Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The problem with American media, it’s all owned by fascist oligarchs, so Americans only get fed propaganda. The whole American system is owned by ultra conservatives and the super wealthy, America has become a plutocracy. The average American is screwed because of 40 years of trickle down economics.
