AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - AOC, Tlaib, and other progressive Democrats spent thousands in donor cash at Michelin-starred restaurants
Federal Election Commission filings show self-described champions of the working class, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, spent campaign funds at some of the country's priciest restaurants, including one that accuses Israel of weaponizing food. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign committee dropped nearly $10,000 at multiple Michelin-starred spots, FEC disbursement records show.

Federal Election Commission filings show self-described champions of the working class, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, spent campaign funds at some of the country's priciest restaurants, including one that accuses Israel of weaponizing food. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign committee dropped nearly $10,000 at multiple Michelin-starred spots, FEC disbursement records show. Tlaib's committee spent more than $2,700 at Albi, a Palestinian restaurant in Washington, D.C., whose unnamed owner has accused Israel of using food "to starve people and deprive them of their human rights." A Washington Free Beacon review of the FEC data found the pattern stretches well beyond the Squad, reaching into the campaign accounts of House…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Abdul El-Sayed donors also bankrolled Dan Bilzerian's antisemitic congressional campaign, FEC records show
More than a dozen donors to Dan Bilzerian's failed, openly antisemitic congressional bid in Florida also gave thousands to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a funding overlap that raises hard questions about both campaigns. Federal Election Commission records cross-referenced by the Washington Free Beacon show the shared donors spread money between El-Sayed, a progressive epidemiologist […] The post Abdul El-Sayed donors also bankrolled Dan Bilzerian's antisemitic congressional campaign, FEC records show appeared first on American Almanac .
More than a dozen donors to Dan Bilzerian's failed, openly antisemitic congressional bid in Florida also gave thousands to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a funding overlap that raises hard questions about both campaigns. Federal Election Commission records cross-referenced by the Washington Free Beacon show the shared donors spread money between El-Sayed, a progressive epidemiologist running for Michigan's open Senate seat, and Bilzerian, the social media personality whose Republican primary campaign in Florida's Sixth Congressional District featured campaign ads referencing Hitler and deploying antisemitic slurs. Bilzerian lost that primary to Rep. Randy Fine, a Jewish supporter of Israel, by roughly 40 points, despite…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Progressive leaders keep raising money through ActBlue as fraud investigation deepens
Prominent Democrats including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders continue funneling campaign donations through ActBlue even as congressional investigators probe the platform's failure to stop potentially illegal foreign contributions, and an 88-year-old Michigan woman disputes $150,000 in donations attributed to her name.

Prominent Democrats including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders continue funneling campaign donations through ActBlue even as congressional investigators probe the platform's failure to stop potentially illegal foreign contributions, and an 88-year-old Michigan woman disputes $150,000 in donations attributed to her name. The case of Elizabeth Waffle has become a flashpoint in a years-long congressional investigation into the Democratic fundraising giant. Federal Election Commission records attribute more than 16,000 political contributions totaling nearly $150,000 to Waffle, an 88-year-old resident of Milan, Michigan, over a six-year span from September 2020 through June 2026. Waffle says the numbers are wrong. Interviewed…Open
STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - More ActBlue Fallout: Seniors Deny Six-Figure Donations Listed in Their Names
ActBlue is once again facing multiple probes across several states over large volumes of small phantom donations that continue to appear on the platform. These contributions are routinely listed under the names of ordinary Americans who later say they never gave a dime. The money essentially never leaves the donors’ accounts, only their names and […] The post More ActBlue Fallout: Seniors Deny Six-Figure Donations Listed in Their Names appeared first on StoneZone .
ActBlue is once again facing multiple probes across several states over large volumes of small phantom donations that continue to appear on the platform. These contributions are routinely listed under the names of ordinary Americans who later say they never gave a dime. The money essentially never leaves the donors’ accounts, only their names and addresses are used, and because almost no one reviews FEC reports, the scheme is extremely difficult to detect. This same issue has now surfaced in Wisconsin. These latest findings are based on door-to-door interviews first conducted in 2023 and updated in 2025, and were shared this week with media outlets including The Center Square . Private investigators with Brightline Investigations, led…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Pennsylvania Democrat's uncle and top donor spent decades advancing Beijing's interests
Janelle Stelson, the Democratic candidate challenging Rep. Scott Perry in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, has taken thousands of dollars from her own uncle, a New York businessman who spent his career cultivating ties to CCP-connected officials and urging the U.S. to "join forces" with Beijing.

John W. Allen contributed $8,250 across Stelson's two congressional bids, Federal Election Commission records show. He maxed out his donations during her failed 2024 campaign and kicked in another $1,150 for her current 2026 run. Stelson appears to be the only federal candidate Allen has ever backed financially, a striking detail given the breadth of his professional life in China-adjacent business and nonprofit circles.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - DNC fell for email scam, lost nearly $29,000 to fraudster posing as Chairman Ken Martin
The Democratic National Committee wired nearly $29,000 to an email scammer pretending to be its own chairman, a loss that surfaced in federal records as the party already struggles under crushing debt and mounting calls for new leadership.

The Democratic National Committee wired nearly $29,000 to an email scammer pretending to be its own chairman, a loss that surfaced in federal records as the party already struggles under crushing debt and mounting calls for new leadership. A DNC staffer sent $28,860.92 to an unknown fraudster who impersonated newly installed Chairman Ken Martin via email in February 2025, just weeks after Martin took over the party apparatus. The committee caught the error "within minutes," Breitbart News reported , citing federal records and party official interviews first published by NOTUS. The DNC reported the incident to its bank, Wells Fargo, and recovered $7,000, leaving the party short more than $21,000 from a single phishing email. The staffer…Open
