Trump is not changing his position out of principle... He is recognizing that criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza is no longer politically easy to dismiss, especially as more candidates and electeds openly challenge unconditional U.S. support for Israel.
President Trump on U.S. aid to Israel: "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point."

From Secretary Mullin to President Trump to RFK Jr., anti-Muslim rhetoric is coming from the highest levels of this administration. With the midterms just days away, targeting Muslims is not happening in a vacuum. It is an election strategy being used for political gain...
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claimed that modern Arab Muslims don’t produce science and literature as they once did or win prestigious prizes, sparking backlash. Experts in Arab studies blasted the remarks as steeped in ignorance. wapo.st/4ic3wWA

For months, we've warned that anti-Muslim hate is reaching unprecedented levels, surpassing even post-9/11 highs. It's encouraging to see major news outlets finally paying attention and covering the reality of what our community is facing.
President Trump called Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed a “jihadist” during a campaign rally in Michigan, urging his supporters to fight El-Sayed, who may be the first Muslim senator, in the same way Americans battled terrorists on 9/11. wapo.st/3W7G97P

Leaked documents reported by @DropSiteNews show a firm working for the UAE commissioned a report blacklisting American Muslim organizations. MPAC is on the list. A foreign government paid to map and discredit American Muslim civic life. Our response: to keep showing up!
⚡️ NEW from @DropSiteNews: How the UAE Financed a Plan to Smear American Muslims Leaked documents show how an Emirati defamation campaign extended into the United States, creating a blacklist that includes mainstream Muslim groups and dozens of American citizens.

MPAC spoke with @yasmineelsabawi at @MiddleEastEye on our newly launched report highlighting deep funding disparities in DHS safety grants for faith communities. All religious institutions facing threats deserve equal protection and support. Read the full piece below ⬇️

Following Abdul El-Sayed’s primary victory in Michigan, Republican members of Congress have responded with anti-Muslim rhetoric targeting American Muslims. We thank @SenBillCassidy for condemning this rhetoric & affirming that American Muslims are an integral part of our country.

Representative Andy Ogles, whose tenure was marked by vitriolic rhetoric and the formation of the Sharia Free America Caucus, was defeated in his primary.

Similarly, Representative Nancy Mace, an active proponent of bigoted conspiracies and xenophobic policy, announced her exit from public office following a significant primary loss in her gubernatorial bid.

Notice the empty seats? That’s what taking a stand looks like. @SenTedCruz MPAC commends the Senate Democrats who chose not to lend legitimacy to a hearing designed to target and demonize American Muslims. True leadership means refusing to participate in fear-mongering.

MPAC's @haristarin joined interfaith leaders & members of Congress on Capitol Hill to honor Congressman John Lewis' legacy. The SAVE Act isn't just a threat to voting rights; it's an affront to democracy. Honoring Rep. Lewis means making "good trouble" by defending voting rights!

MPAC strongly condemns the hateful stabbing of a Muslim man in West Valley City, Utah. We pray for the victim's full recovery and for justice to be served. According to investigators, the suspect allegedly told police he carried out the attack because of the victim's religion.

If this is how Israeli settlers and soldiers treat a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Palestinians endure every day when the cameras are off and the world isn’t watching. And American tax dollars and American-made weapons continue to enable it. #AmericaFirst? @RoKhanna
Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/po…

The First Amendment demands strict religious neutrality. Today, we commend this veto for upholding the constitutional promise of equal protection and rejecting fear-based legislation.

As Dahlia Taha, Founding Director of our First Amendment Center, notes, bills like this aren't about protecting religious freedom, they erode it by treating one faith community as uniquely suspect.

MPAC's First Amendment Center strongly condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling in Landor v. Louisiana.

By shielding individual guards behind a legal technicality, this 6–3 decision completely ignores the trauma inflicted on Damon Landor and strips incarcerated individuals of their basic humanity.

MPAC welcomes the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Barbara, striking down EO 14160 and reaffirming that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to every child born on U.S. soil. This protects a principle of belonging that has stood for 150+ years.

Had it taken effect, this order would have stripped citizenship from 250k+ babies yearly, deeply impacting mixed-status families, students, and green card holders. This legal fight attempted to weaponize rhetoric against immigrant and American Muslim communities.

That's why the Muslim Public Affairs Council launched our Times Square ad: to remind people like @RepNancyMace that our community has been part of this country's story since before its founding. This isn't about rewriting history; it's about telling the complete American story:
Name one way America has benefited from Muslim immigration...

The American story has always included Muslims. Today, we’re bringing that story to the heart of NYC. As part of our #WeThePeople campaign marking America’s 250th anniversary, MPAC is lighting up Times Square. This is our history. This is our 250, too. 🇺🇸 #America250

For today’s installment of "Did You Know?", MPAC’s series highlighting American Muslim history as the nation marks 250 years, we trace the deep, often unacknowledged roots of Muslim military service. This history is as old as the republic itself. 🧵 👇

The foundation of this service predates the 19th century, originating in the transatlantic slave trade. Historians estimate that between 15% and 30% of enslaved Africans brought to the United States were of Muslim heritage.

The admin is championing a U.S. National Team made up of immigrants, children of immigrants, and first-generation Americans with roots in Mexico, Ghana, Croatia, the Netherlands, and the U.K. The team tells one story about America. The policies tell another. #FifaWorldCup
