Jewish Dems

Chag Sukkot Sameach.

During Sukkot, we welcome guests into our Sukkah for festive meals, a reminder of our duty to welcome the stranger and care for our communities.

⁨Democrats want to prevent millions of Americans from facing higher health care costs or losing their coverage altogether.

Donald Trump's response?

I don’t care.⁩

We must elect @abigailspanberger.com as Governor of Virginia next month. She’ll fight on the front lines against the Trump administration’s attacks on federal workers and reproductive care.

Republicans own this shutdown.

“They control not only the White House, but they have majorities in the House and in the Senate. And this is what they do with the power they have. They do not know how to govern.”

37 people arrested and American kids separated from parents after ICE raid at Chicago apartments | CNN Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken.

Separating families. Ignoring due process. Even detaining U.S. citizens.

This is Trump’s inhumane, authoritarian agenda.

House Republicans think protecting the healthcare of everyday Americans is less important than their vacation.

We strongly disagree.

Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare.

It’s day 6 of the government shutdown.

Republicans still won’t come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Trump and Republicans are cutting essential support for an already vulnerable population.

Another step in the Republican plan to cut Social Security.

Abigail Spanberger calls threat of mass layoffs during shutdown an ‘egregious attack on Virginians’ - WTOP News Democratic nominee for the Virginia governor's seat Abigail Spanberger is warning that a government shutdown will seriously impact not just federal employees, but also everyday people in the state.

Trump’s government shutdown means hundreds of thousands of Virginians may lose their paychecks.

It’s devastating, and Abigail Spanberger will be a governor who will stand up for their jobs and lower costs.

End the GOP Shutdown and Protect Americans’ Healthcare If Congress lets Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, millions of Americans would see healthcare costs rise by 75% at a time when rising costs are already hurting Americans, and millions will lose…

Trump and Republicans shut down the government instead of lowering healthcare costs for millions of American families.

Democrats will keep fighting to save healthcare for all Americans – not tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

Urge Congress to protect healthcare and end the shutdown:

How Washington Became a Testing Ground for ICE A series of arrests captured on video reveal how immigration officers have worked with other law enforcement agencies to identify migrants during stops for minor infractions.

Masked agents snatching people from the streets. Communities living in fear.

This is the inhumane plan that Trump wants to see expanded outside of D.C. – with massive overreaches of power and weaponization of local and federal agencies to fit his dangerous agenda.

Monthly Jobs Reports Are on Hold During the Shutdown The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its report on schedule during the 2019 shutdown. This time, nearly every employee was furloughed, per agency contingency plans.

With the government shut down, Trump got out of sharing what would have been an ABYSMAL jobs report.

Americans know the truth – Trump’s tariffs and economic policies are raising prices.

Donald Trump Really Needed Yom Kippur Prayers aren’t enough for someone incapable of atonement.

Donald Trump’s actions and inclinations epitomize what we collectively atoned for on Yom Kippur.

But prayers aren’t enough for someone incapable of atonement.

End the GOP Shutdown and Protect Americans’ Healthcare If Congress lets Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, millions of Americans would see healthcare costs rise by 75% at a time when rising costs are already hurting Americans, and millions will lose…

Republicans would rather shut down the government – leaving thousands without pay and our country in chaos – than ensure millions of Americans access healthcare.

Democrats are ready to negotiate and reopen the government. Where are Republicans?

Tell your elected officials to end the shutdown:

Opinion | What DOGE’s sledgehammer did to Virginia’s economy A reckless approach to governing has been bad for jobs and the cost of living.

As federal layoffs destroy Virginia’s economy, Abigail Spanberger vows to protect federal workers and boost Virginia’s business ecosystem.

Her opponent has downplayed federal layoffs and praised Trump’s disastrous economic plans.

The choice is clear.

Trump Signals Greater Use of Military in U.S. Cities In a deeply political address to top generals, Trump warned he would make greater use of the U.S. military in American cities.

Trump wants to use U.S. cities as “training grounds” for U.S. troops – citing a “war from within.”

Not only does Trump want to punish half the country deemed “disloyal,” but he seems to enjoy doing it.

The Trump Administration is now promising to use the government shutdown to kill Virginia jobs. It's outrageous.

White House Uses Shutdown to Maximize Pain and Punish Political Foes

Trump sees the shutdown as an opportunity to punish states that didn’t vote for him and lay off more federal workers.

If he were on the American people’s side, he would not cancel $8 billion in funding and leave thousands of federal employees – including the military – without pay.

We are deeply saddened by the attack outside of a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Yom Kippur – the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

No person should have to fear for their safety while in prayer. The rise in antisemitic violence must end.

G’mar Chatima Tova.

We wish you a meaningful Yom Kippur.

End the GOP Shutdown and Protect Americans’ Healthcare If Congress lets Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, millions of Americans would see healthcare costs rise by 75% at a time when rising costs are already hurting Americans, and millions will lose…

Republicans have shut down the government because they want to strip away your healthcare. Democrats are ready to pass a bill that will fund the government, protect healthcare, and restore stability.

Tell your elected officials to stand with Democrats, protect healthcare, and end the GOP shutdown:

Virginians are already facing the dire impacts of DOGE, reckless tariffs, and attacks on their healthcare coverage. And now, our Commonwealth faces totally unnecessary job cuts as President Trump promises to enact mass firings. (1/3)

Trump and the Republican majorities in Congress had a choice between:
a) shutting the government down
b) working with Democrats to lower costs and prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing.

Republicans have the keys to the kingdom.

The White House. The Senate. The House.

Tonight, they have used their power to shut down the government.

The American people, including our patriotic federal workers, will pay the price for Republicans' callousness and incompetence.

Republicans want to double health premiums for millions of Americans next year.
 
Democrats want to extend coverage & ensure Americans can afford health care.
 
It's really that black and white.
