I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

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.

BREAKING: Trump has paused tariffs for 90 days. Who could have seen this coming two days ago on Bluesky?
The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth.
That's the *best* case scenario.
