As SCOTUS hears another case today that could further destroy campaign finance regulation, consider this astonishing fact: political spending by billionaires has increased 160-fold since Citizens United decision www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

MAGA’s nefarious new math summed up
$100M for Trump’s golf trips.
$172M for private jets.
$230M to settle with Trump.
$250M for his ballroom.
$40B to Argentina.
$117B in tax breaks for the top 1%.
$170B for ICE.

But no money for food stamps.
Billionaires are robbing all of us.

UnitedHealth paid nursing homes to let seniors die because it was more profitable than treating them.

Why are health insurance executives getting bonuses, when they should be getting life in prison for conspiracy to commit murder?

Absolutely correct.

Call your House representatives. Write them actual letters. Show up at their local offices. Flood the zone.

Demand they draw the line while they still can.
If Congressional Democrats vote for a budget and debt ceiling increase while Trump and Musk are breaking very serious laws and usurping Congress's power of the purse, it'll be enablement. Validation. A pathetic path to historical infamy.
I strongly agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social. Take a stand.
Democrats Approach Their Enabling Moment
If Democrats provide the decisive votes to fund this government, it will reverberate through history for all time.

Wired is killing it. Also, the Musk goons being afraid of being identified says to me how tenuous all this shit is. If they have to face any actual resistance they can be defeated. They should have people yelling in their faces their names and addresses and that they're going to be arrested someday

Amusing report from @ddayen.bsky.social -- CFPB head Rohit Chopra, the bane of Wall Street and Silicon Valley, is still in his position because nobody in MAGAworld is yet willing to take the job: prospect.org/economy/2025...
Rohit Chopra Still Has a Job
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau head has not been fired. Apparently, it’s because the Trump team can’t find anyone to replace him.

Such an ignorant sentence.
UnitedHealth is the:
-largest employer of doctors in the US
-2nd-largest pharmacy benefit manager
-largest health IT platform
-owner of surgical centers, urgent care centers, home health & hospice agencies
27% of UHC revenue goes to itself.
