It's time to raise the alarm, Harris: AIPAC, Crypto, and their affiliated dark money super PACs are coming for the Squad and other Justice Democrats in 2026.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) takes checks from Trump-supporting millionaire and billionaire megadonors and lobbies Congress for unconditional support for Israel while spending hundreds of millions of dollars attacking progressive, pro-Palestinian candidates in Democratic primaries.
They did it last cycle when they unseated progressive champions Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, and reports indicate they're getting ready to do it all over again in 2026, setting their sights on remaining Squad members like Rep. Ilhan Omar.
In a new Politico article, the spokesperson for one of AIPAC's super PACs said they're "looking at both Republican and Democratic opportunities" to expand "the pro-Israel bipartisan majority in Congress" and "anticipates being highly-involved in a number of races opposing anti-Israel incumbents, defending pro-Israel Members of Congress against anti-Israel challengers, and in open seats where there is a detractor of the US-Israel relationship." To summarize, they're gearing up to take down any Democrat with the courage to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and oppose the genocide of Palestinians.
Similarly, the pro-Crypto group Fairshake PAC, which has spent millions against Justice Democrats candidates and progressives in previous elections, said "everything is on the table."
AIPAC and Crypto were two of the largest political spenders in the 2024 cycle, and they're clearly getting ready to spend even more in 2026 to try to destroy our progressive movement of leaders who put people before profits.
They want to unseat the Squad completely to maintain the status quo and their grip on power in Washington. This is a David vs. Goliath fight between genocide and peace, between the working class and billionaire elites. We need to prepare NOW.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
