Americans don’t just vote. We also get outspent.

When people talk about “influence,” they often imagine a suitcase of cash sliding across a table. In reality, it’s spreadsheets, legal categories, committee IDs, and a system that’s perfectly optimized for plausible deniability.

This post is narrow on purpose: donations and disclosed spending only, with a focus on large-dollar activity (≥$25,000) where the data is cleanest—especially independent expenditures (outside spending for/against candidates).

A note on what counts (and what doesn’t)

• Candidate donations are capped by law, so you won’t usually see “$25,000+ to Candidate X” from a normal PAC.
• Super PACs / IE-only committees can spend unlimited sums independently to support or oppose candidates (TV ads, mailers, digital, etc.). 
• Foreign nationals are prohibited from spending in connection with U.S. federal elections, including independent expenditures. 

Super PAC-style money: where ≥$25k is common

Example: UNITED DEMOCRACY PROJECT (“UDP”) — FEC Committee ID: C00799031

UDP is registered as a Super PAC (Independent Expenditure-Only) committee on the FEC site. 

What the FEC shows for 2025 activity (coverage in the FEC summary)

• Total receipts: $78,028,293.63 (Jan 1, 2025 → Jan 31, 2026 reporting window in the FEC summary view) 
• Independent expenditures: $2,183,065.12 (coverage dates shown as 01/01/2025 → 12/31/2025) 

Important: the FEC page explicitly notes that the IE tab in this view does not include 24- and 48-hour IE reports. 

Recipients (candidates/races) for ≥$25k IEs

On the FEC committee profile, go to:

Spending → Independent expenditures → “Filter this data”

…and set minimum amount = 25000, with date range through 12/31/2025. 

That filtered table is the authoritative list of which candidates were supported/opposed at ≥$25k per transaction.

(I’m not pasting a race-by-race table here because the FEC’s transaction tables are dynamic and the web view available to me in this workspace doesn’t reliably render the full row set—but the committee totals above are directly from the FEC’s published summary.) 

Example: AMERICAN PRO-ISRAEL PAC — FEC Committee ID: C00687657

This committee is listed by the FEC as a Super PAC (Independent Expenditure-Only). 

To capture 2015–2025 activity, use the same method:

Spending → Independent expenditures → Filter → min amount 25000, then cycle through relevant two-year periods. 

Traditional / hybrid PACs: influence via many smaller checks + committee transfers

Example: DMFI PAC — FEC Committee ID: C00710848 (Hybrid PAC)

DMFI is listed by the FEC as a Hybrid PAC (with Non-Contribution Account). 

What the FEC shows for 2025 activity

• Total receipts: $2,187,453.71 (Jan 1, 2025 → Jan 31, 2026 in the FEC summary view) 

Because candidate contribution limits exist, a hybrid/traditional PAC’s impact often appears as:

• many capped donations to candidates, and/or
• transfers and spending through other pathways.

To see candidate recipients:

Raising → Total receipts / Itemized transactions and Spending → Disbursement transactions, then filter and export. 

Example: Republican Jewish Coalition PAC (RJC-PAC) — FEC Committee ID: C00345132

RJC-PAC is listed by the FEC as a Membership Organization PAC (qualified), not a super PAC. 

What the FEC shows for 2025 activity

• Total receipts: $1,058,058.51 (01/01/2025 → 12/31/2025 in the FEC summary view) 

To identify recipients:

Use Disbursements and Itemized transactions, or export recipient tables from the committee profile. 

Why this matters: the scale is not subtle

How to get clean, numbers for each person (2015–2025)

Use the FEC’s Independent expenditures search and apply:

• Candidate name (or candidate ID)
• Date range: 01/01/2015 → 12/31/2025
• Minimum amount: 25000
• Export results

This produces a source-backed list of:

• spender committee
• amount
• support/oppose
• candidate mentioned
• date

Closing

Our electoral system has morphed into “legalized corruption,” its framework corroded and perverted by expensive attorneys, self-serving elected officials, foreign interest and force choice elections put forth by a compromised, secretive two-party political oligarchy.

If democracy means people choose policy, then we should be able to see, plainly, who is paying to shape those choices—without needing a PhD in committee taxonomy.

Choosing people to govern America should not be founded on outrage. It’s the receipts that determine whose interest each candidate will protect and promote.

• Follow the money.
• Stay aware from so called “influencers.” They are highly paid Toxicity. Young propagandist getting rich from “selling out America” to their followers.
• We as Americans are responsible for who is elected to office. Do your homework.
• Don’t believe US media. Often times they are more corrupt than the politicians themselves; and proIsraelis have control or operate the majority of news organizations and entertainment outlets in America anyway.
• Assume any political candidate is looking to enrich themselves⏤unless they prove otherwise.
• Eliminate anyone who has the backing of proIsraeli groups and organizations, big tech/pharma, formerly trusted corporations such as APPLE whose R&D is based in Israel along side other well known groups.
• Before voting for any candidate Trump, his administration, or family endorses, think about why they are promoting that candidate and whose interest they will serve once in office.
• Look at your checking and savings account. Healthcare costs, education, America’s infrastructure then look at the hundred of trillions of dollars the WH and congress have spent to fight Israeli wars, steal foreign resources and have killed, unarmed children and adults in wars-for-profit that only enrich the upperclass, US presidents and certain members of congress and the two-party oligarchy because we the people are certainly not benefiting from anything these self-serving political persons have put forward for at least two decades. All they give everyday Americans are “table scraps,” hand feeding dumb downed Americans they pushed under the table.
