Israeli drone chased and struck a man on a scooter with his 12 year old daughter, killing the father. The little girl ran, wounded, ran and was hunted by the drone and struck again. She has succumbed to her wounds.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

The genocidal government of Israel is obsessed with killing medics, and humanitarian workers. No one is safe from this unhinged murderous regime.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.

Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.

It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

A member of an offshoot of the Jewish Defense League — designated by the FBI as a "known violent extremist organization" — was allegedly building explosive devices to target the home of Nerdeen Kiswani in a chilling act of political violence. The defendant reportedly planned to flee to Israel following the attack.

This comes amid an alarming rise in threats and violence across the country targeting Palestinian human rights advocates.

I am thankful that the NYPD and FBI thwarted this plot, which could have endangered Nerdeen’s life and those of other New Yorkers.

Let me be clear: We will not tolerate violent extremism in our city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or their advocacy. I am relieved that Nerdeen is safe.

Our city must meet hate with solidarity, and meet fear with an unshakable commitment to justice and to one another.

NEW: More potential Dem 2028ers are distancing themselves from AIPAC.

Booker won’t take AIPAC cash anymore (part of a pledge to cut out PAC $$). Shapiro, Beshear, Emanuel also say no. And there’s more.

AIPAC says it won’t let pro-Israel voices be silenced.

[Matthew Eadie @mattheweadie22]

What Sacks leaves out here is that AIPAC’s super PACs were not disclosed the same way AI and crypto PACs already were

Both Think Big and Fairshake disclosed donors in January. AIPAC’s dark money PACs did not, meaning they remained hidden until after E-day

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

Well, that leaves out an important fact: the AIPAC groups spent 8 figures. The total was $22 million.

Two more groups spent 7 figures. One was AI-tied Think Big at $2.5 million. The other was crypto-tied Fairshake at $3.3 million.

Even combined, the totals aren't close. (3/9)

[Ross Barkan @RossBarkan]

Imagine how badly Israel must be losing in US politics that *Cory Booker* is turning down AIPAC cash.

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

Michael Sacks wrote this @chicagotribune op-ed to defend his support of AIPAC super PACs in Chicago Congressional primaries.

I asked Sacks, a billionaire & Democratic megadonor, for comment before I reported his contributions Monday. Got no reply. (1/9)

[Democrats for the Illinois House @DemsforILHouse]

Rep. @rashidforil introduced the Illinois Epstein Files Investigation Act to make sure those connected to the crimes of Jeffery Epstein subject to Illinois law are held accountable. When Washington Republicans let us down, Illinois House Dems step up.

Get ready to see this headline a lot more. It’s the beginning of a new era in American politics.

[AIPAC Tracker @TrackAIPAC]

⚠️ UPDATE: #IL08 candidate Melissa Bean (@Melissabeanil08) has now benefitted from >$2.4 million in spending by AIPAC and the Israel lobby.

It's time to rally for @JunaidForUs for #IL08!

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

The Israeli terrorist forces shot a child in the head in Beit Lahia.
Their killing and harming of children never stopped.
Shame on the world.

NEW POLL:

Our poll with @genzforchange and @YouGov surveyed 1,200 likely Democratic primary voters.

72% say Israel is committing genocide
75% want to end annual weapons funding to Israel

And a supermajority support the same sanctions enacted against apartheid South Africa. ➡️

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

"Mamdani leads among Jewish voters"

Read that sentence. Read it again. Read it one more time.

And then ask yourself about the horrifically bad media coverage you've been getting on this guy and on this race from the legacy media in recent weeks.

The #WPPh2025 Photo of the Year is ‘Mahmoud Ajjour, Aged Nine’ by @samarabuelouf, for @nytimes. The jury was moved by this portrait of a Palestinian boy which speaks to the devastating long-term costs of war on civilians. Read more: https://t.co/KHmkUjt2Rj

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Recent polls show that only 15% of Americans support increasing military aid to Netanyahu.

Yet, Congress just rubber stamped Trump's plan to send $8.8 billion more.

Republicans and Democrats took a constitutional oath to represent the American people, not AIPAC.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

My statement standing with the Syrian people:

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.
