"If he is taking money from foreign governments or foreign entities, and then loaning that money to his campaign, that's jail time. That's like orange jumpsuit. That's money laundering. It's being a conduit for foreign governments to influence our elections." #MikeMadrid

In the last episode of #MikeDrop, Mike discussed George Santos' loan of $700,000 to his own campaign, noting that this may be Santos' downfall if the source is traced back to foreign money.

Why is the war in #Ukraine important? "If we can get rid of Putin, so much of the destabilization of democracy goes away."

The rise of evangelical Christian movements is not organic, Mike explains on this week's episode of #MikeDrop. Instead, it is a sophisticated, well-funded effort with ties back to Moscow.
