AIPAC knows they are toxic to voters, so they're hiding their spending again.
Abdul El-Sayed already beat $30 million+ in AIPAC spending once - we have five days to make sure he does it again.

NEW: AIPAC reportedly began funding a pro-Rogers super PAC after the pre-election disclosure cutoff. Since then, the group has spent $12.7 million against Abdul El-Sayed. #MISen

Fox News' poll found 54% of Michigan voters including over 60% of Independents want to end or reduce our funding of Israel's military.
In our polling conducted by YouGov out last week, a majority of voters in every swing state supported blocking bombs to Israel - including 55% of Georgia voters, 56% of Iowa voters, 65% of Maine voters, 51% of North Carolina voters, 57% of Ohio voters, and 54% of Texas voters.
63% of Republicans under 45 are against providing weapons to Israel, according to a May 2026 New York Times poll.
Trump and Israel’s aggression has tanked the global economy, shredded our credibility, and cost every US family thousands of dollars.
It’s no surprise that Americans across the political spectrum are sick and tired of it. Presidential candidates in 2028 - in both parties - should take notice.
New: The GOP is divided over what “America First” means for the US-Israel relationship, and the debate could become a 2028 fault line.
A deeper look at the factions, from staunchly pro-Israel Republicans to the Tucker wing to those in between:

Michigan, Election Day is just one week away.
Mike Rogers wants your tax dollars to fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza and endless war in the Middle East. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed wants to invest in making healthcare and housing affordable and fixing our roads and schools.

Abdul El-Sayed: “I want to ban unconditional foreign military aid. I want to ban it to Israel, I want to ban it to Egypt where my family emigrated from, to Jordan, to Pakistan, to Saudi Arabia, to Qatar, to all of them. I don’t pay my tax dollars and you don’t pay your taxes so another country gets a bomb or a tank. We pay our taxes so our kids get good schools. Right now they’re getting bombs and tanks and our kids are not getting good schools”

Israeli settlers & forces are driving even more Palestinians from their homes on the West Bank.
The U.S. must end its complicity in the injustice of the occupation and demand accountability for the 9 Americans killed.
Enough is enough.

What nerve Jon Finer has to write this after being in the Biden admin, expediting billions in weapons for genocide, vetoing ceasefire resolutions & lying to Congress about Israel's starvation of Palestinians. No candidate who wants to win in 2028 should be taking advice from him.
The endless weapons giveaways to Israel will be a liability this November - and in 2028. Politicians who prioritize winning over catering to the fringe demands from AIPAC should take note.
Not only has ending weapons to Israel has become the near-consensus view of Democratic voters, but we’re now seeing that voters across the spectrum, including most Independents and a substantial number of Republicans, are tired of seeing their government use our tax dollars to supply Israel with bombs when millions struggle to afford the basics here at home.

At least 33 Americans—including Rabbi Jill Jacobs and congressional candidate Brad Lander—were detained by Israeli forces today while helping Palestinian farmers harvest olives. All those detained for peacefully participating in this harvest must be released immediately.
Palestinians shouldn’t have to risk their lives to harvest their own land. Settler violence terrorizes families and drives Palestinians from their homes and livelihoods, attacks that are enabled by a culture of impunity that treats Palestinian lives as expendable.
The U.S. must protect Palestinian lives by demanding an end to settler violence and the enforcement of real consequences for those carrying out and enabling these attacks.
Mike Rogers would be another vote to continue Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous wars. Abdul El-Sayed agrees with the majority of Americans that our tax dollars should fix our schools and roads, not fund Israel’s wars.
Michigan, early voting starts this Saturday, October 24th.

Farming olives is not a crime under international law, but occupation and settler violence are. Israeli settlers have carried out at least 160 attacks against Palestinians during the current olive harvest in the West Bank.
The recent detention of 80 harvest volunteers by the IDF is inexcusable. Our government must work to ensure the immediate release of all the detainees and demand an end to rising settler violence that is being facilitated with Americans' dollars.

I’m glad @bradlander was released from IDF custody, and I call for the rest of his delegation to be released immediately. This is just a glimpse of the horrific reality Palestinians face in their homeland every day, terrorized by Israeli soldiers and settlers and unable to live freely.
And it’s why I continue to demand that the Israeli government release all arbitrarily detained Palestinian prisoners, and for the U.S. government to stop enabling occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people.
I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).
But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention. For harvesting olives. They should all be released immediately.
To be clear: Palestinians face far worse consequences every day. These detentions by the IDF are one more attempt to undermine Palestinians’ right to harvest their olive groves, travel on their roads, and live in their homes. Yet one more element of escalating, and very clearly state-sponsored ethnic cleansing.
We’ll update on their status as soon as we hear.

Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, paid for by American taxpayers.
As Israeli airstrikes continue to kill children and families in Gaza, half a million Palestinians are set to lose access to food and assistance.
Whether by bombs or through starvation, the genocide has not ended. We must end it. We can start by passing my Block the Bombs Act.
🚨 BREAKING: Half a million Palestinians in Gaza will lose monthly food assistance as funding shortages force major World Food Programme cuts ahead of winter, ABC News Australia reports.
➤ WFP is reducing its monthly reach from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million. Families receiving two food parcels will now get one, and flour bags will shrink.
➤ Daily hot meals have fallen from 250,000 to 150,000. Some families in hard-to-reach areas will receive meals every other day instead of daily. Cash assistance for 75,000 families is being cut by 40%.
➤ WFP’s Carl Skau said traditional donors, including the U.S. and Europe, have reduced funding. “It’s not because the needs are down … it’s only due to the lack of funding,” Skau told ABC.
➤ Around 1.4 million people face crisis-level hunger or worse, including 200,000 in emergency conditions. WFP says it urgently needs $450 million for six months of operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
Ending US complicity in Israel's brutality, aggression, and genocide isn't a "blue state" or "red state" issue - and the Israeli government knows it.
Our polling out today conducted by YouGov found that 59% of all Iowa voters - including 73% of Democrats and 46% of Republicans - support cutting $3.3 billion in annual taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel.
The state of Israel (not AIPAC) is running ads and videos in Iowa, as the midterms near.
The ads/videos feature footage from Trump's America 250 festivities, a clip of a Trump White House flyover, and video of Mike Huckabee, who won Iowa years ago. zeteo.com/p/why-is-israel-ru…
NEW POLLS: A majority of likely voters in six states expected to decide control of the US Senate - Georgia, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas - support Senate measures to block the transfer of bombs to Israel.
Our new polling, conducted by @YouGov, was first announced on today's episode of Pod Save The World with @TVietor08 and @brhodes and sampled over 3,200 voters from September 25 to October 14.
State-by-state results below 🔽
Polling throughout 2026 has found similar results in Michigan:
- 55% of all likely voters say they oppose continued military assistance to Israel (Fox News poll, August 2026)
- 54% of all likely voters say they believe the US is doing too much to support Israel (CNN poll, September 2026)
- 53% of all likely voters say they support resolutions in the Senate to block the delivery of bombs to Israel (IMEU Policy Project/Data for Progress poll, April 2026)
Endless weapons giveaways to Israel will be a liability this November - and in 2028. Politicians who prioritize winning over catering to the fringe demands from AIPAC should take note.
