John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:What do Maine and the Virgin Islands have in common? ([link removed]
Donald Sussman has long been one of the most prolific donors to Democratic politicians. He and his now ex-wife Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) would fly wealthy and influential guests, including national politicians, to the Virgin Islands. And he was the single largest supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. CRC's Parker Thayer drags this "billionaire in the shadows" and some of his dubious investments into the light here ([link removed]
How is the Left funding its voter pipeline? ([link removed]
Little is more American than voting. Little is less American than using tax-exempt foundations to do it. The Left dominates the field of politically active nonprofits, particularly those engaged in mass voter registration drives. Voter registration efforts are expensive, and nonprofits spent roughly $434 million on voter registration in 2020 alone. CRC's Hayden Ludwig exposes the Left's massive voter registration machine here ([link removed]
What might an IRS investigation into CTCL and Mark Zuckerberg reveal? ([link removed]
In September, the Center for Renewing America, a right-leaning watchdog, filed "Zuck buck" complaints against the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), Center for Election Innovation and Research, and National Vote at Home Institute and against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife. CRC's Hayden Ludwig wonders what else an IRS investigation might reveal here ([link removed]
Who is pushing "creation care"? ([link removed]
Today's "creation care" proponents may market their doctrines to Christians as scriptural, but the funders behind this campaign are the same foundations bankrolling the secular eco-activist groups responsible for the Green New Deal and other extremist causes. CRC's Hayden Ludwig torpedoes this latest leftist campaign to redefine "pro-life" to include wealth redistribution, open borders, and "social justice" here ([link removed]

ESG InfluenceWatch Hub
Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) activism refers to individuals and organizations that advocate for using ESG criteria to evaluate business operations. ESG considerations can be employed as a basis for investment or divestment in a corporation or fund and for activism targeting those corporations or funds. This activism has led to growing criticism of the ESG movement because it politicizes corporations and can harm returns on investments.
The ESG Activism hub ([link removed] on InfluenceWatch provides an overview of the networks engaged in ESG activism, both its supporters and its opponents. It includes the major players, organizations, and firms that have taken a position on ESG.

A Family Fights the EPA
In this episode ([link removed] "Who decides? Congress or the executive?" is a key question underlying many prominent legal interpretation disputes. One such dispute, over defining "waters of the United States," has trapped one family that sought to build a home on their Idaho property in limbo for over a decade--and two trips to the Supreme Court.
Joining me to discuss Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency and the other work performed by his firm is Pacific Legal Foundation Vice President for Legal Affairs James S. Burling.
