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

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
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
I’m going to go on about this a bit because it’s really important. Fact: Big dark-money entities have started claiming a constitutional right to dark money anonymity and “pled the First” refusing to answer congressional oversight questions. It’s real. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
With dark money groups stoking mob rally, SCOTUS takes case where dark money cabal plans to create dark money right. Sometimes evil rampages, sometimes it creeps. https://t.co/pCSB6VjSqG — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s go back for a minute to Trump’s Georgia call. What does his willingness to send a mob rioting through the Capitol to disrupt the electoral process tell us about his mens rea (criminal intent) in making that call? Then add this into evidentiary mix. https://t.co/uZMg9oJt9C — PolitiTweet.org

Business community toleration of Trump is shot — NAM called for 25th!! WSJ has turned on him. No company can be associated with Wednesday. Trump mob’s violence against police exploded Republican law and order message. Maybe at last the spell is broken. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress needs assurance DOJ and FBI are doing everything they can to investigate the attack on the Capitol. Early failures to gather evidence can harm prosecutions. Our letter requesting details ⬇️ https://t.co/Kbd1UGXrUC — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to @Michael_S_Regan for speaking with me today. I’m thrilled someone who understands the climate threat will lead the EPA. You and the Biden team are landing in a tough battle against polluters who fight dirty, but we’ll have your back. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so sorry to hear of Capitol Police Officer Sicknick’s death as a result of Wednesday’s terrorist attack. We honor his service and extend condolences to his loved ones. Lowered flag at the Capitol in his memory. https://t.co/QLD8pmXuSn — PolitiTweet.org

I congratulate @LGDanMcKee on his elevation to the top job at the State House, and am very eager to work with him during the transition and beyond to end this pandemic and get our economy back on track. — PolitiTweet.org

For Republican Senators, Trump is a loser himself; they believe he cost them Georgia & Senate control; the nonsense many tolerated came home to roost & split & burned them; & those images will linger in ads. Good luck in suburbs. — PolitiTweet.org
