$517M already spent on midterms and we're not even close. That's more than the entire 2024 cycle.

Crypto, AI, betting firms — all flooding in. Musk $90M+. Brin dropped $106M just fighting a wealth tax. AI super PACs threw $23M at one House primary most people never heard of. Betting apps $72M trying to outrun regulation.

Most of it flows through anon nonprofits. No fingerprints. No loyalty. Just: back us or we'll end you.

Total price tag looking like $11.6B. New money writing new rules. This is what power actually looks like now.
