The New York Times reports that "a subsidiary of Life Corporation called Voice Broadcasting Corp., which identifies Mr. Monk as its founder on its website, has received numerous payments from the Republican Party’s state committee in Delaware, most recently in 2022, as well as payments from congressional candidates in both parties."

That's nice. The robocalls were sponsored by politicians. Can we please throw them in prison to rot for corruption now? No? Is that hoping for too much?

The US has become such a fucking deregulated hellscape and I hate that Canada is following their lead.

Canada has the Pierre Poutine robocall scandal years ago. Only a junior staffer was sentenced to 9 months in jail. Pierre Poutine was never found.

Republicans take election fraud very seriously. I'm sure they will be taking swift action here. 🤡
