General Discussion

but, this is an honest question...who is funding Lander and is there any group equally untrustworthy as AIPAC has become? Likewise, how deeply funded by AIPAC was Dan Goldman?

Since I could not vote in that election, I did not research it, but there ARE donations and then there ARE DONATIONS--so it would be nice to know which, since Goldman's opponents are implying the was all but "owned" by AIPAC in terms of what he would do in the future. While I don't doubt he has been a friend to Israel in the past, most in Congress HAVE and that would not have been remotely controversial in years past. And now, I don't know that that means he might not have moderated his positions given both Trump and Netanyahu were in office.

Were you living/voting in the district represented? I find Mamdani quite interesting as well. That he had thee of his endorsed candidates (including two who defeated incumbents) win is quite the statement as well. Not that it extended beyond that area of NYC but still interesting and worth watching.

I congratulate them all. Lander, especially seems worth watching. That said, I do hope Goldman stays close and we hear from him again--in whatever role.
