I checked Senate Majority PAC’s FEC filings. Abdul El-Sayed says he wants to “get money out of politics.” Schumer’s super PAC is putting $30 million behind him after receiving $61 million from a dark-money nonprofit that hides its donors, $9 million from Soros’s Democracy PAC, $9 million from Fred Eychaner, and millions more from other billionaires. Don’t lecture anyone about money in politics while a $61 million black box and a roster of billionaires are spending $30 million to put you in the Senate.

David Axelrod calls Natalie Harp’s relationship with Donald Trump an “unsettling” taxpayer-funded co-dependency. When Valerie Jarrett had extraordinary access to Barack Obama, Axelrod praised her “unique relationship with the president” and “deep understanding of him.” Apparently presidential confidantes become unsettling when Axelrod doesn’t like the president.

Hey Bernie Sanders, let me explain this slowly. Musk built SpaceX and helped build Tesla into enormous companies. His fortune is overwhelmingly tied to his ownership stakes in them. Larry Page and Sergey Brin created Google and invented the PageRank system that helped turn it into one of the most valuable companies on earth. Their wealth comes largely from the stock they still own. Jeff Bezos started Amazon in his garage in 1994 and still owns about 8% of it. Michael Dell started selling computers from his dorm room at 19 and built Dell into a global technology company. Their wealth didn’t magically appear because Trump won an election. The market value of businesses they created went up, so the value of their ownership went up. And you, Bernie? You spent most of your adult life in politics, collecting government salaries and lecturing everyone else about people who actually built something. You didn’t create Google. You didn’t create Amazon. You didn’t build Dell. You didn’t put rockets into orbit. But you sure are good at counting everybody else’s money.
