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.

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.

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.

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.
