Also tracking: a proposed overhaul of the U.S.-Israel security partnership, Pennsylvania’s removal of state education guidance that used the Jerusalem Declaration, and new evidence that a 45-minute classroom lesson can reduce antisemitic beliefs.

In the wire: the DSA’s local and state electoral gains, disputed advertising of Rep. Ryan Zinke at a Turkey-linked event, and a still-unsettled East Bay congressional runoff.
