I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

I just called my senators and congresswoman. Though offices are closed I left a very detailed message. I won't repeat the content here cuz I don't want to end up in social media jail. But I urge you to call your congresspeople and senators to express your displeasure with recent gov't actions.

I feel bad for the guys at Justice. I have the same problem with my old not very good printer—sometimes it just decides to print pages black!
I recommend unplugging it and plugging it back in.

KY fires Stoops. He get $36 mil to go away. MI State fires Smith. He gets $33 mil. Buyouts. Add in NIL and the transfer portal and college football is on the road to self-inflicted implosion.
The decision to fire Stoops is a costly one. His contract calls for a $36 million buyout, all of which is due within 60 days, a result of extensions from Stoops’ winning years.

This already happened in Iowa a few years ago. The result is lower quality public education. Shameful.
My god…they just took 50 million from the general budget for vouchers going to private religious schools.
Now, another 100 million?

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.
