The Supreme Court has erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president, striking down a federal election law that's more than 50 years old.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president, striking down a federal election law that is more than 50 years old.

Prodded by a Republican-led lawsuit that includes Vice President JD Vance, the court’s conservative justices were again in the majority of the latest decision that upended congressionally enacted limits on raising and spending money to influence elections. The court’s 2010 Citizens United decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal elections.

    Fuck these fucking fuckers. Corrupt down to the last one of them. I hope they enjoy the heat when this country starts to burn.

    Also wanna remind them that when the apocalypse happens due to them letting these fascist fucks do whatever they want, that they are going to be worthless. All their greed and ass-kissing and possessions won’t matter dick. And everyone knows during an apocalypse, the worthless are the first to go.
