When Democratic US Rep. Haley Stevens announced her ++stunning flip++ to endorse Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, she did so with ++two registered agents++ of the Israeli government standing behind her, according to a ++report++ from Drop Site News.

The person who opened the press conference outside a Detroit church was Abigail Ronson, a spokesperson for the Rogers campaign, whom Drop Site found had ++registered++ as an agent working on behalf of the Israeli government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) on May 18, 2026.

    The registration lists Ronson as a part-time contractor for Clock Tower X, a communications company owned by Brad Parscale, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump.

    In May, Responsible Statecraft and The Intercept reported that through Clock Tower X, Parscale has run a multimillion-dollar operation funded by the Israeli government aimed at influencing American public opinion, which has turned dramatically against Israel amid its genocidal assault on Gaza and systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank.

    This campaign reportedly involves producing and distributing pro-Israel content aimed at younger Americans, particularly conservatives and evangelical Christians, creating articles meant to influence artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to give answers favorable to Israeli narratives, and conducting text messaging campaigns to direct Americans toward pro-Israel content.

    We need to actually crack down on this shit, the only reason AIPAC exists, is after their last one had to register under FARA, Israel created AIPAC and immediately donated a shit ton of money to the congressional committee that determines who has to register.

    This shit isn’t impoitintix, we just need politicians not already bought into the system, and we’re gonna get a lot closer to that after tomorrow
