Rep. Haley Stevens: "In the United States Congress, I will continue to fight for the people of Israel!" "Israel comes to me in my dreams!"

Congressional candidate files a complaint with the local AG, accusing Israel of interfering in his election

🟡🔵 Slowly at first, and now all at once, Michigan has become the central battleground in the country’s war over the U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as the public’s ability to debate it freely. Campuses nationwide erupted in 2024 over U.S. complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide, with authorities rolling up encampments, disciplining students, and in some cases pursuing criminal charges. Michigan moved especially aggressively. After an Ann Arbor prosecutor declined to bring felony charges against protest organizers, state Attorney General Dana Nessel intervened. Now, after those cases ended in acquittals and dismissals, the federal government has stepped in, unveiling a sweeping felony indictment against eight pro-Palestinian advocates. The political backlash has been just as striking. Protesters mobilized against University of Michigan Regents who backed the crackdown. Jordan Acker, one of its fiercest advocates, was replaced by Lebanese American Amir Makled, who ran against the repression. Eli Savit, the prosecutor who refused to charge protesters, won the Democratic nomination for attorney general. In Michigan’s Senate race, despite millions spent by AIPAC and allied groups, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has emerged as the Democratic frontrunner over Mallory McMorrow who has shied away from strongly criticizing Israel’s conduct and AIPAC-endorsed Haley Stevens, with the campaign centering on U.S. support for Israel. Across the board, Michigan voters are demanding a change in the relationship with Israel. State and federal leaders, meanwhile, are pulling every lever available to resist that democratic shift.

This isn't hard: Condemn Israel’s genocide without equivocation. Israel’s violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my colleague cannot bring herself to say that is concerning.

Israel’s Defense Minister said Friday that regardless of any future U.S.-Iran agreement, Israel will not withdraw from territories it currently occupies in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, or from the refugee camps and other areas it has newly occupied in the northern West Bank since late 2023. His comments also suggested Israel could expand its military occupation to additional areas of the West Bank. 🔸Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said: “Israel must ensure that in the future as well, we will have the ability to act independently to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to prepare accordingly. Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region, and most of the territory of Gaza—against the threats posed by jihadist forces and organizations, as a central lesson from the events of October 7. The IDF will not withdraw from the terrorist camps in northern Samaria, which have been evacuated of residents, and if necessary, the operation will be expanded to additional terrorist camps.” 🔗 Full below ⬇️

This is a clear fuck you to America. He’s saying they definitely won’t listen to our peace deal and they will definitely not stop attacking. Exactly as predicted. So, the answer should be equally clear - fuck you back! You’re on your own. No more money or military help. Easy!

Mike Rogers is a guy who voted to raise prescription drug prices 60 times. Architected the legislation that kicked off the opioid epidemic. Took a $14 million payout as a pharma lobbyist. Who better to beat him than a doctor who rebuilt Detroit's health department, put Narcan in 100 different locations, and eliminated $700 million in medical debt?

Back at it—and this time we're bringing receipts. The 4th deserves a rep whose only loyalty is to the people who live here. No corporate checks to cash. No donors to thank on the floor. The 4th District is worth fighting for. Proof coming this week.

Oh, so it's bad to challenge a Dem incumbent in a primary now.

Deeply uncomfortable to watch. Haley Stevens has no problem taking money from AIPAC but as soon as she gets pressed on it she runs away. Impossible to defend the indefensible.

NEW in the Judge Street Journal: Antonio Reynoso has been an outspoken critic of Israel. But that hasn't scared away AIPAC donors.

"And I'll stick with the union, 'till every battle's won" I'm honored to earn the endorsement of SEIU Florida. Together, we're fighting for: • Affordable housing • Accessible healthcare • Strong public schools • Good union jobs • Fully funded veteran care
