1. I HATE this.

Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.

2. He's really terrific, he stands up and fights for so much

His signature issues are climate change and Supreme Court corruption, now he's taking on offensive bigotry.

3. Yes.

I guess I assume he hasn't discussed this with Senator Cortez Masto.Or maybe he has.

4. Great explantion of how the billionaires use Leonard Leo to funnel their dark money into American politics.

I'm amazed that Sen. Whitehouse is able to quote total dollar amounts poured into each separate ad campaign to smear targeted Biden nominees for judgeships.

This is very interesting. I would certainly want to hear more.

Thanks for posting this.

5. Thanks! And I follow much of what Senator Whitehouse does, he's extremely proactive and speaks out

His main issues are climate change and Supreme Court corruption, and now he's speaking out on the prejudice towards this qualified judge nominates by President Biden.

7. Boy, is this guy GOOD!

After watching the recommended video (link posted above), I went onto Senator Whitehouse's YouTube channel. I watched his newest video where he questions Treasury's Janet Yellen in a Finance Committee Hearing.

He explains dark money in more broad terms; How dark money gets in where it shouldn't. Extremely interesting. I'm not a finance guy, but easily understandable as he explains it all so well.
