Protest have increasingly become a tool not merely for expressing dissent but for exerting coercive pressure upon individuals who diverge from prevailing ideological orthodoxies. Recent organized attacks on Tesla dealerships across the nation provide a troubling illustration of this trend, with explicit efforts aimed at intimidating Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk into abandoning his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Central to this disturbing phenomenon are five Democrat-affiliated non-governmental organizations (NGOs)—Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Funded significantly through ActBlue, these entities have leveraged protest not merely as an act...

@elonmusk An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America. ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix. ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel. If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.

Rats jumping ship. ActBlue, major Democratic fundraising group, saw an exodus of senior officials and has “plunged into turmoil” as it faces an investigation from Republicans in Congress. At least seven senior officials left ActBlue in late February, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing a letter from the organization’s unions. That included customer service and partnerships directors who had worked at the organization for more than a decade. ActBlue has become a critical component of the Democratic Party’s fundraising/moneylaundering efforts. As of June 2024, ActBlue had raised $13.7 billion for Democratic candidates and causes. The organization dramatically increased the...

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...

The Obama judge who blocked the Trump administraiton’s ICE raids is the husband of a far-left open borders activist. .....Snip..... Natalie Winters, a co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, did some digging and revealed that Chuang’s wife, Jacinta Ma, is the Vice President of National Immigration Forum (NIF), a pro-open borders advocacy group. The organization promotes policies such as a mass amnesty for illegal aliens and works on putting out propaganda about the supposedly massive contributions made by illegal aliens to the U.S. economy. The group’s largest donor is the Open Society Foundations, which is funded by the liberal...

The data provided in the downloads via our map is from the Federal Election Commission. There are many anomalies in the FEC data and we continue to find more each week. For a few examples, the data should be the same if you download the same query via their website versus using an API. It is not. Another is there are transactions shown completed but dated in the future. A third example is they appear to be counting a transaction fee as a “contribution”. A fourth is they show a State as “ZZ”, we wonder where that is located in...

Gavin Newsom can't be trusted with billions in bail-out money for the torched neighborhoods of Los Angeles. That much is obvious to your humble West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent. That's what you call a cold open to this week's West Coast, Messed Coast™, report where I've been keeping close track of the fire response. Gavin Newsom and his minions in public office — especially L.A. Mayor Karen Bass — can't be trusted to properly account for what will be a years-long effort to rebuild the charred parts of L.A. County. The governor who lost or misspent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in...

As we told you earlier, California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a bit of free time this week so he went on the Obama bros' "Pod Save America" podcast to complain about Trump while saying the fires in his state shouldn't be politicized (politicians rarely want things "politicized" when their incompetence has been exposed for all to see). -snip In a follow-up post, the "Pod Save America" account shared a link for people who would like to donate to the recovery effort, but the link goes to a page for ActBlue, a Dem PAC. Senator Elizabeth Warren took that lead a...

The man who drove a truck into a crowd of New Year's revelers in New Orleans' French Quarter, killing 15, has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a US citizen. The Ford electric vehicle was owned by another 42-year-old man from Houston, Texas. The truck had reportedly been rented out on Turo, and police are in contact with the owner who listed it for rent. The gunman was killed by police after he slammed a truck into pedestrians celebrating the New Year, exited the vehicle, and started firing. The vehicle was reportedly carrying an ISIS flag and a chest...

ActBlue, the massive online fund-raising platform for liberal causes, has informed Congress it did not automatically block donations made with foreign-bought gift cards until recently, a potentially significant revelation in an ongoing investigation into whether China, Russia, Iran or Venezuela routed illicit money to Democrat candidates. House Administratrion Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., whose panel oversees election integrity, told Just the News on Tuesday that ActBlue turned over documents under subpoena showing a major change in September to its donor verification policies designed to protect against illicit money flowing into political campaigns. ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept....

For the first time, a Wisconsin court has approved a subpoena to the massive Democrat fund-raising platform ActBlue, saying it owes an explanation to a Republican whose email identity was used to make liberal donations he did not authorize. “Something is not right,” Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel declared as he approved a limited demand for documents and opened a new front into a widening fund-raising probe begun earlier this year by Congress and 19 attorneys general. Schimel rejected ActBlue’s arguments that it was onerous to require it to comply a subpoena for third-party donations it processed...

Democratic political strategist James Carville called for an audit of Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign spending on his podcast Politics War Room on Thursday. The Harris campaign, with the help of the Democratic Party, raised over $1 billion, during this year's election cycle, according to the Associated Press. Despite her remarkable financial backing, which was accumulated in a few short months after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Harris lost the November 5 election to President-elect Donald Trump. Groups affiliated with Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC), meanwhile, raised just over $1.8 billion, according to the...

ACT BLUE may have been funneling foreign money by attaching names of unsuspecting Americans to “donations” about which they knew nothing.

House investigators formally subpoenaed the Democrat donations platform ActBlue in a rapidly expanding probe into possible illicit foreign funding in the 2024 election after the Treasury Department confirmed to Congress its money laundering detection system has generated hundreds of suspicious activity reports related to the online fund-raising giant. The dramatic developments were communicated to House members and ActBlue itself in a series of memos this week obtained by Just the News that reaffirmed that lawmakers fear foreign adversaries like China, Iran, Venezuela and Russia may be routing illicit foreign money into Democratic coffers by using the names of unsuspecting American...

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson Wednesday shared a website where citizens can check whether their name has been used for any political donations without their permission amid scrutiny of the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. House Republicans recently widened their probe into the ActBlue platform investigating whether four foreign adversaries--Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and China--have funneled money into Democratic Party campaigns in 2024, Just the News reported. The lawmakers specifically demanded any Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to monies passing through Act Blue that were filed by U.S. financial institutions as part of their money-laundering monitoring activities. "It has long been...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Monday said his investigation into ActBlue uncovered large number of suspicious donations made through obscured identities and untraceable means. “Our investigation into ActBlue has uncovered facts indicating that bad actors can illegally interfere in American elections by disguising political donations,” Ken Paxton said. “It is imperative that the FEC close off the avenues we have identified by which foreign contributions or contributions in excess of legal limits could be unlawfully funneled to political campaigns, bypassing campaign finance regulations and compromising our electoral system,” Paxton said. “I am calling on the FEC to immediately begin...
