Citizens United was the beginning of the end of our democracy
Randy Perkins donated $500,000 to a pro-Trump super PAC a day after his company won federal money as part of a contract. The same PAC was dubbed "Committee 1" in a federal indictment alleging illegal donations from Giuliani's associates.https://www.propublica.org/article/the-pro-trump-super-pac-at-the-center-of-the-ukraine-scandal-has-faced-multiple-campaign-finance-complaints?utm_content=buffer3d382&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer …

If ever we needed a Constitutional amendment to preserve democracy, an amendment that overturns Citizens United is IT. And it's one that ALL Americans of every political stripe should support.

Also known known as kickbacks.

Perkins donated $500K. The contract extension was $469K, the whole contract $1.7MM. There's got to be more money or promises elsewhere.

Perkins infiltrated my district as a “democrat” in 16 and made false smears against the other D in the primary (who is an amazing human) and then tanked the general to Mast, who took money from Parnas......smells to high heaven.

Oh, damn. Is there a good breakdown/analysis of this published somewhere that we can use for reference?

In 2020 I will cast my vote to remove Donald J. Trump and his corrupt administration from office. If Congress will not impeach Trump, we citizens will act by voting him out of office.

A lot smarter and a lot better chance if "we citizens" acted by voting Trump out of office AND demanding that those votes be counted observably in public.

Possible historical through line to the majority of challenges, scandals, & political realities of the present era in US: the consequences & ramifications of Citizens United. (which is not to say there isn’t a longer history or pattern, just that ruling was when the dam broke)
