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.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:
$678M raised through those spam tactics
$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)
The party isnβt just treating donors like marksβitβs being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

I get that addiction is real and deserves empathyβ¦but if youβre rushing to the defense of Hegseth because heβs got a drinking problem you need sit this one out. Having empathy doesnβt mean letting someone drunk text national secrets without consequences. Thatβs enabling.

If the Trump admin really wants to increase the population of America they should consider loosening immigration standards taking a leading role in a more open and collaborative global order.

Mo Goldman: The Fight Is Now.
Iβm Mo Goldman, and Iβm running for Congress in #AZ06.
Republicans are tearing this country apart β and too many Democrats are too afraid to stop them. Iβve spent 20+ years fighting for families as an immigration attorney. Now, Iβm taking that fight to Washington.

Wars of aggression are often entered into under serious misconception. This trade war is based on the belief that we have all the leverage. But...
The US buys $440 billion in Chinese goods per year.
And China currently owns $760 billion in US debt.
So who has the leverage?

HUNT: USMCA -- 15 months. South Korea -- 14 months. How can you do any single one of these trade deals in 90 days?

Nobody has been able to achieve parity this fast.
By forcing the US economy to shed the entire GDP of the many countries taking advantage of us in only days, Dear Leader Trump has created fairness where once there was imbalance.
