GOP compliance firm Red Curve Solutions got more money for legal fees from Donald Trump's political operation than any other vendor in 2023—apparently acting as a go-between to steer millions to attorneys whose identities remain hidden from the public opensecrets.org/news/2024/02/t…

SCOOP: Looks like Trump has been using a GOP compliance firm as a go-between to pay lawyers, allowing him to keep some of the attorneys he’s paying hidden from the public. It’s an $8 million mystery—and experts say it’s probably illegal. Me The Daily Beast

Politically important: This bill gives TikTok 9 months (extendable to a year by the president) to divest or be banned. That means it won’t happen until 2025.

Earlier House-passed bill in March gave 6 months, which if enacted then would’ve banned TikTok a bit before the election.

In recent elections, we've seen MAGA-aligned candidates like Ron DeSantis and Byron Donalds use legally-dubious tactics to launder state campaign funds into federal super PACs.

Now we're seeing Democratic congressional candidates running similar plays. huffpost.com/entry/eileen-f…

This doesn't include AIPAC, which spent far more than any of these countries' lobbying budgets ($650M from 2016-2022), but which does not file under FARA, because it is domestic: projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…

None of these other countries have domestic lobbies anywhere close to that.

Why does billionaire Jeff Yass matter out of all the big donors?
1. He’s the no. 1 political donor ($46 million)
2. He says he won’t donate to Trump’s campaign.What about future donations to pro-Trump Club for Growth?
He declined to answer that question
