A bombshell report from the America First Policy Institute has exposed a staggering $100 million in foreign dark money laundered through the Sixteen Thirty Fund to bankroll radical ballot initiatives across 25 states.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund, a notorious hub for progressive causes, has been caught funneling foreign cash into state ballot measures targeting divisive issues like abortion, election law, and drug policy.
According to the America First Policy Institute:
Non-citizens can influence U.S. elections and domestic policy through donations to ballot initiatives. Instead of the ballot initiative process being decided by state residents who are affected by the result, foreign billionaires, often driven by an ideological agenda, impose their will on U.S. citizens by funneling large amounts of money into the ballot initiative process and swaying the results.
FACTS AND NUMBERS
In 2021, the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) ruled that foreign nationals can donate money to U.S. ballot initiatives, opening the door to foreign involvement in U.S. policy creation.
To varying degrees, California, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Washington have all prohibited foreign money in ballot initiatives, but sometimes with the caveat that only foreign-owned or partially owned corporations are prohibited, not foreign individuals.
A 2022 survey from the University of Maryland found that a “strong bipartisan majority of eight-in-ten voters favor Congress banning foreign individuals and entities from spending money to influence ballot initiatives”. A 2024 report by Americans for Public Trust showed that almost $100 million was spent by one organization alone, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, spanning ballot initiatives in 25 states.

“In 2021, the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) ruled that foreign nationals can donate money to U.S. ballot initiatives, opening the door to foreign involvement in U.S. policy creation.”
Trump can get the FEC to rule the opposite way. Not that they should be making law at all.
Any foreign person or organization trying to affect the vote in the United States should be labeled as a terrorist
Also, next time the rats claim we are after peoples social security we need to remind them that every illegal on SS takes away from those who should be getting the money. So the truth is the rats don't care if you get your SS or not.
These are the criminals who are sucking up our SS,medicare and medicaid courtesy of the demonrats.
Drug policy? To legal more drugs and get more young Americans sidelined and killed?
It’s like twisting the knife seeing this info on TAX DAY. We give them money; they mis-use it. Humans being what they are, this never will end.
“Bombshell!”
Quick! Call Hannity!
Thanks for the ping.
