"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."

"The seats from which Roberts now operates this mechanism were purchased. I use the word with care. They were purchased through a documented dark-money pipeline that runs from the fossil fuel industry through the Republican Attorneys General Association and the Federalist Society‘s network into judicial confirmation campaigns. The receipts are public."

#Starmer lied his way to power, with #DarkMoney. He ran a #HierarchyOfRacism in the #LabourParty, purged Jewish members for anti-zionism, binged on #freebies.
In power, Starmer:
^ starved kids
^ froze grannies
^ endorsed cutting water to civilians
^ shared intelligence with genociders
^ criminalised opponents of #genocide as "terrorist"
^ appointed a #paedophile-adjacent ambassador
^ restricts #TrialByJuryBut now Starmer has the cheek to call #ZackPolanski unfit to lead. 😡 #YCMTSU.

@stancarey Very, very rich people are spending very, very large amounts of money on lobbying and political donations to persuade our politicians -- many of whom have no strong convictions of their own and are very persuadable -- what to think.
Coincidentally and quite surprisingly, some of those very, very rich people are not very nice.

Dutch YouTube creators behind Alberta separatist videos getting millions of views
Albertans end up bombarded with targeted messaging that amounts to Propaganda or Slopaganda, funded by dark money.
This week, a report by the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO), a joint project between the University of Toronto and McGill University in Montreal looking into Canadian media, identified 20 YouTube channels as part of a co-ordinated network focused on separatism in western Canadian provinces, and other political issues.
The report noted they use near-identical scripts and dubbed them “slopaganda.”
Altogether, the accounts have garnered roughly 40 million views.
The report says many of the videos contain “frequent and obvious lies, drawing on real news stories to reach exaggerated conclusions designed to exploit political divisions.” The report did not identify the individuals behind the apparent network, citing a lack of “identifying information to real humans or organizations nor ties to the secession movement in Alberta.”
“I think it’s disturbing that these voices are able to insert themselves in the conversation, and their interest is not to further the democratic discourse or … have a healthy, authentic conversation,” said Chris Ross, a senior analyst at the Media Ecosystem Observatory.
“They’re putting themselves in the middle of that, misleading Albertans, Canadians, and they’re just doing it to make money.”

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:

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.
European Steel?! Get a rope.

Not Reporting A War Part 2
Pete Hegseth is the Peter Principle applied to the largest weapons arsenal in human history. Pine Gap guides the missiles. Australian-made F-35 parts are in the payload. And our media calls it a partnership. Part Two of Urban Wronski’s investigation into what Australia’s press is not reporting, and what our silence is costing.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/04/12/not-reporting-a-war-part-2/

"The Lobbying Disclosure Act is enforced by the US Attorney for DC, an office currently held by former Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro. Those who “knowingly fail to comply” with the law are subject to civil fines maxing out at $200,000, while those who “knowingly and corruptly [fail] to comply” face up to five years in prison.
In the case of the revamped East Wing and ballroom, only one corporation reported its donation to the fund on lobbying disclosure files. Yet twenty-six other firms have been identified as donors by media reports or the White House itself. Those include corporations with lucrative contracts or high-stakes legal matters before the Trump administration in the last year.
That includes Micron, which last year shut down its consumer-facing computer chip business after accepting more than $6.1 billion in data center semiconductor contracts from the Trump administration; Union Pacific Railroad, which is seeking merger approval for its plan to create the company’s first single-line transcontinental megarailroad; and Palantir, the Silicon Valley surveillance giant that recently scored a historic ten-year, $10 billion Pentagon contract (as well as one for bossware at the Agriculture Department.)
“The hidden influence being exerted on the current Trump administration by lobbyists — who are also not making the required disclosures — is unprecedented,” said Kedric Payne, vice president, general counsel, and senior director of ethics at the Campaign Legal Center."

And speaking of someone somewhere funding "studies' and movements to spread right-wing American-style evangelicalism overseas, Alice McCool reports on a new investigation exposing a global network of anti-abortion groups and US Christian nationalists using UK courts to target women's bodily autonomy.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @barfilfarm I cannot at all understand how ordinary American voters can be repeatedly be persuaded to vote against universal socialised health care.
But similarly, in the UK we have one of the lowest costs per patient and per treatment of any health care system in the rich world, and outcomes which although not the very best are massively better than in insurance-based systems, but our politicians try to persuade us it's unaffordable.
I wonder why?

"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."
