John, take a look
at a few of the headlines to come out since progressive champion Rep.
Jamaal Bowman lost his primary against an AIPAC-backed career politician
on Tuesday:

House seat. George Latimer has won the primary election for New York’s
16th congressional district, after the most expensive House race ever.

Squad members

There’s no doubt: we lost a powerful voice for everyday people in Congress
this week, and we need to rally together now to stop it from happening
again.

[ [link removed] ]We’re rushing to build the grassroots resources needed to re-elect
Justice Democrats incumbent and Squad member Cori Bush in her August
primary against another one of AIPAC’s hand-picked challengers. Can you
rush $5 now to fuel our fight?

There are a lot of hot takes out there about what led to this devastating
loss, but here are the three key takeaways from the most expensive primary
in U.S. history:

 1. AIPAC, its super PAC, and other right-wing outside groups used our
broken campaign finance system to funnel more than $20 million from
Republican millionaires and billionaires into this primary against a
Democratic incumbent.

 2. Gerrymandering took a toll here as well, with Jamaal’s district
shifting to include fewer voters in the Bronx and more in Westchester
suburbs. While Jamaal’s opponent won 69% of the Westchester County
vote, Jamaal secured a massive 84% majority of voters in Bronx County.
This district was purposefully cut to exclude Black and brown voters
from it.

 3. If AIPAC and George Latimer’s platform was so popular, it wouldn’t
have taken a historical amount of dark money for them to win this
seat. Our progressive, people-powered movement is a threat to the
status quo, which is why they had to spend so much to defeat us in
this race.

With a little over a month until Cori’s primary, we can’t sit around and
let AIPAC oust another member of the Squad with their war chest.

[ [link removed] ]Unlike AIPAC, we are powered by people like YOU. Please pitch in any
amount today to support our work to re-elect Cori, protect the Squad, and
stop AIPAC from setting our progressive movement back.
