Google: OpenSecrets Dark Money Basics Wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, soon to be the first trillionaire, can donate unlimited amounts of money to influence American elections. Dark money is used for political advertising to sway voters. It has to stop! Overturn Citizens United! 😤

Elon Musk & the billionaire class can literally buy votes in Congress/bribe members of Congress with dark money. And heavily influence elections with distorted political ads! We live in an oligarchy where wealth means power. This is NOT how a democracy is supposed to work! 😡

Here’s my pick, JAMES TALARICO for the Texas Senate seat, a young man with the energy & moral clarity to take on the corruption in American politics. I’ll be working for him, for sure! Let’s win this thing 💪🏻

Here is another of my favorites, Ro Khanna, progressive Congressional Representative in CA District 17. He recently challenged Elon Musk with the independently verified data that gutting USAID likely resulted in the deaths of about 4M children. He’s smart and hopefully considering a run for POTUS!
