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.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I admit I have been fooled by fake documentaries on YouTube. Once by an AI generated Papal speech, once by fake Rachel Maddow, and by a fake Warren Buffett. This is going to get worse. I get scammed. What to do?

The creation of wealth comes from the middle class where people spend on the things that fuel the lively markets that employ them. Extreme wealth distorts that process, moving huge amounts of money into rare luxuries, whims and dead storage like gold.

Good job for a former President. I can't picture T doing anything similar. Maybe a parade, starring himself.

Capitulation to the oligarchs. The airlines pulled their IOUs. Boycott the airlines.
Angus King is an independent but he caucuses with the Dems. There’s a reason of them who voted yes are retiring. It’s likely a bunch more Dems wanted this but ones who face the least consequences fell on the sword. Root out who wanted this. It’s more than 8.
Below are the eight #Democrats who voted to raise health care costs for millions to make it unaffordable. These eight cowardly traitors caved into Republican bullying and sadism and betrayed their constituents. Every one should be primaried.
