A recent attack ad against progressive Squad member Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) depicts her as a radical threat to Democrats’ agenda. As the ad pans over photos of pro-abortion rights protests, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and former President Donald Trump, a narrator warns, “Our rights are under attack, our democracy at risk, and in this moment, Representative Summer Lee is opposing President Biden.” The spot concludes with a plug for Bhavini Patel, a Pittsburgh-area council member challenging Lee as a moderate alternative. Ads like these, against progressive members of Congress like Lee, are standard fare in a Democratic primary. Except the donor behind these ads is Pennsylvania billionaire Jeffrey Yass, who is this cycle’s single largest donor to the Republican party and on the shortlist for Treasury Secretary in a second Trump White House. Yass has lavished more than $1.8 million on the super PAC behind the ads, Moderate PAC, making him the PAC’s single largest donor by far. At the same time he is paying for ads invoking the specter of Jan. 6, in other words, he is closely tied to the man who instigated it. “For me, it’s really the audacity,” Lee said in an interview. “They don’t support Biden. … Jeff Yass is supportive of an insurrectionist. For any candidate to use dollars coming from him to paint me as an extremist is really rich.” Yass made his fortune as an international stock trader, and, ProPublica reported, by assiduously structuring his wealth to avoid high taxes. His trading firm, Susquehanna International Group, is a major investor in TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance. Susquehanna was also the largest institutional investor in the shell company that took Trump’s social media company public, causing Trump’s net worth to skyrocket at a perilous moment for his personal finances. Yass was reportedly on the guest list for Trump’s high-dollar Palm Beach fundraiser that took place last week. His support for Patel fits a larger pattern of Republican dollars sneaking their way into this year’s Democratic primaries. Earlier this year, progressives accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee super PAC, which is nominally bipartisan, of laundering Republican billionaires’ money into Democratic primaries under the guise of supporting a moderate political agenda. Members of the Squad, the high-profile group of Black and brown progressives who have not only led calls for a cease-fire in the war on Gaza, but also pressed Democrats to expand the social safety net and raise taxes on the wealthy, are among the group’s prime targets. AIPAC spent roughly $4 million opposing Lee in her first election in 2022. And while they are sitting out her primary this year, having assessed her as too strong a candidate, Lee said Moderate PAC’s tactics are about the same. “This is my second cycle dealing with disinformation and contorting the facts,” she said. Answering charges that she is insufficiently supportive of Biden, her campaign notes she has hosted several Biden cabinet members and Vice President Kamala Harris in her district, and appeared at party-led rallies for abortion rights. “They’re using dog whistles ― this idea that a Black progressive woman is vaguely too extreme to represent you in Congress.” Moderate PAC launched in 2022 under Ty Strong, a former Booz Allen Hamilton analyst, who said the group would raise $20 million to protect moderate Democrats from progressive primary challengers. Yass, who gave $1 million in July, wound up being the group’s only donor in the 2022 midterms. When the group ran its first ads against Lee earlier this year, Lee turned Yass’ apparent support into a line of attack on Patel: “Her entire campaign is backed by Republicans, yet she says I’m not a good enough Democrat,” Lee said in a recent debate. At the time, Moderate PAC had not yet disclosed its donors. Strong took the opportunity to rebrand Moderate PAC not as Yass’ PAC but as a coalition of disgruntled Pittsburgh Democrats bent on ousting Lee. New campaign finance disclosures filed Wednesday, however, revealed that Yass donated $800,000 to Moderate PAC, or roughly four out of every five dollars the group raised to fight in Lee’s primary, in late February. The disclosure shatters several of Strong’s previous claims about Yass. In late March ― three weeks after Yass wrote a check ― Strong told The Washington Post that Yass was not behind the ads, instead citing two Pittsburgh developers, Todd Reidbord and Gregg Perelman, and the local chapter International Union of Operating Engineers. Last week, Strong admitted to Politico that Yass had made a sizable donation. But he claimed he approached Yass only after raising money among Lee’s constituents, and said people in Lee’s district would ultimately donate just as much as Yass. “He knew nothing about Summer,” Strong said. “And so it’s not Jeff Yass, it’s me and Pittsburgh who realized that this far-left member shouldn’t be representing a D-plus-eight district.” In fact, the PAC raised only $233,944 from sources other than Yass ― not even half of the $586,843 it has spent so far in Lee’s primary. Many of the Democratic donors he name-checked in previous weeks gave Moderate PAC $5,000 or less; Perelman, the developer, does not appear to have donated at all. Strong did not respond to a request for comment. Patel, whose campaign cannot coordinate with Moderate PAC, initially seized on the idea that Moderate PAC was funded by local Democrats. At a March 21 campaign event, Patel said it was “misinformation” to claim Yass was supporting her campaign. “[The Moderate PAC] was actually funded by labor unions, interestingly,” she said. “Operating engineers gave to it, several other labor unions gave to it, there are local residents in this district who have given to that PAC to run the ads that they’re running. Jeffrey Yass has not given money to that, I’ve not taken money from Jeffrey Yass.” In an interview this week, after Moderate PAC disclosed its donors, Patel said she agrees with Moderate PAC’s message that Lee is not sufficiently supportive of Biden. But she said she, like Lee, wishes Yass weren’t her supporter. “I’m a lifelong Democrat,” she said. “Framing the conversation on anything else deflects from my ability to talk about my opponent’s record.” Asked why she believes Yass is in her corner, she said she didn’t have an answer, and echoed what she said in that early April debate with Lee: “I denounce Donald Trump. I denounce Jeffery Yass.”

The calls to step down come from both the left and center—amplified by law professors, scholarly legal journals, and anti-Trump pundits—warning about the risks to the Supreme Court and the country if Justice Sonia Sotomayor isn’t replaced while there’s still a Democrat in the White House and a Senate in Democratic hands. She’s only 69, young by today’s standards, but the memory is still fresh of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lingering well into her eighties and then dying weeks before the 2016 election, opening the door for three Trump-appointed judges to complete the conservative super majority to overturn Roe. Sotomayor now faces the same decision that RBG faced: Permit a Democratic president and a Democratic Senate to confirm a successor who will hold the seat for decades—or roll the dice. RBG rolled the dice, and we all lost. For Sotomayor, the decision is even more stark than it was for RBG—precisely because she knows how RBG’s tragedy played out. Sotomayor was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was just 7 years old, and the Huffington Post earlier this year reported the justice requested that a medic accompany her on several recent trips. Several years ago, in 2018, Reuters reported that paramedics were called to Sotomayor’s home to revive her when her blood sugar fell. These are challenges for someone with lifelong diabetes, but they are not disqualifying. To publicly pressure a justice to retire is unseemly, but it’s not new. The progressive group Demand Justice sent a black and neon-green billboard truck driving around the Supreme Court building, declaring “Breyer, retire. It’s time for a Black woman Supreme Court justice.” Justice Stephen Breyer stepped aside at 83 in 2023 after former President Donald Trump left office, smoothing the way for President Joe Biden to fulfill his promise to nominate the first Black woman to the Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson. In reporting this piece, I heard a lot of wishful thinking. If Sotomayor were to step down, so the story goes, it would solve a lot of Biden’s problems. He could appoint Vice President Kamala Harris to fill her seat on the Supreme Court and name a running mate that voters would happily see as his heir apparent (hint: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer). Absent that turn of events, I place my trust in Sotomayor to be honest with herself and with the country about the state of her illness, which she has lived with for more than 60 years and knows better than anyone the toll it continues to take. Zack Ford, senior manager of press and editorial communications at Alliance for Justice (AFJ), a liberal advocacy group, told The Daily Beast that he’s seen an uptick in calls for Sotomayor to resign, which “speaks to how focused people are on the Court and how politicized it is.” AFJ does not take a position on individual retirements, and instead “stands by efforts to de-politicize the court through reforms like term limits, so it’s not left to chance who might be president if a justice has to leave for unplanned reasons.” The Court is intentionally opaque about much of what it does, so there are no regular health updates on justices with lifetime appointments. SCOTUS recently put out its first ethical guidelines, which Ford notes “are weaker than what’s in place in lower courts.” At a contentious panel early this year at the University of California Berkeley, which focused on the imbalance of the six to three conservative majority, Sotomayor confessed, “I live in frustration. Every loss truly traumatizes me in my stomach and in my heart. But I have to get up the next morning and keep on fighting.” She said she’s “tired” and “working harder than I ever had” because of the major cases the Court had taken on, a growing emergency calendar, and briefs from outside groups. She said the growing workload had encroached on the justices’ summer break, opening the door to speculation that she might want to duck out early rather than face years more under the thumb of an emboldened conservative majority. Simmering rumors burst open Saturday on CNN’s Smerconish, when law professor Paul Campos from the University of Colorado Boulder said the chance of Trump winning the presidency and/or Republicans winning control of the Senate “is so high that it just simply isn’t worth it to take that kind of a risk… It would really be in the public’s best interest for her (Sotomayor) to do a very statesmanlike thing and step down from the Court rather than running this risk, which would be a completely catastrophic development.” The decision is intensely personal, which for Sotomayor means being honest with herself about the course of her condition and how it might affect life expectancy. She has been on the Court for 15 years. As the Court’s first and only Latina, she doesn’t want to cut short her unique perspective to take one for the team. Asked about liberals calling on Sotomayor to retire, White House spokesman Andrew Bates told NBC News: “President Biden believes that decisions to retire from the Supreme Court should be made by the justices themselves and no one else.” While not joining calls for her to resign, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) told NBC, “Certainly I think if Justice Ginsburg had it to do over again, she might have rethought her confidence in her own health.” It’s a mirror image of what Biden faces in deciding to run again—despite 60 percent of Democrats saying that because of his age they want someone else. Once it became clear Biden wasn’t going to step aside, the negative voices quieted, just as they will do with Sotomayor once the window closes and it’s too close to the November election. Her dissents are the cutting edge of what progressives want, even as they are the loudest voices urging her to make way for a successor that Biden can name. RBG made a bet that she could last until Hillary Clinton was in the White House. Dems are making a bet that Biden can win. A Sotomayor resignation would give him more options, but it would also reveal how worried Democrats are over how much is on the line in this election. There should be better ways to fix the Court.
