Why do Wayne LaPierre, Grover Norquist, and Mitch McConnell hold so much ability to control how our democracy functions? Two are not publicly elected or publicly accountable and #MoscowMitch is responsible to only 1.4% of the US population. Our democracy isn't so great.
“.. Without immigration, the US working-age population would be shrinking, and this seems likely to remain the case for the rest of the decade. Immigrants are taking all the jobs because, on net, no one else is available.”

The headlines today are all about Donald’s plummeting stock prices, but that’s just scratching the surface.
The real story, the one that’s buried beneath the sensational headlines, is far more intriguing: Truth Social could be a front for a campaign finance scam.
Let me break it down for you:
Direct donations to political candidates are subject to FEC laws, which impose limits on the amount that can be donated and require transparency about the source of donations.
Now that Truth Social is a publicly traded company, however, supporters and even foreign entities have a new, surreptitious way to back Donald financially without having to make a direct political donation.
This is a cause for concern.
Still, today’s developments offer some positive news: without a solid financial foundation, the company’s ability to operate, let alone pose a threat, is significantly compromised.
One thing is certain: our eyes are open. And we’re watching.

@Mayhem4Markets@jennablan Government deficit spending was off the charts forever. How did it take 20 plus years to get to 5% rates again?
Republican administrations raise spending most -while cutting taxes.
