Opinion | Trumpโ€™s Crusade Against Antisemitism Is Extremely Bad for the Jews Antisemitism is real. But the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend.

J Street Statement on Trump Suspending $400 Million in Grants and Contracts to Columbia University - J Street Todayโ€™s decision will only serve to negatively impact studentsโ€™ experience on campus.

Trump uses combatting antisemitism as a weapon while platforming antisemites.

Exclusive | Draft of Trump Executive Order Aims to Eliminate Education Department Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to โ€œtake all necessary steps to facilitate the closureโ€ based on โ€œthe maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.โ€

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

Man, you just have to be the biggest rube in the universe to think that Trump is halting Ukraine aid because Zelensky didn't wear a tie or kiss the ring.

Muskโ€™s Purges Suddenly Take a Horrific Turnโ€”and Wreck an Ugly MAGA Lie We can now be depressingly confident that their mass cuts are killing people.

Horrific: One of the USAID programs Trump just terminated was set to deliver lifesaving treatment to hundreds of thousands of starving kids abroad. Much of it is now sitting in a Georgia warehouse.

Rubio's promise to preserve urgent assistance was a lie.

To President Zelenskyy, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelenskyy, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is...

We believe that the people of Ukraine deserve sovereignty, safety, and to live freely, and we are so very sorry that our own leadership is making this all less possible for you, that because of them, America has become an adversary instead of an ally.

1st month Trump recap, TL;DR version: move fast, break things, hug autocrats & oligarchs, abandon allies, ditch diplomacy, blowup Constitutional norms, push lies & conspiracism, punch down, enrich the rich, enrich self, imperil planet, play golf. Oh, and eggs. What'd I miss?

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.
