“A growing number of American Jews no longer identify with Zionism, and the old assumption that Jewish identity demands loyalty to Israel’s government is coming apart”

A #Trump self inflicted disaster
- tariffs (and resultant inflation)
- Iran war (and resultant cost of fuel increases)
- ICE
- greed (corruption)
Unsurprising from a NY crime family boss who has over 40 convictions for dishonesty.

A huge repudiation for the #Trump Republicans. Will take many years for the Republicans recover. Self inflicted and well deserved. #Midterms2026

The US has rescued itself, just in time, from the jaws of fascism and foreign influence. #Midterms2026
