John,
Trump’s inauguration on Monday was stacked with billionaires on
billionaires, whose combined net worth adds up to $1.2 TRILLION.
[ [link removed] ]Tweet from The Nation: It’s fitting that the most notable image from
Donald Trump’s inauguration was a photo of the billionaires in a front
row, writes @lehmannchris. They are the true beneficiaries of Trump’s
second presidency.
Four of the five richest men in the world were in attendance after
shelling out millions of dollars to support Trump. They notably had even
better seats than Trump’s Cabinet, with many actual elected officials and
their spouses excluded from attending. Thanks to Citizens United,
corporations and billionaires have more power and influence over our
government than ever before.
What’s worse is that these right-wing billionaire CEOs control the largest
tech and social media companies that the public relies on for information
and communication: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok. All of
these platforms have become friendlier to the far-right, recently rolling
back fact-checking and hate speech protections in light of Trump’s
victory.
And we’ve all seen the pro-Trump propaganda pushed by TikTok in light of
the President promising to save it (despite being the one to propose
banning it in the first place). Trump is now suggesting one of his
billionaire donors Elon Musk or Larry Ellison should purchase it, which
would only worsen the misinformation and propaganda we’re seeing.

With billionaires buying access to the halls of power, kissing Trump’s
ring, and controlling the most widely-used social media platforms, we
desperately need more working-class leaders in Congress to fight back
against this oligarchy.
Justice Democrats is actively working to recruit and support as many
progressive candidates from working-class backgrounds to run for office as
possible in 2026 — but since we don’t take corporate PAC money, our
success depends directly on grassroots support from folks like you.
[ [link removed] ]With our February 1 fundraising deadline rapidly approaching, can we
count on you to pitch in $5 or more to ensure we reach our
$100,000 goal?
[ [link removed] ]Contribute $5
The more we raise now, the more working-class champions we can send to
Congress to take on the far-right elite and restore power to the people.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
