Yep. She has deep pocket backers, and they aren't from MI.

Two graphs that together never get old... "The problem with generative AI, in the industry’s own jargon, is that it does not scale." www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

A graph labeled "What Tech Companies Want to See When They Scale" shows the average cost per user decreases as the number of users increases, illustrating "logarithmic scaling."

A graph labeled "What AI Companies Are Seeing As They Scale LLMs" shows that the cost per million tokens generated increases exponentially as the tokens per second per request increases when using various public "AI" models.

Text from the cited American Priorities report dated July 15, 2026 says:

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, July 15, 2026
Press Contact: greg@slingshotstrat.com, 516-860-7409

New Poll: El-Sayed Leads Stevens by Double-Digits; AIPAC Deeply Unpopular with MI Democrats
American Priorities (AP) today released a new poll conducted by Data for Progress of likely Democratic primary voters in Michigan, gauging their preference between Senate candidates Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and U.S. Representative Haley Stevens.

The poll finds El-Sayed leading Stevens by 13 points (54% to 41%), with 5% undecided.

Further, the survey finds that AIPAC is deeply unpopular with Michigan Democratic primary voters, with a net -46 favorability rating. Seventy-eight percent say they would be less likely to vote for a US Senate candidate backed by AIPAC, and 86% say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who supports continued funding for Israel’s war in Gaza."

NOPE

An image from Track AIPAC shows a photo of Elissa Slotkin, Democrat US Senator from Michigan accompanied by text that indicates she has received $655,095 from the pro-Israel lobby as of 3/20/2025. The information confirming this is from fec.gov.

A Twitter post from Revolving Door Project dated 6/3/2025 says, "NEW: Who's backing WelcomePAC, the centrist group hosting this weeks Abundance-themed WelcomeFest? FEC records reveal big donations from tech baron Reid Hoffman, ultra-wealthy Walmart heirs, Michael Bloomberg, and Heather Manchin's advocacy group."
This text is followed by a list of campaign finance records and a WelcomeFest flyer listing numerous Democrat speakers including (but not limited to) Slotkin, Golden, and Torres as well as Matt Yglesias.

Bernie Sanders was never trying for a socialist revolution. "Bernie Sanders’ movement, or “political revolution,” as he describes it, is here to preserve capitalism and imperialism, by any means necessary" www.hamptonthink.org/read/the-mis...

Text from the cited article says, "What has become increasingly evident to me over the last few years, specifically, is how much Bernie Sanders’ rise and the modern popularity of social democracy masking itself as [democratic] socialism—though effective in moving millions of people away from centrism and establishment politics and rule—has created a moment of opportunism, careerism, and political punditry masking itself as radical organizing and activism. A moment whose primary role is not just funnelling people back into the arms of the Democratic Party; but also miseducating the masses regarding what socialism actually entails, beyond welfare-state policies and electoralism. There’s been so much talk about the “mainstreaming of socialism” while the whitewashing and watering down of the ideals inherent within a socialist politic remains deliberate as a means of delegitimizing and co-opting the actualities of what building socialism would actually entail. Socialism is not something that can be implemented through policy or mixed in with capitalism. Bernie knows this..."

It isn't just that they fund US candidates. They smear non-AIPAC candidates, & people shouldn't forget that part when evaluating claims about candidates who aren't taking AIPAC cash. The importance of voting in primary elections cannot be overstated. That's where they weed out people they don't want

Full description after the TLDR.
TLDR: AIPAC uses a carrot (campaign cash) and stick (primarying politicians who don't do what they want) strategy to induce politicians to prioritize Zionist Israel above all other issues.
Description: A hand drawn image of a stick figure standing behind a burro with the words "US POLITICIANS above him. The burro has a circlet on his head connected to a carrot which dangles in front of his face. There is a dollar sign above the carrot. An arrow points to the carrot and the name AIPAC is below the arrow. The stick figure carries a stick. Next to the stick is the word "PRIMARIES." An arrow points to the stick figure and the words, "ALSO AIPAC are below it.

He's doing the thing. The bargaining from the Center position instead of from the correct position which would be banning data centers, investigating the financial fraud that is certainly going on with unprofitable companies being valued in the billions, & the mass theft of IP these people have done

A block of text says, "For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must just be weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less with almost every fight, and that they start by bargaining from the Center position and moving Right--and eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards...they're complicit."

It has nothing to do with his skin color. It has everything to do with how he has used his leadership position and how much cash he has taken from a de-facto agent of a foreign state. bsky.app/profile/sjon...

He's in this party

A Venn diagram with 1 circle representing the Democrats and another the Republicans. The part where the circles overlap has a list of issues the parties agree on: anti-labor, anti-union; total support for Israel; do Wall Street's bidding; unlimited military spending; hostility to Russia, Iran, & China; full-spectrum domination; let money rule politics; neoliberalism rocks; spy on everyone; screw the poor and old; oligarchy not democracy; vive US imperialism; outlaw 3rd parties; crush the left; regime change is cool; kill the poor; total support for militarized police. The part of the Democrat circle outside of the central overlapping area includes the following: some stuff about abortion, pro-choice that they don't mean; acknowledge climate change but do nothing about it. The part of the Republican circle outside the central overlapping area includes: some stuff about pro-life and guns; deny climate change. A single circle surrounds the Democrat and Republican circles. This circle is labeled "Republicrats." The header outside the single circle says, "One US Party."

Of course they're giving away their "product" at a discount. No one will pay for its full cost because it isn't worth it. It's a non-deterministic, plagiarism app. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-indus...

Anthropic is a large language model company that loses billions of dollars that has subsidized accounts that allow users to burn $8,000 a month in tokens for $200. To paraphrase and build upon something said by Cory Doctorow, if your business is only successful when you give away $40 for $1, that’s not a real business, it’s a way to feed venture capital dollars to hyperscalers and sell a bunch of people a product that doesn’t exist.

On an endless loop...

A diagram shows the "progressive's dilemma." There is a sequence of boxes with arrows pointing to a subsequent box. The box sequence is as follows: "why don't you work within the existing party" -> "Okay, we'll run progressive primary candidates" -> "Sorry, they're not really Democrats" -> The Democrats need to move left" -> "If you want to move left, start your own party" -> "Okay, I'll vote for a third party" -> "I can't believe you'd split the vote like that." The arrow points back to the "The Democrats need to move left box" which points back to the "why don't you work within the existing party" box. The entirety forms two closed loops that illustrate the Democrat's refusal to offer anything even slightly left of center and insistence on blaming voters who don't want to vote for centrist & center-right candidates for their losses.

Jonni Skinner's testimony at a California Senate Judiciary Committee hearing against Senator Scott Wiener’s bill (SB934) to ban conversion therapy ⬇️ genderblog.net/jonni-skinne...

Text from the cited article says, "Jonni told Wiener how gender care specialists “poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my puberty and messing with my development. The result: I’m a 23-year old gay man who has never had an orgasm and may never have one. Let that sink in… SB934 guarantees that more people will end up like me, the walking but wounded. I could have been spared all of this if any of my therapists explored why I felt dysphoric, but they never did. They only led me to hate my body more… this Bill is an attempted workaround that will be used to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my sexual function.”

Jaime Harrison is doing the thing. His favored mediocre, mark time, centrist, AIPAC candidates lost to progressive Democratic challengers, so now we're at the "Sorry, they're not real Democrats" part of the loop.
