shoutout to @TrackAIPAC for the incredible work. we also asked them to map out the total dollar amount aipac wasted on our races this year. will talk about this tomorrow.
A striking stat re AIPAC performance in the midterms. In 2022, almost 70% of its funds went into races where it got the desired result. In 2024, it was 87%. In 2026, that figure is 34%. responsiblestatecraft.org/ai…

First, the fascist president, sent public money, including savings and retirement payments to a private bank. His friends took loans and didn't pay them back. The grift broke the bank and the people lost everything. This is how corrupt fascist always play.

Mossad will "rescue" him and send him to United States for like they did with Flavio Bolsonaro to avoid him getting arrested. Far right politicians are brave only to shout with women, when the dirty stuff and schemes get discovered they run like the cowards they are.

The Paraguayans haul Far Right leader of the National Crusade Party Paraguayo “Payo” Cubas out. He's the Paraguayan equivalent of Trump, Farage, Bolsonaro, Milei or La Pen. He supported the recently deposed criminal President and thought he could move in. Paraguay said NO

A note on Paraguay: we aren’t just mad because we can’t access our money (although that in itself is awful), but because said bank went bankrupt because they used PUBLIC FUNDS to give out GIGANTIC loans to people connected to the president

🔴🇵🇾 Le président d’extrême droite du Paraguay DÉMISSIONNE Deux jours après l'effondrement du système bancaire, de manifestations populaires et de menace de destitution parlementaire, Santiago Peña renonce à la présidence. Explications 👇 Le Paraguay est présenté comme un pays économiquement « stable » et dirigé par des « responsables ». Sauf que mardi dernier, la banque Ueno Bank -la plus grande en clientèle du pays- est déclarée en faillite par la Banque centrale du Paraguay (BCP). 👉 3 millions de Paraguayens (60% de la population adulte) n’ont plus accès à leurs fonds. 👉 Le système de retraites public/privé est aussi impacté. L’État -géré par le président d’extrême droite- avait délégué l'administration de 850 millions de dollars de fonds publics à Ueno Bank, dont 355 millions pour les pensions de retraites. 32.000 retraités recevaient directement leur pension de cette banque. Le président Peña a lui-même été actionnaire de la banque Ueno et a participé à son ascension au niveau national. Au lendemain de son arrivée au pouvoir en 2023, il a nommé à la tête de la Banque centrale son ami et ex-directeur d’Ueno, Carlos Carvallo Spalding. Santiago Peña démissionne dans l'espoir de sauver sa peau. Il échange son immunité présidentielle contre une immunité sénatoriale car, oui, au Paraguay un président démissionnaire devient sénateur à vie (comme Pinochet). Et le procès public qui s'ouvrait contre lui devra maintenant nécessiter l'approbation des deux tiers du Sénat pour rompre sa nouvelle immunité. Peu importe le « détail », au moins l’Amérique latine et le monde se débarrassent d’un président néof*sciste en moins, ami de Milei et Trump, nostalgique de la dictature. Bravo le Paraguay !

Paraguay's corrupt right-wing President Santiago Peña was a close US ally. He oversaw the creation of a digital bank called Ueno Bank, which his government heavily promoted. Two-thirds of Paraguayans used the bank. It turned out to be a massive scheme. The bank gave out many fraudulent loans and is probably insolvent. When this scandal was exposed, the bank froze access to customer funds, paralyzing the country's economy. Peña resigned mere minutes before lawmakers voted to impeach him. Arrest orders have been issued for the bank executives.

The story Glenn & NYT are trying to push off the headlines today: Ueno Bank, that's collapse just brought down the far right Pres of Paraguay, funded a "Hispanic Prosperity Gala" at Mar-a-Lago this year. Guests included: Eduardo Bolsonaro, Javier Milei, Keiko Fujimora & RFK jr.

-Jefferies endorsed 5 candidates in the midterms, 2 won. -Chuck Schumer endorsed 2 (Janet Mills, Haley Stevens) both lost, one nuked her career on camera.
Chuck Schumer will be the Majority Leader. Hakeem Jeffries will be Speaker of the House. Anyone crying about this is not a serious person. Both men did a phenomenal job recruiting candidates, supporting them, and ultimately delivering one of the best midterms wins ever.

After a banking scandal left 3 million unable to access their money, the people of Paraguay filled the streets, dragged their corrupt politicians out of Congress, and forced the president to resign. Protests, strikes, and revolution are the only way to stop the ruling class and restore power to the people.

DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses. - Medicare for All - A $20-an-hour minimum wage - The PRO Act - A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program - An AI data center moratorium - Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform - REAL campaign finance reform

El 10 de febrero de 2026, Ueno Bank fue uno de los seis patrocinadores de categoría Diamond (diamante) de la Hispanic Prosperity Gala, celebrada en Mar-a-Lago, el club de Donald Trump en Florida.

Por cierto, el Banco Ueno que acaba de quebrar en Paraguay es uno de los principales patrocinadores de la CPAC, la confederación de partidos y líderes de ultraderecha en toda América. Financieros de Cerimedo, de Negre y de Milei. Estafadores y narcos, eso son.

The outrage in Paraguay is massive, 60% of people have lost all their money because the National Bank collapsed due to the corrupt Right Wing Government who were robbing it. There are even people in wheelchairs confronting riot police. Take back Paraguay from the thieves.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Republican Rep. Thomas Massie will force a vote next week on a bill to finally release the Epstein files in full — and he's confident it will pass. The truth will finally be dragged into the light... “When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote,” Massie wrote. “Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ [Department of Justice] to court for keeping critical files hidden.” Rep. Ro Khanna, who co-sponsored the original Epstein Transparency Act with Massie, is calling the new bill the “Epstein 2.0 Act,” and it's aimed at ending the coverup that the Trump administration scrambled to carry out in the wake of the first bill. It will force full compliance with the original disclosure law. We know that Trump is deeply implicated in these files and we also have good reason to believe that powerful, influential men involved in Epstein's crimes have had their names improperly redacted. It's time for them to be held accountable for the horrors that they inflicted on innocent children. Before the blue tsunami hit this week, Republicans had an incentive to side with Trump and shield the files. Now that he has been thoroughly rejected by the American people and MAGA has collapsed in the dustbin of history, they have an incentive to break from him. Their pathetic political futures depend upon it, in fact. Please ❤️ and share if you support full transparency on the Epstein files!
