Obfuscating Money in Politics: McCain-Feingold, USAID, and the NGO Network

The debate over money in politics is defined by a core tension between the ideals of transparency, privacy, and mandated disclosure. Proponents of robust transparency and disclosure requirements (especially America Firsters) argue that voters have a fundamental right to know who is funding candidates, parties, and issue advocacy, as undisclosed “dark money” from wealthy individuals, corporations, unions, or foreign-linked entities can distort democratic outcomes, enable corruption or undue influence, and facilitate implementation of leftwing policies funded by US taxpayers without authorization or scrutiny. They push for lower reporting thresholds, real-time disclosures, and the closing of loopholes like super PACs and 501(c) organizations to let sunlight act as a disinfectant.

Does the Filibuster Still Serve a Purpose?

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) has ripped the scab off of the festering wound we call the Senate filibuster. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote, is favored by over 80 percent of the electorate – at least of those voters who can legally vote. Its passage should be a no-brainer. But apparently the Senate lacks the brains for a no-brainer.

Seven Million Biden Voters Died Between Nov. 2020 & Nov. 2024: Where Are The Bodies?

Choices: The South Dakota 2026 GOP Gubernatorial Runoff

There will be a runoff for the two GOP candidates for governor on 28 July, as none of the four candidates achieved the 35% threshold required to win outright in the 2 June primary election. Political newcomer Toby Doeden finished first with 31% of the votes, followed by Rhoden at 25%, U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson at 23%, and state House Speaker Jon Hansen at 21%.
