“We hope this is a wake-up call not only for the APA but for the hundreds of doctoral programs, internships and postdoctoral programs it accredits.”
Thank you @J_Insider @marcrod97 for covering this important development and the powerful testimony from Jewish students, professionals and organizations that helped bring attention to antisemitism in psychology education. jewishinsider.com/2026/09/fe…

If Dems take the majority next year, when it comes to Israel policy, expect a focus on West Bank settlements and settler violence as a point of consensus for many in the party.
ANALYSIS | If Democrats take control of Congress next year — or even if they win back a majority in only the House of Representatives — expect a legislative agenda that’s a lot tougher on Israel than it has been in a long time.

Stay tuned for more from me on what the Dems' agenda on Israel might look like next year if they flip the House and/or Senate.
Responding to JI's @marcrod97, Hakeem Jeffries suggested the West Bank Violence Prevention Act — which seeks to curb settler violence by imposing sanctions on perpetrators and potentially Israeli officials — could be up for a vote next year should Democrats take back the House.
