While it is unusual for groups to spend substantial sums on lobbying, it's not unusual for corporate groups to spend considerable sums on other kinds of campaign work. For instance, the Koch brothers, who have spent more than $12 million on lobbying in 2014, are on the receiving end of a $60 million campaign ad that included an ad in the New York Times last year.

The Kochs' ad campaign was a key piece of evidence during the election cycle that the campaign finance system has become opaque and the American taxpayer is being squeezed by a tax code that rewards corporations, not consumers, for the actions of their top donors.A woman from the United States is facing a felony charge for allegedly taking photos of her boyfriend. Prosecutors say she took the photos to show off his "wink-wink" on social media.

According to the New York Times, in the photo, his partner is a professional photographer.

"It is a beautiful picture of a young beautiful woman enjoying a quiet moment with her friends. She does not need my help but she is getting her act together," the man said in the photo. "This is what it's hard for women to see when they see a man in this situation."

The woman has a 10-year-old son and daughter, and was taking pictures of them on Facebook.
