National News See other National News Articles Title: Democrat Fundraising Powerhouse ActBlue Facing “Internal Chaos” The Democrat fundraising machine ActBlue is reportedly dealing with “internal chaos” as a mass exodus among senior officials began late last month, according to an article from the New York Times. Towards the end of the Biden administration, Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) and congressional Republicans opened an investigation into the Democrats’ premier funding apparatus for potential fraud involving foreign donations that potentially violate federal campaign finance laws. In an August 2024 press release, Rep. Steils stated: “Illegal and malicious conduct have no place in our elections. Ensuring all parties are complying with federal election law as we approach a presidential election is of utmost importance. By launching a new phase of our investigation into ActBlue, the Committee on House Administration has begun robust oversight of ActBlue’s lenient donor verification standards. I’m committed to ensuring Americans can have confidence in our elections and to preventing foreign or malicious actors from influencing American elections.” Now, it is being reported that at least seven senior executives at ActBlue have resigned since late February. These resignations have left just one single lawyer in the general counsel’s office at ActBlue. According to the NY Times report: ActBlue…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…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 blistering letter to ActBlue’s board of directors that listed the seven officials who had left. The letter described an “alarming pattern” of departures that was “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.” Was Steil’s investigation into ActBlue’s potentially illegal funding the spark that led to the resignation of senior executives at ActBlue? The report goes on to mention Zain Ahmad, reportedly the last remaining attorney in ActBlue’s general counsel office. Ahmad alludes to being retaliated against for allegedly blowing the whistle. In response to having all of his email access and access to “other internal platforms” cut off, he wrote, “Please be advised that we have Anti-Retaliation and Whistleblower Policies for a reason.” The article makes no reference to what Ahmad may have been trying to bring to light; however, there has been incredible scrutiny on the smurfing practices that have been researched by Peter Bernegger, Chris Gleason, and their team, demonstrating millions of dollars potentially laundered to Democrat campaigns and PACs through unknowing citizens whose identities have been used to make thousands of small-dollar donations through the ActBlue platform. This process is known as “smurfing.” Election Watch’s Peter Bernegger Exposes ActBlue Finance Laundering and Chinese NGO Influence in US Politics | The Gateway Pundit | by Brian Lupo The NY Times writes that “if ActBlue were to become severely diminished” it would be a massive blow to the Democrats in the upcoming elections, with funding being allocated to Democrats ranging from local school boards all the way to the Presidency. Without this funding available, it would be increasingly more difficult for the Democrats to wage a formidable response to the America First policies of the Trump administration in the 2026 Midterm Elections.
