Oh yes, bask in the glow of the WSJ, that bastion of the left. Scrutiny? At this point you should be on a perma-block to defend Democracy at all costs. You caved in January for what, to protect support for Israel? Preserve DC budget? How's that working? AIPAC is GOP's secret weapon.

AIPAC is funneling Republican donor money into our Democratic primaries, hurting progressive candidates who appeal to younger voters. Whatever your thoughts on Israel, itās a corruption of our system to let another nation have this much influence. DNC needs to break with AIPAC
