So, money buys elections. Way to go USA

💪🤬

All tax deductable I presume!

The GOP For Sale sign has been out since the end of the Cold War. And, it's why they never show up to Town Halls. They don't represent their constituents, just their donors. Thanks Citizens United for the new feudal lords!

HOW MANYS ZONISTS EXTREMISTS FASCISTS NAZI'S AND CAUCASIANS

How do we make this illegal?? It's so blatantly unethical. But how do we make it punishable by law.

Oh look, a Luigi guest list.

And this is how you buy a country. Thank you Citizen's United.

💯

It amazes me how they spend so much and so willingly to win an election but then never want to be taxed. Why not give back to the country that makes you rich? And why Bloomberg?

Bloomberg donated to Dems. observer.com/2025/03/mich...

Thank you. I misunderstood the graph.

Sez it all!

Timothy Mellon. What is a WASP doing donating to someone he wouldn’t have been caught dead having dinner with 10 years ago? Inherited money can be better spent on fixing things like climate change.

I’m so old I remember when a person couldn’t give more $2000 to a candidate. But look at that beautiful chart. What is more democratic than allowing these billionaires to buy elections!

Where is Thiel?

Call out the Democrats & purge them from our ranks.

The cheapest piker on the list is McMahon and she got a cabinet position. I wonder what everybody else got?

unfettered access or a passover by dogedoo

As long as Citizens United exists, American democracy doesn't.

I’m surprised at Michael Bloomberg

Democratic donation.

Voters are morons

Know who these people are, BOYCOTT THEIR BUSINESSES More than TESLA, ALSO The SANDS that owns the VENETIAN. COMprehensive Boycott list coming.

It’s really a shame Timothy Mellon went this direction considering his stepmother Bunny designed the White House Rose Garden and helped Jackie Kennedy decorate the more formal rooms. Fortunately, his family members don’t agree with his views per a 2018 Vanity Fair article.

In government...maybe not so much democracy.

It all about money, power and greed.

1 Million to someone with a net worth of 380 Billion, Is the equivalent of the Avg. American (with a net worth 380K) spending $1. Elon spent the Avg. American equivalent of $250 to buy a Presidency. Think about that. Repeal Citizens United!

I'd like to see his net worth put through the wood chipper.

It’s not what it means to his bank account…it’s what it means to the account he is giving it to. $250 may not mean anything to me, but to a person who can’t afford groceries it means a lot.

I think they should take the money ... register Republican ... vote Democrat.

Will spend millions to buy votes ... not a dime to improve America.

Musk is donating to House GOP.

musky BELONGS in that wood chipper.

It's the Houthi PC Large Group.

Imagine the good that could be done with all that money!

Bribery, it seems this word was missed.

Number 4 on this list is the couple that owns Uline. Buy your shipping/packing/warehouse supplies elsewhere!

Linda’s quarter mil got her somewhere 🤦🏼‍♂️

i love how soros didn't even make the list

Right??? Where is Soros?? Exhibit A: disinformation rises even if it is a lie.

Just think if that money went to a worthwhile cause like ending poverty or food/water scarcity how much better off everyone would be. Not just filling the pockets of fat cats hell bent in world destruction/domination.

End Citizens United

End the Heritage Foundation:

"10-4. Ending citizens. United, we shall overcome this scourge."

Musk is a liar.

I don't want to fly United, they are awful and lost my luggage so much

#4 is the U-Line Company so don't buy from them. Apparently they are very bad to work for also.

There has to be laws to limit the amount a person/corp can contribute legally ( and illegally!) to anyone’s campaign.

Wow! This is eye popping!

Shocking 😳

I know the message is supposed to be getting money out of politics but until we actually get money out of politics its somewhat problematic that he'll put up $1B to try to get himself elected but only $60M to others.

A Yass-man indeed.

See, buying a President is easy.

There should be no blue bars on that chart. Anyone that had the money to donate that much used Republican deregulation to "earn" it.

All done so they can have even more money.

Make America Grift Again

All the Jewish folks on this list ought to congratulate themselves for perpetuating fascism

Where are the donations from Rebecca Mercer? Why is she left out?

No money for universal healthcare or poverty prevention but unlimited money for elections. It's really fucked up.

We can thank SCOTUS for that. Turning our election system into an auction for the rich.

This is how oligarchy BUYS a country.

when will the release the list of donors that also received pardons? this will be a more interesting group of names to know

Thanks!!!

Has anyone meshed these names with P2025 people/companies? Curious

And what do they get for that?

Politicians have proven that they can spend campaign contributions faster than oligarchs can accumulate wealth. Few people are willing to impoverish themselves for an ideology. The problem isn't what oligarchs are willing to spend, it is how cheaply Americans are willing to sell their vote.

Bloomberg???

Donated to Dems.

Buy a country, pick a cabinet to destroy, all you need is a check over 7 million dollars and white skin but you best be European decent and ready to fuck up shit for anyone who makes less than you and who is different than you in a multitude of ways!

Over a trillion dollars funnelled by the top 7 donors into the Republican Party machine...first and too obviously, nobody gives away a trillion dollars without expecting at least that in 'quid pro quos'. But even more, imagine if they poured that money into education, health or social services?

Has donated big bucks to both Trump and Greg Abbott in TX. Hhmmmm…

Absolutely horrifying chart. This is not compatible with democracy and a free society

The Supreme Court will put an end to this corruption

Hope.

I like how this completely ignores Neil Gorsuch.

Yeah that is odd, I just noticed after you mentioned it. We need Mr. MacFarlane to chime in.

I don’t see George Soros anywhere

Read the text.

Hahaha I did, I just wanted to mention it incase other people didn’t read the text. Canadian people like to help others hahah

Mentioned in the note right under the title of the graph. I suspect there are a couple of people on both sides who don't show up for similar reasons. The absolute wealthiest are better at covering their tracks.

What's really odd about Musk is most wealthy people are also very good at covering their tracks when it comes to getting their way politically. They use lobbyists, foundations, science-for-hire "experts," & astroturf groups to get politicians to do their will, so they don't look like assholes.

Hypocrisy has no bounds with the Group of Pedo’s (GOP)

100% It's been 15 yrs since Citizens United allowed billionaires to secretly buy our elections via super PACs. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

I was just thinking that

The evidence is literally put in front our faces by those dumbasses

Seems they have brought the government

Sadly, Trump voters will never understand that he only survives with the support of a few billionaires. Everything he does has to be focused on benefitting those few. The millions who voted for him are irrelevant, and have to suffer for the few. If only enough of them had the intellect to see it.

They have sealed themselves into an epistemological bubble where they will never see it. They literally do not live in the same reality.

Yup. Facebook, Fox and X are all designed to hide such rudimentary information from these dolts. (Recall the PEW Research study that found people who didn't consume any news were better informed than Fox viewers.)

What’s the light blue mean

Where’s the rest? Incomplete list

This is bullshit. The fact of the matter is that 5 million of the people who voted for Biden in 2020 decided that their egos couldn't stomach voting for a black woman, and they made every excuse in the book to justify their ignorant decision. Money might help, but the problem is flakey voters.

Time to takedown Uline.

Remember her from the " Divide and conquer" advice she gave Scott Walker in WI ?

This doesn’t cover PAC

Don't forget Murdoch, alien tribute act Bezos and ZuckerBot or these guys...

And these guys... www.newsweek.com/american-bus...

The Yasses want to destroy public education

There is no definition of democracy that includes this.

So to be fair, the dems need to decide how they will deal with this themselves.

Even though we knew it it’s eye opening to see it written. Maybe it should also be called: How to buy a president in one easy step many times over.

I don’t see Soros on the leaderboard. 🤔😂

Imagine all the good things that could be done with this money.

How did they ever think this was going to be ok?

You mean *hijacking* democracy to turn it into an oligarchy.

Michael Bloomberg?!?!

Donated to Dems.

It’s clear that if the American people want to overthrow this oligarchic government, destroying everything related to Musk is a top priority. 👊🤡👊

How many have Israeli passports?

Surprised to not see a Mercer on this list.

Remember this list in case of a revolution. This revolution will start with cutting the head off the snakes.

We need major reforms in campaign money. No lobbyists. Limit on contributions.

Remember, all those "donators" expect one single thing; being able to a piece of the pie Uncle Elon is keeping for himself. Sooner than you think, Trump and Musk will cut even deeper into the foundation of the country to satisfy the appetite of those poor top donors. Your quality of life will suffer

They sound like tics.

Every time someone has the audacity to claim any b.s. about Soros, show them this chart immediately.

It has always been the grift and nothing but the grift

Citizens United and McCutcheons have been two of the worst blows inflicted upon the US by the Supreme Court in our nation's history. Until we can remove big money from elections, we're totally screwed.

I could live comfortably and help people just with the money the wrestling people donated. This is absurd

Notice how Peter Thiel is nowhere to be seen here, but his acolytes are.

Thanks for reminding me- I need to order some boxes- but NOT FROM ULINE.

They gave more than a hundred thousand families make in their entire lives, combined.

Every one of them woill have their taxes raised to 90% very shortly. They should know that. Because the alternative is a Revolution and they would lose a lot more. This way, they never miss a meal. Which they actually did to tens of thousands of children around the world.

You forgot to add the Soros gang...

Elon Musk bought the United State Presidency for $43.7 billion less than he paid for Twitter. Read that again...

Why billionaires shouldn't exist...

Why? That is socialist thinking.

Socialism is way better than what we have - where some are working and homeless while others have not only more than they need, but more than they could possibly ever spend.

So you want to take away money from someone who worked very hard to get their money? Not me.

They didn't work hard for it, other people worked hard for them to get it. Most inherited it. The people who work the hardest make the least. I have a hard time telling whether religion or capitalism is the worst thing humans ever invented/which I would choose if I could rid the world of 1 thing.

Though I'd end up picking "conservativism" as that would get rid of the worst aspects of both.

Apparently anything other than letting the richest assholes in the country control everything is socialism to you. Well it's not, moron.

I didn't say that. I do not want someone taking away any money that I worked hard to get. I do not like socialism nor communism. I work my ass off. Next time you call me a moron, your penis will have a terrible itch.

Simping for greedy assholes who make way more than they should and pay less than they should is a bad look...

I'm not simping for anyone. I'm stating an opinion which is different than yours.

It's an insane opinion. If you aren't rich now and live in the US, you are MUCH closer to being homeless than to being rich. Their money is on the scales against the (very shrinking) middle class and poor. Best solution was in 1790s France.

I do not agree with.

Interesting how George Soros is conspicuously absent from this list of top political donors. You can bet Republicans will be scratching their heads over that one.

Fine print explains why.

Start taxing political donations. Or pass a law that no person or organization can give more than they paid in taxes for the previous year.

if they kept that money, they'd all be that much richer. 🤷

delusion and denial are a dangerous combination and when you stir in greed and fear it gets quite volatile ....

Significant Zionist cohort

Good ol' Bloomberg who blew $500mil on a fake 5 month DNC political bid just to siphon votes from Sanders then dropped out when it was clear Sanders wouldn't get the nomination so that Biden would.

John Glover Roberts Jr. put us on this corrupt path with the 2010 Citizen United decision.

Get rid “(not so) Dark money “ from campaign finance/donations!

In Canada we have a limit of $1,750 per person per candidate. In "the greatest democracy in the world" you can buy your ticket to government and destroy it and the lives of millions of people.

And andreseen is not “leaning” - he is fully maga

I just need to understand why it’s ok for people that contribute massive amounts of money to a party can make decisions for that party. There has never been a clearer line than that when it comes to buying power. Such corruption it’s sickening.

The Supreme Court effectively invalidated the voices of the American people with Citizens United. From the Thomas/Scalia view, billionaires simply deserve more speech than the rest of us. "Originalism" was always about rolling back meaningful social protections to serve those in power.

PAY TO PLAY It’s as clear as day

They need to fear us more than they fear Trump! People…we need to take this back!

The people need to make these people feel the consequence of the decision to donate to the end of our nation! Make them feel fear like Trump makes our Congress and law firms feel. Make them back off during the next election cycle and say, “Not this time…it’s just not worth the hassle.”

>> Isn't it about time we started talking about... PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS ! Even spending billions of tax dollars on elections ...would cause much less damage ...than Citizens United. <<

Looks like a target list....

Found an article on Tim Mellon. He was born into generational wealth, never had to work, his whole life is a hand out. But he rails against the less fortunate than himself needing assistance www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Someone needs to give this list to Luigi.

Or an authoritarian. How about taxing the donations?

Mike Bloomberg? Wow.

Bloomberg was Democrat but still a lot of money to a political party.

USA, you have had decades to do something about this, but you just watched as it got worse and worse. This is the inevitable conclusion of what you allowed to happen on your watch. The question is, what are you going to do now?

Yep 😡

And this being legal in the first place is a big part of how America got here

Those bastards shouldn't have a moments peace. They should be looking over their shoulders every waking moment. Where are they now? We should be keeping track.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social

I saw a Forbes article that seems to paint a very different picture ($1.6B for Harris to $1.1B for Trump). Why the discrepancy? www.forbes.com/sites/kylemu...

Yep, Citizens United. The Supremes handed it to them!

💯

I don't know what you're so upset about. The USA has the best democracy money can buy!

Replaces a democracy

As an outsider, and having lived in the USA, it never ceased to amaze me how drawn out and wasteful elections are there. Limits on funding and implementing another method for timing could make a huge difference. Like many countries, UK elections are called and completed inside 6 weeks.

Imagine... All these people with all that campaign money to literally burn... investing it in legitimate, worthy causes. School lunch programs, Veteran's programs, homeless & mental health programs.

I love these list, makes it so easy for when the revolution comes…

And to think, that money could have been used to deal with socio-economic problems, but no, it just got spent on morons instead who want to perpetuate said problems...

They spent ALL of this money to get Republican politicians and America gets a bunch of clowns in red baseball caps destroying the foundations of our democracy. With the extent of their wealth, they could actually have done meaningful things to make America great. Instead, they kept a felon free.

Looks like a good list

This is why, without revolution, we will always be under their boot. Hear me. I know you're not going to like this because the very rigged system that educates us stupid, hammers the counter into your child brain. Hope is a weapon wielded upon us. It keeps you placid. Action is how fight and win.

The MAGA board of directors.

Just like in the 30s plenty of fellow Jewish donors shoveling money at the Nazi. We never learn.

I know! Very disappointed to see so many Jewish names on the traitor list.

If we ever get our democracy back, overturning Citizens United and other measures to limit money in politics would go a long ways.

We need to put a cap on political races.

Yeah and instead we keep hearing about Soros.

They keep attacking Soros bec MAGAites are stupid enough to believe any crap he hurls in their direction.

So, this is what they support

Is this from 2017? He established himself as a despicable person pretty early on.

Delete "has joined," insert "heads." Most of history's despots couldn't GAF what the people thought of them. But Diaper Donnie is OBSESSED with dictating the narrative, to make himself the most dearly beloved leader to ever sell his country down the river. Move over, Neville Chamberlain.

Getting beat by Muammar Gaddafi?! SMH Dude, you can do better than that.

He still has time.

He’s just getting warmed up. I am certain we will see Trump doing much worse.

Ya I thought Trump always wants to be number one but ya actually he is number two like a shit

This is the problem in politics. It's legal bribery.

America was for sale. Musk just exposed it to the world

Gee, I wish I had thousands of dollars I could just throw away.

Billionaires migrating to the Dark Side left &right. #ProfilesInCourage #DumpCitizensUnited #DumpFAUXEntertainment #KillSinclair #MakeRealityAConsensusAgain #OustTeamFelon47

Trump's pimps will be pissed! No happy ending.

Oh looky, a list for the next Luigi...

Michael Bloomberg?

Protecting their own. It’s a club and we are not included.

If this isn’t a case for tax the rich I don’t know what is 🙁

If, as SCOTUS claims, money is a form of free speech then these 7 are freer than the rest of us.

First against the wall when the revolution happens

Soros, the supposed Dem super donor, didn't crack the top 100, per this article. So much for the liberal evil overlord running the deep state.

Forefathers pledge at the end of Declaration of Independence was their willingness to sacrifice all for establishing our democracy, freedom & non-authoritarian rule. Not how they could become rich, powerful or manipulate it for self benefit! Service, not being served! Giving all, not taking all!

Cubs owners donate 33,000,000 dollars to fascism.

So now we know how Linda McMahon got the job! Vince & Linda McMahon the pedophiles!

There should be a limit to the amount of money one person can contribute to a campaign. Money is power allowing Musk to purchase the last election. These last 4 months do not represent the American people values. This is the 1% values.

I didn’t think Michael Bloomberg would give to trump. Disappointing

He is Bi. He gives to both parties.

He didn’t. Blue shaded - the highest democrat leaning funding.

Some are obvious, but is there a list of what companies these donors are associated with so I can boycott them all?

There's an app - Goods Unite Us, where you can see all of that

To this Canadian, it's always mind-boggling how the influence of $ in US politics is not more contested. In Canada, the highest number on that chart would be 1750$. Doesn't matter if you're a billionaire, that's the cap. Fix that, you'll fix your democracy.

The Citizens U tied case changed all that and is the reason we are where we are today. It needs to be overturned.

Wait a minute! Sorts isn't even on this list! Lol

Soros (auto-correct, grrr)

If you want to look for people or places to boycott, this should help. I'll just point out that U-LINE, the shipping-and-supply company, is privately owned by the Uihleins: third on the list, anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-Union. Encourage your workplace to stop buying from them. Find alternatives.

Citizens United opened the door AMERICA IS FOR SALE !!

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG?!

Donated to Dems

Money made back in government contracts? 🤔

Entrenches and further enriches.

This will remain until we can pass a constitutional amendment saying: Money is not speech but is property.

Dox them all..

Silly sums of money - there’s a saying A fool and his money are easily parted

Donnie is an oligarch's wet dream - an idiot who is easily manipulated but thinks he's a genius and great deal maker.

So glad our donation cap is $1,000

Why would any Dems give so much as a nickel to Trump?🤔

Donations to both R (red) and D (blue) are on this list.

Frigthening.....

Where is George Soros cuz maga is constantly telling us Soros is responsible for everything so where are his donations

In Canada there are limits

As opposed to the dems who are famously not all about the corporate donors?

Imagine if all this money was donated to a good cause.... the world would be a much better place.

Looooooooong past time to get rid of Citizen's United ruling from the corrupt Supremes.

Justice Kennedy Fucked Up.
