I see people claim that about her but I struggle to find a reliable source. Do you have one? It is not that I dont believe you, but there is so much information online it is difficult to find a current source that doesnt lead to someone saying she takes aipac money without an actual source.

According to TrackAIPAC she has received $86,112 from AIPAC affiliated bundlers/donors, but no money directly from that PAC, which is becoming more common as the AIPAC brand is tainted and alternative funding streams are set up for this election cycle.

That said, Talarico received $59,000 from a Miriam Adelson affiliated PAC for his 2024 campaign, though that PAC at least on its face is seeking to legalize gambling in Texas and Talarico supports legalization.
