In late 2020, I shared evidence with @FBI agents that ActBlue was funding Hamas and laundering money.
Not only did they do nothing, but when I raised the issue again in 2022, I was urged to remain silent.
And still, nothing has happened. But today, I go public. 👇
I'm sharing the report I submitted to the FBI documenting ActBlue funding an organization run by five state-department designated terrorists groups, including Hamas.
ActBlue disabled their credit card verification process so that as long as the card numbers are valid, the name and address don't need to match the actual card owner's.
No other donation platform allows this, and it results in higher transaction fees.
Why?
My research on this was the basis of the report from Take Back America that was publicized on Fox News.
This is a chart I created that was part of the report.
Employer is required to be reported, but if you are donating in the name of someone you don't know, you probably don't know the name of their actual employer - so you leave it blank, report retired/unemployed.
🧵Today, I got a message from supporter of @LookAheadOrg disheartened by the continued over-prosecution and unfair treatment of nonviolent participants in the J6 protests and disappointed our org was not able to do more.
I shared the disappointment, and this was my response:
@LookAheadOrg Look Ahead America did not exist on January 6th, 2021.
Despite that, we let the fight for Justice for J6 this way:
- Held 70 rallies and vigils to successfully reshape public opinion about is happening. This was a measurable shift.
@LookAheadOrg - Built the most comprehensive database of the political prisoners, including data on how donors could support them.
Short analysis of the voting location issues in Maricopa and how they affected Ds versus Rs.
1. It's not possible to precisely analyze if the issues happened disproportionately to Republicans based on voting location because voters had the option to vote anywhere in the county; they were not restricted on where they could vote based on their home precinct.
2. The data to analyze what the partisan leaning of a polling location is not available. Results are not tabulated by polling location and the location where someone voted is not tabulated, so we can't analyze based on voting location election results or party reg of voters.
My point here isn't that Americans should rise up against our government, but to make plain how poorly our president (and so many others) understand the nature of warfare.
Every mess we've been in since Vietnam has been caused by this mindset. 🧵
An unpopular empire can be overthrown with a single pistol.
A pretty girl gives a lone sentry a smile, distracting him long enough for a fellow partisan to put one bullet in his skull and then seize his automatic rifle. Rinse, repeat, you outfit an army.
F-15s (and now F-22s/F-35s) are no substitute for winning over the hearts and minds of a people. They can't hold ground, they're just expensive targets for the enemy.
I want to extend my gratitude to @joekent16jan19 for giving me the rare opportunity to run at full speed.
Joe gave this race absolutely everything he had and it inspired those of us on his team to do the same, and this was a legendary accomplishment. Let me tell you why:
🧵
Jaime Herrera Beutler was, without a doubt, the most difficult impeachment voter to dislodge. Unlimited money due to her position on the approps committee, unlimited dark money thanks to McCarthy's determination to save her,
a MAGA-right split between three (!) candidates, the largest electorate of any primary in the country (and therefor the most expensive to mail, door knock, etc.), the complications of a jungle primary, and twelve years of Republicans in the habit of voting for JHB.
