Why did Haley Stevens flip? Follow the AIPAC money.

Discover the campaign finance ties between Rep. Haley Stevens, AIPAC, and Netanyahu. We follow the money to explain her recent political flip-flops.

• Stevens was AIPAC’s candidate in the primary. The pro-Israel lobby’s super PAC, the United Democracy Project, reported spending $9.3 million supporting her and $5.7 million attacking El-Sayed by mid-July, nearly $15 million in all. — Crust News
• Abigail Ronson, a spokesperson for the Mike Rogers campaign, is a registered foreign agent for the state of Israel through Convergence Media which has been paid millions this election cycle.
• Ronson used to work for Senate Majority Speaker Mike Johnson and is registered as a foreign agent for Israel, doing work for HAVAS Media Network via Brad Parscale’s Clocktower X LLC. — DropSite
• Being paid by Israel to post on social media is also very lucrative — around $7,000 per post on social media such as Tik Tok and Instagram on behalf of Israel. Responsible Statecraft

Israel gets $300 billion in U.S. aid. Every Israeli gets universal healthcare. How’s your healthcare?

• Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid received over $300 billion — CIFR
• Bridges Partners, a firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany, an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000, starting in June and slated to end in November, for a cohort of 14–18 influencers to create content.
• The document, which was filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, notes that the funding is for both “payments for influencers and production,” but does not provide a breakdown between the two.
• The firm estimated that the cohort was expected to produce 75–90 posts in that time. Doing the math, that would be $6,143 per post on the low end. On the high end, each influencer could be making as much as $7,372 per post. — Responsible Statecraft
