At @insidephilanthr, our coverage of Soros family giving hasn't gone beyond their 501c3 donations. With our new sister site, @insidepolmoney, we'll also be covering Soros political giving, which will top $100M this election. IPM's @Gabe_Stutman reports. buff.ly/2TusMZD

Here's more on the wealthy tech-and-business-sector donors funding American Priorities. The super PAC support progressives: like Darializa/Claire Valdez/Nida Allam. But some of its donors have given to Republicans incl. Tom Massie insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/american-…

Anti-Israel super PAC American Priorities started spending against Haley Stevens/for El-Sayed in Michigan as of last week. (A drop in the bucket compared to pro-Stevens outside spending)

Can "MAGA Mike Collins" draw enough super PAC money to compete against Georgia's Jon Ossoff, who reports $42 million in cash? It depends whether Republican donors see a path to victory. Story in @InsidePolMoney insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/a-damaged…

Pennsylvania's Bob Brooks has united moderates and progressives to flip a seat. Is he the future of the Democratic Party? Or another controversy-prone first-time candidate? Story in @InsidePolMoney insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/the-unlik…

As American progressives become increasingly hostile to Israel and Zionism, is it still possible to be both progressive and "pro-Israel"? J Street is trying, and has ramped up its PAC and super PAC spending. In @InsidePolMoney. insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/j-street-…

Asked about the new deep-pocketed anti-Zionist super PAC American Priorities, which also opposes AIPAC, deGroot said: "They’re doing their thing; we’re doing our thing. It’s going to take a broad coalition to counter the corrosive force that AIPAC has on our politics."

"J Street represents the core of the American Jewish community," Tali deGroot, J Street’s vice president of political and digital strategy, said. “American Jews feel a connection to Israel and are totally opposed to the Netanyahu government and its behavior."

NEW: I did a deep dive with J Street's political director. We discussed the liberal pro-Israel org's endorsement strategy, the growth of its political spending operation, competition with AIPAC and what it means to be "pro-Israel." In @InsidePolMoney insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/j-street-…

My colleague @Gabe_Stutman at @InsidePolMoney explores how George and @AlexanderSoros prioritize super PACs linked to Democratic Party leadership. insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/the-democ…

A new super PAC is spending millions to boost progressive critics of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Some of its donors have given to Republicans like Tom Massie, too. Who are its uber-wealthy donors? Here's a look at "American Priorities": insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/american-…

Influence buying often is disguised as philanthropy, and now glad to see there’s a new platform covering it: Inside Political Money | Campaign Finance News and Analysis insidepoliticalmoney.com

@writeo Yep

@gabe_stutman I didn't know you'd left the J.

NEW: I looked at George Soros's political spending. The bulk of his network's reported $$ has gone to the Dems institutional power base, not its left-wing insurgency (some has gone to that). Soros gave personally both to leftists (Platner) and moderates insidepoliticalmoney.com/news/the-democ…

@1ShaynaMaidel Yes, there are links between Soros and radical left groups. Here's some info from the ADL. This ADL report notes $225K to JVP, but Soros gave $2.25 million to J Street's super PAC this cycle adl.org/resources/arti…

@gabe_stutman Very interesting. But what about the much larger scale of Soros’s non-electoral philanthropy supporting radical leftist causes through Open Society Foundations?

Also his PAC reported a comfortable $73 million in cash on hand. So a lot more to spend.

The Washington Post reported Soros is the single biggest individual megadonor in the country this election cycle, giving $102 million. washingtonpost.com/elections/inte…
