President Joe Biden’s campaign co-chair Veronica Escobar claimed during a Tuesday interview that voters who believe they were better off under former President Donald Trump had “amnesia.” Escobar spoke with CNN’s Manu Raja ahead of Thursday’s debate between Biden and Trump, and she said that it concerned her that when Biden and other campaign surrogates laid out a list of the things he has accomplished in office, it still did not seem to be resonating with voters.

Federal COVID-19 funds were used to support the screening of an anti-Israel film, according to Somerville for Palestine, a leftwing activist group that co-hosted the event. In an advertisement for a Wednesday screening of “Israelism” in Somerville, Massachusetts, the group claimed it was “funded in part by an American Rescue Plan Act grant from the City of Somerville.” The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), signed by President Joe Biden in 2021, allocated $1.9 trillion to combat the impacts of COVID.  Somerville for Palestine’s advertisement for its screening of “Israelism.” (Photo: Instagram @SomervilleforPalestine) The post encouraged attendees to wear a mask to the event, which is typical for the meetings advertised on the group’s Instagram page, even though all mask mandates were lifted two years ago. Somerville Nonprofits that receive up to $25,000 in ARPA funding may use it for payroll, mortgages, rent, other operating expenses, and costs associated with the mitigation or prevention of COVID-19, according to the city’s website.  The guidelines specify that funds cannot be used for “direct financing of political activities” and cannot be allocated to “political organizations.” The funding is “intended to enhance or expand services to Somerville constituents in response to COVID-19 and assist nonprofits in adjusting to the direct and indirect challenges resulting from the pandemic.” Photo of a recent Somerville for Palestine meeting where every attendee is wearing a medical mask. (Photo: Instagram @SommervilleforPalestine) A spokeswoman for the City of Somerville said that they requested the organizers remove city logos from the event’s promotional materials because the city was not involved with the event, though it did provide funding to a group that co-hosted the screening. “The City did award a general ARPA grant to the nonprofit host to help maintain their facilities and reduce rental fees for their facility as part of post-COVID support so that the community could resume gathering for arts, culture, and other community events held in the space,” the spokeswoman said. “We are not involved in the selection of events to host in the facility.” “It is correct for the nonprofit to cite general support for the organization as a whole,” she added. “It is not accurate for an individual event host using the nonprofit’s space, or for the nonprofit hosting them, to imply that the City is a supporter or co-host of the event.” All funds must be obligated by the end of 2024 and fully spent by the end of 2026. The city has so far received $77,504,170 in ARPA funding to allocate. Released in 2023, “Israelism” follows the journey of two young Jews becoming anti-Israel.
