Interview: "Our country is being run by a small group of people who have an enormous amount of money, and they dominate our politics.

"It’s almost as if bribery has become utterly legalized."

An untraceable amount of money flows through nonprofits & super PACs to support candidates & influence political movements.

Just saw the first episode of Dark Money Games. The story of corruption in the Ohio legislature and the cynical manipulation of Ohio voters is worthy of the film noir narrative contained in the descriptions by FBI and prosecutors of Speaker Householder, Borges and Clark. Jane Mayer produced and appears in the film.

Alex Gibney made a great documentary about the Trump family’s efforts to use the deadliness of the Covid virus and deliberate refusal to use public healthcare to save lives when they learned “essential” black workers were predominantly vulnerable and dying of the disease. Now he’s back about Dark Money. Extension of interview will be available later today.

Elon Musk Is Trying to Buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court

“His attack on democracy isn’t limited to gutting the federal government. He wants it all.”
motherjones.com/politics/2025/

"a #DarkMoney group backed by #Musk, is spending at least $1.6 million in support of #Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, a conservative judge in suburban Milwaukee running for an open seat in an April election that will decide whether #progressives or #conservatives control the #court."
