Wall Street is his top source of funding.
Donor # 7 - United Health.

But, 13% of his money came from small individual contributions of under $200.

Kneel to the fascist
You are a fascist

Sorry but the Dems lost any resemblance of strength and leadership. America is now on the fast track to fascism... thanks to the Dems -- all of them

The billionaire owner of the Washington Commanders might name his new stadium after a man who just got mercilessly booed by his entire fan base because they despise him. Seems like a brilliant branding strategy.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I’m disgusted by a party that waited until we all felt a glimmer of hope on Tuesday and then demolished it as quickly as Orange Felon demolished the East Wing.
Every single Democrat should be ashamed of this despicable capitulation.
Lifelong Dem & donor & I’m done.
