Panetta Receives AIPAC Windfall
On January 23rd Panetta signed onto an open letter to Secretary Blinken that attacked South Africa’s genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The letter called the case “unfounded,” “defamatory,” and “an act of hostility.” Three days later, the ICJ’s preliminary ruling found South Africa’s accusations of genocide plausible and ordered Israel to take several immediate measures to ensure the safety of Palestinians.

Shannel Pittman For State Assembly 52
Shannel Pittman has lived in Los Angeles her entire life. She is sick of the fact that the Democratic Party isn’t fighting for the policies she believes we deserve. She believes that in California, we need Universal Healthcare, Housing as a Human Right, Free and Fast Transit, and Eco-Socialism.

Chase Linko-Looper: Filed to run for West Virginia Governor
I am excited to announce that today, I officially filed to run for governor of our great state under the Mountain Party ticket. I am humbled by the support and encouragement I have received from members of our community who believe in my vision for a better West Virginia.
However, as I paid the filing fee of just shy of $1,900, I couldn't help but think about how classist this system is. It is a clear indication that only those who are financially well-off can afford to run for office. This is not just a problem in our state, but in the entire country. It is a barrier that prevents ordinary citizens, especially those from marginalized communities, from participating in the democratic process.

Jason Call: It’s time to cut the Pentagon budget
While Congress is still dithering around, waiting for Republicans to get their act together long enough to fund the budget for the current year, the Biden White House is already finalizing their proposal for next year’s budget.

Michael Dublin is running for Congress in North Carolina
North Carolina is changing fast and not in the ways that serve all Carolinians. As we evolve and thrive across this state, I want to be sure that the rural areas, the workers, the marginalized and the poor are included.
Did you know that in Wake County the largest block of voters are the unaffiliated voters? That tells me that many of you are searching for real, concrete, honest options. Help me put the focus back on you and your needs. To me, all voices matter, all experiences matter, all your hopes and dreams matter, all families matter, all lives matter, you matter.

Permanent Ceasefire in Gaza, Now!

My name is Sean Dougherty and I’m running for Congress against Jimmy Panetta.
I call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. There is no military solution. The slaughter of the people of Gaza will accomplish nothing but the creation of more militants and thousands more dead children.

Jason Call: House Republicans are about to get their wish
I’m taking a pause on talking about international policy for a moment to talk about something alarming happening right here at home.
House Republicans are quietly drafting legislation that would let a small batch of lawmakers completely destroy Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid using closed-door committee meetings, totally out of sight of the American people.
