- We're thrilled to welcome @waltshaub to CLC staff later this month as we fight for better ethics in government. bit.ly/2stSdhb

- We will always remember the passionate speech in defense of voting rights that Elijah Cummings gave earlier this year. A true civil rights icon of our time - Rest In Peace #RIPElijah
- Today, we filed suit against the @FEC. The FEC’s inability to do its job and properly investigate the complaint we filed in July 2020 is just the latest example of the agency’s failures hindering voters’ right to know how political money is being spent.
- BREAKING: The Wisconsin case is going to the Supreme Court! WI has filed an appeal - setting up a historic showdown. bit.ly/2mtsr9h
- Replying to @CampaignLegalCampaign finance laws require that money paid to influence an election — even hush money — must be properly reported so voters have info. The timing of unreported payments to #StormyDaniels in exchange for silence, days before the 2016 election, warrants an investigation by @FEC.
- #FairMaps ally @Schwarzenegger has arrived at the Supreme Court to watch Whitford v Gill #gerrymandering oral arguments.
- “It’s shocking that a government ethics official would be involved in administering nondisclosure agreements that are antithetical to the government’s ethical values of transparency, loyalty to the constitution instead of a politician, and disclosure of wrongdoing.” - @waltshaub
- UPDATE: last year, we uncovered how two Ukrainian-Americans had laundered a six-figure contribution to President Trump’s super PAC through a shell corporation. We filed a complaint with the FEC. Those two men have now been arrested on campaign finance charges.Breaking: Two foreign-born men who helped Rudy Giuliani's efforts to investigate Joe Biden were arrested in the U.S. on charges of violating campaign-finance rules, say people familiar with the matter on.wsj.com/2IEgKu2
- Many congratulations to our friend @waltshaub for this award!
- Replying to @Fahrenthold and @realDonaldTrumpTwo weeks after Trump was elected, @thetrevorpotter warned that Trump's decision not to sell his business would create exactly these conflicts of interest. #TBT #ThrowbackThursday
- WIN: #Virginia voters have passed a historic amendment to their state’s constitution, choosing #FairMaps over gerrymandering. We are proud to have endorsed this great redistricting reform. This is a win for #democracy. @fairmapsva
- "Go Buy Ivanka's Stuff" said @KellyannePolls, public federal employee, on tv. (Watch: cnn.it/2k7Tw0c) Here's what the law says.
