Governing philosophy is trying to wring out as much money from this gig as he possibly can.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Remember: the old money folks in Manhattan always rejected Trump. He’s all about the revenge.

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social Yes, the constitution can be amended, so “we the people” can change how political campaigns are funded. Could you have Jeff Clements of American Promise on to explain how many states already want that? Here is Clements on John Avlon’s show: youtu.be/QfpNpzq-dhk?...

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social Could you have Jeff Clements from American Promise on the show to talk about how we amend the constitution and limit campaign spending? 23 states have advanced the idea. TX, WY, OK, IL, PA, AZ, WI have bills in committee. We need 38 states. youtu.be/QfpNpzq-dhk?...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com You sound angry enough to start getting money out of politics. Have Jeff Clements from American Promise on the show to talk about how we amend the constitution and limit campaign spending. youtu.be/QfpNpzq-dhk?...

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I suggest Americans feel divided and unserved by their representatives because their representatives are only worried about their donors and funders. If we reduced the rot of money in politics, maybe the politicians could represent their constituents again.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Would you consider having Jeff Clements from American Promise on to talk about how we can reduce corruption in our political system? youtu.be/QfpNpzq-dhk?...
