🧵 Why did I put a photo of Marco Rubio next to Fidel Castro on a story about new U.S. sanctions against Cuba?

1/ Because Secretary of State Rubio just took direct aim at one of Castro’s oldest malign foreign influence and intelligence operations: the “Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples,” or ICAP, the acronym for its name in Spanish, Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos.

As a man of Cuban heritage,
Rubio inherited something that he didn’t have to go to school to learn: cultural intelligence.

Everyone has some level of culture intelligence about a culture from which they have emerged or in which they have immersed: it could be PTA tennis-mom culture, suburban New Jersey culture or Cuban culture.

Rubio probably long ago learned the power of these four letters in the culture of communist Cuba: ICAP.

Created in 1960, one year after Castro seized power, ICAP has spent more than six decades cultivating foreign activists, exporting Marxist ideology and building international support for Cuba’s communist regime.

Among those activists:
📍1970s Weather Underground terrorist members
📍Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (as Spencer Pratt highlighted in a recent ad)
📍 CodePink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans
📍 Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker
📍 People’s Forum executive director Manolo De Los Santos
📍Progressive International cofounder David Adler
📍 American Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham and his Marxist academic father Archibald Singham

These activists deny any wrongdoing.

“For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism,” Rubio said yesterday.

“The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond.”

Remember that term: “third-wordlist movements.” It is what China and Singham are using as a theme in their push for a “new world order,” led by the pro-Cuba Chinese Communist Party and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Now Rubio has sanctioned ICAP among 5 Cuban entities, and he’s warned that anyone providing services to sanctioned Cuban actors is at risk. That means, CodePink, Piker, the Singham network.

This is Rubio directly confronting and dismantling the legacy of Castro in the modern U.S. nonprofit network funded by communist donor Neville Roy Singham.

My latest @FoxNews Digital story lays it all out and I’ll explain more in the 🧵:
foxnews.com/politics/rubio… 2/ ICAP is not some harmless “friendship” society.

For decades, U.S. officials and intelligence assessments have identified ICAP as part of Cuba’s propaganda and influence apparatus.

Its president, Fernando González Llort, is one of the “Cuban Five,” 5 former Cuban intelligence officers convicted in the U.S. on espionage-related charges and later released after prison time.

Rubio’s sanctions target:
📍ICAP, Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples
📍Cuba’s Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces
📍the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, a domestic citizen surveillance operation
📍 Minera La Victoria S.A., a Cuban gold-mining joint venture
📍 Amistur Cuba S.A., a state-run tourism company that has arranged Cuba trips with U.S. nonprofits tied to the Singham network

We recently published a three-part series because I knew these kind of sanctions were coming and wanted you to have the cultural intelligence @SecRubio @MarcoRubio has acquired by osmosis.

Part 1 — Feds investigation

Part 1 establishes the stakes: federal authorities are examining whether U.S. nonprofits and activists coordinated with Cuba in ways that may implicate sanctions, foreign influence rules or registration requirements.

This story introduces the broader network — including CodePink, the People’s Forum, Progressive International and others — and shows that the issue is no longer just ideological sympathy for Cuba. It is now a federal investigative matter involving money, travel, sanctions compliance and possible foreign influence activity.

How it connects: Part 1 gives the legal and investigative frame. Rubio’s sanctions now give that investigation a sharper enforcement backdrop: if U.S. groups work with newly sanctioned Cuban entities, their exposure becomes far more serious.

EXCLUSIVE: The hidden $250K machine of 9 paid vendors behind the 'flagship' #NoKings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota

I followed the money behind the No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minn., and uncovered an estimated $250,000 paid to 9 vendors to produce an event that was about the size of a Def Leppard concert.

Sources said that the Democratic nonprofit Indivisible paid the bill. It didn't respond to numerous requests for comment.

How did I piece this together?

Well, I have a rule when reporting on the protest industry: be the first there and one of the last to leave.

That’s how I met Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. production manager Matt Svobodny, one of the very nice hard-working members of the production crew behind the scenes in St. Paul, as they were breaking down the set for the No Kings protest, long after Bruce Springsteen and most of the anti-Trump protesters had left.

He was straightforward, candid and matter-of-fact about what it takes to throw a protest and, a few days later, guided me -- and you -- through the warehouse where Slamhammer stores the equipment it pulled out for the protest.

He provided the kind of transparency that the secretive nonprofits behind the protests should actually be providing to citizens and the media.

See for yourself:
➡️ the mobile stage
➡️ the speakers
➡️ nearly a mile of heavy-duty feeder cable used to distribute electricity throughout the rally site and the ballistic
➡️ bullet-resistant barriers that shielded the Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, TIm Walz, Ilhan Omar, Randi Weingarten and the day's other bold-faced names

WATCH the video that I recorded ⬇️
Thank you to Fox News Digital's Hannah Brennan for her work editing the video.

In our new @FoxNews Digital exclusive, I lay out how the "flagship" protest in St. Paul wasn’t spontaneous, like most of the media reported.

It was professionally engineered.

And that raises a bigger question: When protests look like productions…who’s really behind the curtain?

I answer that question in the article and the thread below 🧵👇

A former Obama and Biden administration political strategist and campaign operative Roger Fisk takes credit for being the "Senior Advisor to the #NoKings flagship event," fine-tuning the "art and science" of throwing the St. Paul protest, along with two other "No Kings" protests last year. Fisk didn't respond to a request for comment.

The protests have parroted Chinese government propaganda, demonizing America as a "fascist" nation and Trump as a "king." Partners in the protests were pro-communist groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon living in Shanghai.

@DataRepublican, You'll want to read this.

READ: foxnews.com/politics/behin…

Behind the scenes, I identified 9 vendors that were paid an estimated $250,000 to construct the protest:

➡️ Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. — mobile stage, 100-speaker sound system, lighting, 1,700 ft cable, ballistic barriers → estimated $100,000
➡️ Fire Up Video — 4 jumbo screens → estimated $20,000
➡️ Algorithm, an AV company — 2 jumbo screens → estimated $25,000
➡️ Common World Productions — 2 LED stage screens → estimated $10,000
➡️ Warning Lites of Minnesota — bike-rack barricades → estimated $15,000
➡️ E5 Energy — generators, electrical distribution → estimated $15,000
➡️ Ultimate Events — tents, chairs, tables → estimated $30,000
➡️ On Site Companies — ~300 porta-toilets → estimated $25,000
➡️ Fast Kat Connects — high-speed internet → estimated $10,000

Total: an estimated $250,000.

This wasn’t a rally that just “popped up,” as CNN reported.

It was built, truck by truck, cable by cable, screen by screen. 🧵 with how it worked. 2 / Who is Roger Fisk, one of the men that production manager Matt Svobodny told me he worked with closely to organize the No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota?

Fisk is called a "PR guru" and was a former political operative in the Obama and Biden administrations.

Watch this video that I made from Fisk's own talk to get a glimpse into his very deliberate strategy to use the media to win free press -- called "earned media" -- for Obama in 2008 and now the "No Kings" protests.

As I report at @FoxNews Digital, Fisk describes himself as a "Senior Advisor to the
#NoKings flagship event," in a post on LinkedIn after the protest. He takes credit on LinkedIn for developing the "thematic strategies and program frameworks" for No
Kings protests, including the two protests held last year.

Read the full article here for links to Fisk's LinkedIn accounts of his role in organizing the No Kings protests:
foxnews.com/politics/behin…

So the bottomline: a well-established Democratic political operative, Roger Fisk, is behind the strategy for the #NoKings protests that vilify President Trump as a "king" and smear the United States as a "fascist" nation.

In his LinkedIn post, Fisk recalled the "complexity" of organizing the St. Paul event, noting, "Add to that satellite trucks, cable runs, ballistic glass, road closures, most of the bike rack [sic] in North America, risk monitoring and threat analysis, bridge
construction, Springsteen, a kaleidoscope of law enforcement, and staffs of elected officials, security details, and other celebrities that require specific care and respect. The final week was 4 am to 9-10-11 pm…"

Fisk added that "we have learned so much together in developing the art and science of these massive pro-democracy public engagements."

Fisk and Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg didn't respond to requests for comment.

On LinkedIn, Fisk bluntly acknowledged the protests were staged for the cameras for maximum media coverage, which public relations officials call "earned media," a buzzword for free press coverage.

"Earned media is my main metric," Fisk wrote, "and our content reached between a quarter and a half billion impressions in the 24 hours after the events, with our flagship event leading the way."

In his LinkedIn profile, Fisk writes that he worked this past year as a consultant to Indivisible and its earlier "No Kings" protests, saying he "developed thematic strategies and program frameworks for Indivisible’s three pro-democracy mobilizations, engaging
15 million people across every state and 22 countries coordinating messaging across messaging networks."

He didn't disclose how much he had been paid.

As you can see in the video, one key to his strategy is "earned media" through free press coverage.

Until now, the media hasn't reported on Fisk’s role as a mastermind of the #NoKings protests.

SHANGHAI SABOTAGE: It isn’t a theory. Just follow the money. 🧵

PART 3 of our House of Singham Series.
1/ Today, our @FoxNews Digital into the House of Singham followed the flow and found that 3 US nonprofits tied to Neville Roy Singham sent $9.1 MILLION outside the United States to a Shanghai-based propaganda firm: Shanghai Maku Cultural Communication Co. Ltd., connected to Singham and aligned with the Chinese Communist Party.

Let that sink in:
U.S. nonprofit money → Shanghai → “Online news program” production, aligned with communist China.

This isn’t indirect. It’s documented in tax filings.

READ our article here: foxnews.com/politics/red-w…

I have all the links to the IRS 990 tax forms in a spreadsheet at the bottom of the article. I always try to provide original sources because I want you to see the receipts for yourself. 2/ But that’s just one piece.

At the core of this network: 11 U.S.-based nonprofits are functioning as a domestic hub, pushing messaging, funding media, and organizing activism, something that Mao Zedong called "Propaganda Work."

Total flowing into those 11 groups?

About $401 MILLION, according to our @FoxNews Digital investigation

This is not fringe activity. It’s a fully funded ecosystem.

Here are the 11 core U.S. nonprofits at the center of the Singham network — together pulling in ~$401 MILLION:

These are the names to know:
1. People’s Support Foundation — $181.8M
2. Justice and Education Fund Inc. — $74.2M
3. People’s Welfare Association — $70M
4. People’s Forum Inc. — $28M
5. United Community Fund — $21.8M
6. Tricontinental Ltd. — $16.8M
7. BreakThrough BT Media Inc. — $3.5M
8. People’s Dispatch — $1.9M
9. CodePink Women for Peace — $1.8M
10. Progress Unity Fund — $442,524
11. Inter-Religious Foundation for Community Organization Inc. — $420,000

Total: ~$401M flowing through a tightly connected ecosystem.

NEW. POWER COUPLE OF CHAOS: How a tycoon and activist built a 'Revolutionary Base' at the House of Singham

WATCH: Exclusive remarks from Neville Roy Singham ⬇️

I’ve spent a decade in the streets covering the protest industry, not just what people say, but who shows up, how movements form and what patterns repeat.

This morning we are publishing the first part of a five-part series @FOxNews Digital that started with my reporting on the streets.

It changed when I used large language models to analyze years of data, including IRS filings, corporate records, events, messaging.

READ and SHARE: Part 1 of our series: foxnews.com/us/house-singh…

What emerged: a clear portrait of the system and infrastructure behind the protests.

At the center: a transnational network funded by tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham. His wedding to CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans in Jamaica in 2017 ushered in a new decade over which this network has been built.

I call it the House of Singham.

And for the first time — in his own words in a video that I have unearthed from a conference last fall in Shanghai, blessed by the Communist Party of China — we have evidence that Singham is explicitly aligned with:
🟥 The People's Republic of China
🟥 President Xi Jinpeng
🟥 "The CPC," as Singham calls it: the Communist Party of China

"Comrades and friends....," he begins.

SIngham continues in the video: "If we want to, therefore, have a new world order that is based on multilateralism that President Xi and CPC and China have proposed, we have to undo the ideological damage that has been done by the narrative of World War II."

(The West speaks about the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP. Singham uses the term that the government of China uses for its ruling party.)

In the newly discovered remarks, Singham:
🟥 Calls the Western view of WWII a “fascist lie” and frames Western democracy as “fascism”
🟥 Argues the global order must be reconstructed around China
🟥 Praises Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China’s vision for a "new world order"

In a 172-page study, "80th Anniversary of the Victory of the World Anti-Fascist War: Acknowledging Who Truly Saved Human History and Restoring Historical Truth," published under his name, Singham:
🟥 Minimizes U.S. sacrifice in WWII — claiming "just 1%” of deaths were "Anglo-Americans"
🟥 Diminishes the deaths of U.S. and British troops and servicemembers, writing that the Soviets and China really won the war with, "59.8% socialists dead, 13.1% colonised peoples dead – only 1% Anglo-Americans dead"
🟥 Praises Mao Zedong's views on winning "protracted war" through the "masses of the people"

This isn’t abstract rhetoric. It connects directly to a funding, influence operation and cognitive warfare we mapped:

5 Rings. 2,000 Groups
🟥 223 transactions
🟥 $591M moved globally
🟥 $278M tied directly to Singham

I've included all of the transactions in a public spreadsheet with Part 1 of our series.

Here’s how it works:
🟥 LEVEL 1 — The Funnel
Tax-exempt money routed through shell-like entities + a donor-advised fund tied to Goldman Sachs → anonymity for wealthy donors. (Goldman Sachs confirmed to me that it terminated Singham's fund in 2024.)
🟥 LEVEL 2 — The Core
$278M flows into 6 nonprofits — several created rapidly, with leadership tied to Singham + his wife Jodie Evans
🟥 LEVEL 3 — Expansion
About $163M redistributed into 52 orgs + regional pipelines
🟥 LEVEL 4 — Global Distribution
$150M pushed outward across continents, including tens of millions into Sub-Saharan Africa
🟥 LEVEL 5 — Network Effect
67 core orgs linking to about 2,000 groups worldwide

This is not just about money.

It’s the infrastructure for malign influence, shaping protests, narratives and political pressure across countries.

Thank you to @DataRepublican for her support as I walked through a labyrinth of data. And for the many researchers following the money — and the words — in the House of Singham, I have tried to share the raw data with you publicly so you can see the receipts and analyze the data.

What is the best defense in cognitive warfare? What is the best innoculation? I believe it's knowledge, awareness and insight. And I hope that this investigation will help peel back the layers for you in a war over not just the hearts and minds of Americans but the world.

🚨 Who is behind the anti-ICE protests we’re seeing explode across the US?

For years, I’ve been working independently but today I had the honor of working with a remarkable team at @FoxNews Digital, where I just joined as senior editor of investigations, and bring you back a story like none other I’ve been able to publish.

I worked all day with video editor @LanumNikolas and reporter @M_Dorgan -- please follow them! -- and we established, step-by-step that a network of groups – self-described as socialist, Marxist-Leninist or communist – are coordinating the multi-city mobilization that we’re seeing from NYC to Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Burlington, Vt., Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, vilifying @DHSgov @Sec_Noem and ICE officers and sowing discord on the streets.

Read our story here and look at Nik’s photos, documenting the evidence: foxnews.com/us/socialist-g…

It’s reporting that you won’t see just about anywhere else, as most media outlets don't name the names of the groups behind the protests and don't identify the ideologies they embrace.

Watch Nik’s video ⬇️ because, and you’ll see the receipts and you’ll hear the honest remarks of a young protestor we interviewed.

"I personally identify as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, following the teachings of [former communist China leader] Mao Zedong," said demonstrator Tye Burrus, 18, who held a handmade sign depicting a hammer and sickle smashing a giant ice cube.

Burrus, a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation who self-identifies as a transgender woman, said losing faith in the Democrats and never having faith in the Republicans led to embracing communism. ​

"So now I am a communist," Burrus said.

Going into the streets of the New York City protest and studying protests nationwide this is who we found from the far-left network:

1⃣ Freedom Road Socialist Organization @FreedomRoadOrg – A self-described communist group immediately dispatched its members to the site of the killing in Minneapolis, and they are the ones behind clashes with ICE officers. The FBI has investigated the group – whose members wear distinct red swag marked with FRSO – as a "revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization," citing alleged ties to foreign Marxist-Leninist extremist groups, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC. Link to the internal FBI documents made public vault.fbi.gov/freedom-road-s…

2⃣ @PeoplesForumNYC -- Protest leaders arrived at AM, just before the 9 AM start for the protest in New York City, hauling two shopping carts full of bullhorns and pre-made black-and-white signs, printed with the message, "JUSTICE FOR RENEE NICOLE GOOD," and a photo of Good, with "PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION" across the bottom. It's a nonprofit activist hub for groups include @AnswerCoalition, and it's received funding from a tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It stage-managed most of the day's protest in NYC.

3⃣ Party for Socialism and Liberation @PSLNational -- Their organizers handed out the signs asking folks standing around: “Want a sign?” They organized protests across their national network, and they work closely with The People's Forum.

4⃣ Democratic Socialists of America @DemSocialists-- Its members joined the NYC march, wearing their distinct red beanies with DSA across the front, while its member NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeated the talking points of the socialist groups, saying the ICE officer “murdered” the woman. They are also organizing protests across their national network.

5⃣ Revolutionary Internationalist Youth from City University of New York -- The carried handmade signs and copies of their newspaper, "The Revolution," which said they promoted "the program of Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky."

6⃣ Spartacist League members from the U.S. chapter of the International Communist League – They distributed copies of "Workers Vanguard," which calls itself a "Marxist Newspaper"

The socialist-adjacent groups joining them in using this moment to organize protests are:
7⃣ @IndivisibleTeam – Closely aligned with the Democratic Party, it organized #HandsOff #NoKings marches all year and is now organizing protests nationwise.

8⃣ 50501 – It also organized #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk and is throwing its muscle behind anti-ICE protests.

9⃣ @RefuseFascism – They moved through the crowd in NYC, handing out slick, freshly printed pamphlets titled "The People’s Indictment of Donald Trump,"

Why does it matter to know these names?

Stu Smith @thestustustudio, a @ManhattanInst researcher who studies domestic extremism, explained, "I just wish the average American realized that there is a network of far-left agitators in America who are Marxist-Leninists, socialists, Maoists and even North Korean apologists.”

"As these ideologues say, the issue is never the issue,” he told us. “It’s all about the revolution. After this terrible situation in Minneapolis, they used social media and their networks to mobilize and get on the streets to hurt America.”

You’ve heard me say it before. Look at the evidence yourself. Read the signs shared by journalists like @MrAndyNgo. Follow the money with data scienctists like @DataRepublican. Study the breadcrumbs. I’m honored to work with this team to bring our reporting from the streets back to you. The NYC protest was stage-managed by The People’s Forum, a socialist hub funded by a tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, tied to the Chinese Communist Party. They arrived, hauling shopping carts with signs they handed folks: "JUSTICE FOR RENEE NICOLE GOOD."

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.

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.

Thank you for your support! 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.

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."

🚨 BREAKING @FoxNews: Guess who is planning to crash Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration? The Woke Army.

On July 30, a network of troublemakers protested Benjamin Netanyahu, one agitator, Zaid Mohammed Mahdawi, 26, spray painting "HAMAS IS COMIN" on a monument at Union Station and other protestors burning the American flag and fighting with Park Police.

I got a copy of the protest application from National Park Service, submitted for Jan. 20 to protest Donald Trump's inauguration and guess who submitted the application, planning to storm the capital again?

None other than the same @AnswerCoalition, a self-described Marxist, socialist organization, that had its permit pulled on July 30 for the damage to federal property.

Read my column here: foxnews.com/opinion/asra-n…

Please share with others, so people will be EDUCATED when the media most likely simply calls this a "grassroots" "organic" protest. It's not. It's an orchestrated protest by big-money groups that are part of the unholy "red-green" alliance of Leftists (red) and Islamists and their supporters (green).

Here is the Answer Coalition application: documentcloud.org/documents/2549…

Why did I write this column as part of my reporting from the @DPearlProject, a nonprofit journalism initiative? Because Danny Pearl was murdered because we didn't know the enemy that targeted him. You have to have names to do credible threat assessments. I am trying to give you a heads up when you watch the viral videos on Monday.

I have created a public spreadsheet of the 50 organizations that are taking credit so far for "endorsing" this march. You can study them here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

According to my analysis, 25 of the groups are self-described socialist organizations, five are Muslim, Arab or Palestinian, and the final 20 are "socialist adjacent." I have a list of the groups below.

I will share their propaganda about the protests in the 🧵 below.

Critics, like leaders of the @CLARITyCoaltion , a network of Muslims, ex-Muslims and allies who oppose extremism, say it’s long past time to deny the permits. What do you think?

At a minimum, the public must have its eyes wide open about who is behind these protests, don't you think? Has this been helpful to you?

Have a tip? Write to me at asra@asranomani.com.

🔥 WATCH. READ! BREAKING! 1/In a game of “Springfieldopoly,” George Ten, aka “King George,” built a $180M empire ferrying Haitian workers to Ohio, and now Feds and the State AG expand their trafficking probe into alleged identity theft and tax fraud. 1🧵 jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi… 2/Springfield’s city planner and chamber of commerce president were warned as far back as 2019 that King George was allegedly trafficking workers to Ohio. George invited me into his offices, where he takes “orders” on workers in a “Monopoly Room.” Read…jewishjournal.com/commentary/opi…

🚨 EXCLUSIVE. MUST WATCH. MUST READ. My newest dispatch @JewishJournal @DPearlProject will blow your mind. It did mine. And reporting it breaks my heart but I persevere because this story is every city’s story of corruption, greed and power.

I came to Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday, and in 72 hours, I figured it out: The story in Springfield is not about cats or dogs. It's about mules and an alleged human trafficking operation, by a man called "King George," shuttling Haitian workers to Ohio in unmarked white Chevy and Ford vans since 2019.

The FBI and Ohio Attorney General @DaveYostOH are investigating whistleblower complaints filed against George Ten, or
"King George," the man behind the surge of Haitian migrant workers to Ohio and purchase of 43 homes, mostly decrepit, where he had the workers pay him rent. All in the shadow of the new @johnlegend theater on S. Limestone Street.

Read my new column and this thread to see the story come to life:

It’s a story on the age-old themes of power, greed and corruption. Read 🧵 how the king lives compared to the migrants.

Thank you @LailaMickelwait @1in5advocacy @orlipeter for your intellect and advocacy for the disenfranchised.

FYI @JonHusted @jcarrsmyth @ChuckCallesto @mcuban @LizMacDonaldFOX @meiselasb @maddowjewishjournal.com/cammentary/opi… I reached Miguel Ten, dad of "King George" Ten, kingpin of the alleged trafficking. He gave First Diversity to his son to run and told me: "I raised my son as a Christian, and maybe he could do stuff that people don’t like, but that he would never do.”

🚨@FairfaxTimes. @FCPSNews suspended a @LangleyHS student who drew a swastika flag as part of anti-Israel protests AND get this: ALSO SUSPENDED an Asian American teen who allegedly blew the whistle on the anti-Jew hate. Jewish parents plan protest Friday.
fairfaxtimes.com/articles/fairf… EXCLUSIVE at @FairfaxTimes.

The controversy over swastikas at one of America’s top high schools, just down the road from CIA headquarters, brings the contentious global battle over Israel and Palestine from college campuses and the streets into America’s K-12 school system. The Fairfax County walkouts have been led by Muslim Students Association. which are virulently anti-Israel and many allege anti-Jew.

The Langley High School march included the chant: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which @ADL says is anti-Jew hate calling for the destruction of Jews in the state of Israel, along with the elimination of Israel.

Parents say this latest controversy reveals another failure by @fcpsnews @FCPSSupt Michelle Reid and her board of 12 members, including @AbrarOmeish, who refused to vote for a resolution expressing sympathy for the victims of the Hamas terror attack.

Local Jewish community members and their allies plan a rally tomorrow -- Friday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m. -- at Fairfax County Public Schools’ Gatehouse headquarters, which they have renamed “Hatehouse,” to protest the retaliation against the Asian American teen and the lack of school district action on anti-Jew hate.

Here is the photo of the @langleyhs teen who drew the swastika flag and his friend who gave it a thumbs up. The two boys were suspended for three days.

@StopAntisemites posted the photo on Saturday, leading to a witch hunt that ended with a third boy -- an Asian American teen and ally of Jewish kids at Langley -- ALSO GETTING SUSPENDED for three days.

Parents are outraged. It's part of a growing anti-Jew hate in the local schools.

At nearby Woodson High School, Jewish senior, Yakov Schwartz, 18, led a group of half a dozen students, carrying two small Israeli flags, to the football field, where about 250 students organized by the Muslim Students Association rallied against Israel. At one point, students tried to grab his flag, and a mass of anti-Israel students rushed the field to hover menacingly over the Jewish students.

Schwartz said the decision by the Langley administrators to punish the alleged whistleblower follows a pattern and practice of retaliation school district officials mete out against Jewish students and their allies when they raise issues about anti-semitism.

“Fairfax County Public Schools doesn’t truly care about making schools safe for every student,” he said.

“The student who drew the swastika flag not only threatened Jewish students but he also defaced the flag of his country. It’s a disgrace to our flag, our country, and its people,” said Schwartz, who now carries extra Jewish prayer caps, or kippahs, in his backpack to give to friends to wear as an expression of support for Jewish students, especially younger ones still finding their way at the school.

@JasonMiyaresVA @GlennYoungkin @WinsomeSears have made fighting anti-Jew hate a priority in his campaign. Will they be able to protect this Asian American teen, interrogated by school administrators and his phone searched for evidence to use against him -- all without his parents present, according to people familiar with the situation.

🧵 Remember this day. Nov. 4, 2023. 5:41 PM. The Woke Army is at the White House. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” they bellowed in the war chant that means only one thing: the annihilation of Jews in the state of Israel.

I stood with my back pinned against the black steel fence between the crowd on Pennsylvania Avenue and the White House, as the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas crowd chanted, “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!” Allah is great.

They shouted the shahada, the Muslim proclamation of faith, too. The call to prayer for the maghrib sunset prayer broke through the chants. And the crowd held signs from the Party for Socialism and Liberation. They shouted for the intifada. And trashed the White House lawn with water bottles and posters thrown over the fence. They painted the pillars to the security gates with red paint of “blood” hand prints.

There is a bloodlust for Israel and Jews. It made my eyes widen, my stomach sick and my heart pulse. It’s staged political theater, socialists bussed in from New York and Muslims ascending from mosques.

We Muslim reformers and ex-Muslims @DrZuhdiJasser @Ayaan @YasMohammedxx @Raheelraza @TheMuslimReform @CLARITyCoaltion tried a 1,000 times to warn the Democratic Party and liberals they had forged an unholy alliance with Islamists but they did it. Now the crowd has a bloodlust for “Genocide Joe” Biden. I’ll put the snapshots from the day here.

If you had any naïveté that Jews or Israels could negotiate with the revolutionaries in the red-green alliance of leftists and Islamists, I can tell you: no way. The Biden administration will have to surrender Israel and Jews to the Woke Army. That’s the only deal they will accept. There is no negotiation. There was not a single word for the Jews slaughtered by Hamas.

I know this after today: the Hamas terrorist murders did not result in shame; it stoked a blood lust among anti-Israel groups from the Socialists to the Islamists to destroy Israel. There is no middle ground with them.
I wear a uniform covering these anti-Jew, anti-Israel protests: my newspaper print jacket over my @IDF hoodie purchased in the West Bank at a Palestinian second-hand store, my book, #WokeArmy—and my war paint: black eyeliner to protect me from the evil eye.

The Woke Army? They went with red paint to ruin the pillars to the White House security gate to symbolize “blood” on the hands of Biden, signs and water bottles they trashed on the White House lawns, stickers they put on the metal fence “F*ck Fascists Nazi Netanyahu + Genocide Joe”— all for taxpayers to clean up.

🚨 🧵 @OCRegister, I argue: if @GavinNewsom signs a xenophobic anti-Hindu bill he “risks alienating millions of Indian Americans…and worse, endorsing an insidious slander,” based on a hoax at Cisco. Reply politely to urge him to veto the anti-Hindu bill. ocregister.com/2023/09/11/gov… 2/🚨 Breaking: Just right after publication of my @OCRegister op-ed, I received this comment about California Senate Bill 403 from a spokesperson for Gov. @GavinNewsom: “We don’t typically comment on pending legislation. As with all measures that reach the Governor's desk, the bill will be evaluated on its merits.”

🎯 My point exactly. SB403 is problematic—“on its merits”

🎯 @CalChamber @SVCCofficial should be worried about this bill “on its merits” because the bill makes it open season for anybody to sue others for alleged discrimination based on the very vague concept of “inherited social status.”

🎯 The @AAHOA Asian American Hotel Owners Association (with many Indian American members) has raised alarm bells. Democratic State @SenJoshBecker has asked serious questions about the overreach.

🎯 Here is a link to SB403:

🎯 The Governor’s office said the public can “submit comment re a bill by calling the office at
916-445-2841 or using the online webform (select “an active bill" in the dropdown menu after topics and then select the bill number in the next dropdown menu.) The comments are then routed to our legislative unit.”

Go to:

🎯 @GavinNewsomPres set the standard: and SB403 fails—based “on its merits.”
