In a major ruling on campaign finance, the Supreme Court has struck down a federal law that limited the amount of money that political parties can spend in coordination with a candidate for office. In their 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservatives wrote that coordinated expenditure limits violate the First Amendment. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Elena Kagan wrote, “The Court ushers back in the same opportunities for quid pro quo corruption that the contribution limits were meant to check.”

This comes as a new report by Public Citizen finds cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, Big Tech and online betting corporations have collectively spent $294 million to influence federal elections in this election cycle. That’s more than half of the record $517 million that corporations have reported spending so far.
