More than two months after Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump, the joint fundraising committee she set up with the Democratic National Committee is still charging recurring donors, according to a Politico report. Some of them are miffed. “It’s silly, out of touch, and needlessly takes advantage of our most loyal supporters,” one Democrat told Politico, sharing screenshots of charges to their accounts continuing into January. They said the Harris Victory Fund did not seek their explicit approval to keep withdrawing cash, instead saying in an email that they would continue “until you contact us.”

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...

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...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s contributions from small-dollar donors have plummeted since his last White House campaign, presenting the former president with a financial challenge as he tries to keep pace with the Democrats' fundraising machine. Trump’s fundraising dip raises questions about the party’s ability to continue tapping its aging base for funds. Such voters often live on fixed incomes and don’t have the extra cash to contribute to candidates, and polls have consistently found that the Republican base is growing older. Republicans also engaged in a hyperaggressive — often combative — style of digital fundraising that is alienating voters,...

The Harris campaign raised over $189 million in August, more than quadruple the $44 million sum that the Trump campaign brought in. Those figures reflect fundraising specifically for the candidate’s main campaign accounts and do not include donations to the other branches of their political operations. The Harris campaign announced earlier this month a total $361 million August haul from campaign donations joint with the Democratic National Committee and fundraising committees. That dwarfed the $130 million raised between the Trump campaign and its joint fundraising committees. These figures do not factor in September donations, including the Harris campaign’s $47 million...

hey say no good deed goes unpunished. An Oakland, California, City Council candidate, who is running for office on a platform of addressing the city’s homeless crisis and "skyrocketing levels of crime," said she had a bag full of donations stolen by a homeless woman during her campaign kickoff event on Sunday.

During the 2020 election, the DNC announced a partnership with the Action Network, a leftist nonprofit, aimed at raising money to “elect Democrats up and down the ballot”.

Action Network was also crucial to the fundraising of Antifa. Going by the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund on the Action Network, the mostly peaceful but also...

Higbie’s investigation, fueled by data from Election Watch and the Federal Election Commission (FEC), uncovered thousands of small donations that raise serious questions about their legitimacy. “The measure in politics, unfortunately, is how much money you have raised,” Higbie began. “Ironically, it’s also the easiest thing to track. So we did, and holy rusted metal Batman, did a bunch of people find a bunch of stuff that appears to not add up on where...
