A socialist group gaining power in Washington is now under scrutiny over Cuba, China funding

Florida is investigating the Democratic Socialists of America over contributions from China and Cuba and whether the organization accepted “tens of thousands of dollars” to fund DSA delegations to meet with government officials in the two communist countries.

State Attorney General James Uthmeier said he issued a subpoena to the DSA under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and Florida laws governing the solicitation of funds.

“We are examining whether DSA accepted contributions or support from foreign sources of concern, including the regimes in Cuba and China, and whether its fundraising from Florida donors has been fully transparent and lawful,” Mr. Uthmeier said in a video posted Tuesday on social media.

A 2025 Florida law bans nonprofit organizations from soliciting donations from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria and the now-ousted Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro.

The Washington Times reached out to the DSA.

The organization is growing in prominence and influence within the U.S.

Six DSA-endorsed candidates won seats in the U.S. House, in addition to several other DSA-aligned candidates who won seats in Congress.

The DSA agenda calls for free government healthcare, implementing the Green New Deal, eliminating the Senate and presidency, and other radical changes to the government.

Delegations from the DSA made trips to Cuba and China last year.

The October 2025 trip to Cuba included 40 elected DSA leaders and members who the organization said met with Cuban workers, doctors, teachers and artists “who keep the country running despite the growing hardship imposed by the U.S. blockade.”

The group also met with Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Fernandez de Cossio.

Five DSA members traveled to China last year to celebrate the 80th anniversary of victory against Japan in World War II.

Imagine you’re China and you have the ability to change US elections. You only have this ability as long as its unrecognized.

If you have the assets in place when the best time to change election results? Wouldn’t it have been in 2024? If Democrats had won 2024 you would have had Kamala Harris.

Not too late for arrests, convictions, lining up perps against the wall. Trump has two years for retribution against communists.

Anyone connected with, or a member of, the DSA should NOT be granted a security clearance and not be given access to classified information in my opinion. And that includes anyone elected to the U.S. Senate.

I spent a number of years with the Defense Dept. investigating individuals who required a security clearance for their job whether it was a civilian working in the federal govt., military personnel or an employee of a defense contractor. And one of the things we looked at was anyone associated with, or a member of, a group considered hostile to the U.S. Such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
