Sen. Chris Van Hollen told Breaking Points he does not accept AIPAC money and says Democrats should be held accountable for failing to challenge U.S. support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. Looking ahead to the 2028 U.S. presidential race, he says it should matter where candidates for the highest office “stood on this question of conscience.” Senator Chris Van Hollen | Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

🗳️Zeeshan Hafeez is a progressive running for Congress in Texas’s 33rd District, “an entirely winnable seat,” he told Breaking Points. The race is defined by unusually low turnout. “Only about 22,000 people voted in the Democratic primary” in 2024, he said. Hafeez is running against two establishment Democrats, Julie Johnson and Colin Allred, “who have received a combined $700,000 from AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby,” he highlighted. With the Democratic field fractured, the establishment vote could be split, and “fewer than 10,000 votes could put this race into a runoff,” host Ryan Grim noted. Hafeez tied foreign policy to domestic priorities, asserting that voters are “dealing with an affordability crisis at home,” and calling for federal investment in public transit, housing, wages, and education rather than endless foreign wars. His stance on Gaza has become the campaign’s strongest mobilizing issue, he said. “This is the issue that gets standing ovations… It’s younger people, it’s older people, it’s people of color, it’s everyone, anyone of conscience.” Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky | Zeeshan Hafeez

Chris Rabb, PA-03 candidate, responds to a voter asking why accommodations for the disabled are so lacking "Facilities and access to services that you need for basic dignity are too expensive for folks who are trying to profit because it hurts their bottom line. All of the things that you need should be basic rights you're not getting because of politics and the corrosive influence of money in them. That's why I don't take all that raggedy money, folks. So that you know when I'm speaking, I'm not anybody's puppet. I'm my own man." Rabb is the only candidate in PA-03 that does not accept PAC money and is pro-Medicare for All

Chris Rabb, PA-03 candidate, says he wants to ban prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket "It's a poverty tax. And I'm anti-poverty. The last thing we need is more iterations of gaming at the expense of folks who are already on the margins. And there's a lot of influence in those industries on campaigns. Did I mention that I don't take corporate PAC money?"

Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang, who is running for Congress in California’s 7th District, spoke with Ryan Grim about how her family’s history as Hmong refugees shaped her politics. Vang said her parents fled Laos after the CIA recruited Hmong communities to fight during the Vietnam War, leaving many families displaced and targeted after the U.S. withdrawal. Vang connected that history of war, displacement, and poverty to her campaign platform, including opposition to U.S. weapons funding for Israel, support for BDS, for abolishing ICE, and a broader challenge to corporate-funded politics.

🐊 “We are going to do it our damn selves.” Speaking at the “Chomp the Oligarchy” rally in Fort Lauderdale, democratic socialist Oliver Larkin, who is challenging Rep.

🎥 Ryan Grim asks Senator Chris Van Hollen whether he plans to run for president in 2028. Van Hollen said his focus is on defining what Democrats should stand for, calling “the inequality of wealth and power” the central crisis in the U.S., and citing major tax reform proposals he plans to reintroduce as a key part of addressing it. He also confirmed he recently spoke at Iowa’s Polk County Steak Fry—a long-standing stop for presidential hopefuls—where he argued Democrats must go beyond opposing Trump and show they are “not the party of the status quo,” but willing to break with special interests and fight for working people.

Antonio Reynoso, Brooklyn borough president and candidate for New York’s 7th Congressional District, pushed back on criticism that he was late to call Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide. He says all three major candidates in the race agree that “what happened in Gaza is a genocide” and oppose sending weapons to Israel or any country committing war crimes. Reynoso argues that Claire Valdez and DSA are using the timing of his position to draw a contrast where little exists on policy. Valdez who has made Palestine a defining issue of her campaign, was among the first local Democratic officials to call Israel’s war on Gaza a genocide and demand an immediate ceasefire (October 2023). She has backed BDS, supports a full U.S. arms embargo on Israel, cosponsors New York’s “Not on Our Dime” bill, and was arrested in 2025 while protesting U.S. weapons sales outside the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. Reynoso has criticized Valdez for accepting support from the pro-Palestine PAL PAC, saying it breaks an early pledge all took to reject super PAC support. 🎥 Full interview with Breaking Points is linked in reply.

🎥 “For me, this is deeper than politics.” Michigan state Rep. Donovan McKinney told Ryan Grim that his family moved more than 13 times while he was growing up in Detroit, at times living in cars, shelters, and on the street. McKinney said those experiences and his grandmother’s insistence that he “never fight the urge to give” led him into public service. Now challenging Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, McKinney said residents are being forced to choose between rent, food, and medicine while Washington funds “bombs and weapons to kill families and children overseas.” His campaign rejects corporate PAC and AIPAC money and has raised more than $1 million, with an average donation of $30. Here’s part of his conversation with Ryan Grim on Breaking Points. Donavan McKinney | Ryan Grim

The Democrats said FEMA had NO money for Americans in Western North Carolina. The Democrats said FEMA had NO money for Americans in Pacific Palisades, California. But FEMA had an extra $1 billion to spend on illegal aliens, including Social Security benefits, Medicaid, and voter registration. As a bonus, the Democrats built two massive mega-voting centers on foreign soil to house illegal aliens and import them in an attempt to overthrow the constitutional republic of the United States—all at the taxpayers’ expense. And the Democrats said the invasion was more secure than at any time in U.S. history.

The genocide of the Palestinian people must end now. I will continue to take every opportunity in the United States when meeting with political leaders to press for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the Israeli blockade on humanitarian aid and end their illegal settlements in the West Bank, and for a sovereign Palestinian state.

🏛️As of July 11, at least 10 of the 535 sitting members of Congress have publicly called for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Israel has held the pediatrician without charge since Dec. 27, 2024, after detaining him during a raid on the hospital. Rights groups and his family say he is nearing death after being tortured, starved, and denied adequate medical care in Israeli custody. 1. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.: Said Abu Safiya’s life was in immediate danger following torture and mistreatment and that “he must be released immediately.” 2. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., 12th District: Wrote, “Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya,” calling him a hero targeted for saving lives as director of Kamal Adwan Hospital “amid genocide.” 3. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.: Said Israel “kidnapped him” for refusing to abandon his patients and “he must be released.” 4. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., 4th District: Called on Israel to immediately release all 84 detained Palestinian health workers, including Abu Safiya, whom she described as reportedly near death after torture and starvation. 5. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., 7th District: Said he “must be released immediately” and called on Congress to stop sending taxpayer money that makes the U.S. complicit in the abuses. 6. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., 18th District: Said Abu Safiya must be released for immediate medical care, along with “any other prisoners being arbitrarily detained.” 7. Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., 3rd District: Called on the Trump administration to use “every diplomatic tool available” to secure his release and compel Israel to comply with international humanitarian law. 8. Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., 8th District: Said Abu Safiya must be released immediately to receive medical care and “continue his lifesaving work in Gaza.” 9. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., 14th District: Said Israel “must release” Abu Safiya, warning that he faces an “imminent threat to his life” from torture and medical neglect. 10. Rep. Valerie Foushee, D-N.C., 4th District: Demanded his immediate release for medical treatment and said he must be permitted to return to Gaza to continue his work.
