Trump v. The United States is about presidential immunity — the idea that a president is immune from prosecution for their actions as president even after they leave office. The Supreme Court of the United States is weighing whether or not the president can get away with say…inciting a violent insurrection or conspiring to overturn his own presidential election. Listen to understand why even hearing this case is a gift to the criminally convicted, twice impeached former president, Donald J. Trump, and what it would mean for the Supreme Court to even partially accept his lawyer's argument of “absolute immunity."Glenn Kirschner, former US prosecutor, MSNBC/NBC legal analyst and host of Justice Matters; and Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United and Let America Vote, join Lisa Graves for this episode. Subscribe to this limited series wherever you get your podcasts including Apple and Spotify.

Dan Cicilline reintroduced the legislation, along with 163 House & Senate co-sponsors.  The bill deadlocked in the U.S. Senate in 2022.  Should it pass, the legislation requires nonprofit 501c3 and 501c4 groups making political expenditures to immediately disclose any donor contributing $10,000 or more.  Money-in-politics research group Open Secrets found that both Republican and Democratic dark money groups funneled millions in cash into ads and SuperPACs, much of which was never disclosed directly to the Federal Elections Commission.  Since the 2010 Citizens United decision, dark money skyrocketed from $5 million dollars in 2006 to over $1 billion dollars in 2020.  The legislation would also crack down on the use of shell corporation donors, and requires an organization running television advertising to disclose its top five funders at the end of ads.  We have more about the DISCLOSE Act and stunning Open Secrets dark money data at  AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.

We've got a special double-barreled, two-guest show for you on this week's episode of The Downballot! First up is Tiffany Muller, the president of End Citizens United, who discusses her group's efforts to roll back the corrupting effects of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision as we hit the ruling's 13th anniversary. Muller tells us about ECU's short- and long-term plans to enact serious campaign finance reform; how the organization has expanded into the broader voting rights arena in recent years; and research showing the surprising connection many voters drew between the GOP's attacks on democracy and their war against abortion rights.Then we're joined by law professor Quinn Yeargain to gape slack-jawed at the astonishing setback Gov. Kathy Hochul experienced in the state capitol on Wednesday when a Democratic-led Senate committee rejected her conservative pick to lead New York's top court. Yeargain explains why Hochul's threatened lawsuit to force the legislature to hold a full floor vote on Hector LaSalle defies 250 years of precedent and what will happen if she eventually retreats—as she manifestly should.Transcript to come.

Most is spent on the endless positive and negative TV ads you see during a campaign, using SuperPACs to obscure their identities.  While federal rules say this spending is not supposed to be coordinated with the candidate's campaign, political consultants have concocted ways of flouting those regulations, usually without sanction from the FEC.Democracy advocates say Citizens United gave megaphones to corporations which can shout speech over ordinary citizens, increasing influence by special interests over elected officials.  Those officials then make decisions which are contrary to the best interests of the citizens they are supposed to serve.We have articles and groups taking action, at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl. 

Mayor Jerry Dyer is headed to the White House to meet with President Joe Biden on Friday, Jan. 20. Biden will address Dyer and hundreds of his colleagues as part of the winter U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington. Dyer and Biden met as leaders in August 2021 virtually, discussing the federal infrastructure bill.  Biden opened his comments by saying, “Jerry, I don't want to get you in trouble out in Fresno, California, for letting you know I actually like a Republican. But you've done a hell of a job.”  George Santos was sworn into office Friday despite allegations of fraud and lies about his history. Now, End Citizens United is filing complaints against Santos with the FEC, OCE, and DOJ.  The American Academy of Pediatrics updated clinical practice guidelines to evaluate and treat children and adolescents with obesity.

Bill Smith has had a successful political career working in campaign management, messaging research and communications, and movement building. When a family tragedy occurred, he became aware of the lack of accessible mental health care for children, teenagers, and their families. Bill decided to use his experience in politics to fight for the future of mental health through a coalition called Inseparable.    “There ought to be no wrong door and no wrong place to talk about mental health and what's going on in your life. If we can create that kind of environment, I am convinced we can get a whole lot of people who will look to the political system and say: We are not doing this right and we are not going to take it anymore. We are going to demand that you fix the things that are broken and that are keeping people from getting the help they need to have a good life.” - Bill Smith   Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick Kennedy as they discuss how Inseparable and Bill Smith are partnering with leaders and community members to prioritize mental health care in schools.    Our guest, Bill Smith, is founder and president of Inseparable, and founding partner of Civitas Public Affairs Group, a values-based firm working on some of the most pressing societal challenges of our day. Bill has built his career advancing significant public policy initiatives and winning elections. He led the development of innovative strategies to pass, block, and protect key policy outcomes, while advising a network of donors that strategically invested into targeted campaigns to win the freedom to marry and advance LGBTQ+ equality. Bill has worked extensively as a general consultant, and has built winning campaigns for elected officials, political groups, and non-profit organizations across the country.
