This is very important reporting, Ryan and Julian. Thank you. My eyes zoomed in when I read about Daniel Biss because he famously met with AIPAC at least 2 times before they backed Laura Fine, likely due to her not wanting to condition weapons aid to Israel unlike Biss. The kicker, though, is that they (via ECW) *stopped* spending against Biss 1 week before the election when they noticed that Fine was cemented in 3rd and Kat Abugazaleh (Palestinian-American) was gaining pace rapidly on Biss. To avoid another Mejia, they (via CPP) started spending a hefty $1m also 1 week before the election against Kat and weirdly $100k in support of a low-polling pro-Palestine leftist Bushra Amiwala to siphon votes from Kat. Bushra came out & condemned them for it. It seems as if AIPAC hedged their bets via 314 Action and it paid off because Biss won by 3 points.
There are parallels to Mallory McMorrow in Michigan who brands herself as no AIPAC money but submitted a position paper to them (which she won’t release), likely so they won’t spend against her. Not getting AIPAC money directly *but also* not getting spent against by AIPAC seems to be the new faux progressive Dem strategy

I agree, this is extremely important bit of information. And thank you for that.
The level of misinformation and lies floating around is astounding.
