Jewish Dems

JDCA is the political home and voice of Jewish voters in support of Democrats who share our core values. After neo-Nazis marched in Charlottesville in 2017, JDCA emerged to give Jewish Americans a voice in fighting Trump’s hateful and dangerous agenda. We’re continuing this fight on Bluesky.

Polls show more districts are shifting blue before Election Day, making one thing clear: voters are growing tired of Trump and the GOP. But polls don’t vote - people do. So make sure to cast your ballot by November 3rd and help fight Trump’s corruption.

In the closing weeks of this election, Republicans are invoking fear as a political tactic, instead of presenting clear plans to address the affordability crisis, the war with Iran, and real issues facing the American people. This will backfire with Jewish voters.

The Republican Party doesn't have an antisemitism problem, they are an antisemitism problem. It is a feature of the party at this point – from the top to the bottom. We have an election in under two weeks, and Jewish voters will vote blue for a myriad of reasons – antisemitism being one of them.

Hundreds of lawyers are spending election week in war rooms & courthouses, ready to file at a moment's notice More than a dozen national firms are in it w/ @democracydefendersaction.org & our complaints are already written Bring it on More @financialtimes.com👇 -TN

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

Our Jewish neighbors deserve to feel safe and welcome in their communities. But with antisemitism on the rise on both sides of the political spectrum here in New York and across the country, too many do not. It’s up to all of us — especially our leaders in government — to fix that.

The Jewish vote can make the difference, especially in critical districts like NY-17. We're proud to support @CaitforNewYork and look forward to working with her when she's elected. A vote for any Republican in 2026 is a vote for Trump. jewishinsider.com/2026/10/jewi...

“If young Republican leaders feel emboldened to praise Hitler in group chats, we shouldn’t be surprised Republicans under Trump echo, espouse, and amplify extreme rhetoric and antisemitic tropes.” - @HalieSoifer in @JTAnews. Read about our new national ad: www.jta.org/2026/10/16/p...

JDCA volunteers have made more than 500,000 voter contacts this cycle, and we aren’t done yet. Join us to phone bank, go door to door, and reach out to your family and friends to turn out the Jewish vote. Every single effort counts. This election ends in 16 days. It’s time to take action. Join us:

We've been across the country talking to Jewish voters. 16 days before the midterms, here's what we're hearing from them.

Young voters across the country who voted for Trump in the last election say they are voting blue this election. They are tired of Trump’s corruption, including his policies on immigration, the war with Iran, and his ties to Epstein. It’s time for change. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

It’s time to act and make your voice heard. Recent polls show Americans trust Democrats to help the economy and stop corruption in Trump’s government. But polls don’t vote - people do. Make a voting plan today and encourage family and friends to do the same.

Despite what Trump and his cronies want you to think, non-citizen voting just isn’t happening. This November, we’re excited to elect leaders focused on the issues that actually impact our lives, like rising prices and ensuring our safety and security. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If Ken Paxton wins in Texas, he knows who to thank, and we know who to blame. Trillionaire Elon Musk has given $158 million to Super PACs to help keep Paxton afloat. That’s an outrageous amount of influence for one individual to wield. Our democracy should not be for sale to the highest bidder.

Trump has a long history of sexist rhetoric, sexual assault allegations, and has been convicted of sexual abuse in court; so while it is tragic that half of the women in his cabinet have resigned or been fired just to be replaced by men, it's not surprising. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/u...

Our hearts are with the Bend, Oregon community after yesterday’s devastating shooting. No child should fear for their life in a classroom. No parent should fear that their child won’t come home from school. We can never accept the epidemic of gun violence as normal.

We stand with survivors, and we stand with @caitfornewyork.bsky.social.

Trump treats the White House and all of DC as his own personal kingdom. The White House Ballroom? An opportunity for a cash grab. Hundreds of trees on public land? Removed to make a better view for a golf course. It’s time for Congress to put an end to this corruption. Vote Blue in 19 days.

Trump claims he wants to “restore election integrity” but opposes international election monitoring, a tradition that helps keep elections free and fair in democracies worldwide. His aim is clear, and we’re ready to defend democracy against his attacks when Dems take control of Congress.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth claims his new Office of Religious Affairs in the Pentagon is to “elevate spiritual readiness," which is an interesting way to describe his goal of normalizing Christian nationalism and white supremacy in the U.S. military. The GOP doesn’t represent us.

New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia doesn’t seem to know where she is or what job she’s accepted. She’s lied about medication abortion and can’t seem to remember where she’s licensed as an attorney. The Trump administration continues to hire the “best and brightest.”

Trump says affordability is a “fake word by Democrats” and the Republican-controlled Congress apparently agrees since they’re doing nothing to bring down costs for Americans. In the next 20 days we can turn the tide and begin to repair what the GOP broke. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The blatant antisemitism shared by Ken Paxton's senior staff is unacceptable and has no place in our politics. Ken Paxton should immediately condemn this rhetoric as dangerous to Jewish Texans. He cannot remain silent when it comes from his own team.

The key to defending democracy in 2028 runs through the gubernatorial races in 2026. More from @benwikler.bsky.social on this week's Jewish Dem Download on Substack.

The Trump administration operates as though it is above the law, and American voters are sick of it. In three weeks, we can elect a Congress that will hold them accountable for this corruption.

We're proud to support @rebeccabennettforcongress.com rain or shine! We're knocking doors for JDCA-endorsed candidates every Sunday until Election Day. Join us: www.mobilize.us/jewishdems/?...

Trump’s record on antisemitism: Froze funding for synagogue security Uses dog whistles and white supremacist symbols/language Accuses Jewish Americans of dual loyalty Weaponizes campus antisemitism to target universities But sure, let's give them the benefit of the doubt for this "Antisemitism tour”

Musk is spending $276 million on the party that gave him power, financial opportunities, and the ability to raise the Nazi salute (twice!) in public with no consequences. It’s a pattern - friends of Trump get power and in return bankroll the GOP’s corrupt agenda. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Hiring one staffer with neo-Nazi ties would be enough, but Jon Ossoff wasn’t reaching far when he called out Mike Collins for hiring “half the Third Reich” to staff his campaign. newrepublic.com/post/216448/...

We agree with DNC Chair Ken Martin: “Americans deserve better than to have their hard-earned tax dollars used for Trump’s illegal schemes.” Vote to put a check on corruption. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Depravity is on the ballot this year. It's underpinning Donald Trump’s agenda, and 100% of Republicans running in the midterms are complicit. A vote for any Republican in 2026 is a vote for Donald Trump. Read what you need to know from this week, and how you can take action:

It is not normal for a U.S. president to say, “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego” and that the destruction of US people and cities are “a small price to pay”. In less than a month, we will elect a Congress to hold Trump accountable to the American people.

ICE has been probing hundreds of nonprofits across the country that help people register to vote as a part of Trump’s attempts to root out non-existent voter fraud. These efforts only serve to make our country less safe with data that can be used to target citizens and non-citizens alike.

No amount of money spent on ads will make the American people forget what Trump’s failed leadership has cost them. A vote for any Republican this November is a vote for failure. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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. 

Are you registered to vote? In Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas, TODAY is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the midterm elections.  Don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard. Check your voter registration status at vote.org.

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.

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.

Republican candidates are beginning to quietly scrub mentions of Trump from their websites due to his plummeting approval rate. Don’t let their distance fool you. A vote for a Republican in the midterms is a vote for Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We are just ONE MONTH AWAY from Election Day! It’s time to take action. Join one of JDCA’s phone banks to help get out the vote for candidates who support our values and will serve as a check on Trump corruption. You can make a difference in the election. Sign up at www.mobilize.us/jewishdems/

Christian nationalism & extremism are on the ballot in 2026. A vote for any Republican in 2026 is a vote for Donald Trump & his extreme agenda. Read the full column by JDCA CEO Halie Soifer on the Jewish Dem Download:

Rather than protecting vulnerable populations on campus, the Education Department is once again rolling back Title IX to allow for discrimination against women and transgender students. This is par for the course for an administration that prioritizes one thing: the whims of Donald Trump.

We're 5 weeks out from Election Day. Here are 5 things you can do today.

Mazel tov to @democrats.org on the newly formed Jewish American Council. JDCA is proud to support & join the effort to create this home for Jewish Democrats within the DNC and look forward to a continued partnership with Dems across the country fighting for our shared values.

A vote for any Republican in 2026 is a vote for Donald Trump's cruelty, chaos, and corruption. Watch more at the Jewish Dem Download on Substack.

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...
