Dear Chair DeLauro, Chair Leahy, Ranking Member Granger, and Vice Chair Shelby:
On behalf of the undersigned individuals, civil society organizations, and industry groups, we urge you to increase the share of discretionary funding available for the Legislative branch both to address the historically diminished resources available to the Legislative branch and to meet the challenges facing Congress in our current time of crisis. We firmly believe that dedicating resources to build a stronger, more capable Congress is of key importance to our democracy and is necessary for it to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities. Therefore,
we urge you to increase the 302(b) allocation for the legislative branch by 10 percent as you determine spending levels for FY 2022.
What do you call someone who only works to elect Democrats, opposes conservatives, and donated to the Biden campaign? The answer is obvious: A Democrat.
That’s the platform of Defending Democracy Together, a top “dark money” group that bills itself as an “advocacy organization created by lifelong conservatives and Republicans” really Washington establishment hacks opposed to former President Donald Trump.
The unfortunately named DDT publishes The Bulwark, a refuge for indignant NeverTrumpers, through its 501(c)(3) arm. Both groups are led by Bill Kristol, once a leading conservative thinker who’s since sought refuge among leftists, declaring himself a Democrat last February.

But it turns out that RAP Executive Director,
Bulwark publisher and “Never Trump Republican” Sarah Longwell isn’t just anti-Trump. She’s pro-Biden. Federal Election Commission records show that Longwell donated $750 to Biden’s campaign, meaning Longwell has a vested interest in seeing Biden installed as the new president. Kristol also serves as Editor-at-Large for
The Bulwark.
What’s even more revealing is that
The Bulwark claims to provide “political analysis and reporting free from the constraints of partisan loyalties or tribal prejudices.” Clearly, the publication s claim that it’s “free from the constraints of partisan loyalties” is not the case.

Defending Democracy Together, NeverTrumper and Bulwark Editor-at-Large Bill Kristol’s group, is pulling out all the stops in an attempt to destroy President Donald Trump’s reelection chances.
Defending Democracy Together (DDT), which has received $1.6 million from liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund Voice, “has spent $11.5 million on independent expenditures opposing Trump or backing Democratic nominee Joe Biden,” according to Open Secrets. Reportedly, DDT is the “the top spending ‘dark money’ group of the 2020 election cycle so far.”
Kristol is listed by Influence Watch as DDT’s “Board Chair.” Through its project Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), of which Kristol is “founding director,” DDT “runs an onslaught of unconventional ads featuring Republicans who plan to vote against Trump in November,” Open Secrets said.
