The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

And don't forget: when you send your $ to The Party and its leaders, you make consultants very rich, er, happy.

Dem leaders DO know how to fight. They fight hard against anyone on the left, against ideas (like single-payer health care) that Americans overwhelmingly support. But ever since last November, when they should have been fighting hard, they've just rolled, saying what can we do? Now send us money.

BUT that would involve talking about this country turning into an OLIGARCHY. Every poll shows Americans are overwhelmingly concerned about this. But Rachel sneered when Bernie and AOC drew huge crowds talking about the horrible scam we're living in.

This is what they could calmly talk about, with one voice. Suddenly people would pay attention:
The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.
That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.
One man, Elon Musk, owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 You've got to be kidding. This is the same leadership you champion, the one consistently rolling over (e.g. Schumer voting for the GOP CR, quashing any attempt to replace dinosaurs with new, passionate, younger candidates.) But hey, Martin's where the big donor bucks are, right Rachel?

When I say don’t mess with Texas women, I’m talking about State Rep. Jolanda Jones.

Just above this in my feed:

Mark Carney is planning to cut the women and gender equality ministry's budget by 81 percent. What right does he think he has to our parade when he won't even fund our survival?

Anyone sending money to the DNC is a pathetic fool. This is what Rachel would like us to support.

Unfortunately, he's right about Maher and the Dems. But not in a good way. It exemplifies why i don't like either.

Of course Bitecofer would use this right-after-the-election survey to bolster her premise that we need to support one of the old-fart standard centrists. That's her brand, with "centrist" being the most important. She'd probably be thrilled with younger examples like Buttigieg or even ☹️Slotkin.

Really hope her other comments truly mean she's not running for anything. Yes, last year i of course voted for her and urged others to. But now i can say it: she doesn't seem to have any strong convictions that matter. Has flipped on so much. Bye, Kalama. Write books. Appear on shows. Whatever.

The absurd thing is that David Grossman could not say this at Columbia or else he would be accused of antisemitism.

Time’s ticking for American authors to get on the right side of opposing genocide.
