Six Hamas captivity survivors, recently released under the current agreement, in a special delegation to Washington DC.
The delegation, organized by The Hostages Families Forum and Hostage Aid, will meet with senior officials in the US administration. The captivity survivors will thank the Trump administration for its commitment to returning all hostages and will share firsthand accounts of the horrors of Hamas tunnels. During the meetings, they will emphasize the need to return all hostages immediately and in a single phase.
The delegation includes: Doron Steinbrecher, Eli Sharabi, Naama Levy, Iair Horn, Omer Shem Tov, and Keith and Aviva Siegel.

Until the last hostage!

MA has again stepped up to protect women's health. Proud to sponsor this bill that ensures access to breast cancer screening. Thanks to my partners @SenJoanLovely @SenatorMikeRush @MurphyRep Mass Radiological Society
Massachusetts is the best state for women — and the state leading cancer research and treatment.
We know early breast cancer detection saves lives. Today, I signed a bill requiring insurers to cover more screening options so more women can access the care they need.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala
