Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI), the cartoonish caricature of a Zionist liberal who once claimed that “Israel comes to me in my dreams,” was thrust into the national spotlight when AIPAC pumped $32 million into her senate campaign, the largest single donation from any PAC or donor for any Democratic in this election cycle.
This week, that proved to be poison when Abdul El-Sayed narrowly beat her for the Democratic nomination.
El-Sayed, who joins the growing train of progressives toppling the Democratic establishment in places like New York City and Colorado, used this Big Money donation (which amounted to about $62 million, creating a 12-1 donation advantage over El-Sayed) against her in debates, speeches, and campaign ads.
AIPAC’s main response to El-Sayed’s attacks was that Stevens would fare better come November against “evil” Republican Mike Rogers. But one day after El-Sayed’s victory, Israel’s hypocrisy shines as always as AIPAC begins donations to Rogers’ campaign.
Our guest, investigative journalist Eli Clifton, whose new book with Ian Lustick Israel’s Lobby: America in the Grip of a Foreign Power is now available for pre-order, explains why he expects AIPAC to well outspend its $32 million primary efforts in November, as well as why the campaign is about to get “much uglier.”

Returning to Useful Idiots this week is 4-time combat veteran and host of Daniel Davis Deep Dive on YouTube: Lt. Col. Daniel Davis!
In the early stages of the second Trump administration, Davis was considered for a top job under the now-former Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. He almost got the job until Laura Loomer intervened.
That’s right. The Islamophobic, arch-Zionist bigot who’s currently visiting Ukraine and extolling the virtues of arming Zelensky’s government got Daniel Davis’s nomination quashed because Davis has been critical of Israel. So of course that’s a no-go in the so-called America First administration.
This week, we tap into his military expertise to discuss the growing conflicts under Trump’s watch, from the Ukraine proxy war to the regime-change war against Iran.
