It's a testament to the professionalism of my colleagues that I often end emails with, "Please let me know what you think" and not once has anybody replied, "I think you're an asshole."

Yet....

The remarkable part to me is that people actually respond to those texts.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Highlights from the interview of Bill Gates in NYT:

“[Elon Musk]’s the one who cut the U.S.A.I.D. budget. He put it in the wood chipper, because he didn’t go to a party that weekend...The world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children.” (1/5)
