The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (for whose fundraisers Pelosi speaks) received another donation from Russian oligarch Blavatnik in June.

Blavatnik has also donated to Trump's legal defense fund & Republican leaders like McConnell and Graham, per @moscow_project.
2/ "Special counsel Mueller “should absolutely look into this because these people have a track record of very close relationships with the Kremlin... There is now overwhelming evidence that Putin has run a multilayered, sophisticated campaign...”

3/ "Schiff said he has not reached any firm conclusions, but his committee will be looking closely at every facet of the Russian influence effort, including political donations from billionaires with lasting ties inside Russia."

Per the FEC website, Blavatnik's wife Emily donated a matching amount to the DCCC just this past June. That's almost a quarter million dollars from an oligarch reportedly from Putin's inner circle. See above.
Blavatnik's relationship with Deripaska per the @nytimes:
This source indicates that Blavatnik was still Deripaska's business partner as recently as April, 2019:
Here, "Congressional investigators" are reportedly looking into Deripaska's associates as of July, 2019. Blavatnik has U.K.and U.S. citizenship. But if Congresspeople are receiving hundreds of thousands in donations, this is fox and henhouse!

Blavatnik's reportedly received millions in government contracts:
More background on Russian oligarch Blavatnik (thread above):
More background on donations from Russian oligarch Blavatnik, this one focusing on the Republicans. See thread above for more on both parties.

Finally, here's a @haaretzcom article tying Blavatnik to Netanyahu. This is the end of a thread where I theorized that Democrats' attempts to keep pro-Israel billionaires from switching to the GOP are interfering with impeachment.

Here's the beginning to the aforementioned thread, which now needs to be updated to include Russian oligarch Blavatnik:
FYI! Check out @gaslitnation's episodes with @craigunger, as apparently there's some duplication of effort with respect to background (reporting, in his case) on Blavatnik's donations:
The information about the nearly $250 million donation from one of Putin's oligarchs to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee wasn't available at airtime:


The donations pose serious concerns; we must have full transparency going forward.

"Blavatnik is precisely what the Kleptocracy Initiative is fighting against — the influence of Putin’s oligarchs on America’s political system and society — and the importation of corrupt Russian business practices and values."
Correction: nearly $250,000, not million.

Thank you for catching that.
Pelosi must forfeit the donations and resign immediately. We need full transparency going forward and public impeachment hearings on #TrumpRussia beginning THIS WEEK.

One of the most common assumptions I see is that Democrats want to win the next election. The actions of some Democrats do not support that conclusion.

Consider:
1/
If you were an actor or politician and someone offered you tons of money to help big donors and/or the GOP, would you do it? Would you think about it?
2/ ImageImageImageImage
Could you even be persuaded to pledge your allegiance to a foreign government at the expense of the U.S. Capitol?

DO NOT CUT MEDICARE, @JoeBiden, end the filibuster and make #MedicareForAll happen if you truly want to be thought of as a modern-day FDR instead of a guy who took us further backward by cutting healthcare during a pandemic.
Joe Biden is no FDR. What an evil, scummy thing to do to the American people, especially during a pandemic. Massive cuts to Medicare because Democrats won't end the filibuster? Cuts to farm aid? With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

"The money is right there. It’s spent on bombs instead of homes. On cops instead of kids. On bailing out banks instead of families. Again the only argument against helping people is a lie." - @JoshuaPotash

Democrats have a majority, but Biden's cutting MEDICARE and FARM AID because of... Republicans? FUCK THAT! End the filibuster, you gormless <descending into incoherent and very unflattering mumbling> @SenateDems!
How dare they cut already sparse benefits from some of the most vulnerable people, especially during a pandemic! How dare they shrug away the mantle of a people's majority and pretend it's due to the Republicans' corruption instead of
their own greed and elitism. It's time to move forward and join other first world countries. It's time for #MedicareForAll.

"You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence."
"They don't give a shit what he does. He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period."
"He absolutely realizes that and plays it up, they love it, he knows they love it, and the fact that people act like it's anything other than that just proves that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around."

The U.S. needs a children's vote on issues relevant to them.
1/
Why? Because they're humans too, and they possess the wisdom of innocence from which we could become a kinder, safer, wiser nation. Their voices should be heard, and right now they're not.
2/
A children's vote would also educate upcoming generations on the basics of good citizenship in a representative democracy. They would practice these basics such that once they become adults, they will understand and better perform their roles as citizens.

And vote.
