Anti-Israel Dark Money Machine Powers Justice Democrats’ 2026 Squad-Building Campaign

Today's lead: A Jewish Insider investigation exposes the IMEU Policy Project — an anti-Israel dark-money operation out of a strip mall near Anaheim — as the engine behind Justice Democrats PAC and its cycle of far-left primary challengers. It's the financial architecture of the Squad, rebuilt and running hot in 2026.

Also tracking: Trump orders a third consecutive night of strikes on Iran, threatens to seize Kharg Island, as Iran targets U.S. bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain — and the Fetterman-Klain Democratic rupture widens as Biden's own former chief of staff defends Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo.

In the wire: DOJ indicts 8 University of Michigan anti-Israel activists; Lindsey Graham defeats anti-Israel primary challenger; a California pro-Israel Dem loses her runoff slot to a progressive Israel critic; and a new ADL report finds NYC divestment would cost taxpayers $37 billion.
