I've never given any money in response to a text or email. I worry about scam organizations and I won't support the paid fundraising. Go directly to the candidates website or find someone like @samwang.bsky.social to find some good analysis of where your money will do the most good.

At last a small bit of good news. it’s possible to preserve public health. But we have to fight for every inch. In 2027, let’s pressure Congress to use all its powers to stop this reckless force of malevolence, RFK Jr.

I think this is the cleanest argument and has the bonus of allowing us to declare a bunch of other garbage invalid, though I don’t think you can get even a packed court to go for it but as a matter of actual letter of law Robert is right, he’s disqualified
