Trump’s record on antisemitism: Froze funding for synagogue security Uses dog whistles and white supremacist symbols/language Accuses Jewish Americans of dual loyalty Weaponizes campus antisemitism to target universities But sure, let's give them the benefit of the doubt for this "Antisemitism tour”

Musk is spending $276 million on the party that gave him power, financial opportunities, and the ability to raise the Nazi salute (twice!) in public with no consequences. It’s a pattern - friends of Trump get power and in return bankroll the GOP’s corrupt agenda. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Inside Elon Musk’s $276 Million Midterm Rescue Mission for Republicans

The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

Depravity is on the ballot this year. It's underpinning Donald Trump’s agenda, and 100% of Republicans running in the midterms are complicit. A vote for any Republican in 2026 is a vote for Donald Trump. Read what you need to know from this week, and how you can take action:

It is not normal for a U.S. president to say, “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego” and that the destruction of US people and cities are “a small price to pay”. In less than a month, we will elect a Congress to hold Trump accountable to the American people.

ICE has been probing hundreds of nonprofits across the country that help people register to vote as a part of Trump’s attempts to root out non-existent voter fraud. These efforts only serve to make our country less safe with data that can be used to target citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.

The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.

Democrats Lead Governor Races Deep in Republican Territory, Polls Show

Democratic advantages in the races for governor in Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Alaska reflect deep unhappiness with President Trump and the economy. A Republican leads in Kansas.

Pete Hegseth is doubling down on his harmful rhetoric and imagery. In a speech at the Air Force Academy over the weekend, Hegseth appeared in front of a logo that greatly differs from the official Department of Defense seal and looks eerily similar to symbols we’ve seen before.

Pete Hegseth’s Air Force Academy speech backdrop draws scrutiny: ‘Accidental Nazi is just not a thing’

An angular eagle behind the defense secretary departed from the Pentagon’s established branding. Critics saw echoes of the Third Reich.

Disgusting antisemitism from the GOP gubernatorial candidate’s family member and former campaign staff. This is what happens when election deniers, extremists, and conspiracy theorists lead a political party. We condemn it in the strongest possible terms.

Rather than protecting vulnerable populations on campus, the Education Department is once again rolling back Title IX to allow for discrimination against women and transgender students. This is par for the course for an administration that prioritizes one thing: the whims of Donald Trump.

Trump’s new million-dollar taxpayer-funded ad campaign is not only legally dubious, but it’s also blatant propaganda asking the American public to ignore the fact that he both started and is now prolonging the war with Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

A lower court blocked Trump’s corrupt “third country” deportations, so (once again) he’s turning to the Supreme Court to get his way. He is pleading with them to allow him to continue to send people to countries where they have no family, no history, and no connections.

It’s not normal for a U.S. President to triple his net worth while in office, but Trump just hit a milestone. He’s now worth $7 billion while Americans struggle to fill their gas tanks and put food on the table. A vote for Republicans this November is a vote against affordability of basic needs.

Steve Rattner@steverattner.bsky.social · 3w ago

Trump’s net worth hit $7 billion in 2026. That’s triple where it was in early 2024, according to Forbes data.

Elections are a binary choice, and any vote for a Republican in 2026 is a vote for Donald Trump. In this context, it’s both inaccurate and irresponsible to equate the challenges Jewish Americans face on “both sides” of the political aisle in the midterms. Read more on this false equivalency:
