Due to current events, it's a good time to remember...

Ilhan Omar's father received his military officer training in Soviet Russia.

1/ Ilhan Omar's father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was a high ranking officer in President Siad Barre's BRUTAL regime in Somalia.

Somalia was allied w/the Soviets for the early part of Nur's military career and Nur completed his military officer education in Soviet Russia.

How do you know if something is an op?

Some people are naturally better than others at determining whether something is grassroots or astroturf.

But there ARE telltale signs that things might be less organic than they seem.

👇 Here's a series of tests to help figure it out! 👇 1. Coordination

🔲Are many "unaffiliated" people suddenly saying the same thing "independently" of each other?

🔲Are unrelated groups suddenly in total agreement on what the specific goal is?

🔲And do they also act as though there is only one way to achieve that goal?

Only ONE bill written by any member of The Squad has actually become law👇

In their most recent elections, AOC took in more than twice as much money as Joe Manchin did.

•AOC 2020: $21mil
•Manchin 2018: $9.5mil

Only $300k of Manchin's donations came from untraceable small dollar donations.

$16.4mil of AOC's fundraising was untraceable. "But Liz" I hear you saying, "Manchin is bought & paid for by Fossil Fuels. AOC gets small donations!"

People don't seem to realize that campaigns have STRICT contribution limits.

•PACs can donate $5k/yr
•Individuals can donate $2900/election
•Corporations cannot donate

A few months ago, Sunrise Movement's national account tweeted out some "educational" resources about the fundamentals of Israel-Palestine.

So, I clicked on those links because I wanted to see exactly what messaging Sunrise was pushing to their teenage supporters.

It's bad.

1/ 2/
This is the where the first link in Sunrise's tweet takes you.

"introduction:

Palestine is a country...being occupied by the state of Israel, a Jewish ethnostate established by Zionists in 1948".

No wonder these kids no nothing about what's actually happening.

Don't forget that AOC sells an entire line of merch that says:

💢 Tax the Rich 💢 Each item purchased is considered a campaign contribution.

I still can't figure out how this works with FEC regulations.

Justice Democrats have effectively manipulated their supporters into lobbying for Hamas.

They lie about Israel being an aggressor & rarely acknowledge Hamas.

When they do, it's to morally equate the actions of Hamas & Israel.

And well, Max would be totally friends w/Hamas.

1/ The Far Left continues to whitewash Hamas: the terrorist group that controls the Palestinian gov't.

Hamas is clear- they don't want peace; they want to obliterate Israel.

Here are 29 examples of Hamas' true goals from their official mission statement 🧵

(Didn't want to bury this lede in my other thread)

Charles Dunlop, CEO of Ambry Genetics, donated *$500K* to the JusticeDems' SuperPAC in 2020.
He also donated to AOC, Tulsi, Nina, etc.

I finally looked at his pre-2019 contributions:

👉Dana Rohrabacher👈
In 2016, '17, & '18 😳 He was donating to Tulsi Gabbard and Dana Rohrabacher at the same time in 2017!

He started contributing to AOC & the JusticeDems only a few months after his last contribution to Rohrabacher (which was on 2/14/2018).

AOC spent $240,000 on Facebook ads in March 2021.

But what were those ads actually advertising?

Where was she running them?

Who was she targeting?

Is she still spending $10k/day on Facebook ads?

Let's find out! Facebook banned political ads immediately following Election Day 2020, but eventually lifted the ban on March 4, 2021.

Google also lifted their ban on political ads that followed 1/6.

AOC jumped right back into spending big on them...20 months ahead of her next election.

AOC took in more money in the 2020 election cycle than Joe Crowley did in his entire 21-year congressional career. Only *4* Reps out-raised AOC in 2020.

•Steve Scalise
•Kevin McCarthy
•Nancy Pelosi
•Devin Nunes
•AOC

AOC is still using a Brex credit card for a lot of campaign expenditures.

And instead of calling it "Brex" in her accounting system, the campaign calls it "VEYOND!", its long defunct name.

This obscures the *actual* vendors & makes it much harder to see where $ is being spent. Let's take a look at AOC's 3/25/21 payment to Brex CC🔎

The details are on p.3982 (of 4008) of her Q1 filing if you want to play along at home!

What do you know?! It's mostly obscuring payments to FACEBOOK, just like last time.

*$240k out of $260k*

I think even a lot of people who are tuned-in to Justice Democrats' antics don't realize this:

🔥The Justice Dems became a SuperPAC on May 1, 2020🔥 And if you're thinking
"I thought the Justice Democrats hated SuperPACs? 🤔"

You are correct. They are hypocrites.

(And the first time they tried to turn JusticeDems into a SuperPAC was on 1/9/2017)

Bernie & Manchin have only cast opposing votes 13% of the time so far this term. But it was closer to 50% over the last few years.

Let's go back & look at some times where Bernie went rogue & voted NO when the Democratic Party voted YES!

(These are just a handful of examples) Bernie was one of 2 Senators (along with Rand Paul) to vote against Iranian & Russian sanctions in 2017.

Nina Turner is still claiming to have $15K - $50k of student loans in 2021, while pushing for student loan debt to be erased.

This is her Financial Disclosure Report as a 2022 Congressional Candidate. Almost all of the Justice Dems still claim to have large amounts of student loans in 2021.

Ro Khanna: $15k - $50k
Rashida Tlaib: $50k - $100k

Sunrise Movement has been getting a lot of attention in the last few days.

Just a reminder that in addition to everything else problematic about their organization, they have structured themselves to be the exact types of money they proclaim to hate:

💰 dark money
💰 SuperPAC Sunrise's organizational status is a 501c4 nonprofit, which is what the term "dark money" almost always refers to in politics!

501c4 nonprofits...
▪️can take unlimited money from individuals, LLC's, etc
▪️can have political goals
▪️do not have to report their donors

Here's a new thing the Justice Dems have started doing recently:

They've been creating & promoting these highly specific websites for their unreasonable demands of the week.

The domain names are in the same Demand+Thing+.org/com format.
And the website is just a petition. I've found 8 so far, but there are probably more 👇

▪️Abolish ICE
abolishicenow .org

▪️Cancel Student Debt
cancelstudentdebtnow .com

▪️Demand Market Equality
gamestopped .org

▪️Pass $2000 Checks
survivalchecks .com

I started fact checking a few things in Cori Bush's past and ended up writing 2 max-length threads. Enjoy!

👇Cori Bush Deep Dive Part 1👇

(p1 is her background. p2 is campaign related) Cori Bush's background eerily parallels AOC's.

And neither of them stand up to scrutiny.

I probably could have learned more about Cori as a person from "Knock Down The House" but you'd have to pry my eyes open like A Clockwork Orange to get me to watch it.

When I wrote this thread on Nov 9, AOC had only filed campaign data through Oct 14. I've been checking back every day to see when the rest of her data became available

Today's the day! 😃

This thread might not be as EXCITING as the last one but I want to look at her final #'s

https://twitter.com/lizburgh/status/1325812920001961987

UPDATE: When I wrote that thread on 11/9, the AP & NYBoE cited NY-14 as "100% reporting"

And nothing changed until 12/4!

The updated👇vote totals for NY-14

👉AOC: 71.6%, 152k
👉Cummings: 27.4%, 58k

(I can assume that's going to be used to discredit EVERYTHING I've ever said)

Ooh AOC filed another month of data with the FEC!

Why am I so excited about that She spent almost $17M

🤑 Let's see how much this stuff costs...

What do you hate most about the Justice Democrats?

What's your favorite fact about how sketchy they are? Or Bernie.
