NEW FEC FILINGS: The TRUMP campaign paid $3M in the 1st quarter to American Made Media Consultants, a company formed by the campaign. It allows the campaign to buy ads without commissions, & also makes it difficult to track specifically how the $ is being spent. https://t.co/wUgA7VIS4g — PolitiTweet.org

Worth noting that @Stripe, a vendor to many campaigns (including TRUMP's) that provides technology to process credit card transactions, was the subject of a subpoena seeking records from the Trump inaugural committee. 2/ https://t.co/5rjNUNCnaz — PolitiTweet.org

TRUMP, INC: New @FEC reports show TRUMP’s cmtes in 1st quarter paid: • $170k to Trump cos. • $720k to @Parscale Strategy (owned by campaign manager) • $144k to Revv (owned by former Trump WH aide @lansing) • $803k to @Stripe (owned partly by @joshuakushner’s venture fund) 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

THANKS, MOM! @NeeraTanden says she’s not out to get @BERNIESANDERS & wants unity among Democrats. Neera’s mom, OTOH, says her daughter believes Bernie “got a pass” in 2016, “but he’s not getting a pass this time.” https://t.co/EAl4rpwZiI — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Last week, @AmProg reached out to reporters to pick apart @BernieSanders’ “Medicare for All” plan. * @AmProg has its own plan, which, unlike Bernie’s, reserves a role for private insurance cos. (like those that have previously donated to @AmProg). https://t.co/EAl4rpwZiI — PolitiTweet.org

THE SWAMP: New TRUMP @Interior Secretary DAVID BERNHARDT, who has pledged to strengthen ethics compliance at the Department, is now being investigated by the Department's inspector general for ethics complaints, @CoralMDavenport scoops. https://t.co/VggwUYPm33 — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoyed speaking Thursday at @UChiPolitics about that time I was carrying a giant sack of flour. Just kidding! I was actually talking about covering campaign finance in 2020 (hand-gestures notwithstanding) with the inimitable @bykowicz & @skrmhlz. https://t.co/518qTCFWS5 — PolitiTweet.org

WHY THIS IS SIGNIFICANT: Even in a Dem primary where candidates are distancing themselves from Big $, major donors still help set the tone, & @TomSteyer is one of the biggest. His call for more comity will get the attention of CAP, organizations like it & probably some campaigns. — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

NEW: @TomSteyer, a multi-million $ donor to @AmProg, is not pleased about @thinkprogress' video critiquing @BernieSanders: "I will use my voice on CAP's Board of Directors to discourage any such attacks on any candidate seeking the Democratic nomination in the future.” https://t.co/4WfA7yuMj4 — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

BERNIE VS. DEM ESTABLISHMENT: In a fundraising email, @BernieSanders rallies his base behind his feud with @AmProg, calling the CLINTON-linked think tank "the epitome of the political establishment" that is "working to defeat our progressive agenda," including Medicare for All. https://t.co/zhjlz3lbjy — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

NEW: The TRUMP campaign says in Q1, 98.79% of its donations* were from $200 or less, with $34 avg donation. *this is % of donations of $200 or less, not % of $ from such donations or even % of small donors. Still Trump is an undeniable small $ force. https://t.co/YdpEUfrkBI — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

ALSO: It's not just @BernieSanders criticizing @AmProg for accepting $ from entities that don't align with progressive politics (@Walmart, @BankofAmerica, @blackstone, @UAEEmbassyUS, @AHIPCoverage, @BAESystemsInc, etc). CAP's $ makes many liberals uneasy. https://t.co/3lZBmUqooQ — PolitiTweet.org
