Charles and David Koch have pledged to spend an astounding $889 million on the 2016 elections. As my colleague Luke Brinker pointed out earlier today, that level of spending is unprecedented, surpassing the dollar amount of any previous campaign cycle. For comparison the Republican National Committee and the GOP’s two congressional committees spent a combined $657 million in 2012 -- $232 million less than the Kochs plan to spend next year.So what’re they buying, exactly?

  • House GOP Launches Giveaway To Big Oil; Blames Biden For Gas Prices
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/25/2024 - 05:15 PM

Republicans in turn have blamed President Joe Biden’s energy policies for high gas prices, with the potency of the issue for both parties illustrated by a new poll in seven battleground states that shows the economy and cost of living at the top of voters’ minds in the 2024 campaign for the presidency. The Biden administration earlier this week said 1 million gallons of oil will be released from reserves in the northeastern United States, in an effort to curb prices ahead of summer driving.
