DNC chair takes steps to restrict corporate and dark money in 2028 primaries
Primary elections PACs Democratic Natl Committee Democratic Natl ConventionFacebookTweetLink Follow Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin will ask party members later this month to take the first step towards restricting corporate and so-called dark money spending in the 2028 presidential primaries, siding with progressives in an ongoing intraparty debate over campaign finance rules. Martin will introduce a resolution at the DNC's August meeting calling on a new reforms panel to explore ways the party can eliminate corporate and dark money donations from the upcoming presidential primary cycle, according to a draft obtained by CNN. Progressives, including Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, have called on the DNC to ban super PAC spending in Democratic presidential primaries for years. Those calls have grown in the wake of increased spending from cryptocurrency groups and pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC in Democratic primaries. The draft resolution does not explicitly mention super PACs, and it's not clear whether it will ultimately restrict super PAC spending in party primaries. The draft concedes the 'only way to solve for this problem in the long term is through Congressional action, including a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United,' the landmark 2010 Supreme Court case that helped usher in a new era of big money in American elections. Sanders – a former Democratic presidential candidate – and seven Senate Democrats wrote Martin and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in June asking the committee to launch a process to develop ways to enforce a ban on super PAC spending in primaries. Critics within the party have argued that limiting super PAC spending would put Democrats at a disadvantage with Republicans. They've also noted the challenge in enforcing such a ban. Democratic candidates cannot coordinate with super PACs, but big money groups have become key parts of presidential campaigns, to the benefit of both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in 2024. Former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison called the June letter from Sanders 'performative' and urged Democratic lawmakers to pass legislation in Congress. 'The DNC can pass a resolution… a strongly worded resolution and what will be the impact,' Harrison wrote on X at the time. 'Those same PACs will do whatever the hell they want to do. So what other 'action' can the DNC take that will produce the result suggested?!' Martin's resolution, if passed, would task the new panel to explore exactly what those other actions might be. It calls on the Committee on Reforms to 'identify and study … real, enforceable steps the DNC can take to eliminate unlimited corporate and dark money in its 2028 presidential primary process.' The reforms panel would also develop a list of legislative goals to present to Congress. The committee would present its proposals to the full DNC next summer. DNC members will vote on the resolution during their summer meeting in Minneapolis, which will take place from August 25-27.

FUJIFILM's Q1 Earnings Decline Y/Y, Imaging Solutions Boost Revenues
FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation FUJIY reported a first-quarter fiscal 2025 (ended June 30, 2025) net income of ¥53.8 billion compared with ¥60.7 billion in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily as a result of foreign exchange losses. Revenues of ¥749.5 billion inched up 0.1% year over year. The stable performance was primarily driven by strong performances in Bio CDMO, Semiconductor Materials and Imaging segments, offsetting the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Segment Details of FUJIY In June 2024, the company established the Advanced Functional Materials division by integrating its display materials, industrial products and fine chemicals businesses. In the fiscal first quarter, Healthcare segment revenues were ¥228.5 billion, down 2.9% from the year-ago quarter. Within Healthcare, Medical Systems revenues were down 8.7% year over year to ¥144 billion. Revenues decreased primarily due to lower demand for medical consumables in China and the absence of large-scale orders for X-ray imaging diagnostic equipment, which had contributed significantly in the previous year. However, this decline was partially offset by strong sales of medical IT solutions such as PACS, along with solid performance in in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) and endoscopes. Bio CDMO revenues were up 12.8% to ¥53.2 billion. Revenues grew primarily due to the commencement of operations at the new Danish facilities and the resumption of operations at the Texas facilities. This growth was partially offset by the impact of regularly scheduled maintenance at the existing Danish sciences revenues grew 3.2% to ¥31.3 billion, driven by a recovery in the culture media market and robust sales of reagents. Fujifilm Holdings Corp. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Fujifilm Holdings Corp. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Fujifilm Holdings Corp. Quote In the Electronics segment, revenues amounted to ¥102.1 billion, down 0.9% year over year. Semiconductor Materials revenues rose 3.8% to ¥64.7 billion. Revenues grew on the back of strong sales in advanced applications, particularly in CMP slurry. AF materials revenues amounted to ¥37.5 billion, down 8.2% year over year. This was due to a decline in data tape sales following significant purchases by IT companies in the previous year, while strong sales of new materials boosted the performance of display materials. The Business Innovation Solutions segment's revenues were ¥273.6 billion, decreasing 2.3% from the year-ago quarter's figure. Business solutions moved up 7% on a year-over-year basis to ¥75.8 billion. Revenues were supported by strong sales of digital transformation (DX) solutions and services to municipalities in Japan, along with increased business process outsourcing (BPO) revenue from markets outside Japan. Office solutions and Graphic Communications revenues decreased 5.3% and 5.6% on a year-over-year basis to ¥120 billion and ¥77.8 billion, respectively. In the Office Solutions segment, revenues were adversely impacted by a strategic reduction in the range of low-profit products sold in China. Within Graphic Communications, analog printing faced weaker demand for plate-making and the discontinuation of low-margin products, while inkjet printhead sales declined due to reduced demand from the ceramics market. The Imaging Solutions segment's revenues were ¥145.3 billion, up 11.2% from the year-ago quarter's level. Consumer Imaging and Professional Imaging revenues rose 3.7% and 21.2% on a year-over-year basis to ¥77.3 billion and ¥68 billion, respectively. In the Consumer Imaging segment, strong sales of Instax instant photo systems drove growth, supported by the popularity of models such as the Instax WIDE 400 and Instax WIDE Evo, along with contributions from the newly launched Instax mini 41. In the Professional Imaging segment, robust sales of FUJIFILM X and GFX series digital cameras contributed to strong performance, with particularly high demand for the FUJIFILM X100VI and X-M5 models, as well as positive contributions from the newly introduced FUJIFILM GFX100RF and X half. FUJIY's Operating Details In the fiscal first quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 4.6% to ¥196.6 billion. Research and development expenses increased 0.9% to ¥40.6 billion. Operating income increased 21.1% year over year to ¥75.3 billion, primarily due to higher sales in the Imaging segment, while the effect of U.S. tariff policies remained minimal. FUJIY's Balance Sheet & Cash Flow As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were ¥160 billion, down from ¥172.1 billion as of March 31, 2025. Total debt was ¥749.8 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared with ¥685.9 billion on as of March 31, 2025. For full-year 2025, FUJIFILM is planning an annual dividend of ¥70 per share, marking the 16th consecutive year of dividend increases.
