When asked by MS NOW off camera why he is here, he said: “Just here as a citizen coming to watch the president speak.” pfft🖕

What’s remarkable about Scott is that her philanthropy isn’t an effort to offset the moral choices made in earning her fortune, as was the case for the Carnegies et al. As far I can tell, it’s just unadulterated beneficence.
NEW YORK (AP) — Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott increased her donations to nonprofits in 2025, giving $7.1 billion.

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in this case today, which could decide whether big donors can use political parties to funnel money to candidates.
Twenty years ago, the Court upheld party coordination limits—and we're urging them to do it again.

Voting for Trump fundamentally means you lack the capacity to onboard information
81% of the surveyed Latinos who voted for Trump still approve of his job performance.
For the first time in nearly two decades of our surveys of U.S. Latinos, most say they think the situation of Hispanics in this country has worsened in the last year. And about a third of Latinos say they have considered leaving the country in the last six months. www.pewresearch.org/...
