John,
If you’ve ever felt like billionaires and giant corporations are calling the shots in America… you’re not imagining it.
Summer Lee just went on Intercepted to talk about what they are calling “the great American heist.” Trump’s megabill is handing trillions to the ultra-rich – the biggest wealth transfer in history – while working families can’t afford rent, groceries, or medicine.
But here’s what makes Summer different: She’s not just calling it out. She’s fighting back.
That’s why she introduced her Abolish Super PACs bill – to finally get dark money and billionaire megadonors out of our politics for good. Because how can we ever build a democracy that works for us if billionaires can just buy elections in secret?
But she’s not stopping there.
She also introduced the OLIGARCHS Act to tax extreme wealth and fight back against America’s slide into plutocratic authoritarianism – because no one person should have the power of a nation’s entire working class combined.
This excerpt says it all. Summer is naming what too many politicians are afraid to even whisper:
And just this week alone, Summer:
Introduced the HOMES Act to crack down on corporate investors and Wall Street landlords buying up local homes and driving up prices – making sure families in our communities can actually afford to live here.
Introduced a new bill to protect lawmakers from violence and retaliation while they conduct essential oversight and accountability work – because threats of violence have no place in a democracy.
Summer is leading on ALL fronts – taking on billionaires, corporate landlords, political violence, and dark money in our democracy all at once.
But here’s the hard truth: These same powerful interests are spending millions to defeat her. They want to silence leaders like Summer because they know she can’t be bought.
Summer doesn’t take a dime of corporate PAC money. She relies entirely on people like us chipping in what we can to keep her fighting in Congress.
Because the truth is, if we want leaders who work for us instead of billionaires, we have to have their backs.
We can’t let billionaires buy our democracy out from under us. Not while we still have leaders like Summer fighting for us every single day.
Thank you for believing in this movement.
–Team Summer
