He’s not wrong. Musk threw over $290 MILLION into the 2024 election to help get Trump and other Republicans elected. Let’s look past this broken bromance and focus on the real problem: broken campaign finance laws. It's time to overturn Citizens United.

THE SENATE WILL NOT RESCUE US. This draft from the Environment and Public Works committee shows that they are planning to go the "Reconciliation" route--everything has to be fiscal for them to get to pass it with 50+1 votes This is devastation of any protections to our health. Call yer senators
