The central issue in the US election and elections worldwide is corruption writ large-a system that only works to serve the rich at the expense of everyone else, a system in which politicians and the rich are in bed together and yet screwing the rest of us. Affordability and corruption are the same.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Naturally, strings are attached. The most obscenely wealthy man in the world buying government influence. If you, to any degree, follow the reporting of his words and actions, you understand his goals include oppression and squeezing more of your money for his absurd bank accounts.

Trump puts RFK Jr (who abused his former wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy – driving her to suicide with his chronic infidelity, psychological bullying, gaslighting, and physical abuse) *in charge of women's health*. If Jeffrey Epstein were alive Trump would put him in charge of children's health.

Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Musk holds more wealth than 53% of American households. That is not democracy. That is not justice. He built his foundation using communal infrastructure and programs, and leveraged it to enrich himself, to the detriment of the general populace. He has bought and used our legislators for his means.

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

Taylor: He has turned the presidency into a side hustle. He has turned the White House into a deposit box for bribes, and he has turned your government into, forgive my words, a fucking ATM machine. So no, we don't want his name on the buildings.

Any adult who's been paying attention and knows basic human psychology knows this is true. And all Trump has to do is publicly deny this and demand to see Russia's and Israel's proof. But he will never do that, not in a million years – because he also knows it's true.

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

Imagine going into the service thinking your job was going to be to protect the country and then finding out your real job is to lie to the public to protect the image of a foolish and mendacious president.

Yikes. In a desperate-sounding video, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper insists the Strait of Hormuz is “controlled by the United States… not Iran” and “open for business,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

They asked Iran if they could bomb them without retaliation just to make Trump look better before the election?! JFC.

Friday night. The time to sneak through the things you know the public will hate. Also the ones that are probably illegal and traitorous. Trump is opening the floodgates of support for the Kremlin, Putin, their illegal aggression against Ukraine...and their aid to Iran in their war against us.

Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago: “I don't know how he’s not in an institution somewhere, whether it’s jail or a nuthouse. He’s a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasn’t a lie.” Trump has only gotten worse since.

Tax wealth, not work. It is those who have benefited the most from the common infrastructure and programs who bear the greater responsibility for it's continuance and improvement.

Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum. That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's billionaires.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social

The people in charge handed the richest 1% a $1 TRILLION tax break last year. Now those same billionaires have spent $1.7 BILLION on the midterms. Which came first? The politicians currying favor by passing tax cuts? Or the billionaires bankrolling those who will favor them?

Jack Jackson reposted

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable. But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.
