John, I hope you and your family enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July! And I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:

Speaking of July 4, 1776, don't forget 1619....
A large majority of Americans of all races and political inclinations celebrate July 4 as the nation's birthday and believe we should love and respect our country, despite her imperfections. But if you know people who don't hold this view thanks to the New York Times' 1619 Project, please ask them to watch our debunking of the 1619 nonsense. The 8-minute video, available here, has been viewed over 1 million times on multiple platforms.
How New York City screwed up its election (& who's pushing the same disaster on your next election)
The New York City primary elections for mayor were supposed to prove the superiority of left-wing election "reforms." Initially, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams appeared to have a commanding lead after mostly in-person "first preference" votes were tallied. But that lead evaporated in a series of complications that revealed to the nation that some "innovations" pushed by left-wing election groups--ideas funded by billionaires like James and Kathryn Murdoch, Jonathan Soros, Laura and John Arnold, and others--aren't all they're cracked up to be. Read Michael Watson's analysis here.
Which "special interests" are protected by the Biden Administration?
In his continuing research on personnel in the new administration, CRC's Robert Stilson shows how many of the persons serving in the Biden administration previously worked for left-leaning special interest groups. Because the agenda of those groups is turning into White House policies and legislative initiatives, you'll want to learn more about the environmental groups, labor unions, and judicial advocacy groups tied to Biden administration officials. Read Stilson's latest report here.
How did Democratic donors waste nearly $19 million?
Eric Holder, head of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, must have a tough time convincing his donors they got much “bang” for their bucks in 2020. The ultra-partisan attorney general-turned-redistricting litigator led three separate groups on a crusade to redraw congressional and state legislative maps to favor Democrats. But things didn’t go according to plan. Democrats and their activist allies underperformed in state legislatures, losing the local races they needed to control 2021-22 redistricting. CRC's Hayden Ludwig explains how the Democrats will struggle in key state redistricting fights here.

Ludwig Discusses Dark Money Behind Election Intimidation Tactics

On OANN, Hayden Ludwig discusses the Left’s use of “dark money” both as a term to criticize spending by conservative and moderate groups that the Left doesn’t like, and also as a financial tool to promote left-wing policies and politicians. The Center for Civic Information and left-wing voter intimidation tactics in the Georgia Senate run-off elections are also discussed.

Orwellian Fact-Checkers

In this episode: It’s a name worthy of Orwell: The “Committee on Information Disorder,” a project of the posh and well-connected Aspen Institute designed to identify “disinformation” so Big Corporations and Big Government can suppress it. A notionally private-sector, woke-progressive Ministry of Truth, as it were. Joining us to discuss this effort to control the political discourse is Chris Bedford, senior editor of The Federalist.
