Proud to share my new op-ed in TIME magazine: "Antisemitism in the Shadow of a Justified Outrage." Amid rightful anger over Gaza's crisis, we can't ignore rising antisemitism. Let's build solidarity through empathy.
Antisemitism in the Shadow of a Justified Outrage

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Today, as the Jewish community mourns, my recent TIME piece feels especially urgent. I wrote about how justified outrage over Gaza has created conditions where antisemitic language and violence find new cover, and why protecting Jewish safety must be part of any moral response.

History teaches that in times of intense global conflict, antisemitism finds its most fertile ground. The seeds of that hate—watered by the lie of collective Jewish responsibility—have borne the bitter fruit of terror in Manchester on Yom Kippur. We cannot allow this poison to grow.

My new article, "An Enemy From Within” is now live. I analyze Donald Trump’s recent address to our nation's military leaders and the dangerous demand for personal loyalty over constitutional duty. A line has been crossed, and the integrity of our democracy is at stake.
"An Enemy From Within": Trump's Plan to Turn the Military on American Citizens
Donald Trump called American cities "training grounds" for our troops. We need to take that threat seriously.

Let's be clear: Donald Trump CHOSE this shutdown. He'd rather hold the country hostage than fund healthcare for millions. Every hardworking federal employee without a paycheck knows who to thank.

Donald Trump and congressional republicans clearly can’t govern. They are entirely responsible for this shutdown.

A picture is worth a thousand words. As Donald Trump delivered a rambling, hyper-political speech, America's top military leaders sat in disciplined, stone-faced silence. Their professionalism stood in stark contrast to the partisan rally they were forced to attend. And their faces say it all.

It sure would be nice to live in precedented times for a change.

Donald Trump told America's top generals: If you disagree with me and leave the room, "there goes your rank, there goes your future." This isn't leadership. It's a threat. He doesn't want a military loyal to the Constitution, he wants one loyal only to him. Yet another red line for our democracy.

The Republican Party controls the White House and Congress. If the government shuts down, they deserve every ounce of blame. Full stop.

You know we’re living in the upside down when the president is more concerned about windmills and Tylenol than he is about assault weapons.

In my new Substack essay I argue that the Anchorage summit wasn’t just a gaffe — it was a geopolitical green light that helped embolden Putin and accelerated attacks across Europe and Ukraine; read From Anchorage to Anarchy and why Trump’s spectacle costs lives:

The moment Donald Trump welcomed Vladimir Putin on U.S. soil, we knew the result would be bad. Now, in hindsight, it’s clear it was a diplomatic disaster. My latest in Substack: how the 2025 Alaska summit helped shape a more dangerous world.

24 Ukrainian pensioners killed.
800 drones launched in one night.
NATO airspace violated.
These aren’t isolated incidents.
They’re the result of Donald Trump's disastrous foreign policy.
