Cori Bush has been ousted in a surprising twist of Democratic primaries, and the pro-Israel spending frenzy just added to the mix! Buckle up for the wild ride!

Cori Bush, a prominent member of the progressive 'Squad,' recently faced a shocking defeat in the Democratic primary for Missouri's 1st congressional district. The St. Louis County prosecutor, Wesley Bell, emerged victorious in a race that drew significant attention—and cash—from pro-Israel campaign contributors. The results were particularly disheartening for progressives, who had high hopes of maintaining a fierce advocate for their cause in Congress.
