Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy is refusing to address reports he is romantically involved with a former Democratic political operative running a Soros-funded media network masquerading as independent media. Murphy, who recently announced separation from his wife after nearly two decades together, was recently photographed having a cozy dinner with Tara McGowan, the founder and publisher of Courier Newsroom, a progressive media group that has received millions of dollars in funding from liberal mega-donors such as George Soros. McGowan has long held ties with the Democratic Party, working on former President Barack Obama's re-election campaign before serving in top positions at...

Saikat Chakrabarti is not your typical political activist, to say the least. A former finance guy and startup founder and an early engineer at Stripe, Chakrabarti left industry to work for Bernie Sanders in 2015. From there he went on to found the Brand New Congress political action committee, with the goal of discovering new political talent. One of the people he discovered was none other than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Chakrabarti was just getting started. He co-founded the incredibly influential Justice Democrats and the think tank New Consensus. He became AOC’s chief of staff, during which time he wrote the original...

CAIR, under the guise of civil rights advocacy, has strategically built a political machine using tax-exempt status, lobbying arms, and its newly established Unity and Justice Fund Super PAC to infiltrate and influence U.S. elections while shielding its financial operations from scrutiny.

In early February, Democrats elected online activist David Hogg as the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Only days after the election, some Democrat strategists already began questioning elevating Hogg to a prominent role. In just his first two weeks, Hogg has become embroiled in controversy after allegations that he is using the DNC platform to solicit donations for his own PAC. Now, Hogg is being slammed for his tone-deaf criticism of President Trump’s weekend appearance at the Daytona 500. On Sunday, President Trump and Air Force One did a flyover above the race track. He then addressed...

Some Democratic insiders are already expressing concerns over newly elected Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg just two weeks into his tenure in leadership. Hogg has already ruffled some feathers within the DNC for using the committee’s contact list to solicit donations for his own political action committee (PAC), Leaders We Deserve, according to a report from the New York Post. "David Hogg here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win," reads one of...

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...

Within days of its founding in early August, a mysterious company called Save Our Home Planet Action, Inc. managed to get ahold of nearly $2.2 million—funds that it promptly handed over to a collection of major Democratic super PACs...Federal Election Commission records show the mysterious company shares an address with Patagonia, the self-proclaimed "activist company" that has committed to donating $100 million every year to combat climate change and uses the "Save Our Home Planet" slogan in the clothing it sells. And California business records show Greg Curtis, a former Patagonia legal officer who now heads the retailer's parent nonprofit,...

The law firm of Democratic fixer and election denier Marc Elias is linked to a network of super PACs whose deceptive text messages infuriated and baffled voters across the country, a Washington Free Beacon review has found. Evidence for Impact, a dark money group that Elias’s law firm formed earlier this year, contributed $2 million in September to a super PAC called Voters of These 50 States of America. The super PAC, which was formed in August, is the lone funder of the super PACs AllVote, MaxVote, VoteWin, and Coconut Brat PAC, according to campaign finance records. Those groups came...

Elon Musk wants his pro-Trump America PAC to target progressive district attorneys across the country, and Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner appears likely to be on that list. Musk specifically wants his PAC to challenge DAs who have received money from billionaire George Soros — a prominent liberal donor and frequent target of right-wing conspiracy theories — or affiliated entities, The Washington Post reported last week. During his last run for district attorney, Krasner received support from a Soros-affiliated PAC. Musk’s potential plans come as Krasner — who reportedly intends to seek a third term — could face challenges from...

House Democrats’ campaign arm sued the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Thursday to block Republicans from using a campaign finance strategy that Democratic committees employ. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) alleges in its lawsuit that Republican joint fundraising committees are exploiting a campaign finance loophole by running attack ads, which they are prohibited from doing, and simply categorizing them as fundraising ads, which are allowed, Axios reported. A joint fundraising committee formed by the DCCC and Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Elisa Slotkin, however, is running an attack ad against Republican Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers that seemingly uses the...

@JackPosobiec HOLY SHLIT Elon's America PAC is offering $47 for EACH registered voter you refer in a swing state that signs this petition:

Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s political action committee is offering starting wages of $30 an hour to individuals seeking to increase voter registration and turnout, the PAC’s website shows. "JOIN OUR TEAM," Musk-founded America PAC reads on its website. "Email us if you are interested in working on increasing voter registration and voter turnout. Pay starts at $30 per hour, with bonuses for performance."

If a voter in Michigan performs a search on Google , a somewhat shocking ad might pop up. The ad shows a young man lying in bed late at night when someone else texts him, “Hey you need to vote,” and then sends the man a video of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The man can hear the gunshots and people screaming in the background. As Trump is rushed off stage with blood pouring down his face, the man watching the video types in response, “This is out of control. How do I start?” The ad then...

A top pro-Trump super PAC is expanding its ad spending against Vice President Kamala Harris and launching new ads attacking her record as a prosecutor in California and on immigration. The PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., is adding an additional $32 million of ad buys from now until Labor Day, totaling $70 million. The group is focusing its spending — totaling roughly $12 million a week — in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona, according to details shared first with POLITICO. Almost immediately after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping aside from the race on...

JUST IN: Elon Musk has donated to a super political action committee working to elect Donald Trump to the White House, per Bloomberg. Musk has contributed to a low-profile group called America PAC. It’s unclear how much Musk has given

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Pennsylvania Democrats, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have ties to a super PAC that former President Donald Trump’s campaign said engaged in “election interference.” Pennsylvania Values, a Democrat super PAC based out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, enflamed controversy in June when the group ran an ad telling voters to “Stand strong with President Trump Against Mail in Voting!” Author Sean Parnell called this move “brazen election interference and a direct response to what we are doing in Pennsylvania with mail-in ballots & Republican voter registration. This is NOT how President Trump feels. This is a lie....

Gun control activist David Hogg has been hit with allegations over the spending practices of his group Leaders We Deserve PAC. Conservative outlets are reporting that the group spent comparably little on actual candidates as opposed to travel and expenses. His prior counsel is a familiar name in such controversies in Washington: former Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias.Hogg created a group in the aftermath of the 2022 midterm elections to elect Generation Z politicians to offices throughout the country. The group was given favorable national coverage in major media outlets. He explained that contributions would be used to elect...

Gun control activist David Hogg is living high on the hog thanks to the many donors cutting checks to his political action committee (PAC), Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show. Hogg created a group in the aftermath of the 2022 midterm elections called Leaders We Deserve PAC, which states that its goal is to elect Generation Z politicians to offices throughout the country. He created the PAC with Kevin Lata, the campaign manager for Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL)—a Generation Z Democrat elected in 2022.

The Senate Majority PAC and an affiliated nonprofit have injected themselves into Ohio and Montana Republican primaries this cycle... Groups aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have meddled in several Republican primaries this election cycle, a tactic that has been underway a number of years. The Senate Majority PAC (SMP), which works to elect and keep Democrats in Congress' upper chamber, has targeted Republican primaries in at least two states for the 2024 elections. SMP tends to maneuver using other groups to conceal its involvement until after the primaries. It mainly targets swing states by boosting candidates supported by...
