"We are living through a revolutionary change," @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes of the Trump era. "For the past decade, American government and business alike have slowly begun to adopt the kleptocratic model pioneered by countries such as Russia and China." https://theatln.tc/ldjLYq88

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

The DNC should immediately ban dark money and corporate money from the party and every elected Democrat should publicly come out in support of it.
If not, they need to stop using the “oligarchy” terminology.
