Propublica just broke this story of their investigation: Trump is using his media company to allow rich donors to buy a piece of Trump and reap the benefits in the form of government contracts and tax breaks if he gets elected again. The investigative reporting connects the new “Trump TV” to a streaming technology company in Melania’s home country (Slovenia) and to a rich Republican donor who had made millions off his relationship with Trump already.

This is what more podcasts should be like. Important information that too many Americans are unaware of. Great history.

I remember watching Anita Hill testify on tv as a teenager and believing here and also hoping Thomas wouldn’t be accepted.

Supreme Court mischief, and the players behind it! This is a terrific short, to the point effort by two legislators involved in court matters to keep us informed on how SCOTUS has been corrupted over the years by moneyed interests. And how to remedy it. Required listening, IMHO.

Is Mike Johnson funded and promoted into this position by Leo?

What an excellent & informative wealth of investigative facts. Every American should be required to listen to this. From top-of-the class scholars and practitioners on everything Scotus.

Like the Left isn't doing the exact same thing "Soros"

I am so impressed with Senator Whitehouse. We desperately need him to be president!

I have followed The Scheme Senator Whitehouse introduced a few years ago. This has led to me utter contempt for any decision eroding our rights as US citizens by this captured court. Keep the pressure on and thank you.!

An important deep dive into the slimy world of dark money corruption.

Rep. Hank Johnson is truly a champion of court reform

Every American of voting age must listen to these episodes, which identify the threat to our Republic. Only after identifying the threat, the usurpation of our liberties by oligarchs, can we address it. Sen. Whitehouse is a true patriot as he continues to expose the dark money to the light.

I have at least 10 close friends who are democrats & very concerned for our democracy. They will send out the news of this podcast also, with the challenge of sending out more & so on….. Thank you & Godspeed Democracy

Senator Whitehouse has been ringing alarm bells for a while now. And is fighting for our rights. Exposing the dark money in our judicial system. Give him a boost. Send his podcast to your friends.

I was thrilled when I read that Sen. Whitehouse announced his upcoming podcast . I am happy to report that it was informative and I am looking forward to next episode.

Thank you all for doing this podcast and for the years you have worked to help unravel the corruption in this mess of a court.

Thank you Senator Whitehouse so much for speaking out on the twisted corruption and corporate take over of our Supreme Court ! You are truly a breath of fresh air and a beacon of light in our dark times. You’re educating our public which is so badly needed. Keep up the good work we are behind you.

Hardly anywhere teaches Civics anymore, making this factual, calmly presented explanation of the Court’s purpose and flaws an essential contribution. Thanks Senator, and keep on with your crusade!

Haven’t even listened yet but Sheldon Whitehouse is my new hero. Watching him explain intricacies is so helpful and his smile is the best. His Senate hearings are outstanding. Thank you for being here for all of us. Unfortunate we are at such a terrible juncture but you and other “good guys” are what we need now and for our future democracy it is so vulnerable,sadly many chose not to listen learn and research. Going to listen now.

Should be mandatory for all Americans. Ignore the right wing trolls trying to discredit by writing false reviews, based on political bias.

I’m a big fan of Senator Whitehouse ever since Trump was able to fill the Supreme Court so easily. Senator Whitehouse seemed to know, and was trying to explain , how the process isn’t fair. Finally, he has the platform he’s been craving to explain all the dark money - how it gets there- and the groups created to make that happen. An eye opening podcast! Loved it! Can’t wait for the next! Carrie from , MA

Sheldon, this podcast you've just made is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent dissertations did you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who has listened to it is now dumber for having read it. I award you one star, for I can’t leave zero, and may God have mercy on your soul.

A captivating explainer on where the Supreme Court went wrong. I’ll definitely tune-in for episode two!
