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.

Just to echo Rodent, UK politics makes much more sense if you understand it as Thatcherism collapsing in 2008 but persisting as gospel among the elites, who then spent the next two decades setting up various scapegoats to slaughter and then go, "Whoops. Turns out the blood is in another neck!"
I am not going to tell you my ideas are for def 100% the solution but I am going to say that it was crystal clear ten years ago that migrant-squealing Thatcherite centrism was a democratic disaster, and the lads spent that entire time screeching and gargling to protect it.

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if The Matrix was real and the machines figured out they could generate infinite energy from its “Britain” section of the pods by making everyone constantly and incoherently mad

The right wing press in Britain is too big to fail because it’s one of the last remaining industries that still periodically creates jobs (20 year old rent a heads complaining about woke)

WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY!
Nothin like looking up an old invoice checkin in with the ol' inflation calculator and realizing that even though you raised your rates 100 dollars/day, you're still making $27.48 less a day than you were 5 years ago.

I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!
Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.

Mamdani's first skeet since the meeting.
Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

In her resignation statement, MTG breaks very dramatically with the secret-plan conspiracy theorists about what’s happening in DC.
