CW: USPol, Politcal Donations 2025 (1Q)
Just looked up name on the #FEC web site to see if people can see my political contributions. Some retired person with the same name as me made 3 contributions of $105 to #Trump campaign in 2025, dwarfing my $20.25 contribution to the #ActBlue #PAC. So disheartening. I am not even sure why Trump is fundraising in 2025 and/or why this retiree figures $105/mo is worth of their ongoing contribution.

Core Democratic groups are preparing to be targeted by the #Trump administration
By STEVE PEOPLES
Updated 12:14 PM EDT, April 15, 2025NEW YORK (AP) — "As President Donald Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power, some of the Democratic Party’s core political institutions are preparing for the possibility that the federal government may soon launch criminal investigations against them.
"The Democrats’ dominant national fundraising platform, #ActBlue, and the party’s largest #protest group, #Indivisible, are working with their attorneys for just such a scenario, according to officials within both organizations. Trump’s top political allies have suggested both groups should face prosecution.
"Other Democratic allies are planning for Trump-backed legal crackdowns as well. Wary of antagonizing the Republican president, most prefer to stay anonymous for now.
" 'Every one of our clients is concerned about being arbitrarily targeted by the Trump administration. We are going to great lengths to help clients prepare for or defend themselves,' said Ezra Reese, political law chair at Elias Law Group, which represents Democratic groups and candidates and is chaired by Marc Elias, the lawyer who has himself been a Trump target.
"An FBI spokesperson declined to comment when asked about potential investigations into ActBlue and Indivisible. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not downplay the threat of a potential criminal probe when asked specifically whether Trump wants the FBI, the Treasury Department or any other federal agency to investigate Democratic groups."

#JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".
1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas
2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure
Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).
