With traditional Democratic fundraising faltering, a quiet donor group called “The Huddle” is raising millions to push back on Trump — without technically engaging in politics.

But as @tschleifer tells @AliVitali on #WayTooEarly, this isn’t 2016 anymore — and the money just isn’t flowing the way it used to.

You don’t need to be a Democrat, Republican, or even human to know this is absolutely INSANE.

💰 A mega-donor threw $250,000 at Cuomo—not because he supported him—but just to stay on his “good side.”

🤝 This is how political power works in New York.

📜 Meanwhile, Kyra’s Law is STILL sitting in the NY Assembly—a bill that would protect children from being court-ordered into the custody of abusive parents.

NY children like Kyra Franchetti and Montrell Williams are being murdered.
⚖️ And the people in charge are more concerned with political insurance policies than protecting our children.

New York politics is broken.
😡 And if you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention.

🧠 For context: Theodore Schleifer is a journalist at Puck News who covers the intersection of money, power, and politics—especially how billionaires and big donors shape public policy behind the scenes.

A sunny afternoon in Nob Hill. ✨

Think about how hilly Nob Hill is. Now think about how heavy a camera backpack is. Now think about what 80 degrees feels like. That’s how sweaty I got. 😂

When I start to feel overwhelmed with fear and disgust with the extreme wealth inequality in our country (which has been happening a lot more often now) it helps me to turn to people who are discussing and addressing the issue. I recently re-listened to this episode about billionaires on the @theethicalrainmaker podcast talking to @tschleifer a reporter at a new publication @puckdotnews who writes about billionaires in America. The podcast was created by the incredible Michelle Shireen Muri the founder of Freedom Conspiracy and Co-Founder of @communitycentricfundraising Fundraising. This episode gave me information and facts to back up my concerns about billionaires and also to have hope to keep up the fight for a healthy, equitable and thriving society for all.

Check out Michelle’s work and services @theethicalrainmaker she’s got some workshops coming up!

I hope you give the podcast a listen and let me know your thoughts! I’d love to chat more with folks on this topic! I’m so glad there are people out there reporting on it!

From SF to DC to NYC, we had a great time last week finally sharing “World Eaters”—and Catherine Bracy’s take that mainstream VC is destroying more value than it creates—with the world.

Head to the link in our bio for our top takeaways from the book.
