From the party of law and order

Or was it the party of transparency? Or the party of patriotism? Democracy? The party of Dark Money? Oh, never mind:

[quote]Senate Republicans filibustered the popular DISCLOSE Act, which seeks to expose the super-wealthy donors who are spending unlimited amounts of undisclosed money to ensure that the U.S. government advances their interests at the expense of the vast majority.

...After all 49 of his GOP colleagues in attendance voted to prevent debate on the legislation endorsed by President Joe Biden, Whitehouse released a statement slamming right-wing lawmakers for fighting to preserve "dark money's poisonous influence over American democracy."

Most of what is in the bill likely won't do much. The exact same info has been available for years through Open Secrets. Democracy is a participation sport that many people barely do the minimum.

The bit about requiring donor info at the end of TV ads might have an impact though. And that is something new.
