- Refuse to disclose their actual revenue
- "Leak" overstated numbers to the press
- Repeatedly push back the listing date
- Raise huge "bridge" financing rounds
- Claim existential risk to get gov monopoly protection

when the racist trillionaire with a breeding cult and a child porn bot is funding your opposition you should say something about it
I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races?

We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did.

Guess which time they won by double digits?

America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

I think it’s bad the President continues to sell access and grift via his shitcoin.
We are so far from normal that even this blatant and obvious corruption from a POTUS has been mainstreamed.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong.
