“The sad reality today is that both Republicans and Democrats are pumping massive amounts of money into opaque groups, leaving voters in the dark about which ultra-wealthy megadonors and special interests are trying to buy access and influence through large political contributions.” -- @mjbeckel

NEW: Megadonors have now poured *2.3 billion* into the midterm elections.
Leading the pack is Elon Musk, the world's richest man, who is now the biggest individual political donor in American history.
Six donors have given $100M+. Read here:

I sat down with comedian and former Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj to discuss how wealthy interests have corrupted American elections and how fundraising dominates the schedules of members of Congress.

Billionaires and foreign actors can’t be allowed to buy our elections. On this week's Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know, IO’s @mjbeckel lays out how we can reset American democracy.

Election reform should not be about giving one party an advantage. It should be about giving every American confidence that our elections belong to the American people.
That is the principle behind the bipartisan Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act, which the House passed unanimously yesterday.
This bill closes a dangerous loophole that allowed foreign nationals to finance ballot initiatives, referenda, and recall elections.
I’m grateful to @IssueOneReform for supporting this legislation and calling on the Senate to act.
American elections must be decided by American citizens alone.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump has fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — leaving the agency with zero commissioners.

It's actually even more than that.
A donor can now give up to $310,100 per year to a party committee like the NRSC or DSCC, or $620,200 per election cycle, as @IssueOneReform explains here
issueone.org/press/supreme-c…
My read is that now instead a max contribution of $3,500 to a candidate's campaign, an individual can now give $180,700 to a combo of entities (Candidate campaign + nat'l party committee + additional national party committee accounts) that can give to candidate.
Is that right?

President Trump’s politicization and erosion of cybersecurity infrastructure has weakened our national security and left the U.S. more vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Dark money has no place in elections. Voters shouldn't be left in the dark about who's trying to influence their voters and curry favor with politicians.
Who's behind the $3.5M in #darkmoney that bankrolled the Kentucky 4th super PAC in #KY04?
Business records obtained by @IssueOneReform show Tamarack Aspen Inc. is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit incorporated in Delaware by Dayton, Ohio-based lawyer Robert Berner

Mayor Pete is speaking the truth. Citizens are uniting—against corporate money in our politics, and they are trying to take back our democracy in states from Montana to Hawaii.
The Montana Plan is bipartisan, common-sense, and one of the best opportunities in a long time to put Citizens United where it belongs: in the ashbin of history.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall in Butte and showed the rest of the country what it takes to make progress on an issue this important.

New campaign finance filings reviewed by @mjbeckel show the AI industry's keeping the identities secret of those bankrolling one of their new super PACs.
Stay tuned as we investigate and keep you informed.
Who's funding the AI industry's Public First super PAC?
New FEC docs don't give many clues
It reported raising $1.5M
Michael Cohen of the University of California gave $500K
The rest came from Public First Action, a 501(c)(4) #darkmoney group that doesn't disclose its donors

Every authoritarian uses the same playbook to take over elections. Putting loyalists in key positions to interfere is Step #2 ✅
The midterms will serve as an unprecedented stress test of the integrity of American elections “with more election deniers having access to federal power than ever before,” some experts and Democrats warn.

We applaud @SenatorCurtis for standing firm: no military action beyond 60 days without Congressional approval. This is what principled leadership looks like — honoring both history and the Constitution. More lawmakers need to follow his lead. 📷 #WarPowers #BipartisanSupport deseret.com/opinion/2026/04/…

While we differ on whether the war should have started without Congressional approval, we fully agree with Senator Curtis that it certainly cannot continue past the 60 day window.
We applaud the senator for putting the Constitution over partisanship. deseret.com/opinion/2026/04/…
