DNC Dark Money

Blurb:

It took about a week, but it is our duty to report that the Minnesota Somali welfare scam has finally been reported on Elitist Media nightly news. Unsurprisingly, the network to break the seal was NBC.

Watch as Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez does the right thing and exposes NBC’s viewers to an egregious theft of public funds via fraud, regardless of the fraudsters’ ethnic origins:

GABE GUTIERREZ: It comes as the administration ramps up its crackdown on illegal immigration. A senior law enforcement official tells NBC News ICE is planning an operation this week in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where there’s a large Somali population.

Thirteen House Republicans broke ranks Wednesday night, siding with Democrats to move ahead on a bill aimed at gutting President Donald Trump’s executive order clamping down on federal worker unions.

The push came from Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, who used a procedural weapon known as a discharge petition to force the issue onto the floor. The maneuver lets a majority of lawmakers drag a bill forward even if leadership wants it buried.

The House voted 222-200 to start debate and set up a final vote. All 209 Democrats joined 13 Republicans to advance the measure, which faces another procedural test Thursday.

The GOP defectors were Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, Nicole Malliotakis of New York, Nick LaLota of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Mike Lawler of New York, Tom Kean of New Jersey, Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, Zach Nunn of Iowa, Chris Smith of New Jersey, Pete Stauber of Minnesota, and Mike Turner of Ohio.

New Venture Fund, a hub of the Left’s dark money network, bankrolls both sides of climate lawfare: the lawyers who file lawsuits against energy companies and a nonprofit training judges to view such cases favorably. The fund, however, claims these projects are “unrelated.”

In its 2024 tax filing, New Venture Fund reported sending $2.3 million to Sher Edling, L.L.P., a law firm that represents Democratic prosecutors when they file climate litigation against tax filings. The fund also gave $1.25 million to the Environmental Law Institute, a nonprofit that trains judges how to approach their work to “make environmental, economic, and social progress.”

“New Venture Fund works with numerous projects and institutional funders to advance their missions on a variety of issues, including education, health care, and the environment,” a spokesperson for the nonprofit told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Our grants to Sher Edling and the Environmental Law Institute were made on behalf of two separate fiscally sponsored projects. These grants are unrelated and have no connection to each other.”
