Truth Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Every dollar wasted on non-citizens is stolen from veterans, seniors, and working families. Democrats are about to shutdown the government because they demand we fund health for illegal aliens. - JD Vance. Shut it down.'

Truth Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Every dollar wasted on non-citizens is stolen from veterans, seniors, and working families. Democrats are about to shutdown the government because they demand we fund health for illegal aliens. - JD Vance. Shut it down.'

Trump’s lying (again). The shutdown isn’t about β€˜illegal aliens,’ it’s about Republicans refusing to extend health care subsidies for millions of Americans.

Deadly Attack Outside U.K. Synagogue on Yom Kippur Is Declared Terrorism

This horrific anitsemitic attack on the holiest day of the year for Jews should be widely condemned. Violence only begets more violence.

Protesters and Federal Agents Clash Outside an ICE Detention Facility Near Chicago

There is political violence happening every day in this country. It is perpetrated by ICE, DHS, CPB, FBI and the whole evil alphabet of DJT's militias. Nonviolent resistance is not an option, its an obligation.

This year we are all going into the holiday with a whole in are hearts. May we mix our tears for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and the Israeli hostages, both dead and alive, with the sweetness of hope that this year we will achieve a cease fire and Palestinian liberation,

Stephen Miller was directly involved in one of the largest acts of organized domestic political violence the United States has seen in modern times, the Jan 6 insurrection. Any news org that doesn't make this fact central is helping Miller deceive its customers.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Nobody should be assassinated. However, being assassinated, does not erase the fact that you were a racist, antisemitic, xenophobe.

NYC voters say Mamdani best addressed the Israel-Palestinian conflict, poll shows The survey showed the democratic socialist is favored in a crowded race, though a head-to-head matchup with Andrew Cuomo remains tight.

1. The Jewish establishment needs to sit up and listen to the kids;
2. the last sentence in the story gives away the game. "A group of billionaire realtors, a number of them Jewish, convened an emergency meeting Tuesday morning to discuss ways to help defeat Mamdani." forward.com/fast-forward...

Opinion | Israel’s Gaza Media Ban Is Indefensible

Israel thinks that banning journalists will prevent the world from knowing the extent of the ongoing death and destruction in Gaza. They are wrong. It will only go to strengthen the perception that something truly evil is happening. Something truly evil is happening.

ADL chief attacks Zohran Mamdani, but gets his facts wrong ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt criticized Zohran Mamdani for not visiting synagogues, which he was, and not reaching out to Hasidic voters.

ADL’s Jonathan Greeblatt must resign. He has totally lost the plot, spewing lies in support of a right wing Zionist agenda. This is not making Jews safe. It is arguably making us less safe.
