🧵🧵The Unelected President: Neera Tanden, the NGO Cartel, and the Greatest Conflict of Interest in Modern American Politics
On June 24, 2025, the mask finally slipped.
Testifying before Congress behind closed doors, Neera Tanden, a longtime Democratic operative and former president of the far-left think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) she admitted to running the autopen for President Joe Biden. She didn’t just witness the signature process. She oversaw it. In some cases, she was the one signing the President’s name to executive orders and laws.
This wasn’t a technicality. This was a transfer of power. Joe Biden was not acting as President. Neera Tanden was.
And that’s only half the scandal.

Follow the Money: From Washington to the NGO Empire
Before stepping into the West Wing, Tanden spent years at the helm of CAP, where she helped craft a quiet revolution in federal funding strategy:
•Traditionally, federal money flowed to state and local governments, empowering elected officials to implement policy based on local needs.
•Under guidance from CAP and its policy architects including Tanden that model was dismantled.
•In its place? A massive NGO distribution network.
Rather than giving money to mayors, governors, or county agencies, the Biden administration began funneling billions in taxpayer dollars directly to “approved” nonprofit groups, many of which were politically aligned with CAP and other progressive institutions.
These NGOs became the new gatekeepers of public money, funding everything from housing to education to public health. And they weren’t accountable to voters. They were accountable to bureaucrats, often the same people who helped build them.

The Circular Scam: Tanden’s Role on Both Ends
This is where the conflict of interest becomes undeniable and explosive.
•As head of CAP, Tanden helped design the policy architecture that gave preferred NGOs outsized control of federal money.
•Later, as Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, she wielded executive authority over how those policies were implemented.
•Now, in sworn testimony, we learn she also signed the documents via autopen that activated the very programs and funding models her allies stood to profit from.
This is not just a revolving door. It’s a closed loop of power and money.
Neera Tanden wasn’t just advising on policy. She was authoring executive orders, overseeing disbursements, and enabling unaccountable NGOs to control billions of dollars—while holding the pen with Joe Biden’s name on it.

Biden the Figurehead, Tanden the Executor
The June 24 revelations confirmed what critics have long suspected: Joe Biden was no longer exercising the powers of the presidency.
Whether due to cognitive decline, political shielding, or deliberate administrative design, he wasn’t governing. Tanden was.
And that raises urgent constitutional questions:
•Who authorized her to sign legally binding documents?
•How many billions were distributed under autopen signatures?
•Which NGOs benefited and what role did they play in Democratic electoral operations?

The Hidden Cartel of Influence
Tanden’s NGO network isn’t a conspiracy it’s a documented reality:
•Center for American Progress, along with allied groups like Arabella Advisors, Indivisible, and the Tides Foundation, helped coordinate nonprofit entities that received government contracts and grants.
•Many of these organizations now sit on millions of dollars in unspent taxpayer funds administered without local oversight or transparency.
•These same networks have been tied to political activism, lawfare against conservative policies, and progressive social engineering efforts at the local level.
And the woman who helped build them? She was the one quietly signing the checks.

The Bottom Line: A Quiet Coup
Neera Tanden was never elected. She was never confirmed by the Senate for a major Cabinet post. Her radical policy views were considered too extreme even by members of her own party.
Yet for nearly two years, she:
•Signed executive orders and laws as if she were President
•Directed billions in federal spending
•Oversaw a system that enriched and empowered a partisan nonprofit cartel
This isn’t just a conflict of interest. It’s a constitutional and ethical crisis.
The American people were told Joe Biden was their President. In reality, they were governed by a progressive operative with a pen and no mandate.

There Must Be Consequences
This is not just political malpractice. It is a subversion of democratic government and a potential criminal abuse of power.
If an unelected staffer can impersonate the President, override the chain of command, and direct billions to partisan NGOs with no accountability, then we are no longer a republic we are something far more dangerous.
Congress must pursue criminal charges. Investigations are not enough. This wasn’t incompetence it was corruption by design. And it must be prosecuted as such.
