Number of the day: $400 million.
That's how much money dark money groups aligned with congressional leadership have funneled to the major super PACs focused on control of Congress

How much pressure are lawmakers under to raise $$$?
LOTS.
New @IssueOneReform review of @FEC filings shows the typical House member in a competitive re-election race raised an average of about $13,000 PER DAY during the third quarter of 2026.

AI companies cast themselves as champions for the public good, but lobbying and campaign finance records reveal how they have worked behind the scenes to block the guardrails that would hold them accountable

As OpenAI executives step up their public calls for federal AI safety rules, a political group the company’s president helped fund is spending millions to elect members of Congress who oppose restrictions on the technology. reuters.com/legal/litigation…

Big Tech lobby ITI, @ITI_TechTweets, put out a release on Sept. 30 cheering permitting reform.
ITI flew congressional aides, including those on House Dems' AI task force, to Austin for pretty-fancy meetings with tech executives. Must have been appealing!

"Corruption in government" ranks even higher than "inflation and gas prices" in Fox's poll of voters' top concerns.

I sat down with comedian and former Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj to discuss how wealthy interests have corrupted American elections and how fundraising dominates the schedules of members of Congress.

Billionaires and foreign actors can’t be allowed to buy our elections. On this week's Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know, IO’s @mjbeckel lays out how we can reset American democracy.

Election reform should not be about giving one party an advantage. It should be about giving every American confidence that our elections belong to the American people.
That is the principle behind the bipartisan Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act, which the House passed unanimously yesterday.
This bill closes a dangerous loophole that allowed foreign nationals to finance ballot initiatives, referenda, and recall elections.
I’m grateful to @IssueOneReform for supporting this legislation and calling on the Senate to act.
American elections must be decided by American citizens alone.
