Another great piece Judd. This is exactly the problem. Corporations have no accountability in their support of the extreme policies of the GOP. This is the people's fault. As the Republican platform gets more and more distorted with sensationalism and hypocritical wedge issues whose function solely is to embroil the population in a culture war, corporations will have a harder time concealing their support for this chicanery thanks to your watchful eye. Kudos on your TikTok platform. We are in support 100%.
1) I wish Popular Information luck on TikTok but I will still not sign up for that social media site.
2) I am increasingly concerned about the Senate elections and some of the Governor's races. Polls wildly overstated Democrat support in both 2016 and 2020, and I'm worried that the same thing is occurring again.
I don't use any social media except Facebook, where I keep up with my high school class, the town where I grew up, and animals. TikTok is great for Judd to get good messages out to young people, so I'm in favor of of that.
I'm not seriously concerned about the presidential race, but much more so about the down tickets. There is a troubling trend where MAGA has been gaining ground, along with QAnon and originalists. Trump has been holding rallies without declaring his own candidacy, but to spread his toxic message and to endorse fascist candidates. I never thought America would come to this.
I am concerned that I might be part of that oversampling of Democratic opinions. We are one of the few households in my area that still have a landline, so we get opinion poll calls constantly during election season (which has now morphed into nearly always). I've stopped answering most of them to see if we can cut down that oversampling in Michigan, at least.
Oz is a charlatan who pushed supplements and unproven medicines in order to profit off Americans. He refuses to acknowledge that PA elected Biden, voted in the Turkish election as recently as 2018, only recently purchased a house in PA & stands side by side to white supremacist/ antisemite/Jan 6 insurrectionist Mastriano.
Very good piece! I don’t think enough people have any idea the function of the Chamber, buried in corporate secrecy as they are. What a contrast to the example of good stewardship they were in my parents day. That alone should say a helluva lot.
Amazing how scummy our politics are. If it's illegal to donate a certain amount directly to this person or organization, let's create a PAC or a Super-PAC and then we can donate directly to this person or organization. How is that allowed? Why not just let them donate directly? If creating a PAC reaches the same result, why even bother? They're still doing the same thing but now it's "legal" because they did it through a PAC? What's the difference and why are you allowed to be anonymous? If it's a corporation donating, they should have to disclose who they are. We need PAC reform
Oh no! I certainly hope not. How many beads for 6 gallons of 94 octane and an oil change? How many beads to pay my ISPN and my electric bill? Therein lies madness!
How is the Senate Leadership Fund even legal? Seems like it's just a way to bypass all campaign finance laws and put a ton of money under the control of McConnell. I've learned so much from this article and I'm just shaking my head at how absurd, yet deeply concerning, it all is.
It is really is a fright to see these people preparing their plan to cheat in broad daylight. This is why TFG MUST be taken to prison VERY soon! Haul all of the accomplices away.
I write post cards for John Fetterman. Oz is another pretender but smarter than Walker in GA. GOP has proven disinterest in good candidates just toe the party lies. The whole corporate and 1% scenario is an across the board attack on Democracy and has been years in the making.
Thanks for this article. Good luck on Tik Tok. Should get younger viewers. Might want to throw in cute puppy videos once in awhile. Sorry could not resist lol
Cathy, I have 100 postcards for Democrat voters but have been unable to find voter names/addresses to send these to. Can you help me find an outfit that will provide me with these, please? Running out of time!
Thanks Judd. I always knew the Chamber of Commerce was inextricably linked to the Right Wing . However I didn’t realize how much their ‘secrecy’ mattered to them . It clearly indicates that they acknowledge the nefarious nature of their relationship and their actions with regard to their ‘ parent’ company the GOP.
I hope all PI readers consider donating to the Fetterman campaign. Also, the Warnock campaign (vs Herschel Walker in Georgia) needs help. Polling results in these two races are very close,and small dollar contributions can help.
As a small business owner I love that the local chapters love to try and distance themselves from the US Chamber..... but they can't.... the Chamber has never been pro labor and are partially responsible for the demisof the middle class... I will never be a member .
Wow, Oz has sunk to depths even further than I thought. He has come off as a skeezy charlatan for years, but I didn't know he was so far up Trump's nether regions. This is another case showing how birds of a feather flock together. DJT attracts the worst of humanity.

The Chamber supports corporations and the wealthy - and not us, the people!
If they had any morals or values, they would be ashamed of themselves! Reprehensible!

And unfortunately Bonnie, it does say a lot. Of the wrong type of thing.

Citizen's United (what a f-----g name eh?) legalized bribery.
Why? Dammit why? How much money is enough? And I have a Capitol One credit card. Or should I say I "had one?"
Are we all going to go back to paying for things with beads?
Oh no! I certainly hope not. How many beads for 6 gallons of 94 octane and an oil change? How many beads to pay my ISPN and my electric bill? Therein lies madness!
Excellent news about Tik Tok, Judd. The
more exposure Popular Information get
the better.

You have found reason or it has found you. Yes. Agreed. Many times yes!
Meaning what?
Just teasing you while agreeing with you.

The only "good" thing anyone can say about Oz is that he's smarter than Walker. May they both be trounced decisively!

If you are in a swing state, contact your local or state Democratic Party.
You pay for stamps and sometimes the cards.
Phone banking and texting work, too! Thanks for doing this!

Oh, no! What a farce! You are a major force in exposure of these shenanigans. I appreciate your reporting so much.
