1. Undocumented money paid for a million yard signs for Trump in Western PA.

A million pro-Trump and anti-Harris yard signs were disseminated here in Western Pennsylvania a week before the November 2024 election. Undocumented money, which I think indirectly came from Putin, paid for the manufacturing of the signs, the distribution of them, and in some cases the staking of them into the ground. The effectiveness of the yard sign bandwagon effect was substantial here in Western Pennsylvania.

2. Every citizen should read Jane Mayer's Dark Money.

It details the Number One problem in American politics today, which is actually legalized bribery.

It's the reason we always have plenty of money in the budget to give perks to our richest citizens, but can't find money for the regular folk.
