#KochNetwork and OPEC are working on massive global famines.

So is the corrupt US Supreme Court.

UN: Conflict, climate change driving hundreds of millions into hunger

Report says more than 281 million people in 59 food-crisis countries and territories are facing high levels of acute food insecurity

^{Lisa Schlein (Voice of America (VOA News))}

The US Supreme Court is accomplishing by fiat what #KochNetwork could not accomplish through election interference.

It's a power grab by 6 unelected, unaccountable corrupt judges, on behalf of oligarchs who want to end American democracy and keep the right to fry the planet.

Oh, and tax cuts for billionaires.

Increasingly, taxing the rich becomes an imperative.

Otherwise, democracy's "Rule of Law' dies.

How Charles Koch Purchased the Supreme Court’s EPA Decision

Decades of contributions aimed at influencing the judiciary bought fossil fuel billionaire Charles Koch the EPA ruling he’s always wanted.

^{Sharon Lerner (The Intercept)}

The elections.

#KochNetwork will spend unlimited amounts to thwart a Democrat-controlled Senate to keep the "Court that Koch Bought"

To get the Supreme Court expanded, the election needs to be won and decidedly.

Sure hope the Democrats do better vetting this time to avoid a quisling like Sinema and Manchin.

‘Get the right cases to the supreme court’: inside Charles Koch’s network

Billionaire’s web of rightwing groups works to bring cases to court that could undermine core functionings of the US government

You have to give it to Judge Cannon.

Her persistent delusion that Republican megadonors like #KochNetwork will buy her a seat on the Supreme Court for her loyalty, like Brett Kavanaugh & Clarence Thomas, is kinda cute.

Watch what #KochNetwork does next.

They'll fund a right wing slate of politicians & judges to overturn it.

2/2

Only McDonalds & Walmart continue to have full time employees getting food aid. In effect, taxpayers subsidize operations of corporations.

5. It reduces domestic violence, mass shootings, & other crimes.

Only #KochNetwork, like the Claremont Institute or Fraser Institute, promote the idea that immiseration is sound economics.
