☆ Big problems with small money? Republicans catch up to Democrats in online giving

WASHINGTON — Republicans are beginning to catch up with Democrats in online fundraising, creating, for the first time in modern history, a political landscape where both parties are largely funded by small donations, for better — or some say worse. In the last quarter, the GOP’s three main party committees raised from small donations amounts nearly identical to their Democratic counterparts. Campaign finance laws give an advantage to raising lots of small donations instead of big checks from wealthy individuals, since donations are maxed out at $2,900. While small dollars tend to be romanticized — Democrats’ voting rights bill includes provision to encourage such giving by matching $6 in public funds for every $1 in small donations — some see a big downside to empowering small donors, who tend to be the most ideological and online. “Candidates know that if they can successfully stoke this culture of outrage that is likely to open the spigot of small donations.”

By May 2020, incarcerated people had received 84,861 payments totalling $100 million, the IG report said. Dead people received 1.2 million payments totalling $1.6 billion. Colin Scholl and Lisa Strawn, who were both incarcerated, argued in their complaint that the "IRS has no legal basis for withholding, retracting, or asking others to intercept stimulus payments to incarcerated persons." She wrote that excluding anyone from stimulus payments solely based on whether they were incarcerated was "arbitrary and capricious."

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky defended her agency's decision to shift its guidance on masking. The CDC this week recommended that fully vaccinated people mask up in areas of high transmission. This weighed heavily on me to have to do this," Walensky said during a Friday appearance on Fox News. According to data from the CDC, 49.5% of people in the US are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, while 57.4% of people in the US are at least partially vaccinated. Walensky previously said the change this week was a result of new information on the transmission of the highly contagious Delta variant.

MyPillow Chief Executive Mike Lindell said he is pulling ads from Fox News after the network said it wouldn't take one of his commercials. Lindell said he spent almost $50 million on the network last year, and about $19 million so far this year, to run his ads. Since the 2020 presidential election, Lindell has been claiming adamantly that there was widespread voter fraud, with votes stolen from President Donald Trump.

Hunter Biden said "f--- 'em," when asked how he responds to critics who say his art is overpriced. Hunter Biden is "complexly famous, but not yet for art," Young told Politico, adding, "Guess people will pay for a known last name." Biden's art venture is the latest ethical dilemma his business dealings have posed for his father. However, nonpartisan experts and government officials testified that despite the optics of Hunter Biden's work with Burisma, there was no evidence that his father was involved with his dealings or that Hunter Biden's activities ran afoul of the law. "In one way, I think I'm the most famous artist in the MAGA world, at least," he added.

The chief executive of MyPillow Inc., one of Fox News’s big advertisers, said he is pulling his ads from the network after a disagreement over a proposed commercial. Mike Lindell said he made the decision after Fox News declined to run a commercial linked to his efforts to promote his claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Security and election officials have said there is no proof of widespread election fraud. “It’s unfortunate Mr. Lindell has chosen to pause his commercial time on FOX News given the level of success he’s experienced in building his brand through advertising on the number one cable news network,” Fox News said in a statement. Mr. Lindell said he wanted to cancel the ads as soon as possible and that he had told his ad buyer to inform Fox News.

The Washington Post surveyed people's news sources and vaccine hesitancy. A quarter of people relying on Facebook for their news said they wouldn't get a COVID-19 shot. The Washington Post published its findings after Facebook got into a fight with the White House over vaccine hesitancy in the US. Facebook also offered its own statistics, saying 85% of Facebook users in the US have been, or want to be, vaccinated. The Washington Post analysis said this statistic wasn't helpful in trying to understand Facebook's effect on vaccine hesitancy because it didn't compare Facebook users with non-users.

Mitch McConnell sought to assign blame to Democrats for the slowing US vaccination rate. In remarks on the Senate floor Monday, McConnell claimed that Joe Biden had taken over a highly successful vaccination program from President Donald Trump. "This turn toward pessimism is especially stunning and especially sad because President Biden took office with wind at his back." McConnell's comments come amid debate in recent weeks about why the US rate of people getting vaccinated is lagging behind that of other developed nations. Polls indicate a partisan divide in the willingness to get vaccinated, with Republicans less likely to say they are planning on getting the shot.
