The mass protests that have swept the nation in recent days to express outrage at the death of George Floyd have been paired with a flood of financial donations, as hundreds of thousands of Americans have opened their wallets to give to charitable groups, community bail funds, and Democratic candidates. With money flowing to candidates, bail funds, and charities, the Democrats’ online donor platform processed over $60 million between Friday and Monday, a sign of strength for the party. ActBlue, the central online hub that processes money for Democratic candidates and causes, Sunday was the single largest day of giving...

BlackLivesMatter.com appears to be an international money laundering scheme used by the Democrats to raise money from an international audience. Black Lives Matter describes itself on its “BlackLivesMatter.com” website as a global organization: The Wikipedia website describes Black Lives Matter as: Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international human rights movement, originating from within the African-American community, which campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. BLM regularly holds protests speaking out against police brutality and police killings of black people, and broader issues such as racial profiling, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system.[1] So...

A slew of Hollywood celebrities is pushing an effort to turn Texas blue in the hopes that it will cause President Donald Trump to lose the electoral college in November. The celebrity social-media effort organized by ActBlue is aggressively promoting the slogan: “Win Texas. Lose Trump.” Left-wing stars including Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, Debra Messing, and Star Wars actor Mark Hamill are urging their Twitter followers to donate $38 to Texas’ Democratic party in recognition of the state’s 38 electoral votes. ActBlue, the left-wing donor site that is behind the drive, is hoping to defeat President Trump in Texas by...

A Republican pastor from Arkansas, ignoring Democrats’ growing extremism on abortion, urged evangelical Christians to vote for a Democrat instead of President Donald Trump this week. “Because a deal with Democrats is better than a deal with the devil,” wrote Robb Ryerse, an evangelical Christian pastor at Vintage Fellowship in Fayetteville, Arkansas. His piece in Time magazine this week compared Trump to the devil, and argued that pro-life Christians would better serve the “common good” by voting for a pro-abortion Democrat. “Voters of faith should set aside their personal interests and predilections and instead prioritize the common good for all,”...

One of the attorneys representing the anonymous “whistleblowers” accusing President Donald Trump of conspiring with foreign leaders to interfere in the next U.S. presidential election used to report directly to former director of national intelligence James Clapper. Charles McCullough, an attorney now representing the whistleblowers with Andrew Bakaj, a former staffer for Sens. Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, was previously the inspector general of the intelligence community (ICIG) at the height of the Clinton email scandal. Now a partner at the Compass Rose Legal Group, McCullough’s professional biography on the law firm’s website notes that he reported directly to Clapper...

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. On the 5th of May, the American Freedom Alliance convened a conference on leftist radicalism. Before David Horowitz stepped up to the podium to discuss the threat of leftist extremism, Dr. Karen Siegemund, the president of the AFA, welcomed the attendees by speaking to our common values. “Each of us here believes in the unparalleled force for good that is Western Civilization, that is our heritage, whether we were born here or not,” she said....

President Donald Trump, his 2020 re-election campaign, and the Republican National Committee (RNC) are attempting to revolutionize GOP fundraising by bringing the whole process for all party candidates under one roof in an outfit called “WinRed,” but some in the consultant class who stand to lose significant business are fighting back against it. Democrats have had, for more than a decade under their banner fundraising tool “ActBlue,” essential uniformity, especially among small-dollar donors with a tool that allows them to, at peak effectiveness, steer dollars to where they are most needed to win elections. Republicans, because they have used a...

Thousands of protesters packed Times Square on Thursday evening to demonstrate against President Trump firing Secretary of State Jeff Sessions — a move they view as a threat to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. The crowd of about 4,000 formed in Times Square at about 5 p.m. and headed south on Broadway toward Union Square. Some held signs that read “Trump is not above the law” and “Protect Mueller!” The crowd also chanted “No excuse! Must recuse!” as they rallied in Times Square, according to video of the protest.

Capitol Police on October 3 arrested 27-year old congressional staffer Jackson Cosko for posting on Wikipedia the private addresses of three members of the Senate Judiciary Committee—what’s known as “doxxing” (a word derived from the shorthand for “document”). Cosko is facing serious charges that include illegally posting private information of public figures, witness tampering, threats, identity theft, and unlawful entry. In the mainstream media, Cosko is being portrayed as a hapless overzealous intern who didn’t even have the smarts to cover up his criminal act. His former boss— Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) has denied she knew anything about Cosko’s activities....

A Massachusetts man was arrested Thursday morning after a letter with white powder was sent to Donald Trump Jr.’s New York City apartment earlier this month. Trump Jr.’s wife, Vanessa, was taken to the hospital in the incident. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Josh Campbell wrote quit the FBI this week. Then he wrote an op-ed for The New York Times where he complained about people exposing the corruption and criminal acts by agency leaders. Maybe the FBI wasn’t a good fit for Josh? The New York Times thinks we should all stop picking on the FBI and let them continue their coup. The liberal media is especially upset with President Trump for questioning the agency and the DOJ over their special counsel witch hunt.Try to read this and not laugh out loud.Axios reported: Josh Campbell, a special agent at the FBI, resigned...

From:replies@actblue.com To: john.podesta@gmail.com Date: 2016-01-21 17:01 Subject: Fundamental flaw Dear John, Ted Cruz's super PAC just poured $2.5 million into ad buys in Iowa and South Carolina. Sounds scary, right? Well, it is and it isn't. $2.5M is certainly a lot of money, but super PACs have to pay exorbitant charges for TV ad time compared to real campaigns, and they can't coordinate with the campaigns on messaging. Which means that a real campaign could make the same impact for a whole lot less -- that's super PAC's fundamental flaw. Democrats fundraising through ActBlue don't need $2.5 million in expendable...

Democrats and many in the media routinely complain about money spent in politics, and they regularly lash out at conservatives and big business. Turns out, unions are the top spenders in politics. Twelve of the top 20 political donors from 1989 to 2014 have been unions, which overwhelmingly support Democratic causes, according to an analysis done by OpenSecrets.org's Center for Responsive Politics. Seven of the top 10 donors overall give almost exclusively to politicians or groups on the left. ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for Democrats and progressive causes and features Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer...

If you asked Americans who carries the most clout in political funding, liberals would typically answer corporations, while conservatives might name labor unions, and both would have a point, but few would probably think to mention a PAC called ActBlue. In fact, however, since its launch in June 2004, this PAC has become America's top political donor, ahead of both the AFSCME and AT&T in contributions made between 1989 and 2012, according to data compiled from FEC sources by the Center for Responsive Politics. According to ActBlue's own website, the organization had raised over $290 million in contributions as of...

Fans of the late Michael Jackson wanna be startin' somethin'.They consider the critical remarks of Rep. Peter King (R-New York) about Jackson to be really, really bad.King's tongue became a razor, in their eyes, and the congressman has to answer right now.An anonymous fan created an ad hoc group, Michael Jackson Fans AGAINST Peter King, at the liberal fundraising website, ActBlue.com, which describes itself as "the online clearinghouse for Democratic action." Here's the pitch from the site: Congressman Peter King is at again, this time defaming the late Michael Jackson, calling MJ a "pervert', 'low-life", and a "pedophile". As Rick Sanchez...

The campaign is over, but Norm Coleman and Al Franken still want your money. The bitter U.S. Senate campaign between Republican incumbent Coleman and DFL challenger Franken was the most expensive race in the country this year, to the tune of $32 million ($10 million more than the next most expensive race). But with an equally bitter recount going on, and with hundreds of volunteers for both camps swarming the recount sites to oversee the proceedings, both campaigns still have their hands outstretched, looking for donations to help pay for the costs associated with the recount – feeding and housing...
