#Virginia is an outlier on a national scale when it comes to campaign finance law, placing no limits on the amount that corporations, wealthy individuals, and PACs can spend in our elections. Wanna help us return #powertothepeople? Take action at bigmoneyoutva.org/

Trump's crypto company is on its way to becoming a bank. Who regulates it? A Trump appointee that Trump can fire at will. This is corruption. motherjones.com/politics/202…

In NYT Mag, @chashomans has a good article on Trump's self-enrichment and corruption. He should know that the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act, intro'd Aug. 2018, would require presidents & VPs to divest. The ethics bill has never had a hearing. readsludge.com/2025/04/15/co…

With several instances just in the 2026 election cycle, it’s clear that using pop-up super PACs to conceal election spending is becoming an increasingly common tactic for wealthy special interests to hide their influence in elections. campaignlegal.org/update/pop…

How corporate Dems & their donors are trying to turn Platner’s withdrawal into a corporate coup that ignores the policy demands of the largest primary vote in Maine’s history. A fascinating look at those turning a crisis into oligarchs’ opportunity 👇 levernews.com/corporate-dems…

“Pop-up” super PACs are a particularly insidious way to prevent voters from accessing accurate info about election spending, and they're often deployed at the direction of wealthy special interests. Congress and the FEC can put an end to this practice. campaignlegal.org/update/pop…

The end result of our two party system is a bizarre Stockholm Syndrome where voters constantly defend their own abusive party against the other party. (And yes, any party that lets 800 people a day die from poverty in the USA is abusive)
