There is a tight race in New Jerseyâs 8th District, a highly populated district just across Manhattan.
As is often the case with establishment politicians, they are usually backed by big PAC money, and Menendez is no exception.
Menendezâs record is highly pro-Israel and he has been paid handsomely by the Pro-Israel lobby for that.
We need someone who wants to keep U.S. tax dollars in the U.S. and not on wars of expansion.
@mussabalijc is taking on the Menendez family dynasty with a grassroots campaign and doesnât take Pro-Israel money.
Former Rep. @coribush is running for Congress again. Her effort to reclaim her seat should be viewed as a justice movement having lost her seat due to an unprecedented wave of outside spending.
Pro-Israel groups, led by AIPAC and allied super PACs poured roughly $18 million into her primary in what can only be described as an affront to democracy. Their only goal was to replace her with a pro-Israel candidate and to silence one of the loudest voices in congress for Palestinian human rights.
Cori Bush also refused to accept PAC money which left her vulnerable against her opponent. Bush says the effort to push her out only strengthened her resolve, and argues that her campaign is about reclaiming representation from big money interests and returning power to grassroots voters.
We urge Missouri to reject AIPAC candidates and return power to this warrior.
BREAKING: Supreme Court Blocks Virginiaâs New Congressional Map. Another major blow to representative democracy as courts halt a voter-backed map while GOP-led gerrymandering expands nationwide.
Rep. Rob Menendez voted for H.R. 23, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, a 2025 bill aimed at punishing people who assist the International Criminal Court in cases against U.S. officials or allied officials, including Israeli leaders.
The bill came in response to ICC seeking arrest warrants for the genocide in Gaza.
His opponent @mussabalijc in NJ-8 has called for an end to Israeli armament.
Drake appeared to call out DJ Khaled in a new song over his silence on Palestine.
In the lyrics, Drake raps: âYour people are still waiting for a âFree Palestine,â but apparently everything isnât black and white and red and green.â
Fans believe the line is aimed at Khaled, who is Palestinian and has faced criticism for not speaking more publicly about Gaza.
Drake had a feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar, and apparently his new feud could be with DJ Khaled.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday he instructed his legal advisers to consider âthe harshest legal actionâ against The New York Times and columnist Nicholas Kristof over a recent report about sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees by Israeli soldiers.
Netanyahu accused the newspaper of âdefaming the soldiers of Israelâ and spreading a âblood libel about rape,â saying that Israel âwill not be silentâ and would fight the claims âin the court of public opinion and in the court of law.â
Abigail Spanberger is expected to veto a bill that would expand collective bargaining rights for public employees in Virginia.
The legislation would have allowed more government workers to negotiate over wages, benefits, and working conditions through unions.
Republicans were thankful while most Democrats supported this bill.
Rep. Gottheimer slammed the New York Times after columnist Nicholas Kristof cited allegations that Israeli authorities trained dogs to sexually abuse Palestinian prisoners.
Gottheimer called the claims âHamas-affiliated propagandaâ and accused the Times of ignoring documented sexual violence committed during the October 7 Hamas attack.
In a post on social media, he wrote: âWTF @nytimes ⌠Itâs almost as if the NYT is on Hamasâ payroll.â
Tulsi Gabbardâs office denied viral claims that the CIA âraidedâ her office to seize JFK or MK-Ultra documents.
The rumors spread online after comments from allies of Anna Paulina Luna.
A spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence called the reports âfalseâ and said no raid took place.
Luna later clarified she was not claiming there had been an actual raid.
MK-Ultra was a secret CIA program from the 1950s to the early 1970s that experimented with mind control, interrogation techniques, and behavior modification often without the knowledge or consent of the participants.
