Just a couple of weeks ago, Hillary Clinton announced her return to politics, but not via the run for New York City mayor that some had reportedly been buzzing about behind the scenes. Instead, she’d be doing what Clintons do best: amassing large piles of money through her new organization, Onward Together.

There must be someone left who held back a couple of bucks from her presidential run.

So now we know the name of the slush fund that will keep Chelsea Clinton's campaign staff employed until she decides what to run for.

Clinton announced that Onward Together, comprising former aides and donors, would help fund groups that have impressed her since her 2016 loss. In a series of tweets Monday, she announced the winners of the lottery.
The last few months, I've been reflecting, spending time with family—and, yes, taking walks in the woods.

We're launching Onward Together to encourage people to get involved, organize, and even run for office. https://t.co/8exooosvZ5

More than ever, I believe citizen engagement is vital to our democracy. I'm so inspired by everyone stepping up to organize and lead.

Those are just a few of the groups Onward Together will support, working with @GovHowardDean and others—stay tuned for more to come.

Howard Dean’s involved? It’s difficult to repress the maniacal scream of enthusiasm welling up in our souls, but we’ll do it.
This year hasn't been what I envisioned, but I know what I'm still fighting for: a kinder, big-hearted, inclusive America. Onward!
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 15, 2017
“Onward!” sounds like something the queen’s chariot driver would shout as he whipped the horses into action … which makes it perfect. What are the chances some of that money ends up back in Hillary’s own campaign coffers?

Hillary Clinton’s vision was pretty clear: to ride on her predecessor’s coattails while enjoying the title of first woman president.
Clinton’s supporters are thrilled that she’s back, and Trump supporters are giving her high marks as well, for jumping back into the public eye just when the media had convinced the national that James Comey’s firing spelled the end of the Trump presidency.

Clinton's new tag line is: “Resist, insist, persist, enlist.” No more, "if you work hard and play by the rules…"

Dems have no bench to speak of so Grandma's grand plan is to ask for money and stand at grocery stores begging people to run for office.

Hillary not going away is the best news for Trump this month.

You're a Democrat with only $25 to donate. Are you donating to the DNC or Hillary's new PAC named, "Fuck you pay me"?
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 15, 2017
Hillary's new PAC has been aptly titled Give Me Your Money You F***ing Ingrates PAC
