EXCLUSIVE 🧵Inside the Mamdani Machine
How did a 34-year-old political novice climb to the edge of running America’s biggest city?

For days, I've buried myself in 990s, social media posts and insider reports to investigate for @FoxNews how Mamdani's rise was engineered, funded by a ethno-religious network funded in part by @GeorgeSoros @FordFoundation @macfound and propelled by socialists, radical imams and political operatives, including Palestinian American Linda Sarsour, accused for years of deeply-held anti-semitism.

I've been following these organizations and activists for 23 years, and their orchestrated coordination is not an accident. It's politically engineered.

🔗Please read the article here: foxnews.com/politics/insid…

🔗And here is our public @DPearlProject database of the 110 organizations in the Mamdani Machine, following the money: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@DataRepublican @SamAntar: some of the groups get city funding. That will likely increase as a flow of money to these groups if Mamdani wins.

In my book #WokeArmy, I wrote about the alliance of socialists (red) with Muslims (green) and now we can see in the Mamdani Machine how they are entrenched with the Democratic Party (blue).

110 Organizations in the Mamdani Machine
This graphic of the 110 organizations in the Mamdani Machine is messy and busy and breaks every rule of design but I hope it will get the point across to you about the Mamdani Machine:
🔴 4 Socialist and socialist-aligned groups including @DemSocialists
🟢 30 Muslim and South Asian groups including the @CAIRNational @ICNA @EmgageUSA @EmgageAction @MAS_National Linda Sarsour's @MPower_Change, the imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who served as a character witness for the "Blind Sheikh" convicted in the first World Trade Center attack in 1993.
🔵 76 Democratic and Dem-aligned groups including 21 affialiates of the @DNC, 22 unions including @AFLCIO unions and 33 Dem-aligned groups, including @MoveOn @thenation and @sunrisemvmt

🧵I'll walk you through the timeline for the development of the Mamdani Machine.

@FoxNews 1⃣ In 2012, as a student at Bowdoin College in Maine, @ZohranKMamdani cofounded a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine @NationalSJP, the campus organization founded by @HatemBazian and known for its rabid anti-Israel activism.
foxnews.com/politics/insid…

@FoxNews @ZohranKMamdani @NationalSJP @HatemBazian 2⃣ In 2017, Zohran Mamdani canvassed with Linda Sarsour for @DemSocialists city council candidate Khader El-Yateem, aligned with him in their rabid anti-Israel work. Sarsour (2nd from left) and Mamdani (5th from left) bonded as Sarsour's star was falling for antisemitism.

🚨 At @FairfaxTimes, I’ve learned @FCPSNews @FCPSSupt Michelle Reid quietly closed an investigation into a boy “who has facial hair” who watched girls undress in the West Springfield High School locker room — concluding it’s OK because he identifies as female. 🧵what went down…

2/ Full @DFIPolicy complaint in 🧵

Sept. 2, freshman girl, 14, walked into the girls’ locker room at West Springfield High and saw “a male student” with “facial hair” and pants “so tight they clearly outlined his genitalia.” He was watching girls in “various stages of undress.”

@DFIPolicy @data_republican 3/ Upset, the girl told a teacher who said “there was nothing” she could do.

The girl called her mom.

School officials told the mom the boy “has a right to use the girls’ locker room because he identifies as female.”

🧵 You won’t believe the Democratic org behind the racist sign a woman held up to challenge Lt. Gov @WinsomeSears, who is black. The sign: “HEY WINSOME, IF TRANS CAN'T SHARE YOUR BATHROOM THEN BLACKS CAN'T SHARE MY WATER FOUNTAIN.”

2) Read Poster Lady’s affiliation on her shirt in video posted by @Jaaavis.

@NoVA_Campaigns recognized
@arlingtondems Chair Steve Baker, as he whispered to Poster Lady: “That’s getting a lot of play on TV right now…Negative.”

What’s her shirt say?

@Jaaavis @NoVA_Campaigns @arlingtondems 3) See her tee?

It says: WOFA in red and yellow.

What is WOFA?

It self-describes:
“We of Action Virginia | An Indivisible group.”

Who is Indivisible? @DataRepublican knows.

It’s the multimillion-dollar Dem machine behind ALL the anti-Trump, anti-Elon, anti-Tesla protests.

🚨 How did a Socialist Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, who wants to globalize the intifada become the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor? This is the story of a 20-year political campaign — funded by the House of Soros — where Socialism🔴Political Islam🟢and the Democratic Party🫏🔵merged.

EXCLUSIVE. Who is funding the anti-Trump #NoKings protests? It's 198 companies with $2.1 billion in revenues.

WATCH and READ to learn.

I wanted to hear it straight from the source—so on Tuesday, I tuned into a live town hall with @AFTunion’s @RWeingarten, @TheRevAl Sharpton from @NationalAction, and @LeahGreenbergB of @IndivisibleTeam.

They proudly laid out the nationwide anti-Trump protests they’ve planned for this Saturday, June 14, under the banner #NoKings.

I recorded the town hall—and I’m sharing the video with you here.

They admit they’re organizing these protests. And they’re not grassroots players. These are top-tier Democratic Party operatives, with enormous influence and funding.

But when I started following the money behind the full list of protest "partners," I realized that these three are just the tip of the iceberg.

According to research by the Pearl Project—a nonprofit journalism initiative I lead, named in honor of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl—the 198 organizations that say they are organizers of the #NoKings protests are not just grassroots citizens. They're all aligned with the Democratic Party, and many claim to be “nonpartisan” despite acting as political operatives.

Together, these groups report more than $2.1 BILLION in total annual revenue.

🔹 Read and share my full breakdown @FoxNewsOpinion @FoxNews: foxnews.com/opinion/asra-n…
🔹 Explore the database here:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d….

(Enjoy, @DataRepublican, and share with me any recommendations to make this better!)

Why follow the money? Because from Los Angeles to D.C., we’ve seen these protests escalate into violence—and we must understand who’s behind them to understand why.

These aren’t mom-and-pop protestors. This is an elite class of political influencers using nonprofit structures to operate like a shadow government. Just look at their annual salaries:

🔹Randi Weingarten: $474,951
🔹Al Sharpton: $648,786
🔹ACLU’s Anthony Romero: $1.3 million

Fairfax County citizen Lissa Kenkel @NOVAHopeSo, who helped me cull the financial data, puts it well:

“The very people bankrolling and leading these so-called grassroots movements are the crowned royalty of the nonprofit world, sitting in their air-conditioned offices, collecting six-figure salaries, while encouraging the common folk to torch their own cities in the name of ‘saving democracy.’"

"It’s manufactured chaos, sold as revolution, by people who wouldn’t last five minutes in the rubble they’re creating.”

Here’s the #NoKings protest funding breakdown, and I'll list all the groups in a thread:

🔹 3 official entities of the Democratic National Committee: College Democrats of America, Manhattan Young Democrats and Westside Democratic Headquarters in Norwalk, Calif.
🔹 16 Democratic political action committees, or PACs, including Friends of Bernie Sanders, Progressive Democrats of America and Vote Blue — with about $19.4 million in spending power for Democratic political candidates.
🔹 18 Democratic-aligned 501(c)(5) labor unions, including lead organizer, the American Federation of Teachers, along with the United Auto Workers, the Communications Workers of America and the National Treasury Employees Union, with a total of $1.1 billion in revenues, most of their political contributions going to Democratic candidates.
🔹 76 Democratic-aligned 501(c)(4) political nonprofits, including the ACLU, Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, Working Families Organization Inc., Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and lead organizer Indivisible Project, all with another $734.3 million in revenues.
🔹47 501(c)(3) nonprofits, legally restricted from partisan advocacy, including innocuous-sounding groups like the Unitarian Universalist Association, Accountable US and the American Humanist Association, with $286.7 million to the cause.
🔹38 additional Democratic-aligned groups, including Michigan Resistance Coalition, Families Over Billionaires, 50501, Tax the Greedy Billionaire and Mennonite Action, with undisclosed financials.

TOTAL: 198 groups with $2.1 billion in annual revenue behind #NoKings

But this isn’t just about June 14.

Many of the same groups also organized earlier protests like #TeslaTakedown, #HandsOff, and #MayDay. In those protests, we identified 267 more organizations with a combined $1.3 billion in annual revenue.

That brings the total to:
🔹 475 organizations
🔹 $3.4 billion in annual budgets
🔹 All aligned against Trump’s movement

And we’re not done. My database includes another 1,500+ organizations—many involved in anti-Israel protests, anti-ICE demonstrations, and other coordinated mass mobilizations. Stay tuned for those results.

This is not a grassroots movement. It’s a billion-dollar machine dressed in protest gear.

BREAKING. At the @DPearlProject, we identified 198 organizations that are funding and supporting the #NoKings anti-Trump protests tomorrow. Make that 197 groups now.

National Treasury Employees Union @NTEUnews President Doreen Greenwald just issued a statement (full statement below) saying that #NoKings organizers "incorrectly" listed the union as a partner of its protests planned for tomorrow, and it is NOT a "partner, co-organizer, or sponsor of the No Kings event."

The use of the logo was "unauthorized and done without our consent."

She says: "Upon discovering this, we immediately contacted the event organizers and demanded the removal of our name and logo."

She insists: "no union dues or funds were contributed to support or sponsor this event in any way."

The organizers include @IndivisibleTeam @Leahgreenb @AFTunion @RWeingarten @NationalAction @TheRevAl.

The National Treasury Employees Union may be correcting the record about the June 14, 2025, #NoKings protests, but the National Treasury Employees Union is in our Pearl Project database for being a sponsor of the April 5, 2025, #HandsOff protests, also organized by @IndivisibleTeam, and May 5, 2025, anti-Trump protests. I'll ask them if they were correctly described a sponsors of those protests. Stay tuned.

cc: @DataRepublican -- I think these groups with nonprofit status know their partisan work really belies the spirit of tax laws, if not the letter of the law. Also it's important to note that the union pointed out that no "union dues or funds" were used to fund these anti-Trump protests. But, as I note, Indivisible listed the union as a partner in the #HandsOff protests. For so many years, "nonprofit" groups have gone unchecked as they act as partisan political actors, while enjoying and exploiting their nonprofit status.

From: NTEU-PR Date: Fri, Jun 13, 2025 at 1:42 PM Subject: NTEU statement To: asra@asranomani.com

Statement from NTEU President Doreen Greenwald
"The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) is not a partner, co-organizer, or sponsor of the No Kings event. The use of the NTEU logo in connection with this event was unauthorized and done without our consent. Furthermore, no union dues or funds were contributed to support or sponsor this event in any way."

"NTEU was incorrectly and briefly listed as a partner on the No Kings website. Upon discovering this, we immediately contacted the event organizers and demanded the removal of our name and logo. The logo has since been removed."

"We take the misuse of our name and logo seriously and are committed to ensuring that NTEU’s identity is not misrepresented."

Friends! Thank you for your notes of appreciation for my new @FoxNews @FoxNewsOpinion column. I now have ready a text list of the (now) 197 #NoKings "partners" but guess what? I found key organizers not on the official roll. Stay tuned. 197 in🧵Buckle up! foxnews.com/opinion/asra-n…
