They want an oligarchy.

Well, they want voter suppression. They captured the Supreme Court. They want climate denial. They want deregulation. They don’t want pollution -- polluters to be have any enforcement against them. They want basically a very old-school…

What they want is a Supreme Court that will give them things that Congress won’t give them.

For the information of the Senate, there will be up to three rollcall votes at approximately 4:30 p.m. in relation to the NATO treaty. ____________________

Poll after poll shows Americans overwhelmingly by margins of 85 to 90 percent want this.

Twelve years after Citizens United, Americans know something is deeply amiss in our democracy.

Only 25 percent of Americans say they have confidence in the Supreme Court.

If we get rid of the damned stuff, this horrible decade of dark money corruption can come to an end.

I submit to you that the distress in our Republic has much to do with corrupting political influence acquired via unlimited, anonymous dark money.

They see Government actually erasing rights on which generations of Americans relied.

For the information of the Senate, the first rollcall vote of the day will begin at 11:45 a.m. on confirmation of the Heinzelman nomination to be General Counsel of the CIA, with another vote at 1:45 p.m. on the motion to invoke cloture on…

Here is what TPPF's former vice president said about the organization producing industry-friendly research and advocacy in exchange for donations from industries that would financially benefit from the industry-friendly policies.

I think that is what the fact-checking shows.
