John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:

Is there trouble in the Democratic paradise?
Neera Tanden, President Joseph Biden's nominee for director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has drawn the ire of the socialist wing of the Democratic Party. Tanden has championed the Clinton-Wall Street wing of the party and attacked the Bernie Sanders wing, which fears her overseeing the federal budget. CRC's Shane Devine interprets the message the liberal establishment is sending to left-wing Democrats here.

What was 2020's most underreported story?
Perhaps the biggest underreported story of 2020 was how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife funneled an unprecedented $350 million to local elections officials for COVID-19 "relief." They used the Center for Technology and Civic Life, a sleepy "nonpartisan" charity in Chicago, to effectively privatize the election in many battleground states. Hayden Ludwig explains here.

Who is winning the "dark money" race?
The leftist "dark money" narrative holds that conservatives invest more in politics than liberals do. In fact, the opposite is true. A recent CRC report found liberals beat conservatives in philanthropic giving to public policy fights by almost four to one. I discuss the report's findings and implications for elections here.

What did the Clinton impeachment teach us?
Twenty years ago another impeached President left office under a political cloud. On his last day, Clinton agreed to surrender his law license for five years to avoid being prosecuted for perjury and obstruction of justice after he left office. Ken Braun reminds us of President Clinton's impeachment and his perjury that led to a federal judge holding him in contempt of court here.

InfluenceWatch Podcast 153 The New
Presidential Administration

In this episode: It’s a new week, and there’s a new Presidential administration in town. And if his modern-era unprecedented firing of the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board and his immediate re-entry to the Paris Climate Accord are any indication, the Biden administration will provide a series of favors to the left-wing special interest groups that helped elect him. Joining us to discuss the new administration and the role those special interest groups have had in his transition process is Capital Research Center’s Research Specialist Robert Stilson, who compiled InfluenceWatch’s extensive profile on the Biden-Harris Transition.
