Text from article: The complex dynamics were on particularly vivid display Tuesday in Illinois’ 9th Congressional District, where Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss emerged as the projected winner in a field of candidates vying to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky. At first, groups believed to be linked to AIPAC boosted state Sen. Laura Fine and attacked Biss. But with Fine attracting little support, AIPAC turned its sights onto Kat Abughazaleh, a young Palestinian American progressive and first-time candidate — but again, not by mentioning Israel. (One ad savaged her for supporting Marco Rubio’s presidential candidacy — when she was 16 years old.) Abughazaleh turned the tables by making AIPAC’s attacks a centerpiece of her campaign, mocking the group and its ads to her substantial social media following. AIPAC then tried to peel off support from Abughazaleh by boosting trailing candidate Bushra Amiwala, who harshly condemned the group for helping her. Even Biss, despite being the front-runner in the race he won, used AIPAC as a foil. “AIPAC finds someone like me really scary,” he said. “Someone who’s Jewish, someone whose mother is Israeli, someone whose grandparents survived the Holocaust and who is willing to stand up and say, ‘Listen, the conduct of the national government in Gaza has been a horror.’” Despite AIPAC’s best efforts, the seat will likely be filled by someone who sees AIPAC as more foe than friend.

Alt-text Part 2: Post by Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump: Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP 12:24 PM – Mar 14, 2026

Part 1 of alt-text: Screen shot of a social media post (Twitter) by Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC with text and quote-posting a text by Donald Trump. Brendan Carr post: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change! Post by Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump: Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media ... (Alt-text continued in next image)
