@USpol #AIPAC #DarkMoney #AllIn #ChrisHayes
Hold that phone, Leroy. Woah.
It's that segment Chris Hayes covered just now about dishonesty in PAC political ads, but making the point that PACs that are against a particular candidate winning will not use the cause that they're organized for but use instead public issues they're convinced that the voters are dead set against and then accuse, falsely, that the target candidate is guilty of that instead.I don't see how THAT is anything new, but what's new is the Democrat-on-Democrat verbal violence, so to speak--the AIPAC Wasserman-Schultz wing of the Party vs the Democratic Socialist wing....except in AIPAC's case, well, they target any candidate who even wants to put guardrails around any aid that the US gives to Israel. And yeah, they will NOT say that's WHY they have targeted the candidate; they won't make that case but they'll make a side-case like immigration. ICE. And lie about it.
But this is what AIPAC has always done, actually--Hayes is a couple decades late in pointing that out.Following that segment, the bottom banner of the screen displayed:
"Trump says he doesn't need to campaign for Republicans".Except that's exactly what he's doing in the gubernatorial run-off primary election in Oklahoma, where there's GOP-on-GOP verbal "violence". Trump has a United Arab Emirates interest in that aluminum smelter proposed for Inola, OK, and that's what the negative ads against the #Trump favorite candidate focus on, and it's the reason why Trump is spending ad money on boosting Mike Mazzey vs Gentner Drummond and Drummond knows that the smelter and ANY foreign ownership of Oklahoma business and/or land will land where the Oklahoma voters live.
It's to be noted that the UAE also sits on the Board of Peace, so if y'all are wondering why any nation in its right mind would pay the big bux to sit on that board, well, wonder no more--odds are good that they've been bribed with such perks as this to do so.

“The central corrupting feature of our politics right now is the power of money to buy politicians
so that government is captured by them,
not for us,” El-Sayed said as he fielded questions from the stage“AIPAC will spend huge amounts of money if you’re uppity like me and you speak out of turn to beat you,
and you’re seeing it play out on TV every day.”#MoneyIsNotSpeech #darkmoney #michigan

Voters will likely have the chance to decide this fall whether to ban political spending in state elections by Michigan’s regulated utilities and large government contractors.

Dark money, claims of racism continue to cloud Aurora Democratic primary legislative race
In this case, where you have two candidates who are Black women, you have to ask, ‘racism in service of whom?’

To me, the most disturbing part is how news outlets keep reporting as if elections are decided by donations rather than votes. Almost like they think we believe every ad we see, so the most ads win.

#Minnesota #congress #senate #elections #DarkMoney #SuperPacs
#AngieCraig’s super PAC donors incl hedge fund founder, #UnitedHealth, & Chevron, but much of funding is unknown (dark money)
#PeggyFlanagan is backed by the DLGA (some questionable donors as well) & Clear Voice Minnesota. “Both super PACs must disclose their donors.” (NOT dark money)
Fellow MN Dems, letting Craig get the nomination would be a mistake and missed opportunity. Primary voting has started.

“Who is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain?”

@[email protected]“EXCLUSIVE: Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK”
[..]
“Little is known about Restore Britain’s funding. The far-right party, seen as a disrupter on Reform UK’s right flank, was only formally registered as a party in February, meaning further donations records will begin to appear in the coming months, should they cross the threshold for declaration.”

New piece on who is actually funding Australia's renewable energy opposition in regional communities.
The climate obstruction playbook has moved on from denial. Delay is cheaper and more durable. You don't need to win the argument. You just need to prevent a decision from being made.
Follow the money, and you don't find a farmer's hat. Gina Rinehart's company donated $4.5 million to the IPA in a single two-year period. Fossil fuel interests donated nearly $4 million to major parties in 2023-24. Australia's $16,900 disclosure threshold keeps most of it invisible for up to 18 months.
The cruellest part: the playbook takes the genuine experience of being exploited by outside interests and weaponises it to defend the exploiters.

A woman donates $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc.
Weeks later, her son — convicted of federal tax crimes and ordered to repay more than $4 million — receives a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
Even more striking: the pardon request itself reportedly highlighted the family’s political donations.
This is not necessarily corruption in the criminal sense.
But it perfectly illustrates the growing perception of a “pay for access” system surrounding Trump’s political world — where money, influence and presidential power appear increasingly intertwined.#Trump #MAGA #USPolitics #PoliticalCorruption #CampaignFinance #Pardons #RuleOfLaw #DarkMoney #PayForAccess #AmericanPolitics

@ScottishGreens have called for an independent enquiry into ALL Scottish parties' finances.
That's a genuinely sensible idea.
Now, will other parties back it? After all, what do they have to hide?

The #manosphere influencer scene lives on because it's supported by Russia.
Where are theTate brothers this week? In #Russia attending Putin's 'Davos'. Talking "Holy Russia" and other Duginist bs.
It's all connected. The #epstein pedophile class, manosphere, far right populism: Russia supplies and handles their #darkmoney, provides the exploited children, and the #mafia connections.
In return Russia gets their blood money & international reputation laundered.
