Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

For a decade, Trump has targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar with grotesque, racist rhetoric that has fueled threats against her. This federal raid on her home is a dangerous escalation. Rep. Omar has done nothing to warrant this kind of intimidation.

READ THE MOMENT. MOVE THE PEOPLE. Friday Power Lunch, 10/9 Noon ET. RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/fpl2026b

This week on the Friday Power Lunch, we talk about two forces that shape politics long before anyone casts a ballot: The stories people believe and the groups they belong to.

How do people come to believe what they believe, and how do we reach them when identity, fear, belonging and political messaging all collide? How do we move people toward action before November?

Daniella Mestyanek Young - author, Army combat veteran, cult survivor and researcher of group behavior, extremism and leadership demagoguery. Her book, The Culting of America, examines how coercive group dynamics show up far beyond traditional cults, including in political movements and trusted institutions. Knitting Cult Lady: https://knittingcultlady.com/pages/about

Antonia Scatton - political messaging expert and author of Reframing America. On how Dems can communicate more effectively, why simply repeating facts is not enough, how better messaging can help reach people beyond the already-convinced. https://antoniascatton.com/about/

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
