Google co-founder Sergey Brin has now pumped over $100M into stopping California's billionaire tax ballot initiative. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?

Trump bought up to $5M in Axon stock, a taser company, two weeks before ICE sought a contract for tasers. He’s also bought stock in Palantir, Dell, and Nvidia — all of whom have been awarded massive government contracts. Has a president ever profited so brazenly from the office?
