SAVE THE DATE! We're looking forward to hosting an issues forum with candidates who are running in the Democratic Primary for NJ-11. Join us on January 13 to hear the candidate address the issues of importance to Jewish voters.

If you're setting a resolution to get more involved in 2026, look no further. Sign up for Jewish Dems email alerts so you never miss a chance to take action for our values.

Yesterday, multiple Cabinet officials and agencies posted overtly religious messages from U.S. government accounts. It’s clear the Trump White House is willing to disregard the Constitution in many respects, and the separation of religion and state is just one of many recent examples. Read more:

Our year was defined by resilience and growth. We grew as an organization and movement more than we thought was possible in 2025, and couldn’t have achieved this success without you. Join us in 2026 with strength, determination, and gratitude for what we achieved in the past year.

We wish all those celebrating a merry Christmas!

Hegseth’s allegations continue to pile up: a second strike on survivors, sharing battle plans on unsecure platforms, and making reckless, violent orders. Hegseth can’t be trusted. Tell him to resign:

Pete Hegseth’s recklessness has proven that he is not fit to lead. Tell Congress that Hegseth must be removed from office.

A scathing, must-read report on the future of the Republican Party. This is what happens when party leaders like Donald Trump embrace and normalize antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and Holocaust deniers.

Vance's comments at Turning Point USA's conference represent the dark future of the Republican Party. Just like Trump, he is unwilling to stand up to the racists and antisemites who are taking hold of the GOP.

Anyone who espouses a “vision of America as a white, Christian nation,” and uses white supremacist dog whistles like “cultural genocide” is not fit to serve in a high-ranking State Department position. This type of rhetoric comes from the top. This is the GOP Trump has created.

Cancer treatment. Mental health care. Retirement plans. These are the things top of mind for America’s working families – all of which are on the line when the ACA subsidies expire.

Nick Fuentes is an advocate of the “great replacement” and Holocaust denial, yet still gets amplified by GOP extremists. This is not a partisan issue. Sign here to condemn Fuentes:

Calling affordability a “hoax” doesn’t make grocery prices go down. While the Trump administration makes desperate pleas to persuade Americans that the economy is performing well, we’re all feeling the reality of tighter budgets and higher costs.

Small business owners are 3 times more likely to rely on ACA subsidies than others. The Republican healthcare agenda will push them out of coverage and out of business.

Another shameful attack on the transgender community by RFK Jr. and the Trump administration. This will do nothing but harm young people in need of care.

In 2025, JDCA stood up and spoke out. Together, we broke records and powered crucial Dem victories. We couldn’t have achieved this success without all of you. We are heading into 2026 with momentum and determination - and we’re ready to get to work. Read our report: jewishdems.org/jdca2025year...

The latest jobs report paints the grim reality of rising unemployment, higher prices, and more profound economic inequality. “The affluent are fine, if not thriving, while lower-income households struggle with high rent payments, rising delinquencies, and job uncertainty.”

Not a single GOP senator has signed onto @schumer.senate.gov’s resolution to condemn Nick Fuentes for spreading disgusting antisemitism and Holocaust denial. This should be easy. Tell your members of Congress what you think:

The VA plans to cut another 35,000 healthcare positions. The consequences? Longer appointment delays for our veterans who need critical care.

@sarajacobs.house.gov is leading a new resolution tackling the spread of antisemitism through AI models. “Corporations need to step up and maintain standards and safeguards for AI systems that protect human rights and the safety of all people, including the Jewish community.”

NEW VIDEO: Amidst the darkness, our light has never been brighter. Our movement has never been stronger. And our work has never been more important. With your continued partnership, we will elect Democrats who share our values, advocate for the Jewish community, and defend our democracy. Join us.

HUGE: Democrats have the 218 signatures needed to force a vote to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Congress must take action to extend these lifesaving health care subsidies for 22 million Americans. Bring the vote to the floor, Speaker Johnson.

The Coast Guard downgraded its classification of swastikas and nooses from hate symbols, which they are, to “potentially divisive.” This after seemingly agreeing not to implement this policy. This administration cannot leave hate symbols up for debate and must reverse this decision.

Mike Johnson is refusing to call a vote to extend ACA subsidies – effectively guaranteeing that millions will face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Republicans are hellbent on making your healthcare even more expensive.

This is how our ability to fight hatred is slipping away 👇 @jewishdems.bsky.social

Amid the darkness of this week, we continue to try to find light by standing together. 🕎

The GOP has an antisemitism problem. As we shared in @jewishinsider.com: “This isn’t happening in a vacuum: [Secretary of State Marco] Rubio, [Vice President JD] Vance, and [Elon] Musk have all defended the extremist AfD party. Antisemitism is a feature of the Republican Party, not a bug.”

JD Vance is pushing anti-immigrant conspiracies. It’s a clear exploitation of Jewish safety to promote his dangerous agenda. If Vance wants to fight antisemitism, he’d invest in our community and combat white supremacy instead of promoting extreme conspiracy theories.

We are grateful to have worked with Rob Reiner, who directed our ad featuring Bill Kristol and Billy Crystal -- aka "2Bills4Biden" -- in 2020. Rob was a creative genius, visionary, and a wonderful human being, and we mourn this incredible loss. May his memory be a blessing.

Haile Soifer honors the victims of the Bondi Beach massacre and discusses the rise in anti-Jewish attacks across the globe. Her full interview: https://contrarian.substack.com/p/hanukkah-celebration-turns-to-tragedy

Today, I signed the following joint statement with the Jewish members of the Senate Democratic Caucus in response to the murder of 15 people in Sydney at a menorah lighting on the first night of Hanukkah. 🧵

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Antisemitic Attack in Sydney

As the Reiner family and their many friends and admirers grieve, the president of the United States has gone lower than we thought possible with his insults and attention-seeking behavior. Shameful.

We are shocked and saddened by the death of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Rob leaves an incredible legacy as an unwavering advocate for our values, and we were honored to have worked with him in his political advocacy in 2020 and 2022. May Rob and Michele’s memories be a blessing.

We’re inspired and moved by the heroism of Ahmed al Ahmed, who risked his life and wrestled a gun from one of the attackers during the mass shooting at Bondi Beach. We wish him a swift recovery.

Hope is a Jewish value. Happy Hanukkah. May we continue to find light amid the darkness.

Jewish Dems are devastated by the antisemitic terror attack in Australia. We condemn it in the strongest possible terms and stand with the Jewish community of Sydney. Read our full statement:

Students at Brown University were preparing for final exams yesterday when another horrific school shooter murdered two students and injured nine. We can end the epidemic of gun violence, which has taken far too many lives, and call on our leaders to lead. Enough is enough. We demand action.

We are outraged and devastated by the unconscionable antisemitic massacre in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah. We're praying for the families of the victims and the injured, and stand with the Jewish community in Australia and around the world reeling from this depraved and senseless attack.

Devastated by the horrific antisemitic massacre targeting a Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach in Australia. There are no words adequate to describe the depravity of such an attack, but the pain felt by Jews in this moment is agonizing. Outraged by the senseless violence and praying for the victims.

There are clear signs that the Supreme Court is planning to overturn 90 years of precedent to give the president even more power.

A new poll shows the impact of Trump’s affordability crisis: Nearly 3 in 10 voters said they delayed getting medical care over the past year because of costs. One-third said they have skipped a meal. Two-thirds said they are buying less food.

A study found that 40% of children who died in pediatric hospitalizations would still be alive if they’d had insurance. Trump and Republicans’ healthcare cuts are a war on children.

This year at JDCA, we have found, spread, and created light amid the darkness emanating from the White House. This week, we celebrated Hanukkah with an event that honored our shared successes, paid tribute to our sources of light, and honored the lives tragically lost this year. Read more:

First, Trump’s tariffs and trade wars wreaked havoc on American farmers. Now, his $12 billion self-imposed bailout isn’t even enough to recoup their losses. Trump is the arsonist, not the firefighter.

Disgusting. Randy Fine is blatantly engaging in hate speech, and he’s proud of it. Every member of Congress should unequivocally condemn Randy Fine’s abhorrent comments.

Pete Hegseth must resign. He has risked our national security, endangered U.S. personnel, and his recent actions may have been a war crime. Sign if you agree:

Republicans have once again failed the American people. More than 20 million Americans will face skyrocketing healthcare costs because they refused to extend ACA tax credits. Healthcare is a human right.

It’s really simple: You can disagree with someone on policy without being a xenophobic liar and calling for their deportation.

Republicans are refusing to listen to their own voter base and lower the cost of healthcare. If they’re not loyal to their own constituents, who are they serving? The answer is Donald Trump.
