Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Tell Congress: Stop the ESA Amendments Act (H.R. 1897) - Western Watersheds Project

Tell your representatives to oppose this bill, which could come to a vote next week:

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

The Students at Ohio State University have been protesting against Les Wexner and want his name removed from the “Wexner Center for the Arts”,but nothing has been done so they covered the name up with a Banner that says “Redacted” like you see in the Epstein files! lets get 100k people here

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
