Jewish Dems
@jewishdems
The political home and voice of Jewish voters, advocating for policies and supporting Democrats who share our core values.
Elections are 100 days away, but the time to act is now. Every single day counts. Let’s get fired up and do our part to elect democrats who will hold Trump and the GOP accountable.
Newsflash for MAGA Republicans: your position on Israel doesn't excuse your ties to white supremacists and antisemites.
The decision by GOP leadership to force a vote on the Massie Amendment cutting all aid to Israel is a cynical political ploy. The Democratic Party will continue to have honest, good-faith conversations about how best to ensure safety and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
What gives @briantylercohen.bsky.social hope in this dark political moment? The fact that people like you are still showing up and still taking action. Watch the full conversation on our Substack and take action with JDCA today.

What happened to Scott Wiener is antisemitism, plain and simple, and we're speaking out. Enough of the hate targeting Jews because of Israel. It's unconscionable.
Jewish Americans don’t trust Trump and Vance for countless reasons – their disastrous handling of the Iran negotiations is just the latest. JDCA CEO Halie Soifer breaks it down on this week’s Jewish Dem Download on Substack.
JDCA CEO Halie Soifer joined BBC News to break down the impact of Trump's bad deal with Iran:
@katy4congress.bsky.social is a champion for working people running against an extreme antisemite for a vacant seat in Congress. Her opponent is unfit for office. Let’s defeat him and elect Katy Padilla Stout for TX-23.
The grandson of Holocaust survivors, @danielbiss.bsky.social is Evanston's mayor and a former State Rep. and Senator. Biss has passed legislation that protects abortion rights and the LGBTQ+ community, as well as campaign finance reform. Now he's running to bring that leadership to Congress.
In Congress, @melissabeanil.bsky.social helped pass the Lilly Ledbetter Act, Wall Street reforms, and the ACA, all to support working families. She's running to represent IL-08 again and to fight to restore democracy and protect healthcare – both fundamental Jewish and Democratic values.

As Michigan’s Secretary of State, @jocelynbenson.bsky.social has stood up for voting rights and helped expand access to the polls. That was enough to draw Trump’s ire. But she isn’t backing down – she’s running for governor to lower costs, expand childcare, and protect democracy.

Lt. Col. Alex Vindman is a combat veteran who blew the whistle on Trump — leading to Trump’s impeachment. He’s faced Trump’s retribution, and instead of backing down, he’s chosen to take the fight directly to Trump by running for Senate. JDCA is proud to endorse him.
