Dark money, claims of racism continue to cloud Aurora Democratic primary legislative race

In this case, where you have two candidates who are Black women, you have to ask, ‘racism in service of whom?’

Dear Senator / Representative -

I want an absolute end to PACs, super PACs, and untraceable money in politics.

I recently read about private prison corporation Geo Group's dark money contributions to Jim Jordan via a Super PAC. That should not be a sentence that exists.

If you can't end these back-room, ultra-wealthy influence peddlers completely, I want you to support the two bills in Congress now that can help take the voluminous dark money out of politics and help make sure that our government is truly a representative democracy.

They are H.R. 2352 and S.4602. Both would limit contributions to PACs to $5000.

I want full transparency. I want every political donation to come with the name of the person who signed the check or made the bank transfer. I want all of it public.

I want you to cosponsor and enact these bills and restore our democracy to the American people.

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 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...

An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the #crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists #MarcAndreessen & #BenHorowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each.

#OndoFinance, which has a partnership with the #Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to #MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

#NRA executive director #RandyKozuch celebrates the #SCOTUS #BumpStock ruling:

“The Supreme Court has properly restrained executive branch agencies to their role of enforcing, & not making, the law. This decision will be pivotal to NRA’s future challenges of ATF regulations.”

The #SCOTUS 2010 #CitizensUnited decision transformed #politics. It loosened restrictions on #CampaignSpending & unleashed a flow of #anonymous #donor #money to *nonprofit* groups run by #political activists.

In the months before the ruling…, a group of #conservative activists came together to create just such an org. Its mission would be to, at the time, block then-President Barack #Obama’s pet #initiatives.
