Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

AIPAC Spending Millions to Unseat Progressive MO Congressmember Cori Bush

HeadlineAug 02, 2024

In other election news, progressive leaders are throwing their weight behind Missouri Congressmember Cori Bush ahead of her primary election next Tuesday, as the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC is throwing millions of dollars to smear Cori Bush and fund her challenger, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell. AIPAC’s super political action committee United Democracy Project already unseated another Squad member, New York’s Jamaal Bowman, earlier this primary season. Cori Bush has been an outspoken defender of Palestinian rights and against Israel’s war on Gaza.
