By all accounts, even those of liberal media outlets, the Democratic National Committee is broke. Under the leadership of chairman Ken Martin, the DNC is facing a full-blown financial crisis. But how did it come to this? Well, donor flight is one part of the answer. Since President Trump and J.D. Vance took office in a historic victory, the DNC's once-reliable donor class has slammed the brakes on contributions. But the bigger story, and one the mainstream press won't touch, is that a critical pipeline of cash has been shut off: the massive taxpayer-funded slush fund known as USAID.

It’s absolutely true. The Democraps don’t have OPM anymore. They’re morally, intellectually and financially bankrupt.

Why does this story come from Bulgaria? Can’t a US news source print it? That’s also a part of the problem.

The Denver Post just raised the paper .50 cents. Im sure they were getting USAID money too.

Oh! So THAT'S why there's a YouTube ad (starring Comma-LA no less) begging people to donate to the DNC. Odd that Princess Word Salad was chosen, though. She's nothing but a reminder to former donors of how much she wasted their money in 2024 and she's totally a non-serious person to boot. However, I really can't think of anyone on the left who could provide the sincerity and honesty required to encourage donors to open their wallets.

Be interesting to see how many of the European Union's ultra-Left leaders suddenly bottom out their cash supplies, now that USAID money is shut off. Looks like we've been funding all the woke crap everywhere in the world.

And this folks is what would happen if we lost our collective minds and voted for reparations. Not a single, solitary thin dime would go to descendants of slaves but to NGO's and 'community organizers' to 'dole' out to their favorite 'rat politician.

Could this also be why Trump is able to stop many long running wars?

Not just USAID, ActBlue as well. And many of the Dem big money donors are still upset over the way they were conned into giving Kamala more money, even though the internal polling showed she could not win.
I hope the DOJ is on the lookout for illegal donations from overseas - they are coming.

Those who pledge allegiance to the taxpayer subsidies of the USAID, and to the democracy for which it stands, need to start covering the shortfall with their own money. One party, under water, with equity and social justice for all.

Excellent. Another of Washington's dirty secret dragged into the light.
With the double impact of individual donors walking away and the backdoor federal funding being shut off, what will dems do? They face massive image problems and desperately need to get better PR out there but they can't pay for it. Not that they have anything good to talk about anyway and what they have tried to lie about has gone up in smoke almost as soon as they try to spin it. The high end spinmeisters want big bucks and all the dems can afford is liberal college students, who we have seen are rather immature and incompetent outside their liberal college echo chamber.
And in the end, it may not matter much anyway. The reason they lied so effectively was the combination of elected dems, deep state operatives in the government, and the propaganda media. ALL these people have been thoroughly discredited and the American People no longer trust any of them, no matter how much money they use. More money might make a bigger smoke screen but they already had major credibility problems. Less money will just mean they collapse sooner rather than later.

It makes me sick to think that some of these toads in our congress may have been elected using money we pay in taxes, not what we donate. I just wonder how many democrats REALLY won their election over the last 20-25 years. I bet it is a well known secret.

I said for years that they were stealing our money. I agree with poster #1; it's time we get our money back. This includes the money "donors" have given to democrats. No one is above the law!

USAID was funding the far left march through the institutions. No more! Now they will have to depend on foreign contributors through ACT BLUE. President Trump has hit DEI, Transgenders, Globarwarmists and the ones that created COVID and its Vaccines hard and good.

It takes a lot of money to convince people that it is in their interest to import dangerous criminals to the neighborhood.

USAID was thanks to Elon Musk...and I thank him for his efforts to head up DOGE....now the money men from Wall Street and the money from hollyweird are all the democrats have...it's getting desperate times for them...which is why the mayor from Washington DC is spending the weekend at Martha's Vineyard...the Friday night cocktail parties will try and frighten her with blackmail into ...no more pressers...where she is siding with President Trump's take over of DC.....she has to be educated in Woke and DEI....

How many in the DNC wish they hadn't spent $1.5B on Kamala?
