If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts.
If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare.
That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.
Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Women resisting oppression are often called troublesome before history calls them courageous. Change has always required women willing to disturb the comfort of systems that depended upon their silence. #Pinks 📨✨

CBSMiami obtained the grand jury report, and jurors concluded $10 million in taxpayer money was misappropriated as part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities.” Ashley Moody knew about the plan and authorized the settlement.

Horrendous...
Trump just grabbed $8B in Pentagon R&D money and a $130M billionaire ❝gift❞ to keep troops paid during the shutdown — without Congress. He’s daring anyone to stop him while he rewrites who controls federal money. This is not just ❝support the troops.❞ It’s ❝the president controls the purse now.❞ ⚠️🪖
![❝There’s no congressional authorization for troop payment for this new fiscal year. So[,] it’s going pretty far out on a legal limb, and just sort of daring anybody to do anything about it. Because, of course, substantially, nobody thinks it’s very bad to pay the troops.❞
Phil Wallach, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, in Chris Stein, The Guardian, Sun. 26-Oct-2025
❝Last week, Trump acted unilaterally, repurposing a reported $8bn in defense department funds meant for research and development to pay the military… If you try to spend money you have on the wrong purpose, you’re in trouble. And if you try to spend money into a purpose that you don’t have money for that purpose, then you’re in trouble as well… [It’s] super duper duper illegal.❞
Bobby Kogan, former White House Office of Management and Budget official and current Center for American Progress analyst, Ibid
❝On Thursday, Trump said an unnamed ❛friend❜ had contributed $130m to pay service members… The donation was made on the condition that it be used to offset the cost of Service members’ salaries and benefits.❞
Sean Parnell, Pentagon spokesperson, Ibid
❝I’m just not sure if a future administration would have the appetite to bring career government officials … for complying with something even if they knew that it was illegal.❞
Christopher Mirasola, University of Houston law professor, Ibid
❝If the president can just completely ignore anything and everything, can spend money into existence, he can drain accounts and use them on whatever he wants… Like, what are we even doing there? That makes you an appropriations king.❞
