Trump Makes Massive Move Against Democrats’ ActBlue PlatformTrending Politics NewsBy Mark SteffenApril 24, 2025President Donald Trump is hitting Democrats right where it hurts the most: their national pocketbook.ActBlue, the party’s preferred vendor for campaign contributions, is the focus of a new presidential memo directing U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to crack down on the alleged proliferation of foreign money in American elections. Federal campaign finance laws prohibit noncitizens from donating to candidates for office.The order is widely seen to target ActBlue, which Republicans have singled out for a lack of rigor in verifying that donors are indeed citizens.Trump’s directive didn’t come as a shock to top Democrats who had been girding for weeks in anticipation of such a move.In a letter to fellow party leaders, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones wrote, “Nothing will deter or interrupt ActBlue’s mission and work to enable millions of Americans to participate in our democracy. There is an ongoing and persistent effort to weaken the confidence of the American people in what’s possible. This is the next version of ‘the big lie.’”On Thursday, ActBlue told Politico, “ActBlue plays a vital role in enabling all Americans to participate in our democracy and the organization strictly abides by all federal and state laws governing its activities. We will always stand steadfast in defending the rights of all Americans to participate in our democracy and ActBlue will continue its mission undeterred and uninterrupted, providing a safe, secure fundraising platform for the millions of grassroots donors who rely on us.”The president’s order builds on an investigation by U.S. House Republicans into the authenticity of Democratic donations on the platform.(more)https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-trump-makes-massive-move-against-democrats-actblue-platform-mstef/

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
