President Trump has ordered the DOJ to investigate ActBlue, the key fundraising platform for Democrats, just ahead of the 2025 election cycle. ActBlue, which has raised nearly $17 billion since 2004, decried this investigation as an unlawful move aimed at quelling political opposition. The Trump administration claims they are securing elections, while critics argue that their actions, such as an executive order restricting voter access, undermine democracy. A federal judge has already partially blocked these efforts, emphasizing that election regulation is a responsibility of Congress and the States.
ActBlue said that Trump's order was his latest move to 'stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition.'
The Trump Administration's targeting of ActBlue is part of their brazen attack on democracy in America, as stated by ActBlue.
Trump's memorandum suggests an investigation into alleged misuse of fundraising platforms, claiming to secure elections while actually infringing on voting rights.
A federal judge noted that the authority to regulate federal elections lies with Congress and the States, not the President.
