Description: In 2010, the Supreme Court of the United unleashed chaos with their decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In that ruling, they declared that corporations are people and money is speech.

Featuring Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United, and Brian Derrick, co-founder and CEO of Oath, this episode explores how one court decision rewired American democracy—and what (if anything) can done to fix it.
