And now these candidates will get another cash infusion due to the fact that they asked Biden to w/d

This also explains why all these house members are coming out and asking Biden to withdraw. I've never seen anything like this in my life!

Bring it to the light! Expose! Call it out! LeftInTX Jul 2024 #2

Totally agree. hamsterjill Jul 2024 #6

Tammy Baldwin??? Oh damn. 🤬 a kennedy Jul 2024 #3

Baldwin's most recent position on this is she hasn't a position Model35mech Jul 2024 #8

Members of the senate don't seem as vulnerable to these rewards, however members of the house are being swayed. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #10

Yes it looks to be that way. Model35mech Jul 2024 #47

$3300 is the limit DetroitLegalBeagle Jul 2024 #55

Yes... but a seems a small amount to sell out the candidate Model35mech Jul 2024 #59

Can you believe it!? How dare these dastardly donors fund vulnerable House Democrats who will decide the majority???? tritsofme Jul 2024 #4

The best thing to do is call the congress members out. Tag them on twitter. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #7

Maybe something more ominous going on. delisen Jul 2024 #11

I haven't. Just call them out and shed some light. They may stop their anti-Biden stuff. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #15

If the funding is contingent on the recipients' publicly calling for Biden to drop out Blaukraut Jul 2024 #22

Yep!!! LeftInTX Jul 2024 #23

How dare the candidates allow themselves to be bought. Bev54 Jul 2024 #31

I think that is quite an incredible accusation to make against elected Democratic lawmakers. tritsofme Jul 2024 #32

Look at the dates of the donations - none after April, many in 2023! karynnj Jul 2024 #12

Unless this was planned back then..... Chakaconcarne Jul 2024 #13

Some of them hold off on submitting reports. (A dirty secret) Keep in mind reports are updated quarterly too. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #14

Yes, i know, but given some responses, printing that list shows nothing but that they have been donors karynnj Jul 2024 #16

Holy fuck.money is destroying us. bluestarone Jul 2024 #17

Unfortunately it seems to explain a lot. delisen Jul 2024 #19

So, do I have this right? wnylib Jul 2024 #20

Calling them out shouldn't jeopordize their campaigns. No worse than when you're lobbying them ahead of a vote. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #21

I added to my post some doubts about media coverage, too. wnylib Jul 2024 #24

But this is more concrete and obvious. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #25

In your earlier response to me you said that wnylib Jul 2024 #34

The article said it. Ritchie Torres is not vulnerable. His primary is over. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #43

And now it is more public than an e-mail. wnylib Jul 2024 #45

They basically are. And it's not good. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #30

They were already calling for Biden to drop out before the donations. Mblaze Jul 2024 #62

That's disgraceful. but there's no other explanation left. ucrdem Jul 2024 #28

Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on this. . . DinahMoeHum Jul 2024 #36

Not all of their recipients are asking Biden to step down. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #38

I've seen posts calling for us to support them to keep the house and senate and build on it chowder66 Jul 2024 #37

I'm tagging on twitter. No different than tagging them prior to a vote in congress. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #40

Sounds like they already got their "reward." LisaL Jul 2024 #41

Thank you for the list idahoblue Jul 2024 #48

I advise them all to return the crazy dirty money. dchill Jul 2024 #49

Crypto crap. dchill Jul 2024 #57

Make a wish washy statement, take the money, give it to Biden (tie your campaign ads to needing a Democratic President). Freethinker65 Jul 2024 #53

Or take back what you said... LeftInTX Jul 2024 #54

Or expose what you were asked to do for the money, but that could hurt your colleagues. Freethinker65 Jul 2024 #56

How about don't take the money. LisaL Jul 2024 #58

Is it, if you are going to retract your statement? Freethinker65 Jul 2024 #60
