The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Pride events face budget shortfalls as US corporations pull support ahead of summer festivities
After years of sponsoring LGBTQ+ Pride events around the country, some companies are pulling their financial support.
As we enter Pride month tomorrow it's important to remember that Pride is not sponsored by corporations, it's brought to you by the drag queens who stood up at Stonewall, and everyone who fights every day for equality. There were no corporate sponsors in 1969 and we don't need them now. #Pride π³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπ

I think my biggest problem with βwe have Biden to thank for Trump 2.0β is it puts the bad decision onus on one man and absolves millions of bad decisions from voters who had ample evidence to know better. And absolves a press that obviously didnβt convey the stakes very effectively.

The ugly truth about Trump's "big, beautiful bill"
On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump pledged to improve the economic conditions of the working class.
The average Republican in Congress is a millionaire, funded by billionaires.
25% of American households have a net worth less than $27k.
Just in case you were surprised that their budget attacks the working class to give more handouts to rich people like them.
