Billionaire spending in the midterm elections is on track to DOUBLE what they spent four years ago. I need everyone to realize that there's a direct correlation between billionaires buying elections and the fact that this economy only works for them. Tax the rich.

A Republican senator warned that degrading Ukraine’s defenses might be “aiding and abetting a mass murderer.” Musk blames Trump, the White House blames Musk, and Ukraine counts the cost. My write-up in the link in the comments.

Elon Musk just poured $366 MILLION into the midterm election cycle. That's more than he spent to get Trump elected. It's also less than 0.04% of his fortune. Pocket change to buy a Congress that will give him more tax breaks and shut down investigations into his businesses.
