Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true?
BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country
Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime?
BONDI: *leaves*

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”
