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 for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.

They weren’t chasing your daughter; they were chasing YOU. You just happened to be with her, likely using her like a shield as Musk🐀 does.

The White House late Friday fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for President Donald Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

Please read Rachel Maddow's Prequel, and Heather McGhee's The Sum of Us. Both provide needed historical perspective on the slavery and antisemitism still infecting US power and politics today.

Hitler held power for 13 years. Stalin held power for 29 years. Mao held power for 33 years. The Kims......still counting. Putin......still counting. The "these next four years" comments are just precious. Just bless your heart.

Trump's nomination of Gaetz will be the clearest signal yet of whether GOP senators are ready to do his bidding on all sorts of issues. If Trump can get 51 votes for Gaetz, he can get a Senate majority for just about anything — like cutting back Social Security. Be warned.

So, where are the Blacks for Trump? A cabinet should represent and reflect its people. This collection resembles an exclusive country club.

This is chilling. In September, as Elon Musk began buying Trump a presidency after Trump promised him a federal department he could use to destroy his enemies, Trump agents at the Heritage Foundation began filing FOIA requests to find anyone in government who had ever mentioned Musk in any document.
