There is now set to be at least nine democratic socialists in Congress. Donovan McKinney – alongside Melat Kiros, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Chris Rabb – will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

This is the key takeaway: Haley Stevens got everything she could have asked for. AIPAC spent the most it ever has. The party pulled out all the stops. Millions were even spent to spread the false idea that the most popular president in modern US history endorsed her. And it still wasn’t enough.

Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.

Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?

Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

GOP Senator Says GOP Congressman Who Allegedly Abused His Daughter Is Unfit for Office. What Took Him So Long? Read today's 'First Drafty' by @martinpengelly.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/gop-senato...

per this source: the blue ash ICE office said that for some of these Haitian clients, who got ankle monitors on today, the feds were placing them on a 75-mile restriction, but….. the court they’d need to go to is more than 75 miles from Springfield, Ohio.

an immigration lawyer working on some of these Haitian cases today says an ICE officer told them, re: the ankle monitors: “We’re following our orders.” Direct quote Hm

Wow. In the 18 toss-up House districts: "92% of Black voters and 75% of Hispanic voters were less likely to back a candidate who strongly supports Israel and continuing U.S. military aid. 61% of moderates were less likely to support a pro-Israel candidate, compared to just 33% who were more likely."

NEW poll in 18 toss-up districts (with a sample that voted Trump 48-45) shows independents & moderates are *not* looking for the archetypical Moderate candidate — and are not dissuaded if outsiders are labeled too far left. Strong support for Israel was the *least* appealing quality in a candidate.

Ms. Rachel expresses support for Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush, Justin Pearson, Jarrett Keohokalole, Peggy Flanagan, Becca Balint, William Lawrence, Elijah Manley, Troy Jackson, Donavan McKinney, Oliver Larkin, and Angie Nixon. "These are some folks I believe care about all kids."

After voting to cut military aid to Israel, #2 House Democrat Katherine Clark says she still won't support the Block the Bombs Act, which would stop the sale or transfer of some arms to Israel. She also avoids a question on her walking back calling Israel's genocide a genocide.
