Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a political network that has brought multiple cases before the Supreme Court.

    “He wasn’t there for the fundraising parts, he was just there to promote his own stuff. And put his face on our conferences. And be directly available to our supporters. But it’s ridiculous to think he did anything actually partisan.” -Koch spokesperson

      This is literally the article that is linked in this post. I’m not sure what you’re getting at, or if this is another one of those odd UI issues between lemmy and kbin…

        No, on Lemmy I can see your link just fine. Thanks for sharing btw.

        Why do I get the feeling that no news ever about CT will be good news?

        Yes, and I couldn’t get it to load without going to propublica.org directly. So I linked it directly, to help others. There’s still a few flaky things about the fediverse, and since I’d gone to the trouble to find the article, I figured to save others a few clicks.

          Hmm. On the beehaw side there is a link to the main propublica site, but the title is also a link directly to the article. It’s probably the usual lemmy/kbin oddness.

            That’s what I’m thinking, too. Still better to be here.
