Heads up. Money in politics - from pharmaceuticals, for example.

Big money donations to US senators. Does not look good.

"The pharmaceutical industry has a significant influence on U.S. politics, with many members of Congress receiving substantial campaign contributions from pharmaceutical company PACs. In the 2023-2024 election cycle, six members of Congress received at least $100,000 from the pharmaceutical/health products industry, including Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, who received $233,566. Other notable recipients include Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., $320,793; Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., $244,135; Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., $196,635; Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., $187,096; and Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., $106,778. These contributions highlight the industry's ongoing efforts to influence healthcare policy and legislation."
