The Crucible is the final 54-hour test for the recruits, where upon completion the recruits will receive their eagle, globe, and anchor pin to officially become US Marines. Recruits had to spend two weeks in quarantine before beginning training due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Congress ordered the Marine Corps to fully integrate women into its west coast training battalions by 2028 under the National Defense Authorization Act. Women make up about 9 percent of the Marine Corps.",

AIPAC had also \u003ca href=\"https://punchbowl.news/article/senate/aipac-ad-sanders-block-israel-arms/\">worked to denounce that bid\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Araabi calls the post-election landscape “a dark moment” for activists like him, and sees the financial might of AIPAC as “a smaller part of a larger phenomenon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anti-cease-fire or pro-militarism candidates have access to a lot of money and resources because they have the backing of powerful corporate interests and things that benefit from the ongoing wars,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Araabi, the question now is how pro-Palestinian advocates can mobilize that “broad popular support” that’s shown among many voters — and “inform the citizenry of what's going on here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they know, I feel like they vote accordingly,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In August, another pro-Palestinian progressive, Missouri Rep.

According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.opensecrets.org/\">nonpartisan political finance tracker Open Secrets\u003c/a>, the United Democracy Project increased its spending this election cycle by over $11 million, for \u003ca href=\"https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/detail/2024?cmte=C00799031&tab=targeted_candidates\">a total of $37 million\u003c/a> to target candidates in the 2024 election compared to the $26 million spent in \u003ca href=\"https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/detail/2022?cmte=C00799031&tab=targeted_candidates\">2022\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this financial tracking also shows that AIPAC’s money has been flowing in California too — worrying pro-Palestinian advocates in the state who’ve spent over a year protesting \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/gaza\">Israel’s ongoing siege of Gaza\u003c/a> that has killed \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-mourns-children-killed-israeli-strike-death-toll-rises-2024-11-09/\">tens of thousands of Palestinians\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrw.org/report/2024/11/14/hopeless-starving-and-besieged/israels-forced-displacement-palestinians-gaza\">displaced almost the entire population\u003c/a> — actions that a United Nations report says are “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/11/un-special-committee-finds-israels-warfare-methods-gaza-consistent-genocide\">consistent with genocide\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where was AIPAC money spent in California this election?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>AIPAC, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/modern-american-history/article/edge-of-the-abyss-the-origins-of-the-israel-lobby-19491954/E1690BDB5CA87C66B2B65D12CA1D716A\">first founded as a lobby group in the 1950s\u003c/a>, has only begun to \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/20/pro-israel-groups-gaza-us-elections\">actively participate in congressional campaigns\u003c/a> relatively recently with \u003ca href=\"https://jewishcurrents.org/aipac-spent-big-to-defeat-progressives-this-election-cycle\">AIPAC’s PAC and the United Democracy Project super PAC\u003c/a> in 2021.

But “what we have on our side is broad popular support,” he said. \u003ca href=\"https://news.gallup.com/poll/646955/disapproval-israeli-action-gaza-eases-slightly.aspx\">Seventy-seven percent of Democrat voters\u003c/a> disapprove of Israel’s military action in Gaza, according to a Gallup poll this summer, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011429/these-gen-z-voters-are-choosing-kamala-harris-but-gaza-is-still-a-sticking-point\">some young voters\u003c/a> have cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12014032/dispirited-and-humbled-the-conspicuous-absence-of-bay-area-protests-after-trumps-win\">U.S. support of Israel’s military\u003c/a> to explain their \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2024/11/06/dearborn-michigan-rashida-tlaib-kamala-harris-gaza/\">lack of enthusiasm\u003c/a> about this year’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of AIPAC-level funding, AROC Action’s focus is on effecting change at the local level, said Araabi. The group endorsed \u003ca href=\"https://arocaction.org/endorsements/\">Lateefah Simon\u003c/a>, who has made several public statements on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/california/congress-12th-district\">decreasing a global military budget\u003c/a> and went on to win a congressional seat in District 12, which includes Oakland. According to Open Secrets, the United Democracy Project super PAC did not spend money against Simon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am very clear that when I go into the halls of Congress, that we keep the value of peace central,” Simon told her supporters in her election night victory speech. “That we will never, ever support endless wars that kill children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But progressives like Simon will be serving under a second Trump administration — which may crack down \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/27/trump-israel-gaza-policy-donors/\">on the pro-Palestinian movement\u003c/a> in the United States given \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/26/nx-s1-5050867/the-political-implications-of-netanyahus-meeting-with-trump\">Trump’s own connections with Netanyahu\u003c/a>. Many advocates are especially concerned about \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2024/11/15/nonprofits-trump-bill-gop-republicans/\">bills like HR 9495\u003c/a>, which would allow the federal government to designate \u003ca href=\"https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/2022-National-Terrorist-Financing-Risk-Assessment.pdf\">some nonprofit organizations\u003c/a> as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/9495\">terrorist supporting organizations\u003c/a>” and strip them of their tax-exempt status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval, which would have \u003ca href=\"https://www.fcnl.org/updates/2024-11/understanding-joint-resolutions-disapproval-arms-sales-israel\">blocked the sales of weapons\u003c/a> to the Israeli military, failed to pass.

He is the first convicted felon to win the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans say Trump won the election for one simple reason. Voters felt that they were better off four years ago than they were today. “Voters have really short memories,” said Alex Conant, a Republican strategist who helped lead Senator Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign in 2016. “And while I think everyone is appalled by what happened on January 6, they’re also appalled by what they have to pay for eggs today.

He also vastly outraised his Republican opponent in this year’s election, a political newcomer with little experience raising campaign dollars. The 75-year-old Garvey never really got any momentum against Schiff, whose national profile rose during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial and the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schiff actually won two elections Tuesday — one to fill out the remaining months of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein’s term, the other for a full six-year term beginning in January 2025. The outcome means that after having two women representing California in the U.S. Senate for decades, the state will have two male senators for the first time since 1992, with Schiff joining fellow Democrat Alex Padilla in the upper chamber of Congress.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012822/california-prop-roundup-heres-what-passed-and-what-got-rejected\">\u003cb>Some California Propositions Decided On Election Night\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California voters are deciding the outcome of 10 state propositions, including measures that deal with criminal justice, rent control, the minimum wage and investments in schools and climate resilience.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With more than 9 million votes counted Wednesday morning — marking roughly 48% of total ballots cast — three measures had earned enough support to be declared winners by the Associated Press.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the winners is \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012656/proposition-36-californias-newest-tough-on-crime-measure-appears-headed-for-victory\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a measure toughening criminal penalties\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for some nonviolent crimes. Proposition 36 will reverse key parts of a decade-old voter initiative that reduced penalties for drug possession and low-level thefts and diverted thousands of people from prison. Proposition 36 came largely in response to concerns over retail theft and the fentanyl crisis, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to convince Californians the problems could be handled without rolling back Proposition 47, the 2014 law.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A constitutional amendment to protect the right of same-sex couples to marry also succeeded.

He also vastly outraised his Republican opponent in this year’s election, a political newcomer with little experience raising campaign dollars. The 75-year-old Garvey never really got any momentum against Schiff, whose national profile rose during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial and the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schiff actually won two elections Tuesday — one to fill out the remaining months of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein’s term, the other for a full six-year term beginning in January 2025. The outcome means that after having two women representing California in the U.S. Senate for decades, the state will have two male senators for the first time since 1992, with Schiff joining fellow Democrat Alex Padilla in the upper chamber of Congress.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012822/california-prop-roundup-heres-what-passed-and-what-got-rejected\">\u003cb>Some California Propositions Decided On Election Night\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California voters are deciding the outcome of 10 state propositions, including measures that deal with criminal justice, rent control, the minimum wage and investments in schools and climate resilience.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With more than 9 million votes counted Wednesday morning — marking roughly 48% of total ballots cast — three measures had earned enough support to be declared winners by the Associated Press.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the winners is \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012656/proposition-36-californias-newest-tough-on-crime-measure-appears-headed-for-victory\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a measure toughening criminal penalties\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for some nonviolent crimes. Proposition 36 will reverse key parts of a decade-old voter initiative that reduced penalties for drug possession and low-level thefts and diverted thousands of people from prison. Proposition 36 came largely in response to concerns over retail theft and the fentanyl crisis, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to convince Californians the problems could be handled without rolling back Proposition 47, the 2014 law.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A constitutional amendment to protect the right of same-sex couples to marry also succeeded.
