From @adam_bonica: "My analysis of…#FEC [filings] reveals that, at most, $11 million of the $678 million raised [by a certain group of Dem PACS] has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees…This represents a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent."

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine

How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

On Data and Democracy

#Trump has been able to capitalize on a thirst from #corporate America to get into his good graces. He held a half-dozen fund-raisers for his super #PAC this year with tickets costing seven figures a seat. At the dinners, often held at one of Trump’s properties, executives & lobbyists had the chance to tell the president about their businesses.

The super PAC’s exact cash on hand is $196.1 million, according to the #FEC filing.

#Trump’s super #PAC is sitting on about $200 million that it can spend against his rivals, giving a term-limited president a never-before-seen amount of #power in his party’s finances and future.

In the first half of 2025, Trump’s group, #MAGA Inc., collected about $177 million from the likes of #ElonMusk, Trump’s erstwhile ally, the #TikTok investor #JeffreyYass & the #SiliconValley execs #BenHorowitz & #MarcAndreessen, according to a filing on Thursday with the #FEC.

Trump, Term-Limited, Amasses $200 Million War Chest for Political Ambitions

The money is meant to beat Democrats, but some Republicans worry it could be used to beat Republicans, too.

Elon #Musk says he is forming a new political party to take on the 'duopoly', although he has filed no application to the #FEC. The fact that everyone hates Musk may have an adverse effect. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/08/musk-wants-to-create-a-third-party-it-wont-be-so-easy-00442849

@freifunkMUC war zumindest bei Audio sehr begeistert von #RaptorQ, einem #ForwardErrorCorrection (#FEC) Mechanismus, für den es auch einen #RFC gibt (falls es bei euch überhaupt mit packetloss auf der Strecke zusammenhängen sollte): https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6330
Wird aber leider bisher nur von @gstreamer über ein #rust plugin unterstützt, @videolan kann das leider noch nicht.

Hm, das wäre doch auch nochmal ein lustiger Testcase für die neuen #Multicast features mit #Gluon + @batadv :-).

@msnbc @msnbc Why is Katie Tur and her guests talking about the midterms as if they will be run normally? Do you really think Trump, the DOJ, and the FEC are going to allow a fair election?

役所にいくつかの申請書を提出する必要もありました。

なりませんでした。
当時の独裁者タンシュエ上級大将の支配下では、まあ、そういうことで。
いえ、懐かしい。
