Monday BriefThe Monday Brief – The Billionaire Behind the Senate: How Larry Ellison Funds the War on Trump – June 1, 2026 The Senate’s blocking of Trump’s agenda is driven by donor networks—centered on Oracle’s Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair, whose Institute spent years building the case for an Iran regime-change war. Watch on YoutubeBarbara Boyd argues the Senate’s repeated blocking of Donald Trump’s agenda is driven less by narrow Republican margins than by powerful donor networks, focusing on Oracle founder Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair. She profiles Ellison’s major political spending (including backing Tim Scott, Lindsey Graham, and the NRSC) and links it to Senate leadership under John Thune, a longtime Mitch McConnell protégé aligned with the postwar globalist order. The episode claims Blair’s Tony Blair Institute—funded heavily by Ellison—spent years building a case for regime change in Iran, working through venues like CFR and UANI, but Trump limited action to strikes on nuclear infrastructure without regime change. Boyd says Blair is now rebranding via a “Radical Center” manifesto while advancing surveillance and digital ID models, and urges overwhelming midterm victories to “shock” or replace Senate obstructionists.00:00 The Monday Brief – The Billionaire Behind the Senate: How Larry Ellison Funds the War on Trump – June 1, 202601:34 The Money: Larry Ellison and the Senate04:23 Blair’s Empire: Forever Wars and the 2028 Agenda08:21 The Surveillance State They’re Building Support our Political Briefings!Keep our work fierce, fearless, and 100% independent by becoming a paid Promethean Action newsletter subscriber for just $10 a month.
