A little information for those of you who aren't familiar with exactly what they are or why PACS exist. Just about anyone can start a Super PAC, including an ordinary private citizen like you. You don't have to be wealthy, hold political office, or have a candidate's permission. James Talarico has no control over whether an independent Super PAC spends money supporting his campaign. He cannot legally coordinate that spending with the Super PAC. However, he does have control over whether his campaign accepts contributions from a corporate PAC. His campaign can refuse those donations or return them. So the distinction is: Super PAC: Can spend millions supporting Talarico without his permission. He cannot prevent independent spending on his behalf. Corporate PAC: Can offer a legal contribution to his campaign, but Talarico's campaign can reject it. One additional distinction: A corporate PAC generally raises money from eligible individuals associated with a corporation, rather than donating directly from the corporation's treasury. Bottom line: Talarico can truthfully say he refuses corporate PAC contributions while independent Super PACs spend millions helping him get elected. Those two things are not contradictory.

In what workplace could anyone else say this? We’ve become numb to indecencies. I’m tired of it. Call me old-fashioned but I’m ready for a president with some dignity.

- Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦: "If there are no personal consequences for deciding to wage war against a sovereign state, then all international rules cease to function, the global security order is destroyed, and any other country could become a victim. Accountability for aggression is not only a signal about the past – it is a signal about the future: about how the world responds to unlawful uses of force and what consequences await those who violate international norms" ........... He is right...! 🫡
