Israeli forces unlawfully detained Brad Lander & dozens of American rabbis for harvesting olives in the West Bank. It's not illegal to harvest olives; Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people is. All detainees must be released immediately. We must end the genocide.
I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.
Proud to have @repangiecraig.bsky.social, @chuygarcia.house.gov, @pingree.house.gov, @kamlager-dove.house.gov, @bynum.house.gov, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib's support on this bill.

Getting sick should not make you go broke. In 45 states, workers can have their wages forcibly cut to pay off medical debt. I'm leading a bill with @bobbyscott.house.gov and @repcasar.bsky.social to ban this cruel practice.
When Congress fails, Minnesota steps up. Proud to see @governorwalz.mn.gov take action to block copper mining and protect our Boundary Waters. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
