Fast Forward Jewish Democrat Josh Gottheimer Prevails in N.J. House Race
After an ugly contest that filled the airwaves with attack ads, Democrat Josh Gottheimer has won a New Jersey congressional race against Republican incumbent Scott Garrett. After all the ballots were tallied on Wednesday, the Jewish former Bill Clinton aide held a 3% edge over his Tea Party rival, a bright spot for liberals in…

Fast Forward Ari Fleischer Rescinds Endorsement of Donald Trump at Last Moment
— Ari Fleischer, a White House press secretary under President George W. Bush, said he will leave his presidential ballot blank, walking back his endorsement of Donald Trump earlier this year.

News This Jewish Democrat Raised $13K for GOP on GoFundMe After ‘Nazi’ Firebombing

Another day, another anti-Semitic trope in defense of Donald Trump. The latest defense is surprising, though, coming as it does from Caroline Glick in the Jerusalem Post. Glick writes that Republican Jews are committing “collective political suicide” by not supporting Trump — and that they’re taking the Republican Party, if not the entirety of American…

Community How Trump Destroyed the Party of Lincoln
This past Sunday marked the 15th Anniversary of 9/11. It was one of the defining moments in American history; on that day, and in the days that followed, ordinary people transcended self-interest through heroic acts, self-sacrifice, and bravery. Sadly, during the 2016 presidential election cycle, much of this exuberance has been eroded by the polarizing…
