This is a major victory for protecting Americans from a clear foreign threat, whether people realize it or not. What I find most amazing is that accusations of bought politicians are quite common, but this was the clearest example I can remember of donors actually calling around with direct threats to fully stop funding based on one bill and it completely backfired. Along with the completely dishonest campaign about the bill itself led by TikTok, it only exposed how desperately CCP wanted to keep control.

@AGHamilton29 Even more remarkable: the CCP-aligned donors lost. All the money was on TikTok’s side. And it wasn’t enough. Tectonic shift.
@michaelsobolik @AGHamilton29 No, all the money was in Ukraine’s side and this was simply added to the back
