🚨ALERT: Israel is interfering in US elections thru Brad Parscale’s Clock Tower X by illegally using $13 Million from Israel in US elections.
This is a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act.
DETAILS:
Kai Newkirk, candidate for House AZ-04, filed a foreign election interference complaint with AZ AG against Brad Parscale’s Clock Tower X.
Parscale’s Clock Tower X, the FARA registered Israel agent, directed $13M from Israel to digital strategy groups. Soon after, mysterious ���peace” groups traced back to Parscale sent Pro-Israel texts to voters in Arizona’s 4th district. Kai Newkirk is a candidate who opposes US aid to Israel & the bills merging Israel’s military with the US.
Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), 52 U.S.C. § 30121 (implemented in 11 CFR § 110.20) bans foreign nationals from:
- Making contributions or donations of money or “anything of value.”
- Making expenditures, independent expenditures, or disbursements in connection with any federal, state, or local election.
- Making disbursements for electioneering communications (e.g., certain broadcast, cable, or satellite ads mentioning candidates close to an election).
This explicitly covers paying for or running campaign ads, independent expenditures (ads expressly advocating for or against a candidate), robocalls, text messages, or other paid communications aimed at influencing an election.
The State Department just released a 99-page conspiracy theory that masquerades as a report on Cuba.
It's complete nonsense that is not just aimed at the Cuban government but also against the United States’ own citizens.
.@AbdulElSayed is the only candidate in the race who rejects corporate Super PAC money.
He is going to take on the fossil fuel lobby and defeat Mike Rogers to bring costs down for working families.
The Trump administration’s new State Department report on Cuba is a dangerous attempt to criminalize peace activism and revive Cold War fearmongering.
Instead of acknowledging the devastating impact of the U.S. blockade, which has contributed to shortages of food, medicine, fuel, and electricity, it smears organizations like CODEPINK, the National Lawyers Guild, the Democratic Socialists of America, and Pastors for Peace simply for opposing U.S. policy.
For more than 60 years, the blockade has caused immense suffering while failing to achieve its stated goals. The answer isn’t more intimidation, sanctions, or threats, it’s diplomacy, solidarity, and an end to the blockade.
A few hours after the conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV last year, I was standing in the courtyard of the Augustinianum, the headquarters of the Augustinian Order to which Robert Francis Prevost belongs, just a few feet from St. Peter's Basilica.
I had just finished helping out ABC News (we were, providentially, using the rooftop of the Augustinianum) and they wanted to interview me about the new pope "on the street." I was quite moved by his election and actually wept after we had finished up the coverage on the set.
It was around 9 PM, and people were already coming to the Augustinianum to snap photos of the "former home" of the new pope. One group of sisters posed by the sign affixed to the outside of the building.
Not surprisingly, in addition to many reporters, I was standing among several excited black-habited Augustinians in the courtyard.
I said to one, dressed in a clerical shirt, "Are you an Augustinian?" "Yes!" he said. "Congratulations!" I said.
An American, he was very friendly and very excited. We joked a bit about having a Jesuit pope and now an Augustinian pope.
Then I said, "Do you know him?"
He said, "Who, Bob?"
I laughed and said, "Yes, I guess: Bob."
"I've known him for 40 years," he said.
I said, "I know him a little from the Synod, and he seems wonderful, but what's he like?"
"Oh well," he said, "you know we elected him twice as Prior General: the first time because we really liked him; the second time because he had done a great job." (Being elected twice as superior general by your brothers in a religious order is some feat.)
"But what's he like?" he said, repeating my question. "Bob is smart, kind, humble, a hard worker, a great listener, quite reserved, close to the poor, and beloved by our men. Everyone loves Bob."
Then he paused.
"But he's no pushover."
I think we saw that today.
🇩🇪What happened to German legal scholars who once contributed to develop int’l law? Where are the think tanks/foundations that once drove debates on justice?
Fellow Germans: please wake up and help face the crisis your country is helping to shape at the heart of Europe. Again.
US ambassador to UN Mike Waltz is introducing a UN resolution calling for freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Hmmm. What about freedom of navigation for the Sumud Flotilla to Gaza attacked by Israel in international waters near Crete?
"AIPAC and its super PACs, like the United Democracy Project, have spent tens of millions targeting progressive Democrats who speak out against the killings in Gaza."
"I’ll say it clearly: I will not take AIPAC money. Congressman Larson should return those contributions. And Bronin should make a clear pledge to reject them."
"Democratic voters deserve to know exactly where their candidates stand. Our party cannot ignore corruption for political convenience, as Congress has done for decades. With millions of dollars being spent to influence our elections, we need to finally elect leaders who put the needs of the people first."
Our mission calls us to be “bridges” and “channels” of #Peace, even before trying to build it with our limited human efforts, especially in the face of those who do not seek it as a gift from God. May the grace that comes from heaven find its way through the folds of history.
