Who Funds That? EP6: Can Treasury Fix Nonprofit Tax Returns

Today we’ve got a very important and exciting topic to cover: The nonprofit tax return (Form 990)! Now please don’t turn your podcast dial—this actually matters way more than you think, even if you aren’t a nonprofit accountant, because 990 disclosures are so very important to discovering “Who Funds That” in nonprofit advocacy. The Trump administration has proposed major changes to the “990” that “are intended to detect misconduct and hold wrongdoers accountable.” We’ve invited our colleague Robert Stilson, who has written extensively on fixing the nonprofit tax return, to offer his ideas on what the Trump administration should do.  Treasury Announces Form 990 Transparency Initiative to Expose Hidden Funding and Strengthen Oversight [https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0470] Some Suggestions for Improving the Form 990 [https://capitalresearch.org/article/some-suggestions-for-improving-the-form-990/] Thinking About Fiscal Sponsorship: The Form 990 Black Hole [https://capitalresearch.org/article/thinking-about-fiscal-sponsorship-part-3/] Thinking About Fiscal Sponsorship: Potential Reforms [https://capitalresearch.org/article/thinking-about-fiscal-sponsorship-part-4/] Tides Center [https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/tides-center/]

"Who Funds That?" EP5: Ohio’s Medicaid Millions

Seven buildings with 288 companies. Empty offices with unopened government notices in the mail slots. Convicted fraudsters vaguely warning that they know who journalists’ families are. It’s all real, and it’s all been uncovered in Columbus, Ohio, where millions of taxpayer dollars are disappearing into questionable home healthcare businesses and the state government and the businesses have few answers to many, many questions. Joining us to discuss their Ohio Medicaid investigation are Luke Rosiak, an investigative reporter for the Daily Wire, and Capital Research Center’s investigative researcher Parker Thayer.

Who funds That? EP4 Democrat Union Bosses, Republican Workers

As working-class Americans demonstrate increasing willingness to support conservative political candidates, some ostensible conservatives—some perhaps in service to their think tank’s funders in left-wing Big Philanthropy and others perhaps in the delusion that Big Labor will lead them to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—have argued that the path to working-class support is through union bosses’ marble and stone palaces in Washington, D.C. and other big blue cities. Today’s guest brings warnings that that way lies madness—or at least self-inflicted defeat, because those palaces still serve the Left as they have for (at least) almost a century. Today Tom Jones of the American Accountability Foundation brings the receipts, with documentation on how private-sector unions that have Republican members have been using their (often forced) dues to fund the Institutional Left.see less Scathing report claims nation's oldest labor union 'betrayed' MAGA members through 'shocking' spending [https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scathing-report-accuses-top-labor-union-of-betraying-trump-supporter-members-with-shocking-spending-on-dems] DUKE: A Shaky Ceasefire And A Union Betrayal [https://dailycaller.com/2026/04/09/amber-duke-unfit-to-print-iran-war-unions-catholic-nuns-fraud/] Making the AFL-CIO great again: labor policy in 2026 [https://capitalresearch.org/article/making-the-afl-cio-great-again-labor-policy-in-2026/] Some local Teamsters groups announce Harris endorsements after national union declines to do so [https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/local-teamsters-groups-announce-harris-endorsements-national-union-dec-rcna171984] Does Big Labor truly represent the American worker?

Who Funds That? EP 3: Justice Samuel Alito (with Mollie Hemingway)

When conservatives wax poetic about their favorite Supreme Court justices from what one might call the “Federalist Society [https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/federalist-society-for-law-and-public-policy-studies/] era” of Republican appointments, Clarence Thomas and the late Antonin Scalia take precedence. The oldest may prefer the late William Rehnquist, for a time the lone “originalist” on the court; the youngest may prefer Neil Gorsuch, the libertarian radical appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017. But today’s guest argues for Samuel Alito, appointed as George W. Bush’s second choice for the vacancy created by the retirement of Sandra Day O’Connor in 2005, as perhaps the most consequential of them all. Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist, joins us to discuss her latest book: Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution.

Who Funds That? EP2 with Corey DeAngelis: Maryland Lawmakers and the Teachers Unions vs. Parents

Maryland, for my sins my home state, is almost completely controlled by the teachers unions—this was proven during COVID-19, when the state had among the longest school closures in the nation. But the end of the pandemic did nothing to curb Maryland teachers unions’ ambitions, which are now focused against private education, which the unions and their allies in state government hope to ideologically compel to follow the party line. Today’s guest, Corey DeAngelis of the Heritage Foundation among other places, focuses on an effort by the union-backed state legislature to require private schools in the state to acquiesce to gender transitions—even schools that have sincere religious objections to gender transitions likely protected by the First Amendment. He joins us today to discuss what this effort by blue-state teachers-union-controlled legislatures can tell us about parental rights campaigns across the country.
