It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda.
Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants.
He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Israel has publicly announced it is starving & flattening Gaza & forcing anyone still alive in a tiny sliver of their land. And the world is just watching. And the flotilla headed there is bombed with drones. People are starving, eating one meal a day or one every two days.

Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
