Trumplandia wants the shackles on election money completely removed
The Solicitor General won't defend the federal statute that limits the amount of money that a political party can spend on an election campaign in coordination with a candidate, saying it violates the First Amendment. Recommends #SCOTUS grant review, appoint amicus to defend law
https://rooseveltins ute.org/publi...5-years-later/While the 2024 election cycle set new records for billionaire spending, it did so in step with a broader trend. As Figure 1 shows, presidential elections have seen steadily rising spending from the ultra-wealthy for more than a decade. At the same time, the interests of the most affluent citizens and special interest groups have come to dominate policymaking, while the preferences of the average citizen have comparatively little discernable impact on policy outcomes (Gilens and Page 2014).
How did billionaires come to wield such outsized influence in our political system? This new era of unprecedented political spending by the ultra-wealthy can be traced back to the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which allowed unlimited money to pour into elections. Over 80 percent of the total amount spent by billionaires during the 2024 election cycle was spent through channels that were prohibited prior to Citizens United,while overall billionaire spending in elections has multiplied by a factor of 163 since the ruling (Tashman and Rice 2025). Meanwhile, over the same period of time, American democracy has been in decline. Public satisfaction with the way democracy is working in the US has reached record lows (Jones 2025), and experts now classify the US as a “flawed” rather than “full” democracy (The Economist 2024).

El0n exfiltrated our personal data and compromised US government IT too
Hope he gets a hanging jury
Those three months or so El0n was in charge of OPM, Treasury payments and the GSA were cray
It’s like there is this straight line from Citizens United to “richest man in the world buys himself unfettered access to the Treasury”
(without Musk giving ~$290 million to Trump in the summer/fall of 2024, that doesn't happen)
half a billion AI spend in the midterm elections at least
"massive returns by buying government outright"
