A cartoon depicts several dinosaurs on a prehistoric landscape under a blue sky with scattered clouds. In the background, a bright white-orange asteroid streaks diagonally across the sky toward the ground, leaving a glowing trail. In the foreground, a Tyrannosaurus rex stands upright with its mouth open, with a white speech bubble next to its head containing the text: “Oh shit! Just like the scientists predicted.” Nearby, a few smaller dinosaurs look on, standing on a grassy plain with some low vegetation and rocky hills behind them.

Rolling Stone excerpt about Montana’s ballot initiative to combat Citizens United

A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do.

So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.
The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.
