If this becomes a case, I’d rather be making the opening arguments for the prosecution than for the defense. And don’t forget the Georgia scheme. https://t.co/c39XbhDZEU — PolitiTweet.org

If the press provides the “first rough draft of history” this is a hell of a good first draft. Long, but I think you’ll find it worth the read. https://t.co/3KXN9G5CB0 — PolitiTweet.org

The Polluter Page serves dark money interests as assiduously as polluter interests (likely same crowd) so put a flag on this case now in front of The Court That Dark Money Built. https://t.co/jir2ku9rV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe also stop funding climate denial and obstruction, like through two “worst climate obstructors” U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers. https://t.co/9zMwN2pWXI — PolitiTweet.org

An important reminder of the big-money (often dark-money) corporate presence behind a lot of the inflammatory nonsense tearing our country apart. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s hope they ALL think about cutting the funding for climate denial and obstruction, and making bad actors disclose who’s been behind it. https://t.co/5IWFOV54SH — PolitiTweet.org

May the day come when they stop facilitating destroyers of the planet, not just destroyers of the Capitol. So, good move, guys, but let’s step it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Note: @jpmorgan @Citibank @Marriott @Bostonsci @AnthemBCBS are all #ChamberofCarbon members. @USChamber, per @InfluenceMap, is a “worst climate obstructor” in America. (Along w NAM, btw.) https://t.co/D6cFlNFiVi — PolitiTweet.org

More evidence of intent in Georgia: Trump “told Kelly Loeffler before he landed in Georgia for a final rally on Monday that if she didn’t back the Electoral College challenges, he would ‘do a number on her’ from the stage.” https://t.co/xCJJMW32yn — PolitiTweet.org

RT @FBI: The #FBI is still seeking information to help identify individuals who actively instigated violence on January 6 in Washington, D.… — PolitiTweet.org

In the wake of Trump mob attacking and ransacking our nation’s Capitol, this is who Arizona Republicans censure. https://t.co/7tU9AGEFa9 — PolitiTweet.org

Because of massive potential conflict of interest, Sens Cruz, Hawley and Johnson (at least) need to be off all relevant committees reviewing this matter until the investigation of their role is complete. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Because Congress has protections from DOJ under separation of powers, specifically Speech and Debate Clause, significant investigation will need to be done in Senate. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The Senate will need to conduct security review of what happened and what went wrong, likely through Rules, Homeland and Judiciary. The Senate Ethics Committee also must consider the expulsion, or censure and punishment, of Sens. Cruz, Hawley, and perhaps others. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The Senate needs to oversee federal investigation of the attack and ransacking of our national Capitol, through Judiciary and perhaps Homeland Security. We may also be the client in federal civil suits for damages and for restraining orders, likely also under Judiciary purview. — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply saddened to learn of another Capitol Police officer lost. We mourn with Officer Liebengood's family and wish them peace and comfort in this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

USA/DC also does local crimes, so its 300+ AUSAs are already notoriously busy. Adding this to caseload w/o other resources not a confidence-builder. https://t.co/V4oSvjkHs8 — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve just experienced the overt dangers of a noisy attack on our democracy by a violent mob; the covert dangers are even greater of stealth attack on our democracy by secretive dark money interests. https://t.co/cJmjqMAEIf — PolitiTweet.org

SCOTUS is now The Court That Dark Money Built, and here comes the dark-money armada in droves to push dark money rights. SCOTUS held Becerra suspiciously long, and took it once Barrett was on, on a day world was focused on Capitol sacking. Expect bad things. — PolitiTweet.org

And what is “political” dark money? Anonymously funding fake science to provide propaganda against climate legislation? “Issue” ads lying about carbon emissions? — PolitiTweet.org

The dark-money amici say in briefing they don’t mean political dark money, but that’s not what they assert to Congress’s questions. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
That network both gives and receives dark money to wield political power and run political covert operations (like climate denial and court capture) in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed the “AFPF” in AFPF v. Becerra is Americans For Prosperity Foundation, the “charitable” arm of the notorious Koch-funded dark money network. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Dozens of dark-money amici swarmed this case asking the Court to lay some predicates for that “right” they assert. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Becerra is the first step down this path. It’s a highly technical case about sharing IRS 501c3 donor info with state authorities. 501c3 organizations don’t spend money on politics, but their 501c4 arms do. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
But since then, dark money forces have put Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett onto the Court, which makes 4 with Thomas; and Alito would likely flip to help Republican dark money crowd. That’s a majority for a new constitutional right to dark money. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Their problem is this: to get around the corruption consequences of unleashing unlimited money, Citizens United 8-1 required (but never enforced) transparency. Only Thomas said anonymity was protected over transparency. — PolitiTweet.org
