150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October.
It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth.
It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash.
We must get big money out of our politics.
Seniors voted to gut Social Security.
Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages.
Immigrants voted for deportation raids.
Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires.
Women voted to have fewer rights than men.
Police voted for a convicted felon.
It was a coup by the billionaires. The fact that so many Americans didn't realize they were being scammed by oligarchs is a testament to the collective stupidity of our country. 😳👇
Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

California is ready to fight.
I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.
Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.

Montana, Nevada, Arizona, and Missouri voted for a woman's right to choose while simultaneously voting for the guy who stripped them of that right. Wild times.
It’s unbelievable that so many Americans voted for the felon who only cares about himself instead of the capable competent women who really cared about them…
As a Canadian, I am once again profoundly glad that Canada's Liberal government had the foresight to invest in Telesat instead of going with Musk's Starlink. They got roasted by Poilievre's Cons, but it's clear Trudeau's gov't is aware Musk is a Putin-owned threat. #CDNpoli
Mike Pence: “The American people deserve to know that President Trump and his advisers didn't just ask me to pause, they asked me to reject votes, to return votes, essentially to overturn the election.”

Mike Johnson's asinine admission that he would repeal the CHIPS Act if Republicans and Trump win the election is a complete disaster for thousands of Michigan workers relying on the jobs that this legislation provides.
Make no mistake, a repeal of the CHIPS Act would kill thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs right here in Michigan. The CHIPS Act was a huge win for Michigan workers, our manufacturers, and families’ pocketbooks, because it’s all about bringing a vital supply chain home, creating more good-paying jobs, and lowering costs. Republicans can’t stop attacking Michigan jobs and businesses, and we’ve got to vote them out.
