A network of far-left political action committees (PACs) is working with Islamic groups to advance radical anti-American candidates into state legislature, Congress and the Senate.

This network is made up of the DSA and far-left labor groups alongside Islamic groups with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Orchestrated by Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)-affiliated political strategist, Linda Sarsour, the network promotes: open borders, abolishing the police and prisons, shutting down the Senate and seeks to “bring down the U.S. empire.”

CAIR and its network of affiliated PACs and nonprofits sit at the heart of the political machinery examined in this report. The organization has been designated a terrorist organization by Texas and targeted for similar designation in Florida, amid longstanding allegations of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The network scapegoats the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as a way to distract voters while it pushes through its anti-American agenda. It took advantage of and even fomented changing public sentiment towards Israel to advance its primary agenda of transforming the Democratic Party.

2026 mid-term spending focused on races in Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, North Carolina, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Florida and Maine.

It supports candidates including Abdul El-Sayed, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, Adam Hamawy, Melat Kiros, Chris Rabb, Donavan McKinney and Randy Villegas.
