It’s a miracle that no one was killed at Temple Israel, but it’s not a fluke. It’s the result of being prepared.
We encourage everyone to call on Congress to increase funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which provides security grants for synagogues and Jewish institutions.

Randy Fine’s hateful rhetoric has no place in Congress, and it must not go without consequence.
But his hatred is getting a free pass from GOP leaders.
Six U.S. servicemembers died after a plane crash in Iraq during the Iran war, and at least dozens more have been wounded.
We continue to be gravely concerned about the safety and security of American troops, Israelis, and other civilians in the region.
The need for increased synagogue security funding is clear, especially after yesterday’s antisemitic attack at Temple Israel Synagogue.
Urge your elected officials to strengthen the Nonprofit Security Grant Program:
Yesterday, a man stormed a classroom and killed an Army officer who led Old Dominion University’s R.O.T.C. program in an act being investigated as terror.
We mourn the loss of Lt. Col. Brandon Shah. Gun violence should not be the reality of going to school.
We're devastated and deeply concerned about the violence targeting Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI.
We stand with the Michigan Jewish community, and are grateful for law enforcement's quick response.
Trump is recycling disproven 2020 conspiracy theories to justify FBI interference in Arizona’s elections.
This is a calculated attempt to weaponize federal power and justify interference in future elections.
Trump nominated someone who spread vile racism and antisemitism for a top State Department position.
The nomination collapsed, but the mask is off: The Trump administration has provided a home for white supremacist rhetoric and symbolism.
A win for democracy, due process, and the rule of law.
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to overhaul immigration appeals to speed up deportations.
Trump gave Elon Musk and DOGE sweeping access to Social Security. Unsurprisingly, it appears one DOGE staffer stole hundreds of millions of Americans’ data.
This is the corruption Trump has wrought – and we’re paying the price with our data.
TODAY at 5:00 p.m. ET: @repschneider.bsky.social and @wassermanschultz.house.gov join us to respond to the war in Iran and share what comes next.
Don’t miss out:
@haliesoifer.bsky.social in @forward.com: “We will not stop pressing the administration to fulfill its responsibility to explain to the American people how it’s going to achieve its objectives in this war, and what those objectives are.”
What does Women’s History Month mean to the third Jewish woman ever elected to the Senate?
@rosen.senate.gov shares how each and every one of us can make an impact in our communities.
Trump and Republicans know that they will lose free and fair elections.
That’s why Trump is pushing Congress to pass the SAVE Act and disenfranchise millions of voters, including women, young voters, and other groups that historically vote for Democrats.
Tell Congress: Oppose the SAVE Act.
NEW EVENT: Jewish Dems @repschneider.bsky.social and @wassermanschultz.house.gov respond to the war in Iran and share what comes next.
Join us TOMORROW at 5:00 p.m. ET:
Oil and gas prices are skyrocketing because of Trump’s war with Iran.
American families are paying the price for Trump’s reckless leadership.
The Proud Boys think that the administration has given them what they want. Enrique Tarrio said that “there’s no reason to f**king protest.”
“He no longer felt compelled to show up with other Proud Boys to fight left-wing protesters, because the federal government was doing the job itself.”
Disgusting Islamophobia from a sitting member of Congress.
This hatred does not belong anywhere in American society – and it certainly does not belong in the halls of Congress.
Marco Rubio with a leader of the Proud Boys.
There is no excuse for Rubio’s grinning photo with a convicted seditionist.
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.
The Trump administration’s version of honoring its veterans:
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.
“After 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

“We 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.
