Dem Leaders Decide to Bury Damning Report on Why Trump Won in 2024
The Democratic National Committee has completed its long-awaited analysis on what went wrong in the 2024 campaign. But in a move that will attract intense criticism, it’s keeping the findings secret.

The Democratic Establishment prefers to keep losing to MAGA while burying their snouts in the trough of corporate donations, and they are keeping their pathway to defeat secret in order to protect the most guilty. Not spineless; COMPLICIT!

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.
If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Billionaires like Donald Trump and millionaires running for Governor in New Mexico aren’t going to address the affordability crisis in New Mexico. I am. Starting on day one, I will work to lower costs, raise pay, and support small businesses.

JFREJ condemns in the strongest terms the federal government's continuous targeting & criminalization of the trans community. The passage of this bill would signify even deeper marginalization & harm to transgender children and their families.

Rabbi Susan Goldberg on why we must be vigilant in sharing stories of the cruelty of Trump's authoritarian deportation machine.
From Los Angeles to cities across the country, faith leaders are bearing witness to cruelty, and refusing to look away.
Rabbi Susan Goldberg: “[federal immigration agents are] literally just grabbing people off the street... it is just cruel.”

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

As Jews around the world gather to celebrate Chanukah this week, we are horrified to hear of the antisemitic attack on our fellow Jews in Australia. No one should be afraid to light a Chanukiah. No one should be afraid to attend a community gathering or go to school. (1/2)

“When Jews are attacked for being Jews, and the response is muted, conditional, or delayed, the message is unmistakable. Jews may still live here, but only quietly.... We cannot and will not retreat into hiding our light. The call of this moment is simple and urgent: Light candles everywhere.”
The call of this Hanukkah moment remains simple and urgent: Light candles everywhere. Even when we're under attack.
Even after the attack at Bondi Beach that left 15 people dead in Sydney, Australia, we light Hanukkah candles to publicize the miracle.

I am so tired of people saying how it does not matter that our representatives are beholden to foreign entities! We are struggling here in America while our representatives are voting in favor of sending a shit ton of our money elsewhere to kill other human beings! Stop the shit ENOUGH NOW! NO MORE!
