First lady Jill Biden spoke at a private Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser on Saturday… Snip “He’s just had so many things thrown his way,” Jill Biden said while in Nantucket, Mass., the network reported. “Who would have ever thought about what happened [with the Supreme Court overturning] Roe v. Wade? Well, maybe we saw it coming, but still, we didn’t believe it. The gun violence in this country is absolutely appalling. We didn’t see the war in Ukraine coming.” “[The President] had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around,...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got a boost in fundraising, succeeding former President Donald Trump‘s numbers amid speculation about who will run in 2024. Mr. DeSantis raised $45 million in the first six months of this year, compared to Mr. Trump who raised $36 million in a 29% drop the previous half-year. Mr. Trump‘s numbers indicate the first time in the 18 months since he left the White House that his fundraising levels fell below $50 million. Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich defended the former president’s fundraising numbers, adding that he is making other investments in growing the ‘America First’ movement in...

The Democratic National Committee is fundraising off of the Jan. 6 committee hearing and attacking Republicans, according to a photo of an apparent DNC fundraising email posted on Twitter by the Republican National Committee. Under the heading Biden Harris Democrats, the DNC stated, "Tonight, TV cameras will turn to Capitol Hill as the January 6 Select Committee begins its public hearings into how Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican allies organized a mob and incited a deadly insurrection to attempt to overturn a fair, free, and secure election." Republicans have repeatedly denied these claims and are calling the committee "illegitimate"...

President Biden and Vice President Harris are ramping up their in-person fundraising at a critical point less than seven months out from the midterm elections. The activity comes as Democrats fear losing the House and Senate majorities, and as donors clamor for more in-person events more than two years into the pandemic.

Former President Donald Trump’s fundraising committee that targets small-dollar donors raised $19 million in the first quarter, according to its latest filing, while the Republican Party’s biggest donors are pouring millions into groups tied to the House and Senate leaderships. The Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, which raises money for Trump’s political operations, took in $9 million from donors who gave less than $200. Donors who gave amounts of $500 or more accounted for $1.8 million of the total, according to the filing with the Federal Election Commission. Continued financial support by his base has allowed Save America, Trump’s leadership...

Yesterday, a group of Ottawa residents won a private class action lawsuit to freeze at least 146 cryptocurrency wallets and bank assets tied to the main organizers of Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” in a bid to stanch funding for the ongoing demonstrations. Known as a Mareva injunction, the lawsuit was filed by Ottawa residents Zexi Li, Geoffrey Devaney, and the Happy Goat Coffee business against key convoy organizers including Chris Barber, Benjamin Dichter, Tamara Lich, and Nicholas St. Louis. The hearing was held in private without public notice or access, lawyer Paul Champ who represents the residents bringing the suit, told...

A total of 34 cryptocurrency wallets allegedly associated with the Canadian truckers protesting COVID-19 restrictions, which had been raising money with Bitcoin for the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign have reportedly been blocked. In particular, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Canada’s national police force has issued an order requiring all FINTRAC-regulated organizations in Canada to stop interacting with 34 crypto wallets, according to The Counter Signal. It is still unknown whether or not this request from the police will result in a breakdown in the disbursement of the funds. The order comes after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the...

After raising over $9 million for the Freedom Convoy movement and having their funds blocked and even seized by private banks, Christian crowdsourcing platform GiveSendGo has been hacked and taken offline. The news was initially reported by Human Events editor Jack Posobiec. BREAKING: @GiveSendGo has been hacked and taken offline — Honkmaster Poso 🎺 (@JackPosobiec) February 14, 2022 The hackers reportedly leaked personal information of those who donated to the Freedom Convoy. An S3 bucket run by GiveSendGo was found to be leaking pics of drivers licenses, military IDs, passports, & other sensitive docs just days ago. Source tells me...

The https://givesendgo.com/ main page is currently compromised and redirecting traffic to a video at https://givesendgone.wtf/ The page is allowing the download of a .csv file that has the names and donation amounts made to the Canadian Freedom Convoy. (I have a copy of it) If you download the file open it as a text file or in Wordpad - I recommend against opening it in Excel in case there are malicious macros embedded in it. The video at "givesendgone" has a sample from the Frozen movie overlaid with a screed against the truckers which I will partly transcribe and post...

GoFundMe says it won’t be giving the C$10 million ($8 million USD) raised to support the truckers protesting COVID-19 mandates to the organizers anymore, saying it will instead work with the organizers to send the funds to “established charities verified by GoFundMe.” “To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground,” the fundraising platform said in a statement on Feb. 4. “Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in...

ransomnote: The Expose is over the target and taking flak, banned and censored - even Paypal turned against them in an effort to deprive them of funding. Please pray that the Expose receive the funds it needs to keep serving the public.Government data from Australia, the U.S., Canada, Scotland and England suggest people who have received at least two shots are now showing signs of serious immune system degradation.This immune erosion, aka, acquired immune deficiency, is thought to account for elevated rates of myocarditis and other post-jab conditions, some of which can result in death if progressing rapidly, or chronic...

Mayor Bill de Blasio has insisted for years that he followed legal guidance in response to questions about whether he improperly solicited donations for nonprofits he set up to promote his agenda. New information released on Wednesday reveals that’s not the full story. The city’s ethics board repeatedly told the mayor and his attorneys that he was not allowed to raise money from anyone with matters “pending or about to be pending” before his administration, but he ignored the guidance he and his team sought in the first place, according to correspondence POLITICO obtained Wednesday via a Freedom of Information...

Federal prosecutors have issued a subpoena demanding, as part of a criminal investigation, the financial records of several fundraising organizations founded by former federal prosecutor and Trump attorney Sidney Powell in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. The grand jury subpoena was issued by the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia in September and demanded communications and other documents regarding the fundraising of several groups, including Defending the Republic, according to The Washington Post.

Kenneth Pennington, a top digital strategist for Beto O’Rourke, had a simple plan. Mr. O’Rourke would announce his bid for governor of Texas early on a recent Monday morning and then Mr. Pennington would break the news via email to Mr. O’Rourke’s lucrative list of supporters, a loyal following that had already raised tens of millions of dollars for Mr. O’Rourke in his past bids for the Senate and the White House. But Mr. Pennington soon noticed something troubling: a parallel wave of look-alike emails from groups completely unaffiliated with the O’Rourke campaign that were designed to capitalize on the...

GoFundMe will allow fundraisers for Kyle Rittenhouse now that he’s been acquitted, the company said Friday. The fundraising platform said it banned Rittenhouse fundraisers before because its terms of service “prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime.” That was the same thing a GoFundMe spokesperson told The Epoch Times last year. In addition to removing fundraisers that were launched for the teenager’s legal defense, the company removed “hundreds of others” last year that were unrelated to him, it said in a blog post that sought to respond to heightened criticism in the wake of the...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced Tuesday his new record-breaking fundraising total of nearly $60 million banked for the House Republicans in the first three-quarters of the 2022 election cycle. McCarthy revealed he brought in a record-breaking $57.8 million so far his cycle, in the first nine months of 2021, as the Republicans are trying to continue their momentum to unseat Democrats and take back the House in the midterms.

Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell (Mich.) on Friday launched a message to supporters fundraising off of her heated exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on the steps of the Capitol after the Georgia congresswoman started heckling House Democrats over their vote on an abortion access bill. In the email, Dingell’s reelection campaign team said Greene “attacked Democrats on the steps of the Capitol, heckling and yelling (maskless) after passing the Women’s Health Protection Act.” “Debbie Dingell stood up against MTG, proving that she is the tough leader we need in Congress who is willing to fight for progress and for...

Moments ago Mary from the National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) just called and asked for a donation to help Senate Republicans help fight the Democrats and regain the majority. I could not believe my ears. I literally just finished posting here on FreeRepublic about the Republican Senators who handed Biden a bipartisan victory and thrust the final bankruptcy dagger into America with the infrastructure bill. I politely, but firmly, told Mary I was Trump supporter and it was an insult to receive this call immediately after Senate Republicans just finished collaborating with Democrats on passing the infrastructure bill. It was...

Republicans who voted earlier this year to impeach former President Trump are outpacing their primary challengers in the money race. Now the 10 House Republicans who broke party lines in the chamber’s January impeachment vote are heading into the second half of 2021 flush with cash, financial reports filed on Thursday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show. Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), who was ousted from her post as the No. 3 House Republican in May, raked in the most cash of the group in the second quarter of the year, raising nearly $1.9 million and closing out June with...
