19. Two things can be true at once

Tuesday

the accusations could be genuine, and AIPAC could've jumped on an opportunity.

Golden had announced last year that he was done with politics, and I kind of forgot about him. I shouldn't have - he takes a lot of donations from AIPAC and had that horrible vote for Trump. https://thedemlabs.org/2026/04/16/jared-golden-iran-war-vote-follow-the-money-2026/

We'll see what happens. But I won't be surprised if Golden suddenly is interested in politics again.
