IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

"I'm not asking the Congressman a question, I'm making a statement." Jon Ossoff demanded Mike Collins explain why he repeatedly voted for tariffs that spiked gas, groceries, and power bills while doubling health insurance premiums for 1M+ Georgians. Collins owes answers.

#CostOfTrumpsCorruption Imagine being so sure voters would hate your plan that you hide it until Nov. 4th. That’s reportedly the deal on abortion pills, mail delivery, even travel across state lines. You’ve got a ballot and a few weeks. Be the surprise they didn’t plan for.

CORRUPT!!! Trump is actively trading bonds -- over $100 million since Jan 1 per the Office of Government Ethics, in banks and local governments his White House affects. He wins or loses personally on how they perform. That’s corruption, and families can’t afford its cost.  #CostOfTrumpsCorruption
