Nobody should have this much power

First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

The cost of everything from groceries and gas to housing and childcare is going up because of choices made by Donald Trump's administration. Those choices have consequences. So do elections. The midterms are our chance to elect leaders who will fight for the people.

Elon Musk is a threat to democracy both here at home and abroad. He ordered the slowdown of the military version of Starlink, which the Ukrainians need in their war of survival against the Russian invaders. And then Musk lied about it on his X, the extremist sewer that was once known as Twitter.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% 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.

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.
