Roll Call reports: "The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to denounce what it called misinformation campaigns funded by AIPAC, cryptocurrency PACS and the pharmaceutical industry."

Bernie called out one such group in an email to PCCC members, writing "this super PAC is backing Republican members of Congress who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election."

NBC News quotes the PCCC on the stakes if this doesn't stop: "The Democratic Party is going to lose in 2022 and beyond if the establishment remains silent as corporate interests try to throttle dynamic young leaders and prop up those most likely to oppose a popular agenda."

Sign the petition to Nancy Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders: Take a stand and make clear that anyone who is part of corporate dark-money misinformation ads are persona non grata with Democrats in Congress and the DCCC. Sign here.

The Guardian reports that AIPAC's dark-money super PAC "has also spent $1.2m to protect the Texas Democratic congressman, Henry Cuellar, who faces a run-off later next week against Jessica Cisneros, a 28-year-old immigration lawyer who is endorsed by members of the Squad." Cuellar is the last anti-choice Democrat in the House, and he is under FBI investigation!

These groups don't run ads on the issues they purport to care about -- such as Israel, low corporate taxes, and slashing business regulations. Instead, they falsely accuse popular progressive candidates of being bad Democrats. This is a rich accusation from corporate-funded groups like AIPAC that "went Full Trump" and endorsed over 30 pro-insurrection Republican members of Congress.

But disingenuous as they are, their misinformation campaigns have a devastating impact. Summer Lee had a 25-point lead just weeks before the primary this past Tuesday. Then, a dark-money campaign spent millions spreading misinformation and turned the race into a nail-biter. Two progressives in North Carolina lost races after corporate dark money groups spent $7 million on misinformation campaigns against them.

Many Democratic leaders, consultants, and agencies have cozy relationships with the groups spending these millions of dollars of dark money trying to stop progressive candidates.

Speaker Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders need to take a stand and make clear that anyone who is part of these corporate dark-money misinformation ads are persona non grata with Democrats in Congress and the DCCC.
