"A small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires & venture capitalists have concluded that democracy is in their way — & that they should be governing in its place."
"Their fringe ideologies [are now] in the White House." DOGE was one, cutting USAID, another.
“They have so much money, they can turn these weird ideas into policy & cause tremendous damage.”
