The reason people focus on AIPAC is because it currently holds the record for most campaign donations in congressional campaigns in a single election cycle from any organization in US history - a record it will break this year.

Asked by @lisakashinsky about the shift of opinions on AIPAC among Democrats and whether he personally would reject money from the group, @CoryBooker says “First and foremost, there is a singling out of AIPAC that is troubling to me.” Says there are Iranian Americans and Turkish Americans who bundle money, adding “There are a lot of ethnic groups that bundle money, and often for things that I don't agree with. But somehow, AIPAC seems to be drawing a lot of attention, and that's problematic to me,” he says. Goes on to say that he doesn’t think anybody should be accepting PAC money from anyone.

@CarolineVakil @lisakashinsky @CoryBooker I wonder why Cory is mad at people for “singling out AIPAC” 🤔

The Congressional Black Caucus’s silent partnership with AIPAC

@Noregrets2024 @MikeNellis Conservatives don’t want Diet Fox News. There is no audience for what Bari is trying to produce
English
@MikeNellis Nah. It’s a business. First you analyze the profitability of the various divisions, then cut out the weakest parts. Why not appeal to half the country?
English
The layoffs at CBS are devastating, especially in the radio division. You hate to see it, and it just feels like Bari Weiss is stripping the thing for parts so she can turn it into a Fox News competitor.

@CoreyWriting Saikat has lost the coveted ‘Neoconservative Zionist who writes for a neoconservative Zionist publication’ vote 😨😨

It's a hard pass from me. Any Pro-Palestine PAC is inevitably going to endorse Hamas.
Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress@saikatc
I am honored to earn PAL PAC's endorsement, and am committed to ending U.S. imperialism and our forever wars.

That a very simplistic way of looking at it - Title 42 was dismissed by SCOTUS. When Biden wanted to do a portion of border wall leftists freaked the fuck out. We had Carvans upon Carvans which was done for show. Deportations were paused for first 100 days but even that was reversed. We also had a lack of asylum judges that congress refused to fund so it left a major backlog. These are all GOP talking point which is odd coming from you. Obamas policy was different because times were different. Trumps policy was so inhumane under 1.0 that Biden tried to overly course correct but blaming that on activist groups is lazy, there was a whole lot happening.
English
Would love to know what activist groups he specifically referring to? And who said border policy was racist other the ‘identity politics’ police aka leftists. Most Democrats want humane border policy.
Did he like Obama’s policy since he stays talking about Biden’s policy?
The Bench@ElectTheBench
James Talarico on listening to real Texans about border policy, not the groups in DC who say they represent them.

@demsocsean I’m surprised he hasn’t yet pulled a Manchin/Sinema and become an independent
English
Yeah, I’ve brought this up to others but Fetterman is significantly more unpopular with Dems in PA than Sinema ever was in AZ. He’s just significantly more popular with Republicans than Sinema ever was and that’s holding up his overall approval rating.
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

@nick_field90 Was there ever any doubt? He’s on their network more often than actual GOP politicians

CNN finally realizing Fetterman's gonna go with Fox News for his post-Senate pundit deal

@bogosbinched @TNOQuoProQuid Am I wrong? He was the most legislatively successful president in modern history
English
i would be far more willing to have fun with these kinds of memes if they were not always used as a vehicle by lbj boosters who have felt threatened by a dead man for 63 years
Out Of Context Liberalism@OOCliberalism
English
@bogosbinched @TNOQuoProQuid We want a president who can actually do shit, and LBJ had that in spades
English
@TNOQuoProQuid LBJ boosters as a whole are just really weird breed –– they're like an odd, bizarre mix of Nixon apologists and Camelot appraisers.
They want a feel good president who says slurs, but is also Woke In A Cool Way™

@roaminglive @NickyFrank30 He just wants to hysterically rave about Muslims
English
@NickyFrank30 do you want to impeach the mayors wife?
do you want him to divorce her?
tell us, what unhinged thing do you want the mayor to do because his wife said bad shit online at 15 years old, 6 years before they even met?
tell us, Nicole !

Ok I won’t support Melania’s husband either.
What is your point here?
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
Let me say this slowly: Rama said this when she was 15. Melania, on the other hand, engaged in racist birther conspiracy theories against our first Black president as an adult woman.

@Chase_Observes @Saulcialist @nazzobetweeting I asked for an example of leftist-driven cancel culture and you start freaking out when faced with the slightest amount of pushback. Not a good look!
English
@Shadowcoder203 @Saulcialist @nazzobetweeting Google is free you fucking retard look it up yourself. Literally go to google dotcom and look up "cancel culture in the past decade" and you'll find it all. This isn't a "gotcha" you're not as smart as you think you are, I don't owe you a work cited page
English
i’m of the belief that what rama posted when she was 15 during the early days of social media don’t really matter and weren’t malicious and it seems most leftists agree which me which shows me that they were capable of understanding context and intent all along, just chose not to apply it when engaging in idiotic applications of cancel culture the last 5 years that did irreparable damage in shifting the general population’s public opinion away from us! hmm!

@Chase_Observes @Saulcialist @nazzobetweeting If you can’t provide 1 example then maybe your argument isn’t as strong as you think k

@Rightsof_Man @trouble_man90 Famously unsuccessful Barry Goldwater?
English
@trouble_man90 I supported him in 2016 (and voted for Hillary).
I was genuinely excited for some New Deal Liberalism, but he tanked it and turned into piece of shit over the past decade.
Sanders let in the crazies just like Goldwater did with the Far Right.
English
@Chase_Observes @Saulcialist @nazzobetweeting Would you like to provide some specific examples then?
English
@Saulcialist @Shadowcoder203 @nazzobetweeting He's doing the thing where he pretends not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.

… and no one was supposed to get upset when @gigibsohn helped mastermind net neutrality at the @FCC without the slightest concern for ISPs first amendment rights that then judge Brett Kavanaugh identified in a dissent that has effectively become the law of the land? The catastrophe queens think no one knows how to use Google to look up their time in office. This whole concept that @BrendanCarrFCC is a policy outlier is false. Every @FCC does things that irk the other side. Nothing new here.

"Nothing here is normal," says ex FCC senior staffer Gigi Sohn. "This is the prime example of the fix being in... In 35 years of doing this - I've never seen anything that even vaguely approaches what has gone on today." 8 U.S. state AGs & DirectTV are suing to block the deal.
