NEW: I tracked every single dollar AIPAC spent this cycle. While navigating backlash & publicly retreating from endorsing & funding campaigns, there are still few seats in Congress it hasn’t touched. AIPAC isn’t going away; it’ll just be harder to track 🧵theintercept.com/2026/10/29/…

Trump calls Ilhan Omar "a fresh little thing" who comes from "Somalia, which isn't even really a country. People walk around killing each other all day." The crowd chants "Lock her up! Lock her up!"
