The top 7 donors gave over $1bil to Trump. This is how an oligarchy entrenches itself in a democracy.
![The image is a chart titled "Top Donors in 2024 Election," showing contributions to campaign committees and independent groups. It notes George Soros donated $179 million in 2022, much unspent until 2024. Donors are categorized as "Solidly Republican/Conservative," "Solidly Democratic/Liberal," or "Leans Republican/Conservative." Top donors include:
Elon Musk: $291,482,587 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)
Timothy Mellon: $197,047,200 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)
Miriam Adelson: $148,304,900 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Jeffrey & Janine Yass: $101,128,680 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

[...]
The chart notes "Solid" donors give over 85% to one side, "Leans" give 60%-80%, and "On the Fence" donors are more balanced.

There's 2 main reasons for this:
First, because traditional Medicare hasn't really had its benefits significantly expanded in 20 years (except the $2K/yr cap on drug co-pays added under Biden).
Second, because Med Advantage spends a FORTUNE on advertising to seniors.

Illinois Ds, you have a great Governor Pritzker. Sen. Durbin, why no ability to leave a message on your Capitol phone line? Since Feb1, I have called R and D senators almost daily. I leave VMs or sometimes talk to staff. Just finished calls to all other 46 Ds CR vote. Is Durbin right for the times??

Good idea! This morning I called some Democrat and Republican Senators as I do every day and said something similar to the Dems. On the Capitol steps if you have to, a press briefing every day, with an 🔥🔥🔥spirit. These interviews posted are a beginning! We are starting to see the Fight go LIVE!!
Dems need to open "The Office of the Opposition Party" and pick a prominent Dem to conduct DAILY press briefings and allow ALL news outlets access. Run it just like a White House press briefing, keep it short and have frequent guest speakers to make short concise presentations.

Please share widely. I have called about 10 senators, they get the NYT, mostly Dems, voicemail or spoke with staff asking to share and senators to speak publicly. It is egregious, unconscionable hatred of HUMAN BEINGS. Speak up! A jet instead of Cattle Car

Under Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan, Some Migrants Are Being Sent to Panama (Gift Article)
The administration has asked Panama to take in hundreds of people who can’t easily be sent back to their countries. Many say they are in danger.

Shame on you, Senator Bill Cassidy.
Shame the hell on you, DOCTOR.
You place every American life in danger with full awareness you have sacrificed American excellence in medicine and violated your oath of office in a show of allegiance to a maniac.
