The 20 biggest political donors on the Forbes billionaires list have collectively given nearly $5 billion between 2015 and 2024.
We must get Big Money out of politics.

Clearly, character does not matter to half of the American electorate.
It’s because character doesn’t matter in their personal lives.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

It infuriates me when Trump/ Republicans constantly refer to Dems as “radicals.”
No party in our history has been more off center than Trump/ Republicans.
No one comes close…

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

Elizabeth Warren: "Genuinely, I don't know what's happened to the Republicans in the Senate. It's as if they have all had their spines surgically removed. They only do what Donald Trump tells them to do. So if Donald Trump tells them to sit down and negotiate, then they will sit down and negotiate."
