Corporations and the ultra-wealthy donated a record-breaking $239 million for Trump’s inauguration. Trump gets a big party. Donors get nominated for Cabinet jobs. Corporations get billions in taxpayer-funded government contracts. Working people get screwed.

Make no mistake - we're living through an oligarchy. Whether it grabs hold & remains depends on us & our votes. youtu.be/yVK75OHqDXo

WaPo gave a great list. These billboards are making themselves. Dems need to be making billboards and postcards of this and distributing everywhere!

And like last go, much of the money was likely pocketed.

The money they paid is paying off. Pilgrim's Pride chicken paid lots, in exchange safety requirements like reducing salmonella are gone. Auto manufacturers are grateful for looser safety requirements. Too bad US doesn't have laws against corruption and bribes. Used to, but our laws are dead.

How much did the Inauguration cost? So he’s left with a slush fund of what? Here’s an idea-why doesn’t Congress pass a law to make this illegal?

You'll have to impeach the entire administration because JD Vance is even more evil.

Step by step. Also, would we really have been worse off with Pence. In hindsight would he honestly have been worse? We don’t know that. The point is to stop the power grab. We need to get behind this and let the scared politicians know it’s him or them.

Working people getting screwed is the national anthem of corporate America. But nobody higher up cares.

People who are wealthy, for the most part, are wealthy because that is what they focus on. Not fulfillment, or happiness, or serving - just being wealthy. So this makes perfect sense.
