It feels like taxpayers are footing the bill for a dying tyrant’s wish list. A ballroom. A triumphal arch. A war in Venezuela. He’s got people lobbying for him to get a Nobel Prize for the COVID vaccines.
No bequest for the American people in his dying days, though. We’re not important to him.

Big Pharma jacked up prices on 575 drugs in the first two fucking days of 2025 — then spent $227 million lobbying the government to protect their profits. While Americans skip doses and go broke, they’re buying silence in Washington.

Walmart both receives tens of millions of dollars of SNAP funds and creates millions of SNAP recipients with their unlivable wages. They spend millions in lobbying.
It'll be fun to see how they react to the White House choosing to defund the program.

33 Senators, knowing there was almost zero chance of the House even taking the bill up 12 minutes before the end of spring session, publicly cast their votes to blow up the fiefdoms of board seats and raise taxes opposed by some of the state’s most powerful lobbying groups.
That was hard.
That was hard.
I am sick and fucking tired of hearing legislators talk about how “hard” transit is.
They may not understand right now how hard it will be for their constituents if they don’t get it done — but every single member of the House is running for re-election right now.
We will not forget.
