Tech oligarchs have "allied themselves with the most unpopular president in recent history," says @billmckibben.bsky.social. It's time for Dems to stop the "small ball" and "be more aggressive." Jon Ossoff is a model here.

Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee on March 12, 2024, and within days, he started creating new companies and slapping his name on products.
He hasn't stopped since. The tally now stands at 81 new businesses—36 since taking office (he started two more while I was drafting this report)
