While the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory was been exposed as a hoax, a different sort of collusion was real. Hundreds of people in media, politics, law enforcement, and the intelligence community promoted and amplified the conspiracy theories launched by the Steele dossier and other sources. This week CRC staff uploaded the first batch of entries on more than 200 major players in the Trump-Russia conspiracy hoax here ([link removed] For an introduction to this new archive, look here ([link removed]

Amalgamated Bank, controlled by the powerful left-wing labor bosses at the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) proudly serves a left-wing clientele. Yet Sunflower State PAC, an Amalgamated Bank client, spent roughly $5 million backing Kris Kobach in the 2020 Kansas Republican primary election for a U.S. Senate seat, even though Kobach's views on immigration would clearly condemn him as a right-wing extremist to the Left.

The Lincoln Project is a super PAC created by NeverTrump political operatives to defeat President Trump in November and flip the Senate to the Democrats. The group's leaders present themselves as fearless Republicans defending the Constitution, but their funding suggests it is essentially a Democratic PAC flying a Republican flag.

Nonprofit organizations in America had approximately $1.7 trillion in their endowments at the end of 2017. Private foundations, such as the Gates Foundation and the Ford Foundation, held slightly more than $1.0 trillion, while public charities totaled nearly $596 billion, with colleges and universities accounting for more than half of that. The remaining endowment dollars are in donor-advised funds at places like Fidelity Charitable. CRC's Michael E. Hartmann breaks down the numbers here ([link removed]

Podcast #131 Confronting Big Labor ([link removed] this episode ([link removed] it walks like a labor union, talks like a labor union, acts like a labor union, and is funded by labor unions, is it a labor union? That is the question my guest, Maxford Nelsen, Director of Labor Policy at the Freedom Foundation, is asking about Working Washington, a Service Employees International Union front group active in the state of Washington. The Freedom Foundation, alongside the Center for Union Facts, filed a complaint with the Department of Labor asking the Labor Department to regulate Working Washington as a labor union because it advocates for changes in workers' wages, hours, and conditions of employment while taking over $15.5 million in payments from labor unions—most notably the SEIU.Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.
