"Senate Republicans blocked the DISCLOSE ACT. No surprise there, but they should be held accountable. They’re making a mockery of our democracy, once again. Their logic? That required disclosure of the names of wealthy or corporate political donors might cause them to be intimidated, and therefore infringe on their First Amendment rights. I don’t know many billionaires who intimidate easily, especially when it comes to making large political contributions. And I’ve never heard of an intimidated corporation."
