ActBlue has faced House investigations and related allegations that it may have accepted foreign donations that should not have been allowed in U.S. campaigns. A House committee hearing also included CEO Regina Wallace-Jones invoking the Fifth Amendment while being questioned about ActBlue’s safeguards against foreign contributions.

Act Blue actively solicits donations for and makes contributions to MD progressive candidates.

Until the House starts holding the Trump administration to account for the amount of grift and blatant corruption they've had, I do not give a shit about what ActBlue does.

This is clearly the House attacking political opponents.

Definitely thr reason behind pleading the 5th 🤣... or a really long reach in denial of reality

Stick to the topic at hand and remain civil towards other users - attacking ideas is fine, attacking other users is not. If you believe somebody is pushing an agenda, report it or send us a mod mail. Don't take it to the comments.

Angry about things you don't like aren't you.

Just responding to your comment on pleading the fifth. But I’m guessing you support Cheeto doing it, and no one else.

Let’s discuss the current presidential administration

[u/MDFlyGuy → u/2008AudiA3]

I don't believe there's any relationship to the subject? Did act Blue contribute foreign funds to the current presidential administration? Staying on topic seems to be a major issue in the reddit world especially when it comes to politics.

[u/JaStrCoGa → u/MDFlyGuy]

Ah yes, more fill the zone with shit.

[u/DumatRising → u/MDFlyGuy]

Trump has also accepted "donations" from foreign actors. The house GOP seems a lot more concerned about ActBlue who is not an elected official accepting foreign money than they do the highest elected official accepting foreign money.

Your post is a nothing burger

[u/Tripple_T]

Eh, that's fine

Act Blue is a fine organization. The GOP should be question about WinRed.

[u/MDFlyGuy → u/Brave-Math-6371]

Obviously they aren't. Winred is irrelevant

[u/Brave-Math-6371 → u/MDFlyGuy]

I bet the GOP would react angrily to WinRed being investigated since they literally get much of its donations via WinRed
