These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever.
They areβcandidlyβutterly mad. Theyβre also in charge right now.
Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These arenβt acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

It is not just for war. It helps in any crisis.
Government, businesses, civil society, and citizens all have roles.
Europe should treat this as a benchmark and start building toward it, not merely on paper
Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!
