Influence Briefings / Money Ledger

Track the money. Separate proof from fog.

RTR briefings track foreign influence through public records: FEC filings, independent expenditures, lobbying disclosures, nonprofit financials, donor records, and sourced reporting. The current priority is Israel-aligned political pressure because the money trail and candidate-discipline machine are visible in U.S. elections.

Money channel

Direct PAC contribution, super PAC independent expenditure, lobbying spend, nonprofit grant, or public pressure campaign.

Political target

Candidate, committee, race, bill, agency, state, issue area, or platform policy being pushed.

Pressure map

Israel-aligned pressure is tracked first, while other foreign influence networks get added when the public record supports the claim.

Congress Pro-Israel Lobby Tracker

Member-by-member pro-Israel lobby money.

The ledger imports Track AIPAC's sitting-member records and uses the full Track AIPAC methodology: all pro-Israel PACs and large donors, with PAC money, independent expenditures, named organizations, and rows the source marks as rejecting AIPAC.

ConfirmedPreserve America PAC / Trump-aligned outside spending

Miriam Adelson

Israeli-American billionaire and pro-Israel megadonor

$95M-$100M reported in 2024 cycle

tracked money channel

Miriam Adelson is an Israeli-American billionaire, physician, casino heir, and one of the largest pro-Israel donors in U.S. politics. Major outlets reported that she gave roughly $95 million to Preserve America PAC in Q3 2024, with other reporting describing a $100 million pro-Trump commitment.

Her political giving is a direct case study in how a donor with explicit Israel-policy interests can pour nine figures into U.S. presidential politics.

Alleged / disputedAlleged AIPAC pledge from leaked/internal donor material

Leonid Radvinsky / OnlyFans ownership

OnlyFans majority-owner donor allegation tied to AIPAC documents

$11M alleged pledge

tracked money channel

Reports based on leaked AIPAC donor material alleged that OnlyFans majority owner Leonid Radvinsky and his wife pledged $11 million to AIPAC. Radvinsky denied making or pledging the donation, so the tracker should mark this as an alleged and disputed pledge unless confirmed by public filings or primary documents.

The claim matters because it links a major consumer platform's ownership wealth to alleged pro-Israel political funding, but it must be handled with the dispute and evidentiary limits visible.

Media / Hasbara / Influencer Track

Track the narrative machine, not just campaign checks.

Israel-aligned pressure does not stop at Congress. RTR tracks the public-diplomacy budget, foreign press operations, influencer tours, platform pressure, outlet access, and high-reach American personalities who move Israel-first narratives through U.S. politics.

Budget escalation documentedState-backed public diplomacy and narrative warfare

Israeli state hasbara budget and command structure

$150M public-diplomacy budget reported for 2025; NIS 2.35B advocacy budget reported for 2026

Israel is not relying only on organic support. Reporting and official statements show a large state-backed public diplomacy buildout aimed at foreign press, campuses, social media, influencers, civil-society groups, elected officials, and public opinion leaders. The report should track hasbara as an organized foreign narrative operation with budgets, contractors, campaign outputs, trips, and target audiences.

Pressure Channels

  • Foreign press briefings, interviews, and story placement
  • Paid and coordinated social media campaigns
  • Influencer meetings, delegations, and content tours
  • Campus-focused messaging and anti-Israel label campaigns
  • Civil-society partner organizations and allied advocacy groups

Israeli Foreign Ministry / Gideon Sa'ar

Budget owner and public diplomacy strategist

Jewish Insider reported a roughly $150M 2025 public-diplomacy budget, described as more than 20 times the pre-war level.

National Public Diplomacy Directorate

War-time global media command center

Official reporting described 1,500 studio interviews, 1,300 briefings, 200 campaigns, and 2B hits for Israeli messages worldwide.

Open investigation trackForeign-state narrative management aimed at U.S. and Western media

Mainstream media narrative pressure

Official Israeli public diplomacy reporting describes thousands of foreign-journalist interactions, hundreds of campaigns, and targeted work with leading U.S. and European outlets.

The media track should map how Israel-aligned influence shapes what Americans see: official source pipelines, embedded/tour access, coordinated briefings, advertiser and donor pressure, think-tank experts, pro-Israel advocacy groups, and platform moderation pressure. The claim should be built outlet by outlet and executive by executive instead of treated as an unsourced blanket statement.

Pressure Channels

  • Access journalism and guided foreign press tours
  • Official briefings, spokespeople, and studio interview production
  • Think-tank and advocacy experts presented as neutral analysts
  • Pressure campaigns against hosts, guests, and outlets critical of Israel
  • Social media amplification and advertiser/donor pressure around coverage

U.S. and European leading outlets

Coverage target

Israel's public diplomacy directorate said it worked with leading print and broadcast media to strengthen the Israeli narrative and moderate critical reports.

Foreign journalists in Israel

Access and briefing channel

Official reporting counted more than 4,000 foreign journalist visits during the war, including 824 from the United States.

Influencer tours near Gaza

Starter watchlistU.S. media personalities advancing Israel-aligned narratives

Pro-Zionist influencer watchlist

Track reach, platform, funding relationships, Israel trips, paid partnerships, government access, and pressure campaigns against anti-intervention voices.

This watchlist tracks pundits and influencers who push pro-Israel or anti-anti-Zionist narratives into American conservative media. The first pass should rank reach and narrative function, then add funding, trips, sponsors, organizational relationships, and campaign-finance ties when public records support them.

Pressure Channels

  • Podcasts, streaming shows, cable news hits, and short-form clips
  • Labeling anti-Zionism or Israel criticism as antisemitism
  • Defending U.S. aid, military action, sanctions, or censorship in Israel's interest
  • Attacking America First figures who oppose Israel aid or war policy
  • Participating in Israel trips, briefings, or government-adjacent media events

Ben Shapiro / The Daily Wire

High-reach pro-Israel conservative media platform

Daily Wire coverage quotes Shapiro saying anti-Zionism is a cover story for Jew hatred and defending Israel's existence as central to his argument.

Dan Bongino

Pro-Israel conservative broadcaster and former federal official

JNS reported Bongino defending support for Israel and denying a $6M AIPAC claim; Forward reported he has made numerous trips to Israel.

Laura Loomer

Trump-world influencer with shifting Israel/aid positioning

War Room published Loomer arguing America First means cutting Israel aid and forcing Israeli sovereignty; keep her on the watchlist because she is an access point into Trump-world media and Israel-policy fights.

Documented for Meta; TikTok personnel and ownership track openedSocial media suppression track

Platform censorship and algorithm pressure

HRW documented systemic Meta censorship of Palestine content; TikTok's U.S. divestiture followed political pressure tied partly to pro-Palestinian content visibility.

This track follows how Israel-aligned pressure moves from government and lobby complaints into platform rules, recommendation systems, takedown pipelines, personnel decisions, and ownership changes. Meta has documented suppression patterns around Palestine content. TikTok's file now includes the U.S. sale, Oracle/Ellison's pro-Israel posture, lawmakers linking TikTok pressure to pro-Palestinian visibility, and the hiring of former IDF instructor Erica Mindel into hate-speech public policy.

Pressure Channels

  • Government and lobby takedown requests
  • Platform policy changes around Zionism, antisemitism, and hate speech
  • Shadow banning, recommendation suppression, account restrictions, and demonetization
  • Forced ownership changes or national-security pressure aimed at speech control
  • Hiring and policy teams with Israel-defense or national-security backgrounds

Meta / Instagram / Facebook

Documented Palestine-content suppression

Human Rights Watch identified recurring patterns including removals, account disabling, engagement restrictions, feature limits, and shadow banning of Palestine-related content.

Israeli government takedown pressure

Government-to-platform removal pipeline

Reporting based on internal Meta data alleged Israel became the leading source of takedown requests after Oct. 7 and that Meta complied with 94% of those requests.

TikTok U.S. ownership shift

Forced divestiture after pro-Palestinian content panic

The U.S. TikTok venture was sold to a consortium including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. Axios reported Mitt Romney linked TikTok-ban support to the volume of Palestinian mentions and Israel's poor PR on the platform.

Erica Mindel / TikTok hate-speech policy

Former IDF instructor hired into hate-speech policy role

Jerusalem Post reported TikTok hired Mindel as Public Policy Manager, Hate Speech, and that her role includes driving hate-speech positions, long-term policy strategy, monitoring online content, and serving as a subject-matter expert on antisemitism and hate speech.

Oracle / Larry Ellison

TikTok U.S. infrastructure and investor influence

Oracle is a main TikTok U.S. investor and infrastructure partner; Ellison's pro-Israel posture and FIDF support are part of the ownership-risk file.

Primary Election Case Files

Watch where AIPAC-aligned pressure moves next.

These case files separate completed primaries from upcoming races, then track direct campaign money, outside spending, candidate positions, and the donor networks behind the pressure.

Completed primaryMay 19, 2026

Kentucky 4th District Republican primary: Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallrein

$25.6M+ in ad spending; record U.S. House primary spending reported

Massie's defeat is the current model case for how pro-Israel money and Trump-aligned pressure can nationalize a district primary. AP reported that Massie referenced millions poured into the race by pro-Israel groups, including the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund. Axios reported more than $25.6 million in ad spending and described the race as the most expensive U.S. House primary in history.

Thomas Massie

Incumbent Republican; critic of Israel aid and foreign aid

$10.7M supporting side reported by Axios

Massie lost after being outgunned by pro-Gallrein spending and Trump pressure.

Ed Gallrein

Trump-backed challenger

$14.3M supporting side reported by Axios

Pro-Israel outside groups helped shape the race against Massie.

What To Track Next

  • Pull final FEC independent expenditure records for RJC Victory Fund and other pro-Israel spenders.
  • Rank donors behind outside groups and compare them to AIPAC/UDP donor networks.
  • Track whether other Republicans change Israel-aid votes after the Massie example.
Upcoming primaryAugust 18, 2026

Florida 6th District Republican primary: Randy Fine vs. Dan Bilzerian

Fine reported $3.7M raised through Mar. 31, 2026; Bilzerian filed in April and has no FEC financial summary yet

FL-6 is a live watchlist race because Bilzerian filed to challenge Fine directly over foreign aid, AIPAC, and Israel-first politics. Fine is the incumbent and a high-profile pro-Israel Republican. The race is a useful test case for whether America First voters can beat an Israel-aligned incumbent with donor networks, pro-Israel credentials, and institutional party support.

Randy Fine

Incumbent Republican; high-profile pro-Israel officeholder

$3,719,022.46 total receipts through Mar. 31, 2026

FEC reports $2.55M total contributions, $2.15M individual contributions, $396.9K from other committees, and $950K in candidate loans through the same period.

Dan Bilzerian

FEC candidate ID H6FL06415; Bilzerian for Congress C00946582; Bilzerian Victory Fund C00947002; DANPAC C00946988.

What To Track Next

  • Subscribe/check FEC for Bilzerian for Congress, Bilzerian Victory Fund, DANPAC, and Randy Fine for Congress.
  • When Bilzerian's first report lands, separate self-funding, small-dollar donors, maxed-out donors, and PAC money.
  • For Fine, export itemized receipts and rank AIPAC PAC, pro-Israel PACs, AIPAC-linked donors, and out-of-state donors.
  • Track outside spending for both support and opposition once independent expenditures begin.
  • Do not repeat campaign language that attacks Jews as a group; keep the report aimed at Zionist-aligned political money and foreign-policy capture.

Reporting Notes

  • PAC contributions, independent expenditures, lobbying, and nonprofit pressure are separate influence channels and should be ranked separately.
  • Foreign-source claims require transaction-level proof; Israel-aligned political pressure can still be tracked through U.S. PACs, donors, lobbyists, and advocacy groups.
  • Rank recipients by FEC committee data, state, party, office, and election cycle.

Reporting Notes

  • Super PAC spending is the main pressure channel here: ads can punish opponents or rescue allies without appearing as direct candidate donations.
  • Refresh the figures against final FEC/OpenSecrets totals before publication as a final report.
  • Separate support spending, opposition spending, and direct donations so the pressure mechanism is visible.

ADL should be tracked as an Israel-advocacy pressure organization with a U.S. nonprofit legal structure.

Anti-Israel and anti-Zionist critics

Public labeling and behind-the-scenes pressure

Guardian reporting and Greenblatt's own remarks show ADL places anti-Zionist activism inside its antisemitism framework; Mediaite reported Greenblatt saying ADL works quietly behind the scenes and helps political allies take down named critics of Israel.

Reporting Notes

  • Do not soften the political role: ADL is a major pro-Israel pressure organization in American public life.
  • Separate legal structure from political behavior: ADL is organized as a U.S. nonprofit, but its Israel-first advocacy, pressure campaigns, and anti-Zionism/antisemitism labeling strategy belong in the ledger.
  • Track lobbying, platform pressure, campus policy, law-enforcement partnerships, anti-BDS activity, public labeling campaigns, and donor opacity separately.
  • Donor opacity is itself a reportable political fact; pair it with lobbying records, executive statements, and campaign activity.
