AI companies are turning to a George Soros-funded organization to provide users with election information ahead of the pivotal midterm elections. 
Both OpenAI and Anthropic announced that they&#8217;re partnering with Democracy Works, a nonprofit that received money from Open Society, the liberal billionaire&#8217;s primary funding mechanism. The group also discloses funding from Pierre Omidyar, another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-leftist-billionaire-vowed-to-reimagine-capitalism-then-he-colonized-a-federal-agency">liberal billionaire</a> who has spent millions of dollars to fight President Donald Trump politically. 
Anthropic <a href="https://www.democracy.works/news/democracy-works-partnering-with-anthropic">said</a> the partnership is to help ensure that “generative AI users are safeguarded from mis-and-disinformation about voting and elections.” Open AI similarly <a href="https://openai.com/index/election-safeguards-2026/">said</a> it will “partner with Democracy Works to display reliable information about voting and registration processes, including voting locations and other election logistics, when people ask about those topics.”
The group&#8217;s funding from Soros is consistent with its partisan activity. In recent years, the Brooklyn-based Democracy Works has championed Left-leaning policies and positions, including support for expanded mail-in voting. Its CEO, Luis Lozada, openly supported the antisemitic college protests, describing fines issued to Ivy League universities for failing to control the pro-Palestinian encampments as a &#8220;challenge to democracy.&#8221;
“Universities are punished for allowing students to organize protests on campus, individuals are removed from public spaces solely for expressing their opinions,” Lozada wrote.
In 2025, the universities settled with the federal government after protests on their campuses were deemed antisemitic. Columbia and Harvard University reached <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-settles-two-anti-semitism-lawsuits-after-trump-sworn-in">settlements</a> with the Trump administration. Columbia’s fine was historically high — the federal government directed Columbia to pay <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-retreats-as-trump-scores-historic-220m-settlement">$200 million</a> to the government and $20 million to its Jewish employees “who were unlawfully targeted and harassed.&#8221; 
Democracy Works is a tool that labels itself as the “connective tissue” that helps “millions of voters navigate a complex system.” One of its products, TurboVote, aids in voter registration, sends election reminders, and requests mail-in ballots. In a section describing the legislative process to potential voters, it puts a peculiar focus on the legislative branch’s impeachment duties, one of the obvious duties that will be used by Democrats to get out the vote in the midterm elections. 
&#8220;Senators serve six-year terms and are responsible for crafting federal legislation, approving presidential nominations, and conducting impeachment trials,&#8221; the platform says, for example, in its description of what a U.S. senator does.

Anthropic and OpenAI could pull from this information and other Democracy Works resources to inform their users when they ask about voting. Anthropic, which runs Claude, told ABC News that a visual banner with information from Democracy Works will be shown to users who ask questions about the election. OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT will do similarly. Both Google and Meta told the outlet they would prioritize pulling information on elections only from official sources.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic have been repeatedly accused of leaning Left in political outputs. Trump&#8217;s former AI czar David Sacks has said that Anthropic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/are-biden-era-ai-ties-behind-pentagon-showdown-in-trumps-war-department">became</a> a landing spot for staffers in the previous administration.
“Guess where those Biden AI staffers went to work as soon as the admin was over,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Anthropic.”
Pentagon officials presented concerns about using Anthropic&#8217;s products for military technology, arguing the company could turn off the technology if the Pentagon went against guidelines.
“If they’re willing to impose red lines that limit lawful military use, what’s to stop them from enforcing a shutdown if they disagree with how we’re applying it,&#8221; an official said in March during a dispute between Anthropic and the Pentagon over the company&#8217;s military work.
In 2024, Sacks <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EFk40AbO94&amp;t=6161s">admitted</a> that OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT is &#8220;programmed to be woke.&#8221; Billionaire Elon Musk, who also has his own AI company, <a href="https://www.wired.com/llm-political-bias/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">attributed</a> the politics being pushed by AI models to the people building them.
“A lot of the AIs that are being trained in the San Francisco Bay Area, they take on the philosophy of people around them,&#8221; Musk said. His AI company is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.

Gov. Kathy Hochul slammed the brakes on New York&#8217;s data center boom Tuesday, handing China a gift-wrapped win in the global tech arms race.
A <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-york-impose-countrys-first-statewide-moratorium-data-centers-rcna587429">report</a> stated she would sign an executive order that freezes state permitting for massive AI server farms. It halts new hyperscale data center approvals and orders state regulators to establish rules on energy use, water consumption, and other environmental impacts before any more projects move forward. Hochul framed it as consumer protection, saying she couldn&#8217;t sit by while server farms threaten to increase utility bills and drain New York&#8217;s water supply.
But tech industry backers say the real story is who&#8217;s actually driving the anti-data-center movement — and it isn&#8217;t people worried about their electric bills.
House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie and fellow Republicans recently fired off a <a href="https://d1dth6e84htgma.cloudfront.net/2026_06_04_Letter_to_PCAST_and_FBI_on_Foreign_Influence_AI_Data_Centers_99f6aa6cda.pdf">letter</a> to the FBI and White House science advisers demanding answers on what they call a coordinated foreign influence campaign involving China.
“Investigations by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) and Power the Future (PTF) have exposed new information regarding how foreign influence campaigns — many originating from China — have engaged in a coordinated effort to slow U.S. growth in AI development and the building of infrastructure supporting AI data centers,”  they wrote. “Equally sinister, PTF’s report details how billionaire donors filter money through a complex financial web to fund America’s non-profit ecosystem — often with strong political or ideological leanings — to skew public opinion against the buildout of AI data center infrastructure.”
Meanwhile, OpenAI reported catching Chinese-linked bot networks using ChatGPT to gin up fake outrage over electricity prices.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5931292-data-centers-influence-campaigns-china-republicans/">didn&#8217;t mince words</a>, declaring, “Any place that’s trying to build data centers is getting bombarded with foreign-directed propaganda to try to block these from being built.” Investor Kevin O&#8217;Leary, backing a $100 billion Utah project, said his team traced suspicious social media surges to what he flatly called &#8220;the CCP at work.&#8221;
A Facebook group with 170,000 members, &#8220;Say NO to Data Centers,&#8221; has also become the online engine of the resistance. Its digital mapping guru, George Duarte, who built a nationwide tracker of data center projects, moonlights as a strategist at a D.C. consulting shop whose client roster reads like the Democratic Party&#8217;s who&#8217;s who — the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, and the Democratic Governors Association, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-soros-linked-dem-operatives-weaponize-the-anti-data-center-push">reported.</a>
Money trails lead straight back to George Soros. Records show Soros’ Open Society Foundations funneled more than $7.6 million to Indivisible, the activist network that has organized data center protests from Texas to California. Soros also poured $23.7 million into the Working Families Party — the same outfit now recruiting data center opponents to run for office in swing states.
Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss chipped in too, reportedly routing another $1 million to Indivisible last year through his Berger Action Fund, according to tax filings. A spokesperson for the Wyss foundation stated, “The Wyss Foundation does not provide funding to block or oppose data centers. These reports are false, misleading, and an attempt by special interests to manipulate the public into accepting data centers.”
One watchdog group tallied more than $39 million in foreign money flowing to a dozen organizations fighting data centers nationwide.
Hochul&#8217;s Republican rival, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, wants local governments — not Albany — deciding whether to strike deals with tech firms. He argues the moratorium sacrifices jobs and cedes American ground to Beijing in the AI race.
For now, New York joins a handful of states flirting with similar bans — even as evidence mounts that the &#8220;grassroots&#8221; revolt against America&#8217;s AI buildout has some very well-funded and very foreign fingerprints on it.

A missing Virginia teenager was last seen with a 39-year-old man who once avoided serious prison time thanks to a sweetheart plea deal despite admitting to sexually abusing an 11-year-old boy.
The Fredericksburg Police Department said Thursday that 17-year-old Autumn Van Zandt was last seen on May 19 traveling with career criminal Ronnie Reel and that they were potentially “attempting to travel out of state.” Reel faced previous criminal charges in July 2021 for child sex assault, but those charges were <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/virginia-man-who-confessed-to-sexually-abusing-11-year-old-offered-plea-deal-in-fairfax-co">downgraded</a> after the judge said that leftist Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano’s office failed to turn in evidence on time. 
Instead of facing life in prison for sodomy and aggravated sexual battery, Reel took a plea deal in September 2022 that released him for time served on a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. That plea deal emerged after a judge said that Descano’s office missed a deadline to turn over evidence to Reel&#8217;s legal team and could not include two recorded confessions as part of their case, Fox5 <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/virginia-man-who-confessed-to-sexually-abusing-11-year-old-offered-plea-deal-in-fairfax-co">reported</a> at the time. 
&#8220;He was confessing every little detail that he did, and it was making me sick to my stomach,&#8221; Amber, the victim&#8217;s mother, said of the recording of her phone call with Reel. &#8220;It was horrible. He literally confessed to me why he did it.&#8221;
Descano’s office disputed the judge’s ruling that they failed to properly provide evidence for the case in a timely manner, pinning the blame on the judge. His office told The Daily Wire that the judge &#8220;made a novel ruling that discovery was turned over too early yet denied the prosecutor&#8217;s motion to continue. We prosecuted the defendant based on the remaining evidence available.&#8221;
&#8220;We acted immediately in response to this novel ruling, and notified all prosecutors that discovery must now be submitted again in Circuit Court  — even if it was already conveyed in a lower court … according to the law, the remedy for such a dispute is a routine continuance — which was sought by our prosecutor and denied,&#8221; Descano&#8217;s office said at the time. 
 The victim’s family disagreed. 
“A man would be sitting in jail right now if they just didn’t assume. Because that’s what they did. They assumed it would be OK not to send in the paperwork again,” Amber said.  
Descano, whose campaigns have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-county-d-a-handing-out-get-out-of-jail-free-cards">funded</a> by George Soros groups, has long faced scrutiny over his handling of criminal cases. In recent months, his office has released multiple suspects who went on to be charged with murder. 
His office released 32-year-old illegal immigrant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/receipts-show-progressive-prosecutor-warned-about-illegal-alien-before-mom-was-murdered">Abdul Jalloh</a> before he went on to be later charged with murdering 41-year-old mother Stephanie Minter. In a similar case, alleged MS-13 gang member Marvin Morales-Ortez was arrested for murder one day after being released by Descano’s office.
Fredericksburg police are asking for anyone with information to send in tips. Van Zandt is described as standing 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a black top and jean shorts with a red purse and has a heart-shaped tattoo on the side of her hip.

Vanished Teen Last Seen With Sexual Predator Released After Leftist DA Screw-Up

Teen Girl Last Seen With Career Criminal Who Dodged Child Sex Charge

Crime

Virginia

In March, a criminal illegal alien stabbed Stephanie Minter to death at a bus stop. Last week, her mother gave a strong and <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/fairfax-county-virginia-dangerous-consequences-sanctuary-policies">courageous testimony</a> on Capitol Hill, speaking about her daughter’s fierce faith in God, vibrant smile, and love for family. Sitting to her left was the man whose pro-criminal policies led to Stephanie’s death: Soros-backed Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano.
Stephanie’s alleged murderer, Abdul Jalloh, was a known, repeat, violent offender. In fact, the Fairfax County Police Department had warned Descano’s office about this man multiple times. Over the years, Jalloh had been charged with numerous crimes, including malicious wounding, aggravated assault, and rape. Yet, Descano’s office had dropped <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fairfax-county-prosecutor-facing-congressional-scrutiny-claims-he-doesnt-give-illegal-immigrants-preferential-treatment/">more than half</a> of Jalloh’s criminal charges, ignored warnings from police, and let him loose in the community.
This woke, radical ignorance caused Stephanie’s death earlier this year. Her horrific murder was senseless, tragic, and entirely preventable. Had Fairfax County government officials prioritized the safety of innocent Americans over criminals and illegal aliens, Stephanie may still be alive today.
Sadly, Stephanie is only the latest victim of radical policies enforced by pro-criminal prosecutors. Descano’s deliberate moves to decarcerate and under-prosecute criminals are part of a nationwide, left-wing effort to remake America’s criminal justice system by installing pro-criminal, anti-cop prosecutors bankrolled by billionaire George Soros.
Over the last decade, the Soros strategy has elected more than a hundred radical prosecutors across America. For Soros and his cronies, buying law enforcement officials who refuse to enforce the law is a cost-effective strategy. After all, it’s a whole lot cheaper to back local prosecutorial races than multi-billion-dollar presidential campaigns or multi-million-dollar gubernatorial elections.
I have witnessed Soros and his entities try to infiltrate Arkansas, and I’ve worked hard to keep them out. If a Soros prosecutor took office in my state, it would have jeopardized the safety of Arkansas communities and put Arkansans in harm’s way.
Every Soros-backed victory is a win for criminals and a blow to their victims. From New York to Los Angeles and everywhere in between, Soros prosecutors have gone above and beyond to coddle violent, career criminals, cut sweetheart plea deals, and circumvent the law on the books. By 2024, at least <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/democratic-socialists-of-america-george-soros-local-elections">30 percent</a> of Americans lived in a Soros-backed prosecutor’s jurisdiction. And these communities have fared about as you would expect.
In Chicago, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx was Soros’s first big win. She refused to prosecute thefts valued at less than one thousand dollars, oversaw a surge in violent crime, and had more than five thousand homicides occur on her watch. Also consider Baltimore, where State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby — who called the criminal-justice system racist, denounced the police, and refused to prosecute drug traffickers — watched as murders jumped past 300 during her first year in office, and every year after that. Two years after voters turned her out, she was convicted of perjury and filing a false mortgage application.
And then of course, there was District Attorney Rachael Rollins in Boston, who went as far as to publish a list of 15 crimes she wouldn’t prosecute, including drug trafficking, resisting arrest, and malicious destruction of property. When Joe Biden elevated her to U.S. Attorney, every single Democrat in the Senate voted to confirm her, including Kamala Harris, who cast the tie-breaking vote. She resigned from office barely a year later, after the Department of Justice found her guilty of leaking sensitive information, meddling in local politics, and violating laws and ethics regulations. It makes sense why Rollins went to such lengths to protect criminals: she was one.
How many more American lives must be sacrificed to woke justice? How many more mothers like Stephanie Minter’s must grieve the loss of their sons and daughters?
It’s time to defeat every single Soros prosecutor. While some have already been held accountable by voters, every last one of them — including Descano — must be recalled, removed, and replaced with prosecutors who will uphold the rule of law and keep Americans safe.

Eighty days. That is how long Fairfax’s chief prosecutor took to speak with the mother of Stephanie Minter, the 41-year-old woman murdered at a bus stop in late February by a repeat violent offender and illegal alien.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano waited until the cameras were rolling at a House Judiciary hearing investigating the role his policies and practices may have played in Stephanie’s death. He could have called. He didn’t. He could have visited. He didn’t. Descano even avoided the opportunity to meet Cheryl and Stephanie’s brother, Ashton, in private immediately before the hearing. Instead of waiting in the anteroom reserved for him adjacent to Cheryl’s, Descano hid in the Democratic committee offices. When he did emerge minutes before the hearing, he <a href="https://x.com/NickMinock/status/2054930429031964843">walked right behind</a> Cheryl. He didn’t stop. He averted his eyes, then tapped former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares on the back and shook his hand.
I know because I was there, seated next to Cheryl Minter at the witness table.
He then delivered his opening statement full of crocodile tears but no mea culpa for having allowed Stephanie’s killer, Abdul Jalloh, to go free time after time. Under Descano’s watch, Jalloh had been arrested more than 30 times, faced more than 40 charges, including five separate malicious-wounding charges (Virginia’s equivalent of attempted murder) from 2023 to 2025.
In November 2025, police <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/fairfax-police-warned-prosecutors-about-repeat-offender-months-before-deadly-bus-stop-stabbing">warned</a> Descano’s top deputy that Jalloh would “maliciously wound (or worse)” someone again if prosecutors let him go free. They did. He killed Stephanie three months later.
The House Judiciary committee’s hearing last week focused largely on the Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney’s “immigration consequences” policy, which directs line prosecutors to “consider immigration consequences where possible and where doing so accords with justice [and] … the detrimental impact that deportation/removal has on the families and communities those removed or deported leave behind.”
That policy clearly suggests that illegal immigrants or any deportable alien earns preferential treatment under Descano’s “<a href="https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/commonwealthattorney/plea-bargaining-charging-decisions-and-sentencing-policy">Plea Bargaining, Charging Decisions, and Sentencing Policy</a>” guidelines promulgated in December 2020, the year he took office.
But under questioning from GOP committee members, Descano repeatedly disputed that, pointing (albeit inarticulately) to the last lines of his policy: “[t]he resolution will be different in a way that avoids or lessens collateral immigration consequences, but will not be better than a resolution offered to a defendant that does not face such collateral issues.”
Different but the same. Got it.
In a heated exchange, House Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan interrogated Descano about <a href="https://www.acluva.org/ray-morrogh-and-steve-descanos-responses-aclu-vas-questionnaire-criminal-justice-reform/">prior pledges</a> to discriminate in favor of criminal alien defendants. Notably, Jordan waived a printout of Descano’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20260310203213/https:/stevedescano.com/community">campaign website </a>(which he deleted before the hearing) that declared “Steve’s office will take immigration consequences into account when making charging and plea decisions … If two people commit the same crime, but only one’s punishment includes deportation, that’s a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County.”
The same but different. Again.
Here, Descano withered under Jordan’s questioning, trying to distinguish his campaign promises from his official policies, saying he couldn’t “believe people would be so obtuse that they couldn’t realize what the difference was between a campaign statement and an actual office policy.”
For Fairfax’s chief prosecutor, it went downhill from there. A few of the committee’s Democrats ceded their time to Descano to better explain himself, instead preferring to lean in on anti-ICE rhetoric and their witnesses’ generic pro-illegal immigration arguments.
One theme that emerged as a counternarrative was that Fairfax was the “safest county of its size in the United States.”
Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal also asked Descano if the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA) rated Fairfax County “among the safest jurisdictions of its size.” Descano gleefully concurred. Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jerrold Nadler repeated the claim.
But they all omitted the alarming trend that the same <a href="https://majorcitieschiefs.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/MCCA-Violent-Crime-Report-2026-and-2025-First-Quarter.pdf">data</a> actually shows violent crime has skyrocketed since Steve Descano became Fairfax’s chief prosecutor and hasn’t fallen even as it has plummeted elsewhere.
Overall, Fairfax County&#8217;s violent crime — murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault — was up 92% in 2025 compared with 2019. Meanwhile, “<a href="https://www.fcpod.org/pages/crime-data">crimes against persons</a>,” which includes all violent crimes, sex offenses, and simple assaults, rose 27% according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
So, Fairfax is less safe since Descano became its prosecutor. Meanwhile, in nearby Montgomery County, Maryland, which is almost exactly the same size as Fairfax but has a tough-on-crime prosecutor in Democrat John McCarthy, the <a href="https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/montgomery-county-police-department/public-safety-data/annual-crime-safety-reports">crime rate </a>has fallen below that of <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/why-is-montgomery-countys-violent-crime-rate-twice-as-high-as-fairfax-countys">famously safe</a> <a href="https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/03bcc658f4f44662ab70308157c31d0e">Fairfax County</a> for both property and person crimes.
Similarly sized Suffolk County, New York (which does cooperate with ICE) has also seen crime drop during the period.
But those abstract figures distract from the deeply personal human tragedy that Descano’s policies have wrought. By shielding criminal aliens from “immigration consequences,” hundreds, if not thousands, of violent and sex crimes could have been prevented, including over a dozen murders.
In addition to extending extreme leniency to Abdul Jalloh, Descano freed Marvin Morales-Ortez, who was previously arrested for murder years before, and released him after dropping charges for malicious wounding and brandishing a firearm in December 2025. Within 24 hours, Ortez allegedly killed a man in Reston. Or Maldin Anibal Guzman, who, despite being arrested nine times, including for at least two prior attempted murders, was freed to kill a man behind a convenience store in 2024. Just last month, Guzman received only five years for that killing.
In all three cases (Jalloh, Ortez, and Guzman), Descano offered the same excuse: witness noncooperation or unavailability. It is never Mr. Descano’s fault, you see. Except in the Jalloh cases, he was caught red-handed lying to the media. In at least two of Jalloh’s prior attempted murders, Fairfax prosecutors never even bothered to <a href="https://wjla.com/newsletter-daily/descano-says-victims-wouldnt-aid-abdul-jalloh-prosecution-heres-what-we-found-illegal-immigrant-fairfax-county-commonwealths-attorney-steve-descano-testimony">subpoena</a> the witnesses.
And Descano’s pattern of lying was on full display at the hearing when he attempted to rebut multiple members who questioned him about the illegal alien pedophile Hyrum Baquedano Rodriguez’s case (my detailed testimony is <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/2026-05/Kennedy-Testimony.pdf">here</a>).
Descano tried to plea out the would-be kidnapper and rapist of a four-year-old to a maximum of two years, who potentially faced life in prison, saying he “did not have strong evidence.” Two separate judges rejected the plea as too lenient. In a fit, Descano dropped the charges altogether, and Baquedano-Rodriguez, who had an extensive history of child sex crimes, would have walked free if the girl’s grandmother had not herself called ICE to pick him up. He has since been deported — no thanks to Mr. Descano’s policy of thwarting “immigration consequences.”
As damning as the hearing was for Mr. Descano, his implied defense that he engages in unlawful discrimination based on immigration status is persuasive, if unsettling: Fairfax’s chief prosecutor is not soft on dangerous criminal aliens — he is equally lenient toward violent repeat offenders of all backgrounds.
The Department of Justice has launched an investigation to find out the truth. Whatever DOJ finds, one thing is already clear: Fairfax County victims are being re-victimized by the man entrusted with protecting them.

Eight million people just took to the streets to stop a king who does not exist.
They say they are protesting tyranny. But if you look at who&#8217;s actually holding the megaphone — and more importantly, who&#8217;s signing the checks — this grassroots movement starts looking a lot less grassroots and a lot more like a sophisticated and coordinated operation by Hollywood elites and radical activists having public meltdowns demanding labor militancy. 
The real story isn&#8217;t the useful idiots on the streets. It&#8217;s the apparent $3 billion web of funding tied to a tech tycoon living in Shanghai and a wedding-turned-mysterious summit in Jamaica. 
Who are these shadowy figures funding the chaos? Why are America&#8217;s enemies cheering from the sidelines?
These people are not turning out because they suddenly oppose centralized government. You think Democrats are anti-centralized government? Against a bigger federal government run by the executive branch?
No way.

Presidents Obama and Biden radically expanded the power of the executive branch. Funny, there were no protests then.
They&#8217;re also not turning out in the streets because they oppose an intervention such as what&#8217;s going on in Iran or because they oppose tyrants. They were fine with Barack Obama&#8217;s interventions in Libya, Syria, and in the drone wars. They were totally fine with Joe Biden&#8217;s funding of the war in Ukraine.
They&#8217;re not anti-tyranny, the “No Kings” people; they&#8217;re perfectly pro-tyranny in foreign countries, and they tolerate their friends’ tyranny at home.
We all know the real reason: A lot of people hate President Trump, and they hate the American system.
How do they get this many people organized?
A lot of money. Where exactly is that money coming from?
Fox News <a href="https://www.wfmd.com/2026/03/28/500-groups-with-3b-in-revenues-are-behind-the-nokings-protests-and-communist-call-for-revolution/#:~:text=A%20network%20of%20about%20500,a%20Fox%20Digital%20News%20investigation.">reported</a>:
<blockquote>A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide “No Kings” protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a “revolution,” according to a Fox Digital News investigation. 
According to a copy of the permit for the “flagship” march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.
But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China.
Over nearly a decade, Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary socialist politics and frequently collaborate in protest campaigns, including the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition and CodePink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham. These groups work closely with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.</blockquote>
So there’s a communist living in China who is funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into various protest groups.

<blockquote>As far-left American activists flood Cuba to support its flailing communist regime, U.S. officials have opened a sprawling investigation into an anti-America, pro-China nonprofit network forged during a wedding celebration in late February 2017, off Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s northern coast.
There, beneath a canopy of palm trees, an elite cadre of activists, intellectuals, celebrities, political organizers and comrades in a global Marxist-Leninist-Maoist movement assembled to celebrate the “Revolutionary Love” of two luminaries, both 62 at the time: Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai, and Jodie Evans, a red-haired veteran activist and co-founder of CodePink Women for Peace.
Like the opening scene of “The Godfather,” where powerful families consolidate power, the wedding celebration was about much more than the union of two people.
Over four days of dancing, lectures and late-night conversations in venues from the Flavor Beach Bar to Sharkey’s Seafood, celebrating the bond of “Roy and Jodie,” alliances were formed that would shape protests, unrest and political agitation over the next decade, from the fiery 2020 scenes in Minneapolis to demonstrations today supporting the regimes in Cuba and Iran.</blockquote>
Apparently, Singham has pushed some $278 million into organizations that sow discord in the United States.
None of these protests are innocent. They are not happening by accident. It takes an awful lot of money to make this magic happen.
Singham said in 2025: “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. &#8230; China has a very important role, and we in this forum have a very important role, that to envision a new multi-polarity order requires that, quite frankly, this deconstruction or restoration, a history of what really happened.”
He said there should be a multipolar world order with China and Russia as leading forces and that we need to rewrite the history of World War II in order to achieve this new world order.
Outside forces are trying to destroy America — and President Trump.
And it’s our job to make sure that does not happen.

In an incendiary address during a rally on Tuesday, far-left Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner escalated his rhetoric against federal immigration enforcement, comparing ICE agents to &#8220;wannabe Nazis.&#8221;
Krasner issued a stark warning to federal officers, promising that a coalition of state prosecutors would work to identify and prosecute them for actions he deemed lawless.
&#8220;If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities; we will find you; we will achieve justice &#8230;  under the Constitution and the laws of the United States,&#8221; Krasner declared. He emphasized that being a federal officer does not grant immunity from homicide charges and vowed that accountability would continue even after the current administration leaves office. Krasner specifically noted that he is collaborating with other progressive prosecutors, such as Minneapolis’s Mary Moriarty, to ensure federal agents face state-level consequences for their actions.
In November 2022, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted 107-85 to impeach Krasner, alleging &#8220;purposeful ineffectiveness&#8221; and mismanagement of his office that compromised public safety. Republican leaders argued that Krasner’s progressive reforms — including the elimination of cash bail for certain offenses and reduced prosecutions — created an environment of fear in Philadelphia.
Upon taking office in 2018, Krasner fired dozens of veteran prosecutors, replacing them with less experienced staff. Under his tenure, Philadelphia saw a dramatic surge in violence, with homicides peaking at a record 562 in 2021. While violent crime dropped to a 20-year low in 2024, the intermediate spike led to significant business closures, including multiple Wawa and Starbucks locations, as retailers cited safety concerns and retail theft.
Despite the impeachment efforts, Krasner remains a prominent figure in the &#8220;national populist&#8221; legal movement. He was elected with significant financial backing from billionaire George Soros, who has defended progressive DAs against claims that their policies drive crime spikes. Krasner has dismissed the impeachment efforts as an &#8220;authoritarian&#8221; attempt to disenfranchise &#8220;Black, brown, and broke&#8221; voters, framing the legislative push as a politically motivated attack on his mandate.

A key adviser in the Treasury Department is drawing up plans that would overhaul the IRS criminal-investigative division and allow the Trump administration to more easily target leftist groups, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-irs-investigations-left-leaning-groups-democratic-donors-612a095e?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reported</a> on Wednesday.
A senior IRS official involved in making the plans told the WSJ that the administration has already compiled a list of targets, including Democratic donors, that the IRS would investigate. Gary Shapley, who advises Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has told people that he will replace career bureaucrat Guy Ficco, the chief of the service’s investigative unit, according to the WSJ.
The move would help the administration control the reins of the IRS criminal investigation division and install people who align with Trump’s vision. The plans would also open the doors for IRS investigators to go after leftist groups and target Democratic mega-donors, including George Soros, according to a senior IRS official and another source, whom the WSJ reported was “briefed on the list.”
President Donald Trump has already tasked Bessent, who is also serving as the acting IRS commissioner, with probing left-wing groups that the administration believes could be financing violent demonstrations against the Trump administration in cities across the United States. Trump has also called for Soros and his son, Alex, to be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) “because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America.”
“We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115100792784831675">wrote</a> on Truth Social on August 27. “Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!”
Bessent said on Wednesday that his department is prioritizing the effort to target “violent domestic networks,” comparing the plan to the United States going after terrorist networks after 9/11. The IRS is a bureau of the Treasury Department.

During an appearance on a special White House edition of “The Charlie Kirk Show” on the same day that Kirk was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Bessent highlighted the rise of anti-Israel demonstrations in the United States following Hamas’ attack on the Jewish state two years ago.
“Since the terrible day two years ago, the anti-Semitism and the bias that came out after October 7, 2023, many of these organizations have been financed by non-profits, and it&#8217;s going to stop. And we are going to, as they always say, follow the money … this takes a lot of money and a lot of organization,” he said.
Bessent added that the assassination of Charlie Kirk kick-started the Treasury Department’s effort to “compile lists” of networks that are responsible for funding any leftist violence.
“Charlie’s death has set this off, and we are determined, not only to honor him, but to keep our country safe and to ensure freedom of speech on both sides,” the Treasury Secretary said.

Shapley did not address the proposed overhaul of the IRS criminal investigation division when asked by the WSJ, simply stating, “I’m grateful to continue in my role in reforming the IRS.”
A Treasury Department spokesman told the WSJ that the IRS “team’s focus remains collections, privacy, and customer service.”
The Daily Wire reached out to the White House, requesting comment on the WSJ report.

A Democrat prosecutor in D.C.&#8217;s most populous suburb allowed illegal immigrants to go unpunished for vicious crimes because a felony conviction might lead to their deportation, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares alleged in an investigation Friday.
Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano requires his staff to examine &#8220;immigration consequences&#8221; when considering cases, then often pleads them down to more minor crimes. That&#8217;s a leniency not always afforded to Americans, and it amounts to illegal discrimination, Miyares said in a report that encourages the federal Department of Justice to take action.
Descano &#8220;engaged in a pattern and practice of denying U.S. citizens the same rights, privileges and immunities as illegal aliens in charging decisions and plea agreements. That is a violation, not just of due process, [but of] a 1996 law signed by Bill Clinton called the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which prohibits states from providing benefits to illegal aliens that are denied to citizens,&#8221; Miyares said on Friday outside the Fairfax County Courthouse, where he was flanked by crime victims who said they were failed by Descano.
&#8220;By saying to prosecutors, &#8216;you are to consider an individual&#8217;s immigration status,&#8217; and giving sweetheart plea deals they would not give to a normal U.S. citizen, you&#8217;re in violation of that law and the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause,&#8221; he said.
In one case, Wilmer Ramos-Giron had already been deported from the U.S. twice, then came back and was convicted of possession of a firearm in 2020. This year, he choked his ex-wife and threatened her with a knife and was charged with felony abduction and strangulation. Descano downgraded it to a misdemeanor, which would be less likely to trigger another deportation. He told the judge the lenient plea deal was because it was what &#8220;the victim wanted.&#8221; The victim later told the media that was not true at all.
Hyrum Baquedano Rodriguez, an illegal alien from Honduras with a record of repeated sex crimes against minors, broke into a victim&#8217;s home and tried to abduct a sleeping four-year-old. He was charged with abduction with intent to defile, carrying life in prison. Descano attempted to downgrade his charges and cap his sentence at only two years in prison. After two judges refused to accept such a plea agreement, Descano&#8217;s office dropped the charges, Miyares said. Federal immigration authorities have since detained Rodriguez for deportation.

The impact of Descano&#8217;s charging decisions became clear when federal immigration officers recently arrested a man in D.C. Some Democrats expressed outrage, saying he should not have been a priority because he had not been convicted of any crime. It turned out that David Perez-Teofani, a repeat illegal immigrant with a final order of removal, had been arrested for aggravated sexual battery of a child and indecent liberties with a child; the reason he had no conviction is because Descano simply dropped the charges.
Miyares found that Descano&#8217;s leniency toward illegal immigrants also included:
<ul class="ul-list" data-mark="*">
<li class="md-list-item">Declining to prosecute illegal alien Maldin Anibal Guzman for aggravated malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding, malicious wounding by mob, and obstruction of justice, instead allowing him to plead guilty to simple assault. Anibal Guzman later allegedly committed murder.</li>
<li class="md-list-item">Reducing charges for illegal alien Ander Josue Cortez Mendez, who was charged with Carnal Knowledge of a 13- 14-year-old, instead classifying it as &#8220;consensual sex w/ child 15y+&#8221; and giving him no jail time.</li>
<li class="md-list-item">Dismissing charges of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony against illegal alien Yohandi Mosquera Rosas. Rosas later committed felony hit-and-run and is currently a fugitive.</li>
<li class="md-list-item">Declining to prosecute Marvin Mateo-Alberto&#8217;s charges of incest and aggravated sexual battery by a parent in 2025. Mateo-Alberto is still in the country illegally despite an immigration judge ordering him deported in 2006.</li>
</ul>
Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ&#8217;s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, declined to comment on whether it could be a violation of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits treating people differently based on certain characteristics including national origin.

Voisin/The Washington Post)</div>
Descano narrowly won a primary election in 2019 after a massive infusion of cash from George Soros. The county&#8217;s mainstream Democrat prosecutor quit the party as a result, warning that it is improper and impermissible for &#8220;progressive&#8221; prosecutors to simply refuse to enforce laws they disagree with. Miyares said that&#8217;s exactly what Descano has done, through policies prohibiting enforcement of mandatory minimum sentences, ignoring the requirement for cash bail for repeat felons, and essentially changing the dollar limit for grand larceny by refusing to prosecute thefts below $1,500. &#8220;He therefore essentially legalized theft for any item worth $1,500 or less,&#8221; Miyares said.
&#8220;While Descano is entitled to his opinions about cash bail, he is not entitled to ignore the General Assembly’s lawfully enacted command that no repeat felon may be released without a secure bond,&#8221; Miyares wrote in his report. He said that the Supreme Court of Virginia has held that it is an &#8220;obvious&#8221; violation of the Virginia Constitution and the so-called Suspension Clause &#8220;when an executive sets aside a generally applicable rule of law based solely upon his disagreement with it.&#8221;
Yet Miyares told The Daily Wire that when the person in charge of enforcing the law is also the one violating it, there are few mechanisms for recourse in Virginia, where the attorney general&#8217;s powers are limited. He has asked the legislature to give his office the power to take over criminal cases that local prosecutors refuse to pursue, but &#8220;every time we have sought expansive authority, it has tragically died on a party line vote,&#8221; he said.
With an election for Virginia&#8217;s top offices taking place in a month, Democrats&#8217; handling of criminal justice could be a liability, particularly after Descano refused to prosecute a registered sex offender named Dick Cox who exposed himself in the girls locker room at a gym. The gym was next to a playground, a violation of his sex offender terms, but Descano refused to prosecute after Cox claimed he was in the women&#8217;s locker room because he is transgender and was being discriminated against.
Crime victims described the pain of being victimized once by a criminal, and then again by a prosecutor&#8217;s office that seemed uninterested in punishing offenders. One crime victim is Janine, whose last name The Daily Wire is not using because she is the victim of sexual assault. Police secured two recorded confessions from her rapist, giving prosecutors what she called a &#8220;layup&#8221; case. Then Descano&#8217;s staff failed to file paperwork within a nine-month deadline, which allowed the rapist to go free. Janine told Descano&#8217;s staffer, &#8220;You&#8217;re telling me because you didn&#8217;t do your job, the judge is going to dismiss it with prejudice?&#8221;
&#8220;She said, &#8216;I&#8217;m really sorry Janine, it&#8217;s political,'&#8221; she told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It leads me to believe it was intentional, because she said it was political. &#8230; I was traumatized. I never thought that [the legal system] would not protect me.&#8221;
In a similar story, Ronnie Reel was indicted in 2021 for forcible sodomy of a child (carrying life in prison). Police had two confessions, but because the prosecutor missed deadlines by months, neither was admissible at trial. Descano allowed Reel to plead guilty to a misdemeanor carrying six months, and blamed the victim as a pretext for the downgrade, Miyares said. The victim&#8217;s mother told Miyares that &#8220;not once was the prosecution in contact with me or my lawyer during the process.&#8221;
Descano&#8217;s office had a pattern of siding with perpetrators and blaming victims, Miyares said. After a police officer used his Taser on a man on PCP who was resisting arrest, the police officer was charged, and Descano&#8217;s office withheld exculpatory evidence, with a judge noting the &#8220;appearance of the misrepresentation of statements made by the Commonwealth to a circuit court judge as it relates to exculpatory evidence.&#8221; The officer was acquitted on all charges.
Descano&#8217;s office has also been dishonest with judges in order to get criminals off the hook, Miyares said.
Bryan Humberto Ramos Rojas was charged for stabbing a kitten and swinging a machete at a police officer, and Descano sought to drastically downgrade the offenses, while describing the offenses in ways that minimized them. The judge said he had been misled by &#8220;the Commonwealth&#8217;s repeated failure to fully inform the Court of the severity, lethality, and brutality,&#8221; and rejected the plea deal. Descano then shopped a similar plea deal to a different judge.
Rey Amparado was charged with four counts of child rape, carrying a mandatory life sentence. To get around that, Descano offered a plea to much more minor charges and an agreement that he would only serve three years in prison, and wouldn&#8217;t have to admit guilt. Prosecutors told the judge &#8220;the victim and her mother were &#8216;angry&#8217; with the way the case was being resolved, but that they were &#8216;not objecting to it,'&#8221; Miyares wrote. A judge wrote that in light of &#8220;the Defendant&#8217;s repeated acts of raping this child &#8230; just three years of active incarceration does not remotely reflect the gravity of the Defendant&#8217;s misconduct,&#8221; noting that the defendant expressed no remorse.
As a crime victim wiped away tears behind him, Miyares said, &#8220;The fact that they have to go to their state attorney general to have their voices heard is a reflection on this weaponized incompetence that Steve Descano has turned the Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney&#8217;s office into. Stop being a social worker, stop being a criminal defense attorney, and start being a prosecutor. If you&#8217;re not willing to do your job, resign so somebody else can.&#8221;

The Trump administration has directed Justice Department prosecutors across the country to investigate whether George Soros’s grantmaking network has provided material support to terror groups. 
Federal prosecutors were instructed to look into bringing charges of racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and material support for terrorism against Soros&#8217; Open Society Foundations (OSF), <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/us/politics/justice-trump-george-soros-foundation.html">according</a> to a copy of a directive obtained by The New York Times. The organization has long been criticized by conservatives for financially backing left-wing causes.
“Everything is on the table right now,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday when asked about the report. 
The directive was issued to U.S. attorneys in California, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, and Maryland.
“This DOJ, along with our hard-working and dedicated U.S. attorneys, will always prioritize public safety and investigate organizations that conspire to commit acts of violence or other federal violations of law,” Justice Department spokesman Chad Gilmartin told the Times. 
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a> 
The directive cites a report from the Capital Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, which says that OSF has given more than $80 million to “groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence.”
That <a href="https://capitalresearch.org/app/uploads/Report.pdf">report</a> said that OSF funded groups that “trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots,” backed the violent Stop Cop City campaign in Atlanta, and instructed “activists in the use of false IDs, blockades, and economic disruption” to protest Israel. 
In a statement, OSF said that the investigation was a “politically motivated” attack on &#8220;civil society.&#8221; 
“The Open Society Foundations unequivocally condemn terrorism and do not fund terrorism. Our activities are peaceful and lawful, and our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and comply with the law,” the group said. 
Calls to investigate and crack down on leftwing violence have increased after the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stephen-miller-vows-to-destroy-vast-domestic-terror-movement-behind-charlie-kirks-assassination?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Stephen+Miller+Vows+To+Destroy+‘Vast+Domestic+Terror+Movement’+Behind+Charlie+Kirk’s+Assassination">said</a> that the administration would go after organizations like the Open Society Foundations that he accused of facilitating violence. 
Last month, President Donald Trump called for Soros to be prosecuted, claiming the Hungarian-born New York billionaire and his son, Alex, backed violent protests across the country. 
“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!”
