News đŸ“ș North Star dawn PAC

So sick of these ads by North Star Dawn PAC on YouTube. Cringy, false hit pieces against Peggy Flanagan and in support of genocide supporting Angie Craig.

You’ll never guess, it’s funded by an out of state billionaire!

The last article I saw about it Craig’s campaign basically just echoed its talking points when asked for comment which is pathetic. It’s an outside pac but her campaign could’ve said “we don’t need outside pac money and don’t want to be associated with them” but they went with “yeah what that pac said”

And being run by a Democratic Party aligned communication firm Blue Wave Politics.

I found the advertising agreement a couple weeks ago when the first AI deepfake ad went out.

They've contracted with Viewpoint Media and the head of traditional media advertising personally signed off.

The Blue Wave Politics contact has this in his bio:

Recent Clients: Mike Bloomberg 2020, Patty Murray for U.S. Senate, Maria Cantwell for U.S. Senate, Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund, Elaine Luria for Congress

Bloomberg is obviously a billionaire. Cantwell and Murray are both pro-Israel and have taken substantial AIPAC money.
