Plus: Groups on Left, Right Ask Supreme Court to Allow Donors to Remain Anonymous

Good morning from Washington, where the Supreme Court hears a case that may determine Americans’ freedom to donate anonymously to favorite causes. GianCarlo Canaparo illustrates what’s on the line. Rich localities in Democrat-run states rake in cash from Democrats’ “stimulus” bill, Fred Lucas reports. On the podcast, an Arizona lawmaker won’t let a defeat stop her push for secure elections. Plus: Democrats’ war on the Electoral College; Kamala Harris spearheads the White House’s union membership drive; and one college says no to President Biden’s transgender agenda. On this date in 1865, the overcrowded steamboat Sultana explodes on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee, killing 1,700 passengers—including hundreds of discharged Union soldiers.
The “stimulus” bill—so far the most significant legislation signed by President Biden—includes $350 billion in direct funding for state and local governments.
Organizations as diverse as the ACLU, PETA, Concerned Women for America, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Wisconsin Right to Life, and many more are joining forces to argue for anonymous donations.
Arizona state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita discusses legislation designed to ensure the integrity of state elections, and the 2020 election audit moving forward in the Grand Canyon state.
“The president and vice president believe that the decline of union membership is contributing to serious societal and economic problems in our country,” the White House says.
