Colorado’s primary shows how power protects itself. AIPAC knows it’s toxic in a blue district, so its money slips through EDW Action, Pro‑Choice Majority, and a maze of dark‑money committees — all to shield DeGette and bury Kiros’s message before voters hear it.
Kiros is being targeted because she’s naming the real forces shaping U.S. politics: militarized AI, corporate capture, and the human cost of U.S. support for Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon. Instead of debating her ideas, donors are spending millions to erase them.
Thanks for following the money trail. Dark money is destroying democracy and accountability, so painstaking investigative journalism is as critical as ever to shed light on the sources of that money and motivations for hiding it (e.g. the toxic reputation of AIPAC).
Anyone seeking to build a populist movement empowering the US working class would not appear on a platform with Hasan Piker, a corrupt, loudmouth pseudo radical whose contempt for the First Amendment, and complete ignorance of this history and populist principles that have motivated successful fights against the oligarchy in the past are completely unconcealed in his on line ravings. My personal view is that those ravings are mainly motivated by their ability to produce income.

This is just so corrupt. Shameful. No court is speaking out to protect the public and our democracy from such dishonorable practices.

Excellent report, Ryan! Talk about completely unethical outfits that claim to elect women (EDW and PCM) and in this Congressional race are:
a) opposing another woman (Kiros),
b) taking hundreds of thousands in money from pro-Israel groups that suppport the killing of women and children in Gaza and Lebanon, and
c) taking money from Big Tech bros.
Despite the millions to defeat Milat Kiros, she seems to be leading by 5% according to the latest polls: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/colorado-us-house-1-polls-2026.html
May she win the primary so the big money outfits know their money is no match for conscientious voters.
AI presents a catastrophic future for at least 90% of Americans and must be controlled.
Best democracy that money can buy. And they only have to pay two sides to get it
Another example of the evils spawned by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision.
Good luck tomorrow Melat Kiros + Julie Gonzalez 👏
