Every plan, $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending. Zero tears. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.

The Supreme Court in 1976 upheld the basic framework of our campaign finance laws, this contribution thing. Like, we're going to limit the amount of money that can be given to a campaign. But the RNC said that's not enough. They want that to be unlimited. this was a case where the court had ruled on this question before. And the Supreme Court just sort of like drove through that as if it was just air. And that is a really big deal. And so the question is like, what campaign finance law is this court going to uphold if it is not this one? Let's put it this way. If you were Supreme Court trying to look partisan, these are probably some of the things you would do.
Jessica Tarlov 2:06
Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Jessica Tarlow, and I am very excited to be joined today by America's foremost election lawyer, Democratic savior, or he's trying to save us as much as he can. The deck is stacked against him sometimes, but he's still notching up big wins. Democracy Docket founder Mark Elias is here. I'm so excited. How are you? I'm okay.
Marc Elias 2:25
You know, had a... Had a good few days. It was weird. It was like a long, long weekend, you know, between Donald Trump's craziness in Washington, D.C., which was really crazier than it seems.
Jessica Tarlov 2:38
It's where I wanted to start, so I'm glad you got us right in there. So I was in D.C. just on Thursday. We did an outdoor show in the 104-degree heat, which was a hellscape beyond imagination.
Marc Elias 2:51
Now, were you at the thing on the mall where nobody went?
Jessica Tarlov 2:56
Until Saturday. The Internet is dunking on me a lot because I made a video on Thursday when there was no one there. I said, hey, there's no one out here and you should be inside if you are here. It's like there was a little baby, which is very unsafe to have them out in those conditions. Then by Saturday, there were hundreds of thousands of patriots, including white nationalists. I'm sure you saw that as well. I did. So I have surrendered. People showed up on Saturday to see Donald Trump. But yes, I was on the mall.
Marc Elias 3:26
So I wanted to ask you about this. So like, did they, did they think people would show up? Like, do you know what I mean? Like, like, because nothing about it seems to be set up to be all that enticing for people to show up. Like, of course people show up for fireworks, but like the little like mini arch and like the, the ill-constructed sets, like, did they think people were going to show up for this?
Jessica Tarlov 3:49
Yeah, definitely. I mean, I guess not enough to actually spend the appropriate amount of money to ensure that the thing didn't break. But yeah, I think that they expect or Trump tells them rather, if this has my name on it, and it was Freedom 250, right? It wasn't America 250.
