15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. We must overturn Citizens United. Every day, it corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Wow! That televised interaction in the white house with Zelensky. Trump and Vance are unabashedly pro-Putin. They both attacked him for working with Biden. He is fighting for his country's survival and they demand he thank Trump AND 'pay' him back by giving mineral rights away to the US?! Shameful.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... this is a blatant and disgusting violation of civil rights. All involved should be aggressively prosecuted and barred from any future public service other than picking up trash on highways with their fellow prisoners.
