The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has spent more than $100 million on federal elections so far this cycle, according to a review of the latest FEC data.

The super PAC has spent money on more than a dozen U.S. House races this year, but its spending totals were particularly large in a pair of Democratic primaries, where it backed candidates who unseated progressive incumbents who have criticized Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza.

    Campaign reform is necessary but it will never happen under Democrats or Republicans. The people benefiting from the bribes aren’t going to turn off their own faucet.

    AIPAC has already squashed dissenting members such as Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush from the Democratic party.
