“This is almost like a proxy fight for 2028 in the presidential election" - @admcrlsn.bsky.social on the heated U.S. Senate race in Michigan between Abdul El-Sayed, Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens.

NEW: amid the Hasan Piker outrage cycle, both things can be true:
🗳️the Democratic party is looking to this Senate race for answers on who to be in 2028.
🗳️Michigan voters don't care about the party debate and just want to afford rent/healthcare.

Rogue DNC on X: "Drop Site News obtained a private donor call where the McMorrow campaign discussed her strong pro-Israel stance. Volunteer Rob Kalman praised her “outstanding” AIPAC position paper, which he said has not been made public. https://t.co/FBi7Tssut8" / X Drop Site News obtained a private donor call where the McMorrow campaign discussed her strong pro-Israel stance. Volunteer Rob Kalman praised her “outstanding” AIPAC position paper, which he said has not been made public. https://t.co/FBi7Tssut8

The endorsement arrives as leaked audio about her “outstanding” AIPAC position paper makes the rounds again (reported by DropSite News in November 2025).

McMorrow has publicly rejected AIPAC support. AIPAC has in turn attacked her and backs her opponent Rep. Hayley Stevens.

How Does TrackAIPAC Actually Track AIPAC? The social media warriors have helped make AIPAC a politically toxic brand — and fueled debate over what it means to be "pro-Israel."

NEW: We untangled how @trackaipac.com tracks AIPAC. If you’ve ever wondered why one candidate/member of Congress is doomed to a red graphic while another is spared; or how a candidate can have a 🟥 graphic despite taking $0 from AIPAC, this story is for you.
theintercept.com/2026/03/26/t...

Thanks for sharing!

There’s a lot to criticize/question here but can confirm that Biss’ Jewish identity or anyone’s identity/faith is NOT a part of TrackAIPAC’s methodology. Also wouldn’t consider a city’s mayor and candidate for Congress who is now favored to win in the general a “random” person. Stay tuned for more!

New story coming soon on @trackaipac.com and how they actually track AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby amid all the backlash/confusion surrounding their red graphic cards for Daniel Biss and Mallory McMorrow, neither of whom have taken AIPAC money.

Israel’s Deadly Blockade Traps 7 U.S. Doctors in Gaza While waging war on Iran, Israel is blocking medical trips into and out of Gaza, putting vulnerable patients at risk.

SCOOP: I spoke with a U.S. doctor who is currently stuck in Gaza. The Israeli govt. is again blocking medical workers from entering or leaving Gaza, the latest restriction placed on the Palestinian territories since Israel-U.S. launched its war on Iran.

While Talarico calls for partially defunding ICE (not abolition) in favor of services (like healthcare) he also supports boosts to border funds, such as The Dignity Act, which increases militarization and surveillance at ports of entry. w/ @akelalacy.bsky.social

Will James Talarico Really Fight for Justice in Texas? The race between Talarico and Rep. Jasmine Crockett emphasized style over substance. Now local organizers want concrete promises.

NEW: Progressives are already pushing Talarico on Israel & Gaza, ICE. Organizers saw little daylight between he & Crockett on those policies but saw more room to move him than they did her. Also heard he’s being advised on improving on Gaza. W/ @jonahmv.bsky.social theintercept.com/2026/03/04/j...

Hard to know what to say on mornings like these. Just deeply ashamed of this country and the violence we inflict on the world.

“The weaponization of antisemitism — the manipulative or bad faith invocation of accusations to silence legitimate criticism, scholarship, or activism — creates significant adverse consequences for Jews and non-Jews who oppose the state of Israel’s actions and support Palestinian rights.”

American Psychological Association Rewrites Antisemitism Guidelines to Protect Speech on Palestine The weaponization of antisemitism…creates significant adverse consequences for Jews and non-Jews," the APA wrote.

The APA changed its guidelines to note that criticism of the state of Israel does not equal antisemitism.

Pro-Palestine International Students Have Won in Court. Why Hasn’t Mahmoud Khalil Won His Freedom? One of Trump’s tricks is to send people to Louisiana where they get harsher treatment. Mahmoud Khalil is pointing out the iniquity of it.

For those unfamiliar w/ Stew Peters, he's in my profile of the Anti-Zionist America PAC, which he promotes. Peters often uses Israel's genocide to rail against Jewish people, using antisemitic slurs and spreading conspiracies of a "satanic" agenda of global control.

For context: the new filing from Khalil highlights two new pieces of evidence, 1.) a March 2025 DHS memo unsealed last month in a lawsuit, and 2.) the AAUP ruling where a judge said Trump violated pro-Palestine protesters’ free speech rights. We’ve covered both @theintercept.com

Statement from a relative of Nasrallah Abu Siyam, 19 year old Palestinian American killed this week by Israeli settlers in the West Bank village of Mukhams. (The relative wished to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation) @theintercept.com

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com

It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.

A New PAC Wants to Counter Israel’s Influence. It Also Welcomes Hitler Apologists. AZAPAC's Michael Rectenwald wants to fight pro-Israel interests in politics. He's courted Nick Fuentes and endorsed white nationalists.

Read my full deep dive into AZAPAC and its founder, Michael Rectenwald here @theintercept.com

The pro-Israel establishment often falsely attacks criticism of Israel or advocacy for Palestine as "antisemitic."

But this story grapples with what happens when anti-Zionism blends with actual antisemitism and the harm it causes movements for Palestine. @benlorber8.bsky.social said it best:

After @theintercept.com approached candidates endorsed by AZAPAC with questions, two candidates — progressive Green Party members Anthony Aguilar, a GHF whistleblower and Greg Stoker, who took part in the Gaza Sumud Flotilla — rescinded their support, and were scrubbed from the website.

Among AZAPAC's endorsements is Tyler Dykes, who was convicted for taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the 2017 white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville; and Casey Putsch, a Hitler apologist, Christian nationalist candidate for Ohio Gov. @theintercept.com

AZAPAC has courted the likes of far-right influencer Nick Fuentes and the groypers. Its founder Michael Rectenwald is a regular on the Stew Peters Show where they've discussed conspiracy theories of Jewish global control, or "the Jewish mafia" with a "Talmudic agenda." @theintercept.com
