A Popular Information investigation revealed that Lead Left, a new political action committee that spent millions boosting Democratic primary candidates with big political liabilities, is linked to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC of the House Republicans.
In a follow-up investigation, Popular Information linked two other purportedly progressive super PACs spending millions in primary races to House Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Rents across the United States have skyrocketed in recent years. One contributing factor is the concentration in ownership. According to a new report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, private equity firms now own “at least 11,800 apartment buildings with almost 3 million units,” or around 13% of apartments in the U.S. This can lead to higher rent costs, aggressive evictions, and lower quality of life for renters.
