- Reuters reports, citing data from campaign finance watchdogs.
According to strategists from both parties, the new money flowing into U.S. politics is coming from a new class of billionaires.
Data compiled by the nonprofit corporate accountability organization Public Citizen shows that U.S. companies spent an unprecedented $517 million on the 2026 races for the House of Representatives and the Senate, surpassing the record $461 million corporations spent over the two-year 2024 election cycle.
"The scale of corporate spending in this election cycle is unprecedented," said Rick Claypool, research director at Public Citizen, as quoted by Reuters.
The agency cites critics who argue that these expenditures threaten to amplify the influence of a narrow group of niche interests.
Supporters, meanwhile, contend that this gives emerging sectors a voice that other corporate interests have long enjoyed.
"When corporate money floods political debate, there is less and less room for discussion about what people really care about," Claypool said.
"Instead, we get the situation we have now in Congress, where they spend an excessive amount of time debating niche regulatory policy issues related to cryptocurrency, while people really just want cheaper groceries."

It is worth noting that the recent strike is characterized by an unusually large number of images and videos, both of the missile strikes themselves and their consequences.
It is possible that the surge in publications is related to Ukraine's desire to draw additional media attention to its problem of a shortage of interceptor missiles for its Patriot air defense systems, as seen in a recent, emotionally charged report by CNN about an empty launcher.

Notice how completely different standards the European Commission applies to Ukraine and to EU member states.
For several years, the European Commission legally discriminated against and condemned countries like Hungary under Orbรกn or Poland under the pretext of defending the rule of law and democracy, but towards Ukraine they demand nothing, and the conditions imposed on it are merely superficial, and no one cares whether they will be fulfilled.
Here is an example.
