Those “pop up groups” are housed in four Arabella-controlled “sister” nonprofits, according to the report: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund and Windward Fund. “The size and scope of the Arabella network of funds demonstrates far more ‘dark money’ exists on the left side of the political spectrum than has been previously admitted,” the report says. He also founded the New Venture Fund and is on the board of the Sixteen Thirty Fund. The report gave the example of activists, led by Demand Justice, waving glossy “Stop Kavanaugh” signs in protest of the conservative nominee's confirmation. Politico identified 12 groups set up through the Sixteen Thirty Fund on health care alone. By serving as those groups’ “fiscal sponsor,” Sixteen Thirty Fund manages the money and aggregates their financial activities in its tax filings -- making it hard to work out how much money was spent by the different groups and where. The Capital Research Center report says that Arabella’s nonprofit network allows it to mask the “pop up” groups’ nature, making them seem like the work of “grassroots” activists rather than what it calls “front groups for multi-million-dollar non-profits.” Conservatives, however, are still spending more "dark money" than liberals in some areas. Vice, citing a study by the Brennan Center for Justice, reported last year that groups supporting Kavanaugh's confirmation spent at least $7.3 million on TV ads, while those opposing him spent at least $2.9 million. A January report from Issue One, a bipartisan advocacy group, shows that liberal groups spent over half of the $150 million of dark money in the latest election. The Capital Research Center report warns: “Before left-of-center activists and politicians demand laws to increase transparency in the funding of campaigns and public policy advocacy, they may first wish to consider voluntarily disclosing their own funding sources.” Fox News' Lukas Mikelionis contributed to this report.

Migration is one of the defining political issues of our time, and all around the globe national politicians are seemingly unable to meet the challenge. Today there are more than 1 billion migrants in the world. But I fear that if we only contest notions of collective identity at the national level that we will be waiting a long time for any meaningful success. Such a politics could also deliver lessons that can be applied across the country, creating a platform of strong local and regional identities on which to build a meaningful national narrative. If we want to support the development of strong and inclusive local identities, we need to empower local leaders by giving them the tools they need. Last October, Bristol was proud to host the third annual summit of the global parliament of mayors. One of the key items on the agenda was migration and how cities can take the lead in implementing the UN global compacts on migration and refugees. Those on the left need to find ways to support and enhance the role of cities at the international level if we want to see progress globally on the treatment of migrants and refugees. The global compacts give us a great opportunity to do just that. Marvin Rees is the Labour mayor of Bristol.

It is not a good time to be a Hollywood liberal or an elected Democrat. Movie mogul and Democrat mega-donor Harvey Weinstein was exposed by none other than the bible of the political left as a misogynistic pervert, and his tentacles run deeply into both worlds. The New York Times, of all places, published a blockbuster story of how Weinstein had been a serial sexual harasser of women in Hollywood for decades. There are fewer in the world of the Hollywood elite more intertwined with the Democratic Party that Harvey Weinstein. When the story broke there was a wave of “I can’t believe it took this long”-ism, which makes you wonder why none of those people now claiming it was about time had remained complicit for so long. If they knew, they also knew journalists who could’ve reported on it. Could his own bottom line be the reason Michael Moore, the progressive hero and feminist champion, hasn’t weighed in on the biggest sexual harassment scandal in Hollywood in a generation? The same goes for the Democrats who gleefully cashed his checks and now are scrambling to rid themselves of his money. They can’t feel too dirty about that money – they didn’t give it to hurricane relief or victims of the Las Vegas massacre; they gave it to Emily’s list, a progressive activist group that works to elect Democratic women to office.
