ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos
NY Times ^ | March 6, 2025

ActBlue, the online fund-raising organization that powers Democratic candidates, has plunged into turmoil, with at least seven senior officials resigning late last month and a remaining lawyer suggesting he faced internal retaliation.

The departures from ActBlue, which helps raise money for Democrats running for office at all levels of government, come as the group is under investigation by congressional Republicans. They have advanced legislation that some Democrats warn could be used to debilitate what is the party’s leading fund-raising operation.

The exodus has set off deep concerns about ActBlue’s future. Last week, two unions representing the group’s workers sent a blistering letter to ActBlue’s board of directors that listed the seven officials who had left. The letter described an “alarming pattern” of departures that was “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.”

What prompted so many longtime ActBlue officials to leave is not clear — none of the former officials agreed to be interviewed on the record…

In recent weeks, congressional Republicans have demanded answers from ActBlue about its security and fraud-prevention measures, as well as how the group prevents certain foreign donors from illegally contributing to candidates. The letter from the ActBlue unions warned that the group was “under increasing scrutiny” and “the target of bad-faith political attacks at the hands of ill-intentioned operators.”

On Feb. 6, ActBlue responded to Republican congressional inquiries with a three-page letter, sent from the law firm Covington & Burling, to “provide an update regarding ActBlue’s security, fraud prevention measures and related procedures.”

Some Democrats fear that Republicans, who now control Congress and the White House, will seek to shut down ActBlue. These Democrats worry that the scrutiny of the fund-raising platform is just an opening salvo in a larger campaign to dismantle and destabilize the broader Democratic infrastructure.

Slimes:

” opening salvo in a larger campaign to dismantle and destabilize the broader Democratic infrastructure.”

See my tagline.

The infrastructure is a criminal enterprise.

“Last week, two unions representing the group’s workers”

Is ActBlue such an abusive, hostile, and terrible employer that its employees found the need to unionize?

How ActBlue puts your tax dollars land in politicians’ campaign pockets.

Reference: FEC data gathered by truthteller @OKeefeMedia linked one Democrat donor’s name to a conspicuous “830 donations” to “ActBlue.” The Democrat monitors her bank statements, so she knew what she had actually donated, and was outraged, seeing her name falsified by ActBlue on federal documents.

How ActBlue pulls off massive fraudulent Democrat donations:
<><>they collude w/ politicians to setup money laundries
<><>Biden Lends Billions in “Climate Funds” Before Election
<><>Biden DHS gives Millions of tax dollars to “Sanctuary Cities,”
<><>Haiti gets billions in USAID
<><>Biden hands billions of tax dollars to Zelensky
<><>Biden-Harris give well over $1 billion in federal benefits to Haitian migrants
<><>then a percentage of the “do-good” federal money is deposited offshore
<><>crooked legerdemain manipulates the federal money into the ActBlue data base,
<><>they then falsify federal documents,
<><>Actblue lists the money as having been “donated” by eligible donors,
<><>ActBlue does this without the knowledge or consent of the listed donors.

America wasn’t very fond of the “act blue” freak show we were treated with the other night. Bringing their “spanking” paddles used for Drag Queen Childrens’ Hours were a bit much as were the Resistor Sister black T-shirts.

Scrutiny and full transparency go hand in hand and should be welcomed by any organization complying with the law and behaving ethically.

That’s because they raised $1.5 billion dollars for Harris and basically threw it all in the furnace. Not even spend-happy Dems are willing to do that again.

ActBlue is the pack of thugs that laundered BLM thefts/graft into DNC campaign coffers.
