  • Businesses Tied to Mccaskill's Husband Got Federal Dollars | The
    LATEST NEWS Businesses linked to McCaskill’s husband get $131 million in federal dollars BY KELSEY RYAN AND LINDSAY WISE [email protected] [email protected] July 24, 2018 04:00 AM WASHINGTON — Businesses tied to U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill’s husband have been awarded more than $131 million in federal subsidies since the Missouri Democrat took office in 2007, an analysis by The Kansas City Star found. Joseph Shepard’s personal income from his investments in those businesses has grown exponentially during his wife’s two terms in the Senate. The federal payments don’t go directly into Shepard’s pocket. Most of the money goes toward operating costs for government-subsidized housing projects Shepard is invested in. Those companies then distribute the profits to Shepard and other investors. In 2006, the year before McCaskill entered the Senate, her husband’s personal income from those investments was between $1,608 and $16,731, according to the senator’s financial disclosure forms. In 2017, five years into McCaskill’s second term, Shepard personally earned between $365,374 and $1,118,158 from investments in housing projects that received federal subsidies, the disclosure forms show. Disclosure forms only provide ranges of income. There’s no evidence that McCaskill played any part in directing federal funds to businesses affiliated with her husband. The senator does not sit on committees that oversee the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agencies that award affordable housing contracts and loans to developers and pay out the subsidies.

  • Inside Trump's Stunning Upset Victory
    1/4/2017 Inside Trump’s Stunning Upset Victory - POLITICO Magazine AP Photo 2016 Inside Trump’s Stunning Upset Victory ‘Jesus, can we come back from this?’ the nominee asked as his numbers tanked. Because of Clinton, he did. By ALEX ISENSTADT, ELI STOKOLS, SHANE GOLDMACHER and KENNETH P. VOGEL | November 09, 2016 t was Friday afternoon, an hour after America heard Donald Trump bragging on tape I about sexually assaulting women, when Roger Stone’s phone rang. A secretary in Trump’s office had an urgent request: The GOP nominee wanted the political dark-arts operative to resend a confidential memo he had penned less than two weeks earlier. It was a one-page guide on Stone’s favorite line of attack against the Democratic nominee—how to savage Hillary Clinton for Bill Clinton’s history with other women. It was an issue, Stone wrote, that is “NOT about marital infidelity, adultery or ‘indiscretions.’” http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/donald-trump-wins-2016-214438 1/14 1/4/2017 Inside Trump’s Stunning Upset Victory - POLITICO Magazine It was also, however, a political third rail for most conventional candidates—a tactic that Republicans had tested and deemed a failure, and an approach so ugly that even the Clintons’ most vocal detractors urged Trump against. But the GOP nominee, recognizing his crude, abusive comments caught on an Access Hollywood tape as a potential campaign-ender, needed no convincing; he was insulted by the uproar, shocked at the double-standard he felt he was facing compared with Bill Clinton, and decided it was time to return fire.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.

Trump of an Executive Order barring U.S. access to people from certain countries, colleges and universities around the country responded swiftly. Below are stories about some Consortium members and their responses: Within three days of the February 4th issuance of the Order, Georgetown University, in adherence to its Jesuit traditions, announced it was providing resources to students and scholars affected by the Order. Upon the issuance of the first Order, Georgetown University President John DeGioia said “We are an institution that values the contributions of our international students, staff and faculty, and we are deeply committed to interreligious dialogue and providing a context in which members of all faith backgrounds are welcomed and encouraged to practice their faith;” In a story on this topic also related to Georgetown, Judge James Robart, who issued the court ruling suspending the February 4th Executive Order, is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center (Law ’73). Judge Robart’s ruling blocking the implementation of the Order nationwide was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which resulted in the Robart ruling continuing to block the president’s Executive Order from going into effect.

  • October 14, 2020 Submitted Via Email and U.S.P.S. Federal Election
    October 14, 2020 Submitted via email and U.S.P.S. Federal Election Commission Office of Complaints Examination and Legal Administration Attn: Mary Beth deBeau, Paralegal 1050 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20463 [email protected] RE: Supplemental evidence for MUR 7147 Dear Ms. deBeau: On October 6, 2016, Campaign Legal Center (“CLC”) filed a complaint with the Commission alleging that the super PAC Make America Number 1 (ID: C00575373) had made illegal in-kind contributions to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s authorized campaign committee, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. (ID: C00580100). The Commission designated the matter MUR 7147. CLC supplemented the complaint on December 2, 2016 and on April 12, 2017. We write to supplement the complaint with additional evidence in the form of newly published emails and other documents from the 2016 election. CLC’s original complaint alleged, among other things, that Make America Number 1 (also known as the “Defeat Crooked Hillary” super PAC) made unlawful and unreported expenditures in coordination with the Trump campaign by way of the common vendor Cambridge Analytica.1 The Trump campaign paid Cambridge Analytica $5.9 million in the 2016 cycle,2 and Make America Number 1 reported paying over $5 million to Cambridge Analytica after the super PAC began supporting Trump.3 Both Make America Number 1 and the Trump campaign contracted with Cambridge Analytica for similar services—such as developing the content of communications and targeting voters— and CLC’s original complaint alleged that Cambridge Analytica used or conveyed to Make America Number 1 information about the Trump campaign’s “plans, projects, activities or needs,” and that such information was “material to the creation, production, or distribution” of the super PAC’s ads supporting Trump or attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
