A handful of AI companies just spent close to $30 million trying to decide the outcome of ONE House primary in Manhattan — not to win an election, but to prove they can buy the outcome of who regulates them. Voting closes tonight. This is corporatocracy with the mask off.

"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:

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 #watchdog group has also asked the #IRS to investigate whether #CPI has engaged in unreported #lobbying activity by donating nearly $2M to a related org, #CompassLegalGroup, that supported #conservative #legislation on both the #state & #federal levels.

The group’s top exec, #JimDeMint, the fmr SC US senator, was there, as was #MarkMeadows …who is paid $847k annually as the org’s snr adviser. More than a dozen members of the #House #FreedomCaucus also turned up, as did #MollieHemingway, the editor in chief of the #RightWing *journalism* website #TheFederalist, whose parent company #CPI helps underwrite.

A Nerve Center for the #RightWing Rises in DC
The #ConservativePartnershipInstitute (#CPI) has become a breeding ground for the next generation of #Trump loyalists & an incubator for policies he might pursue. Its fast growth is raising questions.

The #SCOTUS justices that led the Roe vs Wade overturn are regularly bribed by #billionaires. As you drive across state lines for your #abortion reflect on that. And even imagine for a moment if it were #KetanjiBrownJackson that accepted a #private jet ride to a #luxury $1k/nite fishing vacation in remote #Alaska.

"We need to be aware of the history leading to the current moment. McConahay has done us a great service by laying out the case."
And, of course, as Roberts says, Clarence Thomas, wife Ginni, and Leonard Leo and the corruption of a Supreme Court dominated by hard-right Catholics loom very large large in McConahay's study.

"Catholics today, still recovering from the deep betrayal by bishops in the ongoing sexual abuse scandal, may be reluctant to consider that their church is being further distorted and turned inside out by unseemly forces in their midst. But Catholicism in America is metastasizing into a thoroughly American Catholicism, subservient to the culture's most rapacious instincts."

Tom Roberts writes, reviewing Mary Jo McConahay's new book, Playing God: American Catholic Bishops and The Far Right:
"A primary concern for those reporting on the Catholic Church in the United States today should be following the money."
