Can we treat the flood of #DarkMoney in our campaign process as a national security issue yet? bit.ly/3y80qIU @OpenSecretsDC

Foreign lobbyists gave millions to influence 2020 elections amid foreign influence concerns

More than $33.5 million in individual political contributions came from foreign agents and lobbyists during the 2020 election.

Kansans are fired up about the redistricting process‼️ The folks who provided testimony at the 14 public redistricting hearings over the last week made it very clear: they want things done fairly.

Big money in politics is America’s big problem. That’s why Americans across the country are taking action to end pay-to-play politics and strengthen our democracy. Check out this video to learn more about the movement to pass a #28thAmendment. buff.ly/2WS5rZ2

Our political system is focused around having power, more than crafting and deliberating policy. weareunrepresented.com

Infrastructure investments sound crucial and long overdue to us... Why can't we make such investments with clean accounting? washingtonpost.com/politics/… @BudgetHawks

Analysis | The Daily 202: Fuzzy math is still a big part of the bipartisan infrastructure deal

'Before, they were doing four or five gimmicks. Now they just picked one gimmick and just made it much bigger,' said one budget expert.

In VA, #RankedChoiceVoting helped to unify the GOP ahead of a statewide election "It’s so much easier for every part of a party’s coalition to come back together again when everyone feels that they have been heard and believes that the results are fair." pilotonline.com/opinion/colu…

Very happy to see @NickTroiano & @uniteamerica continue to bring attention to these issues. @chucktodd invites you to conceive of 4 major parties, "far better at being responsive to their constituents"

Then reminds us: "Our elections are run by the two major parties to the point that they enact laws to make it extraordinarily difficult for any political party not named the Democrats or the Republicans to get access to the ballot." msnbc.com/msnbc/america-s-tw…

America's two major political parties are simply too big

These monopolies do more to crush potential competition (in the idea space) than they do to empower those looking for more representation.

Fascinating. A #CampaignFinance overhaul could not be more urgent.

Most of the 62 members of Congress who say they have sworn off donations from the PACs of individual companies have received contributions from campaign accounts or leadership PACs, many of which are full of corporate PAC donations. rollcall.com/2021/08/03/6m-f…
