Last June, an opportunity to fix a major issue in United States policy was squandered when the Supreme Court wrongly decided to uphold birthright citizenship. This ruling upheld a tradition not found in U.S. constitutional law, but rather British common law, and prevented us from stemming the flow of anti-American citizens from overwhelming our society. Last week, President Donald Trump signed a pair of executive orders trying to right this wrong, and America’s domestic enemies are fuming.

Four Jewish bar associations are demanding representation after City Hall named a 19-member judicial advisory panel with no Jewish members

New York City has no shortage of accomplished Jewish lawyers, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, professors, and legal advocates. Yet Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration completed a powerful judicial advisory committee without a single Jewish member whom four leading Jewish bar associations could identify.

New York Magazine devotes an issue to Middle Eastern New York — and Israel has no place in it

A few weeks ago, my supervisor treated the office to a breakfast of bagels, which I understood might or might not be kosher. “The cream cheese is kosher; I see the labels on the containers,” she proudly stated. I thanked her but abstained from the circular snack because I was not familiar with the bakery.

Zohran Mamdani is not yelling “Kill Jews” into a megaphone; he does not have to. As New York City’s mayor, he has perfected a more sophisticated method: raise the temperature with high-profile attacks on the Jewish state and its leaders, encourage street agitation, then step back and claim he is merely offering “critiques of a political leader, not of people of a specific faith.” The plausible deniability is the point. The results are playing out on Manhattan sidewalks.

Last week, tens of thousands of migrants—predominantly young, military-age men from Morocco—swarmed the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. In a matter of hours, an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 people overwhelmed a territory of roughly 84,000 residents. They swam, walked, and pushed through border controls. Dozens died. Spanish forces eventually restored order with Moroccan cooperation, and most were returned, but the images were unmistakable: a sudden, large-scale incursion of fighting-age males testing Europe’s resolve.

In the heated Michigan U.S. Senate Democratic primary, the endorsement of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed by Senator Elizabeth Warren—joining Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—spotlights a party that has veered dramatically from where it was 20 years ago. El-Sayed, a terrorist sympathizer who mourned the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and criticized his rival for condemning political violence, is indicative of a national trend that Democrats have followed in the past few years.
