Democratic group illegally hid its donors, watchdog alleges in FEC complaint
The Washington Post's live blog leads with a Campaign Legal Center complaint alleging United Futures Inc. — a dark-money nonprofit that spent nearly $20 million boosting Democrats in Mississippi, Kansas and Alaska — is an illegal shell concealing its donors, and a Post analysis naming it a top 2026 megadonor. It also covers the CIA's reported covert actions in Latin America, record El Niño ocean temperatures, Scott Colom's Mississippi Senate win, the uncalled North Carolina state Senate race, United Airlines barring AI booking agents, and the House Freedom Caucus's post-election grievances.
