This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

“She’s worse than Epstein. She’s a monster… Epstein was Pinocchio, she was Geppetto.”

In a Nebraska meatpacking plant, ICE raids deport the diligent immigrant workforce sustaining operations, only for the firm to rehire from the same demographic amid labor shortages, as E Verify proves predictably impotent. #Immigration
