The court sided with ActBlue’s argument that the lawsuit amounted to “retaliation” for its role in fundraising for Democratic candidates.
Clinton District Judge Richard G. Stearns in Massachusetts blocked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from “continuing to litigate” the case against the progressive fundraising organization ActBlue. He found that ActBlue was likely to succeed in its claims that the action infringed on its First Amendment’s free-speech protections.
The court sided with ActBlue’s argument that the lawsuit amounted to “retaliation” for its role in fundraising for Democratic candidates, namely Paxton’s opponent in the Texas Senate race, state Rep. James Talarico (D).
The judge said that Paxton mentioned the case on “conservative” TV and in fundraising emails.
“The lawsuit in Texas is undoubtedly an adverse action,” Stearns, an appointee of former President Clinton, wrote in a 15-page order. “And having previously found bad faith, the court agrees with ActBlue that the evidence in the record compels the conclusion that, far from protecting Texas consumers, the action was filed in retaliation for ActBlue’s fundraising on behalf of Talarico, Paxton’s current political rival for the Senate seat.”
ActBlue is accused of fundraising tens of millions from foreigners. They weren’t following the law, even with the forms that accompany the donations. They arrogantly won’t answer questions before Congress. Wallace Jones, the CEO, even pleaded the Fifth over her name.

🚨 WATCH: ActBlue training materials caught instructing employees to accept donations from donors using FAKE NAMES.
I asked the CEO directly if this was true.
She refused to answer.
This is how Democrats “protect democracy”?
Straight-up election finance fraud territory.

Years ago James O’Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) PROVED what a scam ActBlue is, so why is it still allowed to operate?

Hey @Jim_Jordan there were foreign donations via @actblue yes, but the bulk of the money laundered into political campaigns is coming from the US Treasury.
