This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?
I'm writing to the White House — the public has a right to know.

My partner took this pic of my son at the Raleigh “ HANDS OFF” rally.
I’m proud of him speaking up. Big step for an extremely shy and introverted young man.

When we Christians interpret the Bible with an unforgiving literalism towards our fellow citizens, yet interpret it with graciousness towards our preferred politicians, that’s when we can be certain we are just using it to leverage our own power and privilege rather than to actually love others.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated
Why?
Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole
Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY
