LEVER WEEKLY: Big Tech’s Next Big War
This is Lever Weekly, a recap of our work from the past week. If you only read one email from us all week, this should be it. Paid subscriptions make our work possible. If you are able, we need you to become a paid supporter now, so we can continue holding the powerful accountable. Join The Fight Here’s what The Lever published this week: LEVER DEEP DIVE OF THE WEEK The War Profiteers of Palo Alto.

Anthony Kennedy Is Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This. The retired Supreme Court Justice who authored Citizens United is suddenly worried about the future of democracy. Israel’s Hidden Perks In Congress’ $914B Military Budget.

JD Vance’s Stealth Plot To Buy The Next Election. The vice president is behind a push to expand Citizens United and gut what remains of federal campaign finance rules. Big Chemical Is Coming For Your Kidneys. At the chemical industry’s urging, the Trump administration is reconsidering limits on a toxic substance linked to fatal organ damage.

Claim 86% Off + Money-Back Guarantee THIS WEEK’S LEVER DAILY HIGHLIGHTS Not yet reading Lever Daily? You’re missing out on news like this: 💋 Noem’s $51 million close-up. Taxpayers are the biggest political ad spenders so far in 2025, thanks to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security: Under Trump, DHS has spent $51 million in public funds on pro-deportation vanity agitprop. These ads, which star Secretary Kristi Noem, air online and on television — including $9 million worth of airtime on Fox News alone. The administration claims the highly-produced recordings are “public service announcements urging illegal aliens to leave,” and it has recently increased ad buys on Spanish-language TV shows, including the professional Mexican soccer league and Univision’s flagship morning talk show. 🛩️ Commuting in style. West Virginia’s coal baron governor-turned-senator is still adjusting to his new commute to Washington, D.C. — Sen. Jim Justice (R) has flown a private jet back and forth the few hundred miles between the Mountain State and the nation’s capital almost every business day since January. When Punchbowl News first reported on the 40-minute flights, Justice swore that he, not taxpayers, pays for the travel and that he would stop as “as soon as [he got] a place to live.” But last week, Justice flew back and forth from West Virginia to D.C. four times. “To be honest, it’s a pain in the butt getting on and off the plane every day,” Justice told Punchbowl. “Talk about wear and tear.” 😨 The outcome J&J feared. Johnson & Johnson was just ordered to pay $966 million to the family of an 88-year-old woman who died from lung cancer after exposure to the company’s talc-based baby powder, which allegedly contained asbestos fibers. It’s the kind of precedent-setting payout that Whittaker, Clark, & Daniels — a former talc supplier owned by corporate behemoth Berkshire Hathaway — is trying to avoid using a legal strategy known as “Texas Two-Step,” where firms offload liabilities into shell companies and then bury them in bankruptcy court.
