    James Talarico is not documented as an AIPAC donor or official ally in the reporting provided; he attended an AIPAC event in 2019 but has since publicly disavowed taking money from AIPAC and criticized the pro‑Israel lobby, positions he has reiterated while campaigning for higher office [1] [2] [3]. Campaign finance records and reporting instead show connections to other PAC money—most notably a contribution from a Miriam Adelson‑linked PAC—which critics have used to raise questions distinct from any formal AIPAC connection [4] [5] [6].

    Ohh thanks for linking to this! I didn't know about this site before.

    You're welcome. And it's too bad, too, because I like what Talirico says, but what he does doesn't align. Did he give the money back? I don't know, but why would he take it?

    While no candidate is perfect, I maintain it is more important to watch what candidates do, and ignore what they say, unless and until it aligns. And so far, Dems ain't it.

    What's the alternative in this situation?

    This? Realize we're not voting our way out of anything, educate self, start study groups and organize.

    Yes, we have one party here. But so does America. Except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!
