We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Every state w a blue trifecta should immediately pass a state-level ACA. We did it in MA, it was the model for Obamacare. In my dreams, all the states that formed public health collabs could create ACA-style joint pools, but that will prob inspire a fight over the interstate compact clause.

The Death of Competition in American Elections
A vast majority of 2024 races for Congress and state legislatures were decided by low-turnout or meaningless primaries. The trend is making politics more polarized and eroding public trust.

One interesting thing to think about is that there has never been a way to access all the huge troves of data across the US government as a whole. Besides the computing challenge, it’s also been questionable given our basic values to create what would essentially be a Department of Information.
