One thing that would greatly improve this country is if we would just hold everyone to the same standards you might your toddler. When they say something that's dishonest, you call them out for lying & hold them to account until they tell you that truth. Tired of liars treated as if they aren't bad

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

The United States has oligarchs now.
Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.

End Citizens United
150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October.
It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth.
It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash.
We must get big money out of our politics.

The first rule of authoritarian politics is that there’s only one source of authority.
Congress will be expected to give up its role in governing, particularly anything that restrains Trump’s choices and desires.

“The Senate won’t confirm them” is not even a wishful thinking response, it’s one that ignores what’s happening:
Trump announced in advance of these picks that he expects the Senate to shut itself down so he can make recess appointments — which means no confirmation process at all.
