How Big Spending Is Breaking Democracy w/ Tiffany Muller from End Citizens United

The 2026 midterm election is shaping up to be the most expensive in American history, with the combined races for Senate already reaching the $5 billion. Ad spending is expected to break $10 billion as billionaires, corporations, and dark money groups spend money to elect candidates to do their bidding, much of it without the public ever being able to know who is spending a single dime. Grant is joined by Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United. She explains how we got to this moment, going back to the Supreme Court decision in 2008, how we've seen how money in politics has changed, and how our politics has changed because of the money. They also talk about the steps we can all take to make the system more open and fair, which is good for everyone. LINKS:End Citizens UnitedPROMO CODES: Make It Make Sense with Grant HermesSponsored by: Facial in a Bottle by Love IndusThis episode is brought to you by Facial in a Bottle by Love Indus.You’re stressed.
