We obtained documents detailing the abundance movement's "capital stack."
It's $260 million/year, including $100 million from former Microsoft CEO/LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who hadn't been listed as an abundance donor before.
The documents show Silicon Valley's role bankrolling the movement.
Is this #Abundance?
Predatory millionaires & billionaires in Big Tech, Big Oil, Big Timber—whatever industry—are pushing the "Abundance Agenda" to roll back bedrock environmental & community protections. This is precisely what they want: To do whatever they desire, even if the public says f*ck no.
Wondering if Dems are being fooled into deregulation by Big Tech under the innocuous banner of #Abundance? Wonder no more.
Self-styled billionaire "elites" are shoveling money into politics in all 50 states with one goal in mind: Silencing the public and doing whatever they want.

Ezra Klein is doing oligarchic propaganda the right way.

Exhausting nonsense feat. longtime fossil fuel pushers.
Yes—it's hard to change the world for the better, to realize policies that actually meet the scale of public and planetary needs!
But that doesn't mean backsliding is justifiable politically, scientifically, or morally.
Anyone need a bit of good news? I do.

We will fight this in the full Senate.

Climate change is, in fact, a kitchen table issue.
The Prospect has obtained a fundraising pitch and historical manifesto from inside the movement.
Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸
