Happy Women’s History Month and belated International Women’s Day.

@slotkin.senate.gov – one of two Jewish women in the Senate – shares a message she would tell her younger self: You get no extra credit for having a great idea and not saying it.

He Had a Purple Heart, PTSD and a Rap Sheet. He Had to Leave the U.S. After a long battle with drug addiction, Sae Joon Park felt settled in a new life. But he was deported last year and is now fighting to get back to Hawaii.

The Trump administration’s version of honoring its veterans:Β 

Sae Joon Park came to the U.S. at age 7, served in the Army, was shot in combat, and earned a Purple Heart. He was just deported.Β

β€˜America Doesn’t Want My Children or Grandchildren’ The Cruz family spent years building a life in New York. Then the risks of staying became too great.

β€œAfter 400 years in this country, suddenly America doesn’t want my children and grandchildren.”

A father who worked multiple jobs. A teacher who served public school students. Two American daughters. All are leaving America because they fear Trump’s immigration system would tear them apart.

Women’s rights are a Jewish value.

Jewish history is filled with women who have led with courage, wisdom, and resilience. On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the achievements of women – including Jewish women – and continue our fight for women’s rights and equality.

Why Trump Changed His Mind on Kristi Noem Congressional questions about contracts, ads, and extramarital sex ended her tenure.

Kristi Noem ran one of the most extreme immigration crackdowns in modern history, but the final straw for Trump’s fragile ego was an ad campaign that made her look too important.

Noem’s departure is a victory, but it won’t stop the cruelty from DHS. We must stay vigilant.

Trump Keeps Gambling With the Economy β€” And Getting Away With It President Donald Trump has taken one risk after another that could have destabilized the American economy. Iran is the latest crisis to test U.S. economic resilience.

Time and again, Donald Trump has put his extreme agenda before economic prosperity for Americans.

American families are shouldering the consequences of Trump’s reckless leadership.

Inside the Underground Safe Houses Sheltering Immigrants From ICE In Springfield, Ohio, some Americans have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for immigrant families who could be targeted in raids.

Haitians helped revive Springfield, Ohio’s economy, filling critical jobs in manufacturing and health care. Now, Trump wants them deported overnight.

We stand with Haitian families and will fight to protect immigrant communities.

What’s Driving the Partisan Divide on Iran? Responsibility vs. acquiescence

This week’s Iran war powers vote in Congress was not simply political gamesmanship, despite falling largely along partisan lines.

The White House must present a clear strategy for ongoing military operations in Iran.

As measles spreads in South Carolina, RFK Jr’s allies work to gut vaccine laws Activists who dispute safety of vaccines are pushing to limit immunization requirements in schools

β€œWe will see more outbreaks. We will see children missing school, parents missing work… Some of them will die.”

States battling outbreaks should be strengthening protections against measles, not enabling RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

A January 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was just sentenced to life in prison for repeatedly sexually abusing middle schoolers.

This is horrific, and it happened because Donald Trump released him from prison.Β

Democrats overwhelmingly supported the war powers resolutions in the House and Senate because the White House lacks a clear strategy on Iran. Republicans acquiesced to Trump.

We can stand with our allies without launching a war with no clear objectives.

The Trump economy: jobs cut across every sector and a rising unemployment rate.Β

Good riddance.

This is the impact of public pressure, including more than 10,000 letters from JDCA volunteers demanding Noem’s impeachment.

But the Trump admin's cruelty won't end because there’s a new boss at DHS. Our work toward accountability and change must continue.

Judges in a Trump stronghold condemn ICE tactics β€œIf the government may simply seize someone without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize anyone,” one judge wrote.

Even federal judges in the reddest states are calling out ICE for going too far.

Four judges in deep-red West Virginia who have been inundated by ICE lawsuits are using their rulings to grab Americans by the shoulders and warn against a descent into authoritarianism:

β€œTrump has shown at every instance that freedom for the people of Iran is not his priority. Every few hours, the administration jumps to a new justification or objective for this war, but never is a democratic transition and self-determination for Iranians a part of the discussion.”

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

Another racist and antisemitic Republican group chat...

This time, Republicans from Miami used slurs hundreds of times. One member even described the chat as β€œNazi heaven.”

We’re discouraged but not surprised. This is what happens when the White House emboldens & embraces the extreme far right.

Support the Iran War Powers Resolution We urge every member of the Senate and House to reassert their constitutionally mandated authority over the use of U.S. military force and support the War Powers Resolution when it comes before them for a vote this week.

Our hope for a democratic future for the Iranian people does not eliminate the need for President Trump to seek and receive the authorization of Congress for continued military operations.

Urge your representatives to back the War Powers Resolution:

It’s a Holy Time, but Immigrants in Detention Are Denied Access to Observe

ICE standards say detainees must be allowed to practice their faith. Yet priests had to sue just to administer ashes on Ash Wednesday, and Muslim detainees lack chaplains during Ramadan.

This is not how a country that prides itself on religious liberty should operate.

US troops were told war on Iran was β€˜all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

Military commanders are reportedly invoking Christian nationalist rhetoric about biblical β€œend times" to justify the decision to strike Iran.

This admin seems to have a different rationale for this war every day, but a Christian nationalist agenda is incredibly dangerous.

The Impossible Predicament of the Uninsured My aunt couldn’t afford to go to the hospital. She ended up there anyway.

β€œShe pulled over but didn’t go to the hospital; she couldn’t afford it.”

Now, with ACA subsidies slashed by Republicans and premiums rising by hundreds per month, Americans face the same choice. Trump’s plan offers few answers for those without coverage.

Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

Across more than 90 races since 2024, Democrats have overperformed by an average of 13 points.

Arkansas is the latest example – the ninth time Democrats flipped a district in a special election since the start of Trump’s second term. Momentum matters going into the midterms.

The Iranian regime has oppressed and killed its own people and is responsible for the murders of Americans, Israelis, and Jews around the world.

But as we’ve learned from history, launching a conflict in the Middle East is far easier than ending one.

What Trump avoided in the State of the Union could haunt him in November The president’s state of the union was notable for something his second term has largely lacked: restraint.

No new solutions. No serious policy proposals. Just political theater and the exploitation of American heroism that was completely unrelated to Trump.

We deserve more.
