NEW: Tom Cotton leads 27 Senate Republicans in letter urging AG Garland and HHS Sec. Cardona to address 'the outbreak of anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist mobs on college campuses.'

The entire Senate GOP leadership team (McConnell, Thune, Barrasso, Daines, Ernst, & Capito) signed on.

You can't describe a poison you've never tasted.

Please stop telling me in private that you care. Publicly condemn antisemitism.

Tonight, Jewish families around the world will begin the celebration of Passover with the traditional seder meal. Michelle and I loved the seders we held in the White House, and the story of Passover – with its focus on resilience, redemption, and renewal in the face of

Will join Congressman Mike Lawler Bruce Blakeman Sid Rosenberg & others.

These students should NOT be threatened or live in fear. 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

I am horrified and disgusted with the antisemitism being spewed at and around the Columbia University campus. Hate has no place in our city, and I have instructed the NYPD to investigate any violation of law they receive a report about and will arrest anyone found to be breaking

Jewish students should feel safe on campus. Period.

SHOCK: Senator Fetterman decides to record his pre-Passover message dressed in formal attire. In doing so, he destroys the dreams of thousands of Jewish men who thought they finally had an excuse to show up to the Seder in a hoodie and sweats, because “Mom’s favorite Senator

More absolute insanity out of Columbia University tonight.

.The White House statement on protests at Columbia University:

In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students this morning recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus:
