- RAGA's sister org, the 501C4 Rule of Law Defense Fund was a convener of the protest that led up to the riot yesterday, and even did a robocall to promote the event. RLDF is a dark money group, but we do know it's received $$ from the Koch network. documented.net/2021/01/republ…RAGA & the @RepublicanAGs stand together to condemn the violence, destruction, and rampant lawlessness occurring at the U.S. Capitol today. These actions are an affront to the rule of law, our Constitution, and our American political discourse. ⬇️ republicanags.com/2021/01/06/rag…
- REVEALED: Mike Johnson was a member of the secretive Council for National policy in 2012 and 2013, and possibly earlier. Documented has published a newly revealed internal CNP directory. Here we connect the dots: documented.net/connecting-the… #MikeJohnson #Republicans #CNP
- The latest filing for the @senatemajldr leadership committee is now available from the FEC. 3 of the top 5 donors are Fox executives. Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch, and 21st Century Fox President Charles Carey each gave $20,600. Not that they have an agenda or anything..
- On Friday, @EPAScottPruitt did a press stunt at a farm in Havana, FL called May Nursery. Pruitt tweeted a photo of him with the May family, calling them #TrueEnvironmentalists. Turns out May Nursery grows cannabis. An hour after I tweeted that fact, Pruitt deleted his tweet.
- Replying to @NickSurgeyA couple of people quite rightly pointed out that Viet Dinh is also a Fox exec, so that is four out of the top five donors from Fox. New updated tweet -*Update* The new FEC report for the Mitch McConnell leadership Committee is out. And FOUR of the top five donors are Fox execs. Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Fox President Charles Carey, and Viet Dinh Chief Legal & Policy Officer, each gave McConnell $20,600 in Q1 of 2020.
- 🚨A secretive network of ultrawealthy Christian-right donors is spending nearly $12m to purge a million+ people from the rolls in key swing states + attack LGBTQ rights, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump. 1/14 🧵propublica.org/article/inside…
- Americans for Prosperity, the Koch "grassroots" political group, received a whopping 86% of its $52.6m 2019 revenue from just TWO donors. Very grassroots then. This is taken from a recently filed auditors report. AFP recently dumped millions in the #2020Elections to help the GOP
- *Update* The new FEC report for the Mitch McConnell leadership Committee is out. And FOUR of the top five donors are Fox execs. Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Fox President Charles Carey, and Viet Dinh Chief Legal & Policy Officer, each gave McConnell $20,600 in Q1 of 2020.
- 15 yrs ago, Peter Thiel was eating in a DC Baja Fresh talking with Evan Baehr about the state of the conservative movement, and admiring the impact of Leonard Leo's @FedSoc. Soon after, Baehr, who had been working for Thiel, founded Teneo. Leo is now the group's chair.
- SCOOP 🚨 Ginni Thomas privately praised First Liberty Institute for working to block #SCOTUS ethics reforms, amid controversy over her husband's ethical lapses. “Thank You So, So, So Much," she wrote. documented.net/reporting/ginn… Joint reporting with @AndyKroll of @propublica
- The GOP attorneys general group just launched a confirm #Kavanaugh campaign. Its largest donor ($1.7m in 2018) is the group funding the pro-Kavanaugh effort, the Judicial Crisis Network. There's something unseemly about AGs trying to pick their own judges. #KavanaughConfirmation
- Replying to @NickSurgeyTeneo is a Federalist Society for everything. Read my story with @AndyKroll + @AndreaBNYC, a partnership between @itsdocumented + @propublica. Reporting is based on 50+ hours of internal Teneo recordings, internal documents, and interviews with members.
- The UN just laughed at @realDonaldTrump as he opened his remarks and said he had achieved more in two years than any other President. "I didn't expect that reaction" Trump responded
