NEW: Candidates are increasingly distancing themselves from AIPAC while still meeting with the group in private and taking $ from its donors. The pro-Israel lobby isn’t receding - it’s going back to operating behind closed doors to influence elections theintercept.com/2025/12/30/a...
AIPAC Is Retreating From Endorsements and Election Spending. It Won’t Give Up Its Influence.
AIPAC is taking a quieter approach this midterms cycle, but the lobbying group is still seeking to keep Congress in Israel’s pocket.

Stop thinking about tech fascism in terms of individual famous people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

Think of it as an organism. This isn't about personalities. Personalities are boring comparing to fully seeing this system and feeling it in your skin, what they are going to do before they do it.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is clear: while protecting survivors, ALL of these records are required to be released today. Not just some.

The Trump Administration is legally required to release the Epstein Files by the end of today, but they are refusing to do so. The president himself signed this bill into law.

The Justice Department says it will not meet Friday’s congressionally mandated deadline to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Go figure, there’s too much they’d rather keep hidden.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
