Today, Election Day in many states, should be about celebrating the right to vote and engagement in the democratic process. Stop weaponizing our community as a political football — and stop professing to care about Jews while fomenting antisemitism and attacking our democracy.

Donald Trump has no business telling Jewish people how we should vote — and his constant attacks on Jews who don’t align with his politics and ideology are dangerous and appalling.

This week, FBI director Kash Patel cut the FBI’s ties with the ADL, calling them an “extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization.”
This is the authoritarian playbook: delegitimize watchdogs, invert reality, and cast those who fight hate as enemies of the state.

This administration’s latest attacks—accusing opponents of “terrorism”—are part of a dangerous pattern meant to silence dissent and undermine the rule of law. Our government should enforce the law, not weaponize it. Our safety depends on protecting our core democratic norms.
President Trump suggested that two prominent donors to liberal causes should be investigated for possibly funding domestic terrorism.
“I hear names of some pretty rich people that are radical left people,” he said, naming George Soros and Reid Hoffman. https://wapo.st/4gNCouI

Antisemitism is real and rising. Unfortunately, today’s House hearing on “unions & antisemitism” sought to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns as a wedge to undermine the right to association and to organize - and that does nothing to keep Jews, or anyone, safe.
