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 has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
