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.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

If 40% of DOGE’s canceled contracts won’t save a dime, what’s Musk really up to?

Sabotage. He’s gutting agencies that enforce environmental rules, worker protections, and media oversight—things he & Trump want gone. Less regulation means more room for misdeeds—we’re the ones who will pay the price.

This man could have wiped out world hunger but instead made an army of mini me-s using IVF technology as an open endorsement of Eugenics.

Idk if there’s a better example of narcissism living than Musk.

When their domestic politics is based solely on being assholes to half the country, we shouldn't be surprised that this intentionally inflammatory approach spills over into their foreign diplomacy. These are neither serious nor nice people.

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.”

Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?

Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.

Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Robber baron Elon Musk squandered approx $40 million on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful!

🏈USAID would’ve spent $40M on purchasing life-saving HIV treatment from USA pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for 1 year!

Tell Congress #saveforeignaid & #standwithUSAID!

Thanks, @chocoharveymilk.bsky.social In MY America, I want hungry children to be fed and cared for. I want money spent on inoculation programs to prevent more costly pandemics. I want refugees housed. And I want to prioritize born-babies over bloated billionaires. ⬇️

Elon has spent $40M on an ad during the Super Bowl. Here is the reality.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

I had let my costco membership lapse. I renewed today and asked if memberships were up. They are! It's anecdotal, but it gives me hope in my red state.
