700+ Rabbis Demand Mamdani Apology for AIPAC ‘Monsters’ Slur

Today's lead: More than 700 rabbis have signed an open letter demanding that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani apologize for calling AIPAC “monsters” — warning his rhetoric makes American Jews less safe. The organized Jewish response is the story today, not just the original remark.

Also tracking: the House Education and Workforce Committee advancing three campus antisemitism bills — a concrete legislative win — and Sen. Van Hollen's endorsement of anti-Israel Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, the clearest sign yet the Mamdani movement is going national.

In the wire: A DSA-aligned Brooklyn Democratic leader is caught promoting Henry Ford's antisemitic manifesto; seven arrests in the Belgian synagogue bombing; and the Senate's hostile S.Res. 797 targets Israel's human rights record under the Foreign Assistance Act.
