its claim is it is an organization that wants to elect black democrats and rashida tlaib has a blacknt but this is also transparent nonsense as if aipac and its donors are really concerned about increasing black representation. they're going after rashida tlaib for one reason only, because she is a palestinian member of congress who is a passionate and eloquent defender of the community -- community of palestinians. because that agenda is laid out nakedly, would not be popular, you have these transparent claims that it is really about something else, the claim somehow because she is not black she cannot represent a district in michigan, even though she has strong black supporters for the tireless defender of the people in her district of all races. juan: peter, trustingly, there's also a govern's race in maryland. both competitive primaries and about the democratic and republican parties to elect a successor to the republican governor hogan. has aipac been involved in those races are only contracted desk concerned with congressional? >> democratic primaries in congressional races. ai

sanders is heading to pontiac, michigan today for a campaign rally with levin and congressmember rashida tlaib also been targeted by outside money groups. a new pac aligned with aipac run by bakari sellers has vowed to spend over $1 million to defeat rashida to leave -- tlaib who is the first palestinian-american woman to serve in ngress. this all comes just weeks after aipac spent nearly $6 million in maryland to defeat former democratic congressmember donna edwards and her primary. other progressives who lost after being targeted by aipac include nina turner in michigan -- ohio and jessica cisneros in , texas. one prominent critic of aipac's actions has been peter beinart, editor-at-large of jewish currents. he recently appeared on democracy now! >> what this is really about is trying to create a whole new generation of younger democrats in congress who will tow the aipac line on israel-palestine, and often take a more pro-corporate position, and therefore blunt the trend we were seeing toward the democratic party moving in a more progressive direction. amy: we go now to michigan where we ar

but also this week we saw rashida tlaib, the brilliant congresswoman, make a really important interventionid that "the new york times" is killing trans people and should stop saying anything. "the new york times" accidentally ab ran one story a little while ago looking honestly at the transition. the congresswoman was like no, we've got to stop it. "new york times," you're killing people. i sit back and watch and think "the new york times" has become a transphobic greg, this thing must be nearing a conclusion. "new york times" has become a trans transphobic rag. >> greg: kat, i consider you a feminist. >> i don't hate myself. i don't hate myself because i'm a woman. i hate myself for other reasons. >> greg: i'm curious about pregnant man. who impregnates them? >> wasn't me. you're not getting me on that one. >> it's okay. i understand. well the penis havers. i'm not canceled. you say something reasonable like the penis haver impregnates the uterus haver. >> greg: that's exactly what you say. that's fantastic. >> i sure am. [applause] >> greg: i am most feel like sharing my award with you.

congresswomen alexandria ocasio-cortez, ayanna pressley, ilhan omar, jackie spear, cori bush, rashida tlaibrators in all who were starting to block traffic. >>> house lawmakers are set to vote on a bill to protect marriage equality, following the supreme court's overturning of federal abortion protections. lawmakers are anxious to codify same-sex marriage after justice clarence thomas suggested the court should revisit the 2015 ruling. jim obergefell is running for congress, hoping to represent his home state of ohio. jim, great to see you. thank you very much for being here. when roe v. wade was overturned, there were all sorts of americans who said uh-oh, what's going to turn to other civil rights like same-sex marriage, some people thought, well, you're just being alarmist, and then this week, senator ted cruz confirmed that, yes, he does think the supreme court should revisit all sorts of other cases, particularly same-sex marriage, obergefell case, as t called, here's what he said. >> obergefell like roe v. wade ignored two centuries of our nation's history. marriage was always an issu

you see aoc there, there was cori bush, rashida tlaib.hey're leaning into this including some of the political theater that you're seeing on the screen. >> and again, it is the issue that democrats feel is a winning one for them. there are a lot of things working against democrats going into the midterms, the economy, inflation, gas prices, joe biden's low approval ratings. but winning for the democrats is the fact that the supreme court overturned rights to abortion and we know that even creating federal protections polls pretty well. even republican voters think women should have a right to choose. especially because a lot of the new state limitations on abortion take away even the ability for doctors in cases of rape or incest or the health of the mother. so i think democrats see a winner here. and other rights issues. >> on the issue of the health of the mother, the laws do technically have exceptions for that, what we've seen over the last few weeks is the way in which the trickle-down effects of these restrictions have a chilling ef

others pursuit squad members ayanna pressley, ilhan omar, cori bush and rashida tlaib.rats are trying to highlight the job's decision earlier this year and convert that into an election year issue to accept the democratic base into the midterms. the house recently approved to abortion pills to try to stock democrats. one bel core device roe vs. wade into federal law. another will protect a woman's right to travel across state lines for abortions. all of that is an election issue too. democrats want to energize voters to elect more democrats to the senate to change the filibuster and implement their abortion policies. >> this wasn't the biggest protest on capitol hill. 2018, capitol police arrested nearly 600 people in the hearts and office building in a staggering 30,000 people in washington in 1971. protesting the vietnam war. shannon. >> shannon: thank you so much. packing tonight, u.s. capitol police say that nine late show staffers arrested for trespassing on capitol hill office building last month. the light that they were credentialled to be on the ground and conf

what they decide i noticed also some democratic lawmakers including alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaibis abortion rights protest happening in front of the supreme court. what happened? >> this demonstration came more than three weeks after roe v. wade was overturned. a group of lawmakers decided to march from the capitol to the supreme court, they were blocking the street, the united states capitol police said they gave three warnings before they started taking people into custody, but ultimately they did arrest 35 people, including 17 lawmakers. i want to read you a statement from one of them, this is from katherine kirk, a member of leadership. she tweet add picture with a statement that said the extremist republican party is determined to take us back in time and take away our rights. they can arrest me, but we won't allow them to arrest freedom. so democrats are really trying to use every opportunity they can to show they're fighting for abortion rights and to draw a contrast with republicans, but the reality is they are pretty limited in what they can do. the house passed a pair o

the chair now recognizes the gentlewoman, from michigan, my friend, miss rashida tlaib. >> thank youso much miss lopez for pointing that out. it is happening in my community. we are one country, one nation. i know that when some of our families are struggling to pay rent, it is especially increases. we see it over an over again because the threat of evicting people happens if they do not comply. changes are constantly done so many are families who are renting. it is a reality. these are not things that many of the folks and housing groups i work with are represented with buy in court with some of these challenges with folks not following through on their leases, or agreements. you know, the housing increases our second after gas prices. you cannot really address inflation without taking on the highways in crisis. by the way, the housing crisis existed prior to what we are dealing with right now with inflation. doctor raymond, is that not true? it's not true that the housing crisis, it has really impacted the cost of living for families prior to everything that the rhetoric coming out
