Especially given that the last truly bipartisan vote of this administration that I can remember was the extension to the BRAIN Initiative and the Next Generation Cures.

Fine for us to disagree but I really hate this argument. Putting children in cages, stoking racist fears, ignoring climate change, threatening women's reproductive freedom, on and on and on, are orders of magnitude more evil and are not erased by throwing a few dollars at science

Oh I don’t disagree with your sentiment about the repugnacity of the current administration/Republican party, only disagreeing with your assessment that the donation implies agreement with said policies. Climate change doesn’t get addressed without both parties at the table.

Never said donation = agreement, but it has very obvious and significant harms. It props up a party that needs to die, but won't so long as the uber-rich pay into it. The "seat at the table" argument has misplaced faith in liberal billionaires ability to weigh these tradeoffs.

Also, read the article, his donations are the largest he's ever given to the Republican party. It is critical that Dems control the house to begin investigations on a variety of Trump finances and crimes. At the very least, Allen should have sat this round out. It's indefensible.
