A Pair of Billionaire Preachers Built the Most Powerful Political Machine in Texas. Thatβs Just the Start.
Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks are poised to take their Christian nationalist agenda nationwide.
Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes.
Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, theyβd face a court, not a drone.
The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administrationβs story isnβt adding up.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.
Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.
So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Republicans cheer and engineer shutdowns because shutdowns erode people's faith in government, and that benefits the corporations and billionaires who want to push government of the way, so they can amass more power and wealth.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isnβt recruiting heroes, itβs recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.
