I stand with Mayor Parker and Philly’s Jewish community. Targeting businesses because their owners are Jewish is antisemitism. On the eve of Kristallnacht’s anniversary, we remember where unchecked hate can lead. We have a duty to speak out and stand up for one another.
ALT Statement from Mayor Cherelle Parker: As Mayor, I serve every Philadelphian under the explicit premise that freedom of speech and freedom from fear are not competing values. No one should be targeted, threatened, or made to feel unwelcome because of their faith, identity, or background. Every person deserves to feel safe and respected in the city they call home. The planned November 8 boycott ride targets Jewish-owned restaurants in and around Rittenhouse Sq. and falls on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a date that carries profound pain for our Jewish neighbors and for all who remember where unchecked hatred can lead. Everyone has the right to peacefully protest and express their political views. But singling out businesses because their owners are Jewish is unacceptable and has no place in our city. Let me be clear: safety is non-negotiable. That is why I have directed the Police Commissioner to coordinate closely with the community and partner agencies. (Cont.)
Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights in New Jersey and around the world! It’s a beautiful reminder that light prevails over darkness and good over evil. May your year ahead be filled with peace, prosperity, and blessings.

Dolores Huerta was one of my heroes, and I am heartbroken that she has passed. But more than grief, I feel gratitude. She walked this earth for 96 years and she spent nearly every one of them in service to people the powerful had decided were invisible.
She gave the world three words: Sí, se puede. Yes, we can. But she did more than coin a phrase. She lived it. Through her decades of labor leadership, she gave a voice to farmworkers who had no union, no contracts, no protection, and no one in power who believed they could win. She organized the grape boycott. She negotiated agreements no one thought possible. She was arrested more than twenty times for peaceful protest and once beaten so badly by police that it took her months to recover. She got up every time. She never stopped.
Dolores understood something I hold at the center of my faith: that we are all bound together, and none of us are free until all of us are free. She fought for farmworkers, for women, for immigrants, for children. And she did it into her nineties, still organizing, still registering voters, still insisting that ordinary people have extraordinary power when they act together.
Dolores, thank you. You taught us that love is not a feeling but a labor. We will honor you the only way that would matter to you: by continuing to organize, to stand up, to vote, and to fight for the dignity of every person.
Sí, se puede. Always.

Sen. Cory Booker retweeted
NJ was hit hard by September’s nor’easter and shore communities need our support to rebuild and recover.
That’s why @SenBooker and I wrote to Trump directly to request approval on @GovSherrillNJ's most recent disaster declaration.
Let’s deliver the federal support New Jerseyans need. nj.com/politics/2026/10/jers…

Eight years ago, 11 lives were tragically cut short in the antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue. As we honor their memories, we must reaffirm our collective commitment to protecting houses of worship and ending gun violence.

New research found that 80% of national and 90% of New Jersey samples of water from lakes and streams had PFAS contamination. PFAS is linked to cancer, hormone disruption, developmental issues, and more. Meanwhile, Trump’s EPA is trying to weaken PFAS limits in drinking water.

Civilians and journalists should never be targets. I'm horrified by attacks on Palestinian villagers and Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine. This attack, along with reports that nearby Israeli security forces did not intervene, demands a full investigation and real accountability—as do the many other instances of settler violence against Palestinian civilians and land in the West Bank.
This is exactly why I introduced the West Bank Violence Prevention Act. Extremist settler violence, which endangers lives and undermines peace and security in the region, must end.
Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers trying to gather their autumn olive harvest. Heidi Levine, a veteran photographer for The Post, was also knocked her to the ground, kicked repeatedly and stripped of her camera and phone.

I am deeply disturbed by the alleged white supremacist plot to attack a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. This kind of Anti-Hindu and anti-Indian hate should have no place in our country.
Grateful to law enforcement for acting swiftly and stopping this attack. We must have zero tolerance for this violence and must work together as one people to end it.
The mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend is another horrifying act of violence that has struck our schools. Our schools should be places of safety, dedicated to education and community. No parent should be afraid to drop their kids off at school. But too often, they are now the site of horrible sadness and atrocities. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire community.
Members of Congress owe it to every family affected by gun violence to pass meaningful reforms so this never happens again. I will not rest until every childhood is free from the scourge of gun violence.
