" New York Times Reports the Primary Fundraising Mechanism of Democrats Willfully Accepted Foreign Donations



April 3, 2026 | Sundance |

ActBlue is to the Democrat party fundraising machine as WinRed is to the Republican side of the equation.​


In a rather stunning outline by the New York Times [SEE HERE] the progressive outlet is reporting of serious concerns within the leadership of ActBlue related to their willfully blind reception of foreign sources of money to fund Democrat candidates.




The remarkable aspect is not just that ActBlue takes foreign funds, but rather the New York Times revealing internal legal discussions about it. According to the Times reporting, the Eric Holder law firm Covington & Burling, the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery, lies at the heart of the matter."




If foreign nations fund Democrat candidates, isn't that foreign election interference? I recall the Communist Chinese gov't funding the campaigns of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
 
Well obviously the NYT is MAGA! 😂

Lefties will not comment until their thought police tell them what to say.

MAGA accepts foreign donations in many forms especially from the gulf states that our military is currently beholden to.

Based on your own article, the Dems could lose 10 million in foreign funds.


"Democrats are nervous about the investigation
Democrats are outraged by the call for an investigation. They say it smacks of political retribution, considering WinRed has also accepted potentially problematic donations.

“This is him taking direct aim at the center of Democratic and progressive fundraising to hamstring his political opponents,” said Ezra Reese, an attorney who leads the political law division at the Elias Law Group, a leading Democratic firm that does not represent ActBlue. “I don’t think there’s any question that they picked their target first. He’s not even pretending.”

But Democrats are also worried. Some predict a hit worth as much as a $10 million in the short term if ActBlue is forced to shut down. That has led some Democrats to begin thinking about alternatives, though they acknowledged it might be too late to create something as successful as ActBlue with the midterms around the corner.

“There is a pervasive fear that ActBlue could cease to exist,” said Matt Hodges, a veteran Democratic operative who served as the director of engineering for Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. “That’s the worst fear people have — that this will escalate or drain legal resources that hinder their ability to operate.”"

Thread title is a lie.

That is not what the NYT reported.

$10 million is nothing ever since Citizens United. My point is that foreign funds are all over the place in our elections and legislators don't seem to care. ActBlue is singled out because of some perceived slight by Trump or he would never care about it.

Singled out? Like a mob boss getting arrested?
