As I have been saying, we don't control Congress, so the most effective method is to investigate bribery, perjury, conflicts of interest and alleged financial disclosure is to subpoena witnesses like Leonard Leo and Harland Crow to the grand jury.

I have no access to the discovery in California's suit against Shell, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, British Petroleum, and Chevron to make them pay their “fair share” for the climate change they allegedly cause and for “delay[ing] our transition away from fossil fuels.” I'd expect that expenses for "lobbying" should be public record. I'd expect that discovery could lead to folks like the Koch Bros who have been funding litigation like Loper Bright.
