trump has no power to alter either the timing or who is counted.

"There's nothing fresh and new" about Mamdani. His ideas have been tried, and when they can even get implemented, they FAIL. Bigly. Mamdani's reckless debt and make-belief plans" will double New York's debt. The wealthy can leave. Regular New Yorkers will pay. youtube.com/shorts/OFWPh...

I want to tell all of my present & former students that I did not stay silent, too. I'm not a philosophy teacher, but all of my students are immigrants. I teach ESL. I also want to tell my neighbors & friends, many of whom are immigrants that I did not stay silent. I also urge them to speak out.

Underrated tweet.

Trump will almost certainly seek to divert attention away from the Epstein Files to some other topic. The most obvious move is for him to escalate the weaponization of the DOJ against his political opponents, including appointing a new special prosecutor. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Truly my pleasure.
