Invariant, the highest-paid lobbying firm for both Elon Musk’s SpaceX and the Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir, has now bundled nearly $4 million to the DCCC since the beginning of the year.

And it’s not just House-side Democrats raising money from the firm. According to a post on LinkedIn, Invariant hosted a fundraiser for the Senate Democratic leaders last month as well, where its cadre of lobbyists likely helped to bundle big bucks for leadership members like Chuck Schumer or potentially the Kirsten Gillibrand-led Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).
