A Biden ad blitz so bold
Has no precedence, we're told
Their Super PAC with cash
Spent thirteen million in a flash
In the fight for reelection, a hold

Worth a read. But seems bit of a disconnect between headline, claim is a 'whale'..and the relatively small donation. undoubtedly a vehicle for the right.

"Billionaire GOP donor.. donated $5,000 to the super PAC on June 12. The Dallas-based real estate mogul had been dubbed a “whale” by No Labels on its fundraising documents, which indicate that he has recruited dozens of donors to the dark money group, according to The New Republic".

3/
Dissolving the States would allow for interesting and varied cultures to emerge; and that reflect what residents appreciate rather than that of a State that is easily corrupted by a few from the likes of the (a highly active /lobby group for moguls in Australia).

The big risk of going local is from that may seek to use their wealth to overwhelm Local Governments, but…

TL;DR: Robert F Jr's presidential campaign is basically built and organized by various pro- operatives with ties to folk like MTG and George Santos, and Herschel Walker.

Which doesn't necessarily mean that RFKjr is himself a Trump supporter. Just that a lot of wealthy Trump supporters are rooting for and financially supporting his candidacy. Wonder why?

What do you think? Are State Govts replaceable?

@Thx4SharingJerk Maybe we should start a SuperPAC. We could call it the "Less Corruption Or At Least Let Us Be Part Of It Please" SuperPAC. Or "Get NASA To Shoot the NRA Into The Sun" SuperPAC.

So Sam Bankman-Fried has been indicted. But what does the actually charge? And what is the real life accusation, who are the victims?

NEWS: The Federal Election Commission passed a new digital ad disclosure rule that requires anyone who pays to place political advertising on the internet to disclose who is paying for the ad.

But a recent revision pulls back earlier language requiring those who promote them to disclose if they are being paid to do so.
