      Curious about who your employer gives political donations to? Here's how to navigate the FEC website to find that out. Start by going to http://fec.gov  and select 'raising' from the 'campaign finance data' pulldown.pic.twitter.com/YRlaJylI9x

      This will take you to the 'Advanced data' page. Go to 'all receipts'...pic.twitter.com/RNkfej2m6v

      The 'recipient' and 'contributor' boxes are all the tools you need. FEC bins its data by two-year election period, so if you want to look at donations for previous election cycles, choose the appropriate range from the year pulldown.pic.twitter.com/aFMupCXyQW

      Let's say we want to find out whether McDonald's donated to Chuck Schumer. Start typing 'McDonald' in the contributor box, and you'll see a list of all matching PACs. Corporate PACs are required to contain the company name. In this case, it's obvious which one we want.pic.twitter.com/fSp6Tie5xM

      That code in parentheses (C00063164) is the unique identifier for this particular committee. The identifiers can be important when you have multiple candidates with the same name, or committees that change names. The FEC site shows us a list of everyone this PAC donated to.pic.twitter.com/zhVFth2SWP

      Now we add 'Schumer' as the recipient name. There are a bunch here, so we may have to look them up on the FEC site to see which is the one we want. In this case, the topmost one is it.pic.twitter.com/V3XgAKXy0g

      If you're in doubt, you can look up the committee on the FEC site, or just Google the committee ID. In this case, it appears that second 'Friends of Schumer' is Chuck Schumer's committee back when he was a House member. He's always had so many friends!pic.twitter.com/MFtQlSTah2

          Putting it all together, we see that McDonald's PAC gave Chuck Schumer $2500 on June 26. We can open the detail arrow to learn more about the donation.pic.twitter.com/ENSJktk93t

          Two useful things here are the 'year to date' number, and the link back to the original image, which takes you to the actual filing the information was reported in. Note here that McDonald's is donating to Schumer's 2022 primary campaign. Such admirable foresight!pic.twitter.com/fspclY3eRP

          You can use this same method to look up donations by individual people (check Elon Musk's donations for a laugh), see who is funding corporate PACs, and while away many an idle hour. Just keep a barf bucket handy because this whole campaign finance system is obscene.
