Whose Congress
is it, anyway?

Your representatives take millions from a lobby working for a foreign government, then vote to send your money overseas. We pulled the FEC receipts on every one of them.

The numbers, sourced

This isn't a theory.
It's arithmetic.

$3.8B
Guaranteed to Israel every year under the 2016 ten-year, $38 billion US memorandum of understanding. The largest such pledge in US history.
$17.9B
US military aid to Israel in the single year after October 7, 2023. A record, on top of the annual $3.8 billion.
~$30M
What AIPAC poured into one Democratic Senate primary in Michigan in 2026. Its largest single-race spend ever. It worked.
