I suspect Chuck took them aside and said, “Fellas, we gotta work something else out here”

But yes. Donating via many individuals now, instead of as a PAC. Is what the PAC will be doing.

    Recognizing that their brand is cancer, AIPAC halts public endorsements and traceable direct contributions to candidates

  • Well that's just too bad. I enjoyed watching them waste money while simultaneously telling me who not to vote for.

    The KKK is known to put their public facing support towards those who they wanted to lose. That is at least before Trump gave their ideology enough cover to give real endorsements. I guess that's where we're heading with AIPAC

    The best part about this is that their new policy will still bribe politicians with millions in cash, but will now enable those politicians to state they do NOT take PAC donations or money from AIPAC. They’re publicly stating they will do the same bribes behind closed doors now to give politicians cover on the incredibly unpopular policy of Israel First. Truly absurd.

    In other words, they're going to hide their donations and influence from the public.

    All this means is they’re going to donate through Shell-PACs (donation made by “Totally-not-from-AIPAC-wink) to hide their direct influence.

    Since disclosure laws only go one level deep, it’s trivial to do.

    Task failed successfully. All donations now routed through proxy organizations. Initiate shadow war.

    Is it because they know it would be akin to organizing deck chairs on the titanic or do they know the fix is in? 🤔

    Because they see maga is starting to fail. They want to start bribing democrats now. But they know they can’t do that openly.

    This seems like a big deal in a good way

    It's moderately sized deal. AIPAC actually only started doing direct contributions a couple of years ago; before that IIRC they had their members and subsidiary PACs give bribes donations instead. Still, presumably they made that switch for a reason, so backtracking like this is basically them admitting that nobody likes them. I'm admittedly not as sure about the endorsements part.
