NEWS ALERT  APRIL 21, 2026  COUNTRY OVER PARTY Michigan Democrat criticizes party for nominating Hezbollah-supporting regent candidate Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet said some of her party’s nominees are ‘out of step with my values and those of Democrats across our state’ By Marc Rod Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI), a Democrat representing a swing district in Michigan, condemned the state party for nominating an attorney who expressed support for Hezbollah for the University of Michigan Board of Regents, as well as other harassment and divisive tactics delegates targeted at pro-Israel candidates at the party convention last weekend. She argued that such activity and decisions will ultimately help Republicans in the November midterm elections. “What I saw on the MDP Convention floor is deeply troubling — for what it says about who we are, how we win, and whether we will be able to meet this urgent moment,” McDonald Rivet said on X on Tuesday, emphasizing that, coming from the only Trump-won district held by a Democrat in the state, she “know[s] how hard it is to win.” READ THE FULL REPORT →  STORIES YOU MAY HAVE MISSED Trump extends Iran ceasefire indefinitely amid stalled negotiations The president said the military blockade would continue as he gave Iran’s ‘fractured’ government time to present a proposal By Emily Jacobs READ MORE →  UCLA student government condemned Hillel event featuring former hostage Omer Shem Tov Shem Tov was kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7 and held captive in Gaza for 505 days By Haley Cohen READ MORE →  London synagogue arsonist released on bail amid spate of attacks on Jewish community The judge said the 17-year-old assailant must not enter any synagogue; three Jewish institutions were targeted in arson attacks within a week By Haley Cohen READ MORE →  You’re receiving this email because mitch.dobbs.pics@blogger.com signed up for updates from Jewish Insider.   © 2026 Jewish Insider • 228 Park Ave S • PMB 40660 • New York • NY 10003 Manage Subscription Preferences   •   View in Browser
