Sen Whitehouse:Congress has been contorted by all this rightwing, dark money spending, & we need to break that. I'm really hoping the Biden admin. will focus on what's behind all this. I think Pres. Biden has only used the phrase "dark money" once in his presidency
@SenWhitehouse

Sheldon Whitehouse: We need to call out the Court that dark money built.
