Taxpayer-funded hearings shouldn't double as political fundraisers.

APT's ethics complaint against Rep. Julie Johnson has been filed.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

🚨 NEW: Americans for Public Trust has filed an ethics complaint against @RepJulieJohnson (D-TX) for soliciting political contributions on behalf of Democratic Party candidates during today's @HouseAdmin hearing.

We urge @CongressEthics to investigate.

Yesterday, APT filed a complaint alleging the ACLU Foundation gave foreign money to Stop the Ban in violation of Missouri’s new law banning foreign money in ballot measures.

Since then, ACLU Foundation funneled another $2 million into Missouri. Today, we filed a supplemental complaint highlighting this new money flow.

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

As a foreign-funded group, the ACLU Foundation is barred from contributing to ballot issue campaigns in Missouri.

Nonetheless, they accepted foreign money and proceeded to funnel $500k to Stop the Ban. This is the exact foreign influence Missouri's new law is designed to combat.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

🚨 NEW: Americans for Public Trust has filed a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General against the ACLU Foundation and Stop the Ban for violating Missouri’s Foreign Influence in Ballot Measures Act.

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

Nebraska is now the 10th state in under 2 years to pass a strong law banning foreign funding of ballot initiatives!

I applaud @TeamPillen and all legislative leaders who worked to protect Nebraska from foreign interference.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

🚨 Nebraska Gov. @TeamPillen has signed into law LB 1075 — a bill that comprehensively bans foreign nationals from contributing to state ballot measure campaigns!

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

In a move that shocks absolutely no one, @RWeingarten and @AFTunion are, once again, prioritizing progressive politics over students ⬇️

The FEC needs to tell Dan Osborn that running for public office isn't a generational wealth strategy for his family.

It’s more than suspicious that his campaign has paid his wife, his daughter, his brother-in-law, and two sisters-in-law…

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

🚨 NEW FILING 🚨

Today, Americans for Public Trust filed a complaint with the FEC against U.S. Senate Candidate Dan Osborn for violating campaign finance law, including making excessive payments to his family members and running federal PACs.

And right on cue, Soros dumps $5M into Virginia’s redistricting fight.

He’s working overtime to buy congressional districts.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

UPDATE: Liberal dark money groups keep pouring money into Virginia to redraw congressional districts.

George Soros’ 501(c)(4) — Fund for Policy Reform, Inc. — just dropped $5M in support of the redistricting referendum.

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

But, don't take my word for it, here's their tax filing:

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

Beyond Parody: A @Public_Citizen witness said under oath, with a straight face, that the donation they received from the Wyss Foundation “is not money from a foreign national.”

One problem: the Wyss Foundation is 100% funded by Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss.

[Congressman Nathaniel Moran @RepNateMoran]

A British billionaire funneled $500M+ into U.S. advocacy groups while running operations out of Beijing and funding CCP-connected organizations. He abruptly pulled the money once we exposed it.

@WaysandMeansGOP is shining a light on how foreign actors exploit American nonprofits to influence our policies. Transparency matters. Accountability matters.

🧵RPT: FOREIGN CASH FLOWING TO LIBERAL NON-PROFITS

A House hearing exposes the funding behind America’s non-profits

@FoxBusiness @RepJasonSmith

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

Foreign billionaires and foreign entities shouldn’t have their thumb on the scale of American politics — yet that’s exactly what’s happening.

With billions in foreign funding flowing through U.S. nonprofits, Americans deserve transparency, accountability, and real oversight.

[Gabe Kaminsky @gekaminsky]

SCOOP: Fidelity, a huge donor-advised fund, wired $37.5M to a dark money org that backed Kamala Harris in ‘24. But the donation is now turning heads among tax experts, who say Fidelity failed to disclose giving to a non-charity—raising q’s about tax law and voter turnout efforts

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

Thank you, @WaysandMeansGOP, for inviting me to testify.

Foreign billionaires like Hansjorg Wyss and Christopher Hohn should not be allowed to meddle in our political system.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

WATCH: @CaitlinAPT testifies on foreign threats and influence in the non-profit sector before @WaysandMeansGOP:

“Abolishing private cars. Eating less meat. Training judges. Protests. Suing energy companies. These are just a few examples of what is being financed by foreign money, and it must stop.”

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

It was a great day testifying in Nebraska on how to stop foreign money coming into the state! My fully testimony supporting LB 927 👇

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

WATCH: @CaitlinAPT’s full testimony today before the Nebraska Government, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee in support of Nebraska LB 927, which comprehensively bans foreign nationals from contributing to state ballot measure campaigns.

“This legislation is critical to clarify and ensure only U.S. citizens have a voice in your politics and policy.”

[Caitlin Sutherland @CaitlinAPT]

One dictatorship supporting another — this time through an American progressive group.

Always follow the money.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

NEW: A CCP-linked group is reportedly behind pro-Maduro protests nationwide.

The People’s Forum, a socialist nonprofit organizing the protests, also has ties to Neville Roy Singham — an alleged CCP ally who resides in Shanghai.

Another day, another group masquerading as “grassroots” that’s actually funded by foreign billionaires.

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

WaPo calls Free DC the face of D.C.’s resistance movement.

What they fail to mention is that they operate as a trade name of Community Change — a group bankrolled by at least $1.6 million in foreign funding.

Another soft-on-crime Soros-backed prosecutor putting residents at risk:

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

The prosecutor who released the Reston, Virginia, shooting suspect, an illegal alien, was backed by George Soros.

Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano has received $627,653 from the Soros-funded Justice & Public Safety PAC.

WATCH: APT Executive Director @CaitlinAPT joined @NEWSMAX’s @Tom_Basile this morning to discuss our latest findings:

"Our report lays out that just five foreign charities have quietly funneled almost $2 billion into U.S. political groups, causes, and nonprofit sector. And it’s financing some pretty outrageous things like climate litigation and research all to advance a foreign activist agenda."

[Americans for Public Trust @apublictrust]

🚨 NEW APT REPORT: Five foreign charities have quietly funneled almost $2 billion into U.S. policy fights, litigation, research, protests, lobbying, and the nonprofit sector to advance their extreme, foreign, activist climate agenda.
