Americans all over the country, even in Deep Red areas, have had enough of Trump and the GOP’s lies, corruption, and being saddled with the economic impacts of the administration’s recklessness.

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.

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.

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.

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:

What do Trump’s arch, ballroom, pause on wind-farm construction, and White House media ban have in common? Trump claims they are all national security concerns. Meanwhile, his war with Iran continues to deplete our resources and directly puts American lives in danger at home and abroad.

Wilber Garces Perez came to the U.S. legally. ICE agents shot him and left him in a detention center with no bed or pain medication, with a bullet still in him. Inhumane barely begins to cover it. The GOP refuses to hold these officers and this administration accountable. This is why we vote.
