In blow to AIPAC, Democrat who accused Israel of genocide wins NJ election Analilia Mejía - the Former National Political Director for Bernie Sanders - Defeated Joe Hathaway to Narrow the Republicans' House Majority

”I stand by the fact that I’ve called Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal. I believe that criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration is not anti-Israel any more than criticism of Donald Trump is anti-American.” – Analilia Mejía

AIPAC-backed Jared Moskowitz is radically out of step with FL23, where 2/3 of Democratic voters want the U.S. to condition, reduce, or cease military aid to Israel.

'Tyrants.' Pope blasts 'those who manipulate religion' as Trump feud escalates Pope Leo, on tour in Africa, delivered a speech that could escalate his feud with Trump. It comes a day after the president shared a fresh AI Jesus image.

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth,” Pope Leo said of Trump and Hegseth.

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.

The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

“The tactic of mass destruction of homes in Gaza, where Israel has been accused of committing genocide, was described as domicide by academics, a strategy that is used to systematically destroy and damage civilian housing to render entire areas uninhabitable.”

Pentagon Threatened the Pope After He Criticized Trump It was so bad that Pope Leo changed his plans to travel to the U.S.

Did Trump’s Department of War threaten to kidnap Pope Leo XIV? “many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.”

Article excerpt from the Chicago Sun Times, reading: 

HEADLINE: After primary loss, Kat Abughazaleh moves to boost campaigns across Midwest
SUBHEAD: Abughazaleh said Thursday that she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," across the country, "especially in the Midwest." 

STORY: By Tina Sfondeles | Apr 2, 2026, 4:36pm CDT

"Fresh off a second-place finish, progressive content creator and former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh is scaling up her political network to help purple and progressive candidates in the Midwest - all while keeping her Rogers Park campaign office open as a mutual aid hub and community space."

Article excerpt from the Chicago Sun Times, reading: HEADLINE: After primary loss, Kat Abughazaleh moves to boost campaigns across Midwest SUBHEAD: Abughazaleh said Thursday that she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," across the country, "especially in the Midwest." STORY: By Tina Sfondeles | Apr 2, 2026, 4:36pm CDT "Fresh off a second-place finish, progressive content creator and former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh is scaling up her political network to help purple and progressive candidates in the Midwest - all while keeping her Rogers Park campaign office open as a mutual aid hub and community space."

Chicago Sun Times quote: 

Abughazaleh announced she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," and she plans to help races across the country, "especially in the Midwest." Abughazaleh said she is working with partners to fund the project and plans to expand it to help other candidates.
"But Kat, you lost your race. How could you even say that this model could win races?' Well I'm so glad you asked. We came in a very close second in a field of 15, beating out AIPAC and multiple established local politicians, and we did it with zero outside money," Abughazaleh said. "We brought in more first-time Gen Z donors than the DSCC [Democratic Senate Campaign Committee] the DCC [Democratic Congressional Committee], [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer, [House Minority Leader Hakeem] Jeffries and my next two primary opponents combined."
Abughazaleh raised an astonishing $3.3 million in an anti-establishment primary race, which included avoiding newspaper and Democratic Party endorsements and using livestream events to solicit small-donor donations instead of begging big-time donors for cash. She also used that time to tell voters about her platform, which included universal health care, protections against price-gouging, more housing with federal incentives, climate action
— and removing lead pipes.
Abughazaleh said the campaign's framework for mutual aid - opening up her Rogers Park campaign office as a place for people to come for food, clothing and essential needs like baby formula — "was the No. 1 persuader to undecided voters."

Chicago Sun Times article excerpt reads: 

Part of her post-election plans also include increasing free community-focused events at the Rogers Park campaign office at 7016 N. Clark St.
"By a long shot, people feel helpless and alone in the face of fascism, and the system is meant to make you feel that way. Authoritarians want you to feel paralyzed. They want you to keep doom scrolling. And instead, we came with a different offer," Abughazaleh said. "What if you join us for a park cleanup? What if you help us knit hats for people during a cold snap? What if you help us organize diapers for parents that need them?"

Photos from campaign events showcased, from knitting mutual aid items to organizing with the Sunrise Movement to park cleanup days.

Defeatism? We don’t know her.

Our community support-based campaign model demonstrates a new model for politics and engaged a record number of young voters.

Now we’re not just going to keep doing that work. We’re helping campaigns across the country do the same.
