The Federalist Society seems to know a lot of people with money:

NEW: A dark money group with no website, no employees and no apparent offices brought in $80 million in its first year of operation.

The group’s sole trustee is Leonard Leo, the Trump judicial advisor who’s tied to millions spent on judicial nominations https://t.co/XPTV6ffx1y

Hey remember Rule of Law Trust? The dark money group tied to Leonard Leo that has no website, no employees, and no apparent offices but brought in $80 million in its 1st year?

Turns out it got all of its money from just three anonymous donors who each gave more than $20 million pic.twitter.com/CuQfUvEjHz

That’s what I feel for Rand Paul’s neighbor every time he opens his mouth:

Rand Paul: "If free money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, why not give more free money…Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000?"

Nothing like listening to a person with money lecture about money during a pandemic. pic.twitter.com/cKF97QpqR5

Trump pardoned 20 people last night, including three convicted GOP politicians, mercenaries convicted of war crimes, two people from the Mueller investigation, and some others:

A tabulation by the Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith found that of the 45 pardons or commutations Mr. Trump had granted up until Tuesday, 88% aided someone with a personal tie to the president or furthered his political aims. https://t.co/an0Y7xY6dl

Trump threatened to veto the stimulus/pandemic relief bill that’s part of the omnibus spending. Said the checks weren’t big enough (he’s right, they aren’t). But Trump doesn’t give a shit about hungry people, he’s grandstanding. But Speaker Pelosi hopped right on it:

Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it! https://t.co/Th4sztrpLV
