House Democrats are in a mad dash to isolate Texas Democratic congressional candidate Maureen Galindo, who has said she wants to turn an ICE facility into a "prison for American Zionists."

Why it matters: A mysterious PAC is spending hundreds of thousands to boost Galindo, which Democrats allege is a Republican attempt to ensure the GOP candidate in that district faces a weak opponent in November.

• "House Republican leadership must immediately cease propping up this antisemitic candidacy," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) said in a statement Tuesday evening.
• Galindo did not respond to multiple requests for comment, with a spokesperson for the Republican-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund declining to say if the GOP is behind PAC spending on her behalf.

The latest: Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said in a joint statement, "If, for some reason, Maureen Galindo wins ... as soon as she is sworn in, we will force a vote to expel her every day she is here."

• "Maureen's insane, antisemitic views — including putting Americans in concentration camps — have no place in our Party or country," they said.
• There is also private pressure on DelBene and the DCCC to spend money to block Galindo from getting the nomination, Axios has learned.

Driving the news: Galindo's campaign wrote in an Instagram post last weekend that, if elected, she would turn the Karnes County Immigration Processing Center into "a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers."

• It's the latest in a series of inflammatory comments by Galindo, who told Axios she would introduce legislation to have "all American candidates and elected officials who have ever taken Israeli money tried for treason."
• Galindo finished first in the Democratic primary in Texas' 35th district in March and is now in a runoff with sheriff's deputy Johnny Garcia.

State of play: Garcia had already been backed by the DCCC, the centrist Blue Dog Coalition and Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) before Galindo's latest comments.

• On Tuesday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) denounced Galindo, saying in a post on X that "this bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics," and endorsed Garcia.
• Track AIPAC, a left-wing organization that supports anti-Zionist candidates, also pulled its endorsement of Galindo on Tuesday night.

Yes, but: So far, the Lead Left PAC — a cryptic group whose website metadata includes a link to the GOP fundraising website WinRed — is the biggest single spender in the Democratic primary runoff.

• The group has spent nearly $600,000 on the race supporting Galindo, according to ad tracking firm AdImpact.
• That's compared to just under $400,000 spent by the Blue Dog Action PAC and $200,000 by outside liberal group Project 218 in support of Garcia, on top of $68,000 in ads run by Garcia's campaign.

What we're hearing: There has been a behind-the-scenes push for Democratic leadership to take a more active role in trying to sink Galindo's candidacy.

• "Many members have brought issues about this race to DelBene," one House Democrat told Axios, who said they "get the sense that [the DCCC] is going to spend, invest some resources."
• DelBene and members of the Texas delegation have been asking colleagues to donate to Garcia individually, according to multiple lawmakers familiar with the entreaties.
• A second House Democrat who spoke to Axios on the condition of anonymity said it is "unique" for the DCCC to make a "solo ask as opposed to [a] group" ask on behalf of Red to Blue candidates.

[Comandante Marcos]

None of you doomer jew spergers are physically fit, own weaponry, or know how to fight. You're going to get shot by a nigger with an full-auto Glock when you go pickup your jeet delivered goyslop.

If a White person still lives among infinity niggers and shitskins in 2026, there's no hope for them. They're gonna scream how much of an ally they are as they are turned into pink goo when the brownies realize that there's no fed.gov coming to the rescue of their white golems. Not my problem, suffah race traitors.

 

[Hallucinogenic Penguin]

You know, commies, niggers, and brother fucking somalis in Congress can say the nastiest shit about White Christians with no issue, but if the voters dare to elect another retarded Democrat with a more harshly antisemitic flavor that's just something they won't dare put up with.

The Dems had their chance back in 2020/21 to cull their useful idiot commie rioters after they successfully got their sock puppet into office.

They could have let the rank and file get locked away forever. No more bail outs. Just rotting away forever in a cell. They served their purpose.

The Antifa leaders? Whoops, turns out they died of suicide from two shots to the head. They were trans anyways so it’s understandable.

 

[Cuckoman]

She is going for the young progressive votes I see.
Makes sense, the boomers will soon die off and it is very very clear that the future of the democratic party is with the young "from the river to the sea" left.

You have been courting this demographics and this part of your party for so long that this is now both popular and acceptable views in your party, especially the young ones.
Now you are surprised that someone wants to build their political platform on them ?

You made this acceptable, you now reap what you sowed.

BAHAHAHAH You niggers created this monster, now you have to live with it. Cope, seethe!
Why are we assuming its Republican? Have you considered its some wealthy Jew trying to make the pro-Palestine movement look like the brown retards they are?

I know Dems can be ruthless, but you can't expect them to publicly execute their own children.

 

[The Dude]

Democrats have used the tactic of financially supporting Republican candidates who are typically unappealing to the general voters so they'll have the advantage in an election race for decades. Now that their US-AID piggy bank was taken from them and they can no longer afford these kinds of tactics as easily, and the Republicans are using their own tactics against them, they cry "foul". Sorry Dems, this is the political system you've worked so hard to build. Sorry you were too hubristic and naive to ever conceive that it might no longer be you getting to use these tools for power.

 

[sperginity]

in a couple years the only bi-partisan legislation will be anti-israel. this is all way too popular to be reigned in, there is not enough money to suppress it.

 

[jertzog]

She's fake and gay. Might as well run a TKD candidate while they're at it.
Jews don't know how long their new war is going to go on so they're throwing gayops like this into the wind.
Every time jews are at war with palestine or egypt or some other neighbor, the leftchuds are given permission to criticize and talk shit as a relief valve for keeping the zionism dollars coming in.

 

[The Gay Oboma Creature]

It's funny watching the dems tardwrangle their retarded base, but I must remind everyone that none of this is a serious threat to Israel's control over the party. For all of their talk, Dem congressmen have quietly admitted to journos that they view the Iran war as a good thing. When the competence crisis interacts with their attempts to convince their voters otherwise, funny things like pic related happen.



Remember that the mayor of somali Minneapolis and the only billionaire in Haiti are both Jewish. The browning of the DNC will not affect the money and arms shipments to Tel Aviv, and creating a world of 70 IQ nons that are biologically incapable of competing with them for power is very much something they are doing on purpose.

---

I will say that, contra popular perception, anti-interventionist Republicans have had a lot more success. It was a "Pacific Pivot" guy at the Pentagon that convinced them to evacuate our Middle East bases instead of having Americans sit there and get blown up en masse to justify a larger war. Likewise, while the Iran War has been very bad for Trump's political career, the ground invasion that the Fuentes people were screeching about and the Israelis were desperately hoping for looks like it is not going to happen, in part due to the fact that a number of staunch noninterventionists made it into the administration, or into places adjacent to it. Massie may have sperged his way out of an easy primary victory this time, but he handily won the one before it, and AIPAC was already going balls to the wall to unseat him.


(Keep in mind that these results are from after he made a bunch of idiotic statements on immigration that got him canned. He won the previous primary 70-12-11, and he was already known as an anti-Israel guy)

Very real possibility that, 8 years from now, Republicans end up as the anti-Israel party as boomers exit the scene, and Democrats end up as the pro-Israel party as their minority base slowly comes to understand who signs their welfare checks. I've already seen the occasional Tumblr lib placing Jews at the top of the progressive stack, to surprisingly little pushback.

That'd be funny.

But, I think the more realistic outcome would be:

Republicans: Anti-Israel
Democrats: Pro-Palestine

Either way? As you say... TBD is going to make for some very interesting political changes (in the cursed Chinese way, unfortunately)

Agile Combat Employment didn't have anything to do with trying to prevent a larger conflict from blowing up in the Middle East if shit actually did kick off. It's designed to ensure the Air Force still has resources available so if they get attacked in a few certain places, they have the means to keep the fight going. The concept itself even goes back to World War II and the practice of "cluster basing," and the current practice dates to General Brown implementing it at PACAF after his stint at AFCENT.

Indeed, dear democrats tell us how do you feel now then the shoe is in the other foot and you receive a taste of your own medecine?

Lol this is why I'm a registered Democrat in my state. So I can vote for the dumbest motherfuckers in the primary.

C'mon, AOC on the Dem ticket, 2028!

Listen to Thomas Sowell!

I think whats more likely is that public support for israel becomes a radioactive proposition so it goes underground. Politicians like Massie will talk a big game but still take money from parties aligned with the interests of Israel albeit less directly and obviously than AIPAC. I think this will be very effective too because many people are credulous and easily impressed.

"So what if he took money from a billionaire who just happens to be Jewish? That doesn't mean he's compromised like the other goy. IM NOT OWNED IM NOT OWNED!"
