NEW: Rep. Shri Thanedar’s campaign reported losing $630k after investing $3.7 million in crypto. Amid those losses, AIPAC donors stepped in and gave Thanedar 2/3 of the money he raised last quarter ahead of a challenge from Dem Socialist Donavan McKinney https://t.co/9R0ojbC4Xh

This is really incredible. Docs released by Trump tonight confirm RUSSIA tried to spread claims Biden was engaged in criminal activity vis-a-vis Burisma and that it advanced those narratives "with US officials" and planed a "high-profile corruption scandal... at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign."

Once again, Shri Thanedar proved he'd rather spend $ dropping bombs on families overseas than help our families here at home. It's unacceptable.

Detroit, we deserve better. We deserve someone who knows our struggles & needs, and who will always fight to put us first in Congress.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years building the American Dream. A business, a home, three sons in college. On Tuesday, ICE agents killed him, then started blaming him before there was ever an investigation.

This is the same agency that killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The tactics haven't changed. The impunity hasn't changed.

There must be a thorough, independent investigation immediately. And we cannot allow another innocent life to be taken by this rogue agency, we must abolish ICE.

Exclusive: US military commanders bypassed warnings that intel on potential targets in Iran was severely out of date & approved some strikes — including one that hit a school, killing nearly 200 hundred children & adults -- based on years-old info that was not updated before war started, per multiple sources.

⚡️ Melat Kiros: Arms Embargo and Rejecting Corporate PACs Are the Price of Our Votes

Melat Kiros, the democratic socialist who unseated 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette in Denver on Tuesday, told CNN she will not vote for any Democrat for a leadership position who takes corporate PAC money, a “standard” she believes the Democratic Party should be setting moving forward.

She acknowledges it would also apply to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Kiros is also emphasizing an arms embargo on Israel as a baseline demand of the incoming left bloc. “If enough of us share that commitment to Medicare for All, to ending corporate capture, to an arms embargo, we should absolutely say: here are our conditions,” she told Axios. “If you want our votes on leadership, on appropriations, this is what it costs.”

A full embargo, she told Colorado Public Radio, “is the opinion of the vast majority of Democratic voters.”

Until this cycle, Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, and Ilhan Omar had stood alone among lawmakers in demanding a full embargo; Kiros and the wave of DSA-backed primary winners aligned with her are moving it to the center of their bloc’s agenda.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

After Colorado’s anti-big-money election, I’d like to see @MelatKirosCO & @pweiser team up on legislation to publicly finance federal and state elections — like exists in NYC.

“Oveturn Citizens United” is a worthy goal, but not an actual answer to *funding* campaigns.

The only solution is public financing — and we need that to be explicitly discussed beyond the worthwhile rhetoric about Citizens United.

Melat Kiros thanks Rep Diana DeGette for her service, her support of reproductive rights, and for building the community that welcomed Kiros' family to Colorado when they immigrated from Ethiopia in the late 90s.

Kiros: We will not wait to take the fight to Donald Trump and the oligarchy. We will not wait to abolish ICE and pass medicare for all. We will not wait to reject corporate pac's like AIPAC. No, we will not wait to end the genocide in Palestine

Overall, a rough night in Colorado for Elect Democratic Women-affiliated Pro-Choice Majority Action, which spent over $1.5 million backing Rep. Diana DeGette in #CO01 and EMILY's List-affiliated Women Vote, which spent $1.3 million backing Shannon Bird in #CO08
