If you look at the actual text of the bill: any foreign country or NGO that's ever funneled money, aid, or resources to the Taliban, even indirectly , could lose ALL U.S. funding.

This means the bill potentially strips any and all foreign aid going to China, Qatar, Iran, Russia, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia.

Blocking foreign money from flowing into universities is a national security issue regardless. Foreign governments don't fund education out of goodwill. They're doing it with the goal of creating activists who will push their agendas, not ours.

For example, Qatar Foundation International gives students scholarships to study Arabic at Bowdoin. That is the exact same program where Zohran Mamdani came from. cc: @RepLuna

I received the following email from CODEPINK.

"We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK. These claims—which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any foreign government or entity—are entirely baseless and constitute libel."

So, I will share the facts without spin:

Per Wikipedia, CODEPINK is 25% funded by Neville Singham, who is living in Shanghai and got rich off spreading CCP propaganda, and is under investigation by Congress for FARA violations.

CODEPINK is running a campaign called "China is Not Our Enemy," which promotes pro-China messaging, including denial of the Uyghur genocide, an atrocity affirmed by the U.S. Department of State.

The founder of CODEPINK, Jodie Evans, is married to the aforementioned Neville Singham.

In fact, the Uyghur denialism goes so far that Jodie Evans said in a YouTube interview, that Uyghurs are terrorists traine

And in solidarity for Code Pink's desire to get only the facts out without any allegations of being CCP-linked, I have pinned this thread to my profile.

I'll probably stop here, but please check out the others' comments to the thread.

Again, CODEPINK, I am sorry for repeating an opinion. I have gone so far that I researched to correct my own transgressions and provided the facts as I found them to my followers. 🫡

In fact, the Global Exchange delegation to Iran was so unusual that Medea Benjamin came under FBI scrutiny for it. This was reported in Tehran Times, an Iranian state-controlled news outlet.

There is no United States embassy in Iran, so it is notoriously difficult to visit there. Yet, Medea Benjamin herself was able to take a 28-person "people-to-people" delegate to Iran and speak to government officials there.

I would say that such a write-in will simply split votes from Adams. I encourage you to think outside the box and go opposite. Find another left-wing candidate that splits votes from Mamdani.
Stern letter written.
I lied. Global Exchange is a 501(c)(3) - EIN 94-3066686. 26 U.S. Code § 501(c)(3) prohibits political activity for nonprofits. This includes foreign contexts as well. Looks like I'll be writing another stern letter tomorrow.

Perhaps a FARA investigation is in order.

And never forget: the Democratic party has a foreign subversive problem.

Thread end.
