MAGA Inc. is the richest super PAC in America, and it isn't particularly close.

And crypto and pro-AI PACs are stockpiling cash, while the national Democratic party flounders financially.

[Ence Morse @ccemorse]

The five richest super PACs entering 2026:
- MAGA Inc (Trump), $304M
- Fairshake (pro-crypto), $191M
- Democracy PAC II (Soros), $124M
- SLF (GOP Senate), $100M
- United Democracy Project (pro-Israel), $96M

Which is to say, Trump is in a league of his own.

Dear President Trump: With the $10 Billion you are suing for regarding the release of your tax returns you could compensate all the J6 political prisoners. Don't forget those who have endured so much for their support of you!
