WHY THIS EXISTS
BOTH SIDES PAY

Same donors. Both parties. Same outcomes.

AIPAC funds Pelosi ($3.2M) AND Cruz ($1.9M). Goldman Sachs funds Schumer AND McConnell. PhRMA funds both sides of drug pricing. Different jerseys, identical policy outcomes.

THE ROI

They're not donations. They're investments.

Koch Network: $2.9M donated to McConnell. Return: $1.9 trillion in tax cuts. That's a 655,172x ROI. PhRMA: $2.1M to kill drug pricing negotiation worth $450 billion. Every dollar has a return.

THE MACHINE

Donors. Lobbyists. Think tanks. Media. One pipeline.

The same money that buys the politicians funds the think tanks that write the policy, the lobbyists who deliver the ask, and the media personalities who manufacture public consent.

FEATURED INVESTIGATIONS

The Cuba Fuel Blockade

On March 16, 2026, Cuba's power grid collapsed. Ten million people went dark. The cause: a U.S. fuel blockade managed by Secretary of State Rubio — whose career was funded by the Fanjul sugar dynasty, the family that directly benefits from eliminating Cuban agricultural competition.

The Nuestra America Convoy

650 people from 33 nations delivered 20+ tons of humanitarian aid to Cuba. Within 72 hours, the donor class that profits from the embargo launched a coordinated media-political attack to punish them. The same politicians who receive anti-Cuba lobby money led the charge.
