AOC Ex-Aide's Anti-Filibuster PAC Paid Him $140K, Spent Little on Stated Goal
- Former AOC aide Corbin Trent formed a PAC called No Excuses in 2021, stating its goal was to eliminate the Senate filibuster by targeting Manchin and Sinema
- Trent paid himself nearly $140,000 for reported consulting work between 2021-2023, while the PAC spent only $14,831 on its stated goal of ads targeting the senators
- Trent made consistent payments to himself even when he did not appear on TV, which he claimed the money was for
- No Excuses has pivoted from targeting the filibuster to persuading Biden not to run for a second term
- The PAC reported just over $1,500 cash on hand recently and would not disclose how much it has raised to date
