Shut ActBlue Down

Editor's note: A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuit against Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, ruling that the case was likely filed in retaliation for the organization's support of Paxton's Senate opponent, Democrat James Talarico. U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns, appointed by President Clinton, said the lawsuit appeared to violate ActBlue's First Amendment rights and described it as an attempt to suppress protected political activity. Hillary Clinton used ActBlue as a fundraising platform during her presidential campaigns, just as many Democratic candidates have used it. Paxton had accused ActBlue of misleading the public about its donation safeguards and enabling potentially illegal foreign contributions, allegations the platform denies. The ruling prevents Paxton from pursuing the Texas lawsuit while the broader constitutional challenge moves forward.

Shady ActBlue CEO pled the Fifth 20 TIMES in just one hour during House panel hearing

ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones invoked the Fifth Amendment on Wednesday before the House Administration Committee, surrounding reports that she may have misled Congress about how the platform vets foreign donations.

Wallace-Jones had originally agreed to testify voluntarily before Congress concerning ActBlue's vetting process for foreign contributions to domestic candidates. But her attorneys requested a congressional subpoena on Monday, ahead of her June 10 testimony, according to committee lawmakers.

The House asked Wallace-Jones to testify after a recent New York Times report included memos from Covington & Burling, a law firm that worked for ActBlue, warning that she may have misled Congress about the process for screening overseas donations.

ActBlue is the dominant Democratic fundraising platform. In 2025 alone, the platform reported raising almost $1.8 billion from 52 million contributions, and Q4 that year marked the single-largest off-cycle quarter in ActBlue history.

Under federal election law, foreign nationals or those who are not permanent residents are forbidden to donate directly to federal candidates or political action committees.

Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) said only Americans should decide their elections during the hearing titled, "Preventing Fraudulent Donations: Transparency, Verification, and Accountability."

"Ms. Wallace-Jones is here today because there's a significant concern that ActBlue may have allowed foreign donations on their platform, lied to Congress, and withheld responsive documents from a congressional subpoena," Steil said. "All three of those actions are illegal."

Steil said Wallace-Jones provided a 2023 letter to Congress stating that ActBlue prevents foreign donations by requiring donors with a foreign address to provide U.S. passport information. If a contribution appears to be from a foreign address, ActBlue contacts the donor to request U.S. passport information. The platform would then refund the contribution if ActBlue was unable to contact the donor.

"The New York Times reported that ActBlue's outside counsel determined those three steps are not always followed," Steil said.
