What do you mean Democrats don’t mention CEO salaries? I know there are lots of Democrats who point to CEO salaries across all industries, healthcare included, as the driver behind inflationary costs and the widening economic divide of services available

State Level DOGE Inspired Task Forces Watchlist

As of 2025 state and county level task forces begun popping up across the United States. While some have picked less conspicuous official names such as “Red Tape Relief Project” and “Fiscal Responsibility Program,” all were announced as “DOGE-inspired.”
There is 100% a reason a gigantic shadow network of wealthy individuals linked to the heritage foundation is quietly pushing policies at state levels across the country while hiding behind claims of small government and transparency.
By the time the federal government completely collapses they will have everything in place to start over with their new network of support built and ready to go: New laws, new military forces, a new secret police (DOGE task forces), and a new America created to protect the interests of the wealthiest individuals and corporations on the planet. This has been in the works for decades, and even if we can't stop them, we should not be quiet about this, and we should definitely not be making things any easier on them. When you see something, make some noise and help me call this shit out!
Current list of state task forces that are constantly growing:
•Florida
•Georgia
•Iowa
•Kansas
•Kentucky
•Louisiana (Fiscal Responsibility Program)
•Missouri
•Montana (Red Tape Relief Project)
•New Hampshire
•North Carolina
•North Dakota
•Oklahoma
•South Carolina
•Tennessee (State level and at least one county level in Hamilton County)
•Texas
•Wisconsin
This is a place to report or discuss any news related to these groups or for news and discussion of any corruption going on at smaller levels. Even outside of the United States. If you have an example of smaller level corruption that needs to be called out, drop it here.

Certainly not enough of them. Especially not on smaller levels.
It's a sad fact, but even though so many Democrats claim to be anti establishment, many are in fact part of the establishment and receiving giant donations from banks and corporations.
It's one of the first things AOC pointed out when she was elected.
On the other hand so many Republicans claim to love small government and transparency, but many are also getting funded at the state level by some very shady corporations and groups like SPN and the heritage foundation.
The SPN is a network created by one of the earliest funders of Heritage Foundation. They use money to influence policy at the state level to make it seem like small government and representative of individuals in the state, but really it represents interests of some very powerful people and their corporations.
I'm not saying any of this as an attack on people with views that lean democratic or Republican. I only point it out because we all need to shift away from the idea of treating politics and politicians as a sports team that we have to support bc they're representing "our team."
Its kind of a sunken cost fallacy to keep supporting a team that won a championship decades ago when you realize lately they seem to be throwing a lot of games. Except with sports it is a team paid to represent a local city or state.
Politicians are humans like anyone else. There's good and bad ones and they're capable of corruption and change just like anyone else.
Black and white thinking is what got us here and what keeps dividing us as a country while individuals continue to profit from it.
Because the cruelty is the point
