“Cori Bush, the two-term U.S. representative from Missouri who emerged from justice movements and the Ferguson uprising, was ousted from office in 2024 in one of the most expensive House primaries in history. Bush was one of two members of the Squad (along with Jamaal Bowman) unseated by pro-Israel groups. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee alone spent nearly $10 million against Bush’s campaign, and a crypto-backed PAC spent another $1.4 million. Other members of the Squad, like Summer Lee, fended off similar attacks. In These Times Executive Editor Ari Bloomekatz sat down with Bush at the Jewish Voice for Peace National Member Meeting in Baltimore in early summer. Their focus was on how the Left might strategically push forward. This interview has been significantly edited for length, order and clarity.” (07/21/25)
