A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution is a formal expression of mourning and condemnation by the United States Senate. It addresses specific antisemitic attacks that occurred in Washington, DC, and Boulder, Colorado, in May and June of 2025. The document highlights the deaths of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky and an attack involving Molotov cocktails. It notes a surge in antisemitism and hate crimes against Jewish Americans since the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack. Finally, the resolution calls on society to combat antisemitism to protect both the Jewish community and democracy.
