[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

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.

[Michael Beckel @mjbeckel]

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

.@IssueOneReform's Money in Politics Reform Director @mjbeckel talked about the ruling in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC, a case in which the Supreme Court struck down limits on party spending in federal elections.

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.

[Michael Beckel @mjbeckel]

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.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

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: Big Tech, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI) titans spent a combined $20 million on lobbying during the first three months of 2026 — an average of about $226,000 per day, @IssueOneReform review of new filings shows

https://t.co/x0vNVbaLDj

[Issue One @IssueOneReform]

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.

[Michael Beckel @mjbeckel]

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

[Issue One @IssueOneReform]

Every authoritarian uses the same playbook to take over elections. Putting loyalists in key positions to interfere is Step #2 ✅

[ProPublica @propublica]

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 https://t.co/H7MEXBcZ74

[Project On Government Oversight @POGOwatchdog]

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. https://t.co/ITu9QxzJi0

Super PACs are a “major threat to our democracy” warns @IssueOneReform on anniversary of ruling that created them https://t.co/cYV2oHUuBo

This week’s rulings send a clear message: It's time for Congress to act by passing comprehensive kids’ safety legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act and finally updating Section 230.

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

Today’s verdict in the landmark social media case marks a monumental victory for parents and children who have had the door slammed in their face by Big Tech for years.

It’s time for Congress to enshrine protections for American families into law by passing #KOSA.

[Senator Amy Klobuchar @SenAmyKlobuchar]

Senator Murkowski makes it clear: legislation being pushed through Congress could make it harder for thousands of Alaskans and rural Americans — both Republicans and Democrats — to register to vote.

Voting rights should not be a partisan issue.

[Issue One @IssueOneReform]

When a leadership PAC doesn't spend most of its money on politics, it raises questions about where the money is going instead. Leadership PACs have long been criticized by both liberals & conservatives alike as slush funds that raise most of their money from special interests

[The Frontier @readfrontier]

Federal rules do not require U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin to shut down his leadership PAC if he is confirmed to lead the Department of Homeland Security. The committee has spent money on flights on private jets, limousine rentals and luxury hotels.

Lawmakers in both parties should continue to push Congress to pass the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act

[Michael Beckel @mjbeckel]

Reps @timburchett (R-TN) & @AOC (D-NY) are right: The so-called Stop Insider Trading Act won't actually solve the problem of insider trading.

Lawmakers in both parties should continue to push Congress to pass the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

The SAVE America Act would centralize dangerous voter-screening power in presidential appointees, undermining the Constitution’s design, warns Cato’s Walter Olson.

He notes the urgency: after trying to overturn a lost election once, Trump could gain new tools to challenge voter eligibility again.
