President Donald Trump is going straight for the jugular of the Democrat Party’s money machine. In a move that will send shockwaves through the political establishment, Trump is signing a presidential memorandum that targets ActBlue, the Democrats’ preferred fundraising platform, for allegedly facilitating illegal foreign donations and straw donor schemes. The order, which directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch a full-scale investigation, comes in response to mounting evidence that ActBlue may have played host to fraudulent, foreign-backed, and prohibited contributions during the 2024 election cycle.
The memo cites a congressional investigation that uncovered a disturbing pattern of “significant fraud schemes” linked to ActBlue, including hundreds of donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid credit cards—an apparent effort to disguise the true origin of the money. It’s already illegal for foreign nationals to donate to U.S. elections, but the system appears to have been gamed by those with a vested interest in keeping Democrats flush with untraceable cash.
President Trump’s directive puts Bondi in charge of getting to the bottom of what he calls a “money laundering operation” disguised as grassroots fundraising. According to the White House, this is about more than one platform—it’s about protecting our elections from foreign interference and stopping left-wing slush funds from funneling dark money into key races. The memo makes it clear that online fundraising platforms have become the newest weapon of choice for globalist donors and foreign operatives who want to control American politics without ever stepping foot in the country.
Let’s be blunt: ActBlue has long been a black box of Democrat donations. It’s been accused for years of accepting unverified and suspicious contributions—conveniently benefitting every radical leftist running for office from the local level to the presidency. And now, we’ve reached the point where the fraud can’t be ignored any longer. If a Republican platform had half this level of smoke, the media would’ve called for scorched-earth hearings years ago.
Instead, the usual suspects in the press are either ignoring the story or already running interference. In fact, ActBlue’s own CEO, Regina Wallace Jones, tried to get out ahead of the news by firing off an internal email claiming that they “feel the weight of democracy resting on our shoulders.” That’s rich coming from a company that, according to investigators, has been used to mask illegal contributions under fake names and prepaid cards.
Her email—clearly anticipating the White House action—was filled with classic left-wing victimhood and the usual narrative-spinning about the “Far Right” and threats to democracy. But here’s the truth: if your platform has nothing to hide, you wouldn’t be scrambling your legal and communications teams days before the president signs a memo. You’d be cooperating, not deflecting. The fact that ActBlue is already in panic mode tells you everything you need to know.
Trump’s move isn’t just about reining in one corrupt donation platform. It’s about stopping a pattern that’s been growing for years—foreign cash propping up radical candidates, straw donors helping wealthy liberals skirt contribution limits, and a tech infrastructure designed to evade transparency and accountability. This is about restoring integrity to U.S. elections and dismantling the shadowy networks the Left relies on to fuel its power grabs.
And of course, Democrats will scream that this is all political. But if the shoe were on the other foot, and a conservative donation platform was caught red-handed taking in cash from foreign sources, the DOJ would already have FBI agents kicking down doors. What Trump is doing is long overdue—and patriotic. He’s putting America first by saying enough is enough when it comes to foreign meddling and corrupt fundraising practices.
ActBlue better lawyer up, because the days of laundering dark money through prepaid cards and hiding behind progressive buzzwords might be coming to an end. And when the dust settles, don’t be surprised if some of your favorite Democrat candidates have some uncomfortable explaining to do.
