“Seth Moulton is not a progressive; he will tell you that himself. He’s a New Democrat Coalition member, he rather prominently picked a fight by opposing trans participation in youth sports right after the 2024 elections, and he’s generally a down-the-line, center-left Democrat. Yet the moment he jumped into a U.S. Senate primary against progressive Ed Markey, he essentially kicked off his campaign with the announcement that he would be returning all donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and would refuse any further contributions from them. ‘AIPAC has aligned itself too closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government’, Moulton wrote in a statement. This is far from an isolated incident. Mallory McMorrow, running for Senate in Michigan, has called Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide, and after appearing to solicit support from AIPAC in a leaked message, said she would not accept any.” (10/27/25)
