🎥 Rep. Adriano Espaillat accused progressive challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier of “celebrating the death of innocent” Israelis in their election debate today, pointing to her attendance at the anti-genocide protests in NYC on October 8, 2023.
🔹New reporting from Drop Site News finds a surge of last-minute donations from major pro-Israel donors and millions in outside spending flowing to Rep. Espaillat’s campaign as he faces the Mamdani-backed democratic socialist in New York’s 13th Congressional District, which includes Harlem, East Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood.
🔹 On a single day in June, Espaillat raised nearly $112,000 from 69 wealthy donors outside his district. Drop Site reports that 48 of those donors have also contributed significant sums to AIPAC since 2023, and most have also given to AIPAC-aligned organizations.
🔹 The spending comes amid a broader multimillion-dollar effort to boost Espaillat before the June 23 primary. Since early May, more than $3.3 million in outside spending has been deployed on his behalf, including over $2.5 million from the Super PAC BOLD America.
🔹 Drop Site reports that much of the funding behind the spending blitz may not be publicly disclosed until after the election because of federal reporting schedules.
🔹 The race has become a proxy battle over Israel and the future direction of the Democratic Party, with Avila Chevalier criticizing U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza and Espaillat declining to describe the assault as a genocide.
Avila Chevalier responded by noting that 1,400 Palestinians had already been killed or wounded in Gaza by the time she attended the October 8 ceasefire rally. The full exchange ⬇️

There was a point where I stopped chasing those 300–400% YTD returns.
Yes, they’re impressive. And I respect the few who can hit those numbers — it takes serious skill, discipline, and guts. But let’s be honest… it also comes with a ton of stress most people don’t talk about.
To sustain those kinds of returns, you have to size up aggressively, push your edge to the limit, and live with the emotional weight of massive swings — both up and down. You’re constantly in the fire: glued to screens, reacting fast, barely disconnecting. It’s not just a strategy — it becomes a lifestyle. One that can quickly burn you out if you're not wired for it.
Over the years, I’ve learned to respect not just my strategy, but my own psychological bandwidth. I know the kind of risk I’m comfortable with, and what allows me to stay consistent, clear-headed, and in control.
What excites me now is doing 50–100% returns, year after year, with clean risk management, trading liquid names, and avoiding the tail-risk blowups. That’s how I stay in the game, outperform most funds, and live a life I actually enjoy outside the charts.
That’s not a step down — that’s a sustainable edge.
@HumbledTrader18 Respectfully, I always say some profitable traders on YouTube work too hard for their gains. Win rate isn’t great. Assumption from their videos, but this post confirms it. Rarely scalp. Swing trade often, not much in this VIX environment. Keep at it Shay, you’re almost there.
@Brokenfaith66@ericweinstein When nations perceive an existential threat they prioritize military spending regardless of cost. Look at North Korea. Nations could also work together forming alliances if the U.S. steps back. S. Korea/Japan. Then you’ll have a domino effect.
