Congress Investigates ActBlue, Then Seven Senior Executives Resign | JP
ActBlue just lost seven top execs, and nobody’s saying why.
Hmm, could it be because an investigation into ActBlue just started?
Legal officers, customer service heads, even a 16-year veteran: they’ve all left the building.
Now, employee unions want an investigation.
They want to know where the money’s really coming from.
Something’s up, and it’s not looking good for Democrats.
First it was USAID and now this.
Will they have enough money left over to keep their liberal business running smoothly as usual?

Washington Examiner reports:
WHAT’S GOING ON WITH ACTBLUE?
The Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue was created more than 20 years ago, in 2004, at a time when Democrats were up in arms over another Republican president, George W. Bush. “In the early 2000s, grassroots supporters — frustrated with the Bush administration — were an untapped superpower for campaigns,” ActBlue officials wrote to mark their anniversary last year. “Since then, the leading online fundraising platform for Democratic candidates and campaigns helped process over $13 billion raised from more than 250 million individual donations.”
ActBlue “transformed Democratic politics,” Politico wrote back in 2020. Its “wild success” has “reshaped the way candidates not only raise money but campaign for office.” The group’s achievements caught Republicans unaware; GOP leaders created their own online platform, WinRed, which has been valuable for the party but has not equaled ActBlue’s success.
The Left’s reaction to Vance memes underscores cultural divide
The headlines have caught up to Mike Rowe. Now what?
ActBlue was a big part of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s fundraising bonanza after incumbent Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. The group touted its fundraising for each night of the Democratic National Convention — $13 million on Day One, $16.5 million on Day Two, $23 million on Day Three, and $37 million on Day Four.So ActBlue is an important part of the Democratic machine. And now something appears to have gone terribly wrong.
Last week, the New York Times reported that at least seven senior ActBlue officials have resigned in recent days, with the suggestion that the resignations might be related to the actions of a whistleblower inside the organization. The New York Times cited an angry letter sent by two unions who said the departures are “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.”
Their site brags they’ve “raised billions since 2004”. I don’t think they’ll be bragging about that for much longer.
USAID: Was ActBlue just a money laundering operation to funnel USAID money to Democrats? Why did its small dollar donation evaporate as soon as USAID funding was cut off? Why did the top seven execs just resign? pic.twitter.com/Xn2tAuRlFN

Not to be confused with this Chinese company called ActBlue. Hmmm, what are the odds?
