    “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.”

  2. 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."

  3. Courtney Gore said she believes a #darkmoney scheme is unfolding:
    an effort by wealthy conservative donors to undermine public education in Texas and install a voucher system in which public money flows to private and religious schools.

    Gore points to West Texas billionaires Tim #Dunn and brothers Farris and Dan #Wilks,
    who have contributed to various political action committees that have poured millions into legislative candidates who have promoted vouchers.

    The men also fund or serve on the boards of a host of public policy and advocacy organizations that have led the fight for vouchers in Texas.
