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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

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:

#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.

💼🕵️♂️ In a shocking twist, corporations are spending big bucks to push their age verification agendas 🙄. Surprise! Dark money and think tanks are the new BFFs in this complex love triangle of influence 🍿. Who knew #lobbying was a thing?! 🤔💸

#Watchdog groups had raised alarm about the lack of #transparency surrounding the most recent #Trump transition, noting that by not revealing who was contributing—& how much they had chipped in—it was nearly impossible for the public to know about #ConflictsOfInterest or #PayToPlay arrangements.

Montana Has an Ambitious Plan to End Dark Money in Elections
Fifteen years after a landmark Supreme Court case turbocharged corporate spending in the political process, a group hopes it may have a way to finally rein in some of the outsized influence of the ultrawealthy. The 2010 ruling on Citizens United v. FEC opened the floodgates of political spending in elections. Every year since then, untraceable financial political contributions…

For most of the people who poured money into #Trump’s #memecoin, Americans can know only 2 pieces of information about them: a long string of code, known as their #crypto wallet address, & the account’s self-chosen, 4-character code name. The leader board’s top spenders include the crypto wallets “JIGL,” “Niu” & “REKT.”
Some coin holders have said they’ve made the guest list, including Sheldon Xia, the founder of #BitMart, a crypto exchange registered in the #CaymanIslands. -

My DSA chapter (StL) recently tweeted a farewell "Thank You" to our comrade Cori Bush.
The chapter doesn't have a Mastodon account, so I'm tooting this screenshot of the tweet myself.
Cori was among the few genuinely progressive members of Congress. She was targeted for her stance against the genocide in Gaza.
A massive Dark Money smear campaign that never mentioned Palestine funded her primary opponent - a former Republican.

@fawfulfan With their attacks on the Reconstruction Amendments, especially the Fourteenth Amendment, Leonard Leo's SCOTUS agents are doing the Confederacy's bidding, continuing, where Jan 6 ended.
They don't deserve to be on SCOTUS's bench.Roe v. Wade (abortion rights): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Griswold v. Connecticut (birth control): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Loving v. Virginia (freedom to marry, regardless of race): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Lawrence v. Texas (intercourse between same-sex,partners): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
and more...

This is what happens when you let businesses and corporations bribe politicians openly and freely. They run the country. They get to bypass safety restrictions and ignore the disastrous consequences of their greed.
