  6. "The Concord Fund — Leo’s confirmation-campaign vehicle — has given RAGA $18.8 million since 2014, including $2 million in the first half of 2024, making it RAGA’s largest single donor. Koch Industries, the American Petroleum Institute, and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers have written six-figure checks. The circuit closes at every connection point."

  7. "CRC Advisors, the firm Leo controls, took in $24.9 million from Leo’s 85 Fund in 2023, with $80 million flowing from the network to CRC since Leo took over the firm in 2020.

    The fossil fuel industry’s entry into this network runs through the Republican Attorneys General Association, which has received $5.8 million from oil-and-gas companies and their lobbying groups since 2020 alone."

  8. "The Trust gave $153 million to Leo’s Rule of Law Trust in 2021. The Rule of Law Trust gave $36.3 million in grants to allied organizations in 2020 alone, with the Concord Fund — formerly the Judicial Crisis Network, the organization that ran the campaigns to confirm Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett — as the largest single beneficiary."

  9. "Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has tracked the pipeline across multiple investigations. Leonard Leo’s Marble Freedom Trust, established in 2020, controls a $1.6 billion dark-money fund."

  10. Leonard Leo has spent decades building a well-funded network influencing the U.S. judiciary. As Senator Sheldon Whitehouse states @2:07, "a billionaire dumped on Leonard Leo a $1.6 billion slush fund." He outlines how this ecosystem operates--and why it matters for judicial independence and public trust.

    Worth understanding how these relationships shape the courts:

  11. #AgeVerification #Lobbying: #DarkMoney, Model #Legislation & Institutional Capture
    How corporate lobbying, #thinktank infrastructure, competing model legislation, and obscured funding networks are shaping age verification policy across 45 states and #Congress.
    #Meta spent $26.3M on lobbying in 2025, deployed 86+ lobbyists across 45 states, and funded #DigitalChildhoodAlliance (#DCA) to advocate for the #AppStoreAccountabilityAct (#ASAA). But operation extends beyond Meta.

  12. An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the #crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists #MarcAndreessen & #BenHorowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each.

    #OndoFinance, which has a partnership with the #Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to #MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

    I would argue programmed. It's not like any of this just appeared out of the woodwork. Killing a democracy takes time, takes effort, takes a bit of genius and a bit of research. This has been going on for some time...none of this is an accident.

  15. @realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
    SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.

    P.S.: Leonard Leo's protégé Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.

  16. #DeSantis is battling to keep private the names of the other advisers who worked w/ #LeonardLeo in a court case that could have sweeping ramifications for access to government records in #Florida. But people familiar w/the process… confirmed several participants…. The #elite group of #conservatives included a fmr #USsenator from FL & #ChrisKise, now a top member of #Trump’s #defense team in his #ClassifiedDocuments case.
