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

Trump: Buy American, Unless It’s for My Ballroom
President Trump, who has long married “protecting American steel” with his “Make America Great Again” slogan, reportedly accepted tens of millions of dollars in donated steel from a foreign firm for his ballroom just days before he slashed tariffs in half that could help one of its plants.
According to a report by the New York Times from earlier this week, two people familiar with the White House ballroom plans said the steel was made in Europe by ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based steel manufacturer.

"The Holocaust remains unique, singular. But it is an aberration deeply rooted in history, and that history continues to this day. If we seek to avoid a recurrence of that horror, we must be honest. If we seek only to honor the dead—as Andrea notes—at the expense of the living, then our word play goes beyond denial and clearly into the realm of complicity."

"and my first Hebrew School teacher once had to leave class when she attempted to explain the numbers on her arm. I would do anything to avoid adding to that pain, which will always be a pain for the ages."

"He forthrightly called the conduct of this Israeli government 'appalling,' and deplored the U.S. stance when the Netanyahu government violates international law in a way that amounts to: 'Hey, we wish you wouldn’t, but also when you do, there will be no consequences.' That position, Biss argued, 'has not worked, cannot work, will not work.'”

"Specifically, he overcame an avalanche of AIPAC money and debunked the argument that anyone who does not unconditionally support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s regional aggression and Palestinian policy is somehow 'anti-Israeli.'

#COVID #TrumpRegime #KochNetwork #DarkMoney
"The academy was inspired by the pandemic. 'As we reflect on the worst public health fiasco in history, our pandemic response has unveiled serious issues with how science is administered,' noted the college president in a press release.
But the venture isn't exactly an effort to apply science to the COVID-19 crisis. The so-called 'fiasco' was government pandemic measures like mask and vaccine mandates, contact tracing, and lockdowns.
Hillsdale is a conservative Christian institution with ties to the Trump administration. And the scholars behind the academy — Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff — are connected to right-wing dark money attacking public health measures.
The trio also has ties to the Great Barrington Declaration, a widely-rebuked yet influential missive that encouraged governments to adopt a 'herd immunity' policy letting COVID-19 spread largely unchecked, even as the virus has killed more than 800,000 Americans.
The academy is the newest initiative designed to provide intellectual cover to a nearly two-year campaign by right-wing and big business interests to force a return to normalcy to boost corporate profits amid a pandemic that is now surging once again thanks to Omicron."

A new report by @taylorlorenz for WIRED reveals how a web of dark money, with scope that's drawn comparison to the Koch network, has been used to coerce liberal influencers into parroting Blue MAGA talking points, with lucrative contracts tied to strict censorship clauses.
The program is unironically called "Chorus," and the first rule of the liberal "Chorus" is that you don't talk about the Chorus...

Interviews w/his associates, along w/a review of #court documents & other public records, reveal an ideologically driven #conservative w/a #combative streak. #Mellon spent most of his life leveraging his family #fortune to create his own. His freight railroad, a regional line that repeatedly ran afoul of #worker & #environmental #protections, was recently sold for $600M.
-
All told, he has given $227M in contributions to federal candidates & political committees since 2020, nearly all to #Republicans — a sum that puts him in the top echelon of the party’s donors, alongside far better-known megadonors like #MiriamAdelson & her husband, Sheldon, who died in 2021, & Liz & Dick #Uihlein.
Yet for all his financial #influence, #Mellon & his interests — & what exactly is motivating his largess — have remained largely a mystery.
-
The episode was a rare glimpse into the private life & the public dealings of #Mellon, 81, a reclusive #heir & #RailroadMagnate who has recently turned himself into a #political force [presumably a #FauxNews consumer]. He has surprised even political insiders w/the size of his contributions this year, throwing $75M behind #Trump’s attempt to return to the WH & an additional $25M toward #RFKJr’s independent presidential run, making him both candidates’ single largest benefactor.

In the lobby of the grand Biltmore Hotel in CoralGables, FL, where a sprawling new force in Washington’s #RightWing ecosystem, the #CPI, was holding its winter conference, the fmr #Trump #legal adviser #CletaMitchell was exultant.
“Did you hear the ‘War Room’ today? #Bannon was on fire!” she said to a friend. She was referring to the podcast hosted by #SteveBannon, …who had been condemning #Republican senators for supporting billions…in #aid to #Ukraine & #Israel earlier….

The movement’s triumphs are now visible but its engine remains hidden:
A billion-dollar network of groups, most of which are registered as tax-exempt charities or social welfare organizations.Taking advantage of gaps in disclosure laws, they shield the identities of most of their donors and some of the recipients of the funds.
Among those who’ve been paid by the groups are leading thinkers and individuals with close personal ties to #Leonard #Leo — including a whopping $7 million to a group run by a close friend and his wife.
They also include a for-profit business for which Leo himself is chairman and which received tens of millions of dollars from his nonprofit network.
Leo’s role as the central figure in this movement has long been known, culminating in his acquisition last year of what many believe to be the largest political donation in history.
Few are aware of the extent to which the movement’s baby steps were taken in concert with #Ginni #Thomas.
Two months before the #CitizensUnited decision, but after the justices had signaled their intentions by requesting new arguments, attorney #Cleta #Mitchell — later to play a role in Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 elections — filed papers for Ginni Thomas to create a nonprofit group of a type that ultimately benefited from the decision.
Leo was one of two directors listed on a separate application to conduct business in the state of Virginia.
Thomas was president. She signed it on New Year’s Eve of 2009, and Crow provided much of the initial cash. A key Leo aide, #SarahField, would come aboard to help Thomas manage the group, which they called #LibertyCentral.
