@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Let's go through Thune's handlers, shall we? The crossover Punchbowl sponsors who also donated to Thune. Goldman Sachs, $150,000 to Thune: Top financial-sector H-1B user. Relies on foreign talent pipeline for trading, quant, and tech roles. Primary stake: filibuster preservation blocks financial regulation reform. A stricter enforcement ecosystem threatens their workforce model and signals a broader documentation-verification environment they oppose.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Comcast/NBCUniversal, $120,000 to Thune: Major H-1B user for engineering and tech. Owns MSNBC, the cable network that platforms @AndrewDesiderio himself to amplify Thune's framing nationally. Comcast's cable/infrastructure workforce includes significant numbers of undocumented- adjacent workers. Unique dual stake: financial interest in immigration permissiveness AND editorial interest in maintaining the access journalism model.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Chevron, $111,000 to Thune: Uses H-1B visas for petroleum engineers and technical staff. Refinery and pipeline operations rely on immigrant labor at lower skill tiers. Stake in SAVE Act specifically is moderate — primary lobbying focus is energy regulation — but benefits structurally from filibuster preservation that slows all enforcement legislation.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Merck, $100,000 to Thune: Top pharma H-1B employer. Approximately 30% of US pharmaceutical researchers are foreign-born on work visas. Merck has actively lobbied for STEM immigration expansion. PhRMA member — same filibuster-dependency rationale: drug pricing reform dies at 60 votes. A tighter identity-verification enforcement environment would disrupt their researcher pipeline.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Wells Fargo, $90,000 to Thune: Banks undocumented immigrants via ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) accounts — a significant revenue stream. Wells Fargo has an active ITIN mortgage lending program that extends home loans to non-citizens without Social Security Numbers. Strict ID verification norms that SAVE Act signals would threaten this customer base. Also a major H-1B employer for technology roles.

American Express, $75,000 to Thune: H-1B user for technology and data science roles. Provides financial services to international travelers and non-citizen customers. Opposes documentation requirements that reduce the size of their serviceable customer base. A confirmed Punchbowl event attendee (Brett Loper, Govt Affairs) and consistent Thune donor.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@PunchbowlNews @LeaderJohnThune @AndrewDesiderio Google/Alphabet, $75,000 to Thune: Among the largest H-1B sponsors in the United States annually. Lobbied against mandatory E-Verify. Employees donated heavily to FWD . us (the Zuckerberg-founded pro-immigration lobbying coalition). Google supported DACA protections.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Meta/Facebook, $72,500 to Thune: Zuckerberg co-founded FWD . us in 2013 — the most prominent pro-immigration corporate lobbying coalition in Washington. Meta subject of a reinstated federal lawsuit (2024) for systematically preferring foreign workers over US citizens in job postings. Spent $935K+ funding American Edge Project newsletter ads on Punchbowl, Axios, and Politico while lobbying against tech regulation.

🧵THREAD: Is Trump's hunch about foreign influence in SCOTUS correct? After the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on tariffs, Trump said "It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think." Trump is likely referring to the ideology of supranationalism -- a centuries-old ideology that considered tariffs to be among the highest economical blunders, not for economic reasons, but because tariffs dare to assert national rights in a telos of universal liberalism. But is he right about the foreign influence? As has been widely reported, @MikeBenzCyber has unpacked the details of the friendship between John Roberts and Norm Eisen, and their Prague vacations where they discussed "American and European rule-of-law issues" together. But there's more to it. A lot more. 👇 As always, patience as I pull the thread together.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
I would have chalked it up to incompetence, except that just days ago we arrested the actual shooter from the SLC No Kings protest, who turned out to be a member of the SLC Armed Queers. The case was strange from the start: the victim was arrested, and the charging documents appeared to contradict what was visible in the videos. We learned witnesses had actively coordinated to prevent one of their own from being charged. This is the same group that deleted its social media posts on the day of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and is alleged to have had advance knowledge along with multiple trans groups. Then the police officer yesterday refused to comment on what the shooter shouted although multiple media reports had already said it wash "Allah Akbar." Between that plus the mainstream celebrations of Kirk's death and Jay Jones's election, we cannot just yet write off the possibility that this country has fallen so far off the end that students and professors automatically are covering for the shooter even though they saw someone get shot point blank in the face.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution 🚨🚨 This is not speculation; it’s straight from a recorded call. Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year. But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly." They reference coordination with Johns Hopkins, "international democracy and conflict mitigation spaces," and efforts to mobilize across borders against what they perceive as domestic authoritarianism. At what point does this become treason? As always, patience as I pull together this thread. 👇

I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this. "I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive."" Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy. An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty. Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.

To make it even more insane, she doesn't follow it up with, "yeah, I know, this sounds dystopian, hear me out..." she follows it up with "I can already imagine the reactions of many: this is a naive utopia, it is impossible in this day and age." Utopia. It's utopia to her and her audience.

Fun fact: speaking of Woodrow Wilson, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was formed to continue his intellectual lineage. The CFR is among the oldest thinktanks and perhaps the most powerful. Its meetings were initially chaired by Elihu Root, Carnegie's President and former Secretary of War. Its chairs have included David Rockefeller and infamous CIA director Allen Dulles. If you look up their member roster, it's full of relatives of Presidents and technocrats. If there were ever an elite's club, this is it. In case you are wondering how prestigious being admitted is - Jeffrey Epstein was also a member.

@SKDoubleDub33 Per the 990 form with Utah Global Diplomacy (EIN 876128308), the nonprofit is a partner with the US State Department to cultivate emerging leaders and diplomacy initiatives. In other words, she was selected to "help shape U.S. Foreign relations." Their words, not mine.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SKDoubleDub33 Fanaeian was selected as Utah Global Diplomacy's first "7 for 17" Award Winner , honoring her work to advance UN's 17 Sustainable Goals. I'm pulling together the exact nature of the work that she did for the UN.

I received the following email from CODEPINK. "We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK. These claims—which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any foreign government or entity—are entirely baseless and constitute libel." So, I will share the facts without spin: Per Wikipedia, CODEPINK is 25% funded by Neville Singham, who is living in Shanghai and got rich off spreading CCP propaganda, and is under investigation by Congress for FARA violations. CODEPINK is running a campaign called "China is Not Our Enemy," which promotes pro-China messaging, including denial of the Uyghur genocide, an atrocity affirmed by the U.S. Department of State. The founder of CODEPINK, Jodie Evans, is married to the aforementioned Neville Singham. In fact, the Uyghur denialism goes so far that Jodie Evans said in a YouTube interview, that Uyghurs are terrorists trained in Yemen and Syria who bomb shopping centers.

Heal Palestine (the group who is posting about welcoming Gaza refugees) has EIN 882454707 and filed a 990N for the year 2023. Yet, 990Ns are for charities with revenues under 50K and I found multiple instances of 50K+ grants. Heal Palestine's board is full of technocrats ... but perhaps most telling is that there is a Mohanned Awad on the board who is publicly declared as bringing "UAE connections to HEAL’s Board." Steve Sosebee, the founder of Heal Palestine, also founded the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). They too got an enormous cash influx boost starting in 2023.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
The UAE has a strong connection to PCRF. They are mentioned in multiple social media posts. Was the UAE involved in bringing Gaza refugees over to the USA? https://t.co/R0VYwyhrFK

@RepFine @RepLuna @bullfrog35 Well, I think the picture is pretty clear, so I'll end the thread here. TL;DR: Jordan's government is re-routing Palestinian refugees over to the United States through a NGO which is a reboot of PCRF that has previously received Holy Land Foundation funding.

@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Yep. Jordan has one of the most advanced health care systems and is a top medical tourism destination, I'm that's the entire reason why Trump arranged that Feb 2025 deal with them. Sosebee explicitly says that these children are "starting" care in other countries. Meaning they never got true care in Jordan. And many of these children coincidentally happen to be photogenic amputees and there are crowds & photo-ops pre-arranged for their arrival. So basically Jordan gets these kids and immediately is punting them all over the world for some hidden agenda. Sosebee is one sick man who exploits children.

From the other thread - the more I think about this screenshot from International Organization for Migration (IOM), the more it disturbs me. I think the picture we had of migrants, is of desperate people fleeing war-torn countries on foot. I don't think anyone of us thought of refugee migration as a process which is coordinated and scheduled by NGOs, done with chartered flights. Who decides how to schedule flights, which countries to schedule them, which migrants get these flights? The US paid IOM a million dollars for chartered flights of 12,000 Lebanon refugees in 2006, but there were nearly a million Lebanon refugees total. How was that 12,000 chosen? And what's more, the document seems to lay responsibility for "reception arrangements" on the country of origin and even seems to warn against returning migrants. All this strongly points to a globally coordinated effort, decades in the making, to set up an infrastructure to transport millions of "refugees" without any corresponding infrastructure for them to return home. This leads to the conspiracy thought that if this infrastructure for mass one-way migration in place was done knowingly, then destabilization of the country of origin may have been intentional, as well. That's just ... horrid for everyone involved. Migrants and Westerners alike. Side note: the International Republican Institute (the official Republican Party "soft power" NGO) gave IOM grants.

🧵 THREAD: The history of Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK Jodie Evans gets most of the attention as the co-founder of CODEPINK and Neville Singham's wife. But Medea Benjamin's history may be more interesting. While creating the linked thread below, I dived into Medea Bejamin briefly - who had an interesting history of speaking to Chinese media. She co-founded Global Exchange with her husband, Kevin Danaher, which goes on a number of "Reality Trips" to various closed countries - Cuba, Venezuela, among others. If you've followed me long enough ... you know that's a big red flag. State-facilitated exchange trips are one of the most common "soft power" tools that countries have in exporting their ideology to others.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Benjamin, per SFGate, has been a career activist since her college years, spending much of her time overseas in Africa. The Wikipedia page says that she joined Students for a Democratic Society in college - if so, this makes her yet another homegrown career NGO-ist. https://t.co/2rbic28KOY
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
The prior thread mentioned briefly that she went to Cuba from 1979 to 1983 to work as a translator for their official Communist Party newspaper. She lauded their comparative social equality, describing it as "I died and went to heaven." She got deported after writing an anti-government article, having overestimated Cuba's taste for freedom of speech.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
In 1988, she co-founded Global Exchange. The SFGate article credits her father as having backed it with hundreds of thousands of dollars, despite them disagreeing vehemently on the issue of Palestine. https://t.co/eq1ermCj92
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Global Exchange engages in "people-to-people" diplomacy by taking it on various tours of countries. But these type of trips are often done so with government backing. For instance, the Cuban trips are done with "Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples" as the hosting institution.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples (ICAP) was formed by Fidel Castro himself in 1960. So, Medea is literally taking people on Cuban tours to a state-linked institute formed by Castro himself. https://t.co/SMP6gWqRQd
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Another "Reality Tour" country which Global Exchange has visited is Nicaragua. I had to go back to the web archives to find the itinerary ... and it talks about meeting with representatives of Sandinistas. https://t.co/KGlDq0LiTx
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
The Sandinistas are a left-wing political party which was once at the center of a CIA coup. It is the party which Daniel Ortega belongs to. So, yes, Medea Benjamin's Global Exchange took others on a trip to Nicaragua to meet the left-wing activists there. https://t.co/86U8dZN0r4
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
There is no United States embassy in Iran, so it is notoriously difficult to visit there. Yet, Medea Benjamin herself was able to take a 28-person "people-to-people" delegate to Iran and speak to government officials there.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
In fact, the Global Exchange delegation to Iran was so unusual that Medea Benjamin came under FBI scrutiny for it. This was reported in Tehran Times, an Iranian state-controlled news outlet. https://t.co/6ftov3KQAr

🧵THREAD: "Fake MAGA," Foreign Ops & the Nick Fuentes Factor This week on X has been chaotic, and every influencer I've talked to feels it. A new report dropped, and it's making serious claims: that foreign propaganda accounts are masquerading as MAGA to hijack conservative spaces and even push people to turn on Trump himself. The report goes beyond analyzing bots and foreign actors. It names names. And the New York post article buried the lede: it explicitly calls out Nick Fuentes and his network as central amplifiers. Nick Fuentes is the third rail of MAGA X, and for good reason; to speak of him is to invite wrath and harassment. I could've left this volatile topic alone and I know I would've been better off for it. But when I see what @SarahisCensored has endured - and the grace and courage she's shown - it's a reminder of 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." ... how can I possibly stay silent? It’s time we break the taboo of calling out wolves in MAGA clothing, even the ones the bots prop up. I read the entire report. Now I'm going to walk you through what it really says. And what we need to watch for. 👇 Patience as I assemble this thread in real time.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
. @SarahIsCensored , a pregnant independent journalist, was the last major influencer to speak ill of Nick Fuentes. Her life has been made hell as a result. This is a small sampling of the harassment she has received: https://t.co/G5DPlX4a7D

@SarahisCensored Now moving onto the actual report. It is published by Network Contagion Research Institute - a NGO with opaque funding and less than transparent motives. It has impressive data science, but the way it presents it is often biased. https://t.co/B3UsICCAcD
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
It was founded by Joel Finkelstein, and the NCRI itself has been used to suppress disinformation and promote pro-government narrative. I say this because I want to acknowledge the motives behind this report. That being said, it does a reasonable job of keeping - for example, in dissecting the usage of "Christ is King," they explicitly greenlit @JackPosobiec - something many with an agenda fail to do.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored So why even pay attention to the report? Because I was able to independently verify information within in it. https://t.co/DPOcLMPmZk
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored The gist of the report: Foreign state actors and bots amplify a handful of X accounts making controversial posts, the foremost among them being Nick Fuentes and his followers. An example is the 21 May killing of the Israel embassy staffers. https://t.co/YIxx1tsWmL
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
We now know that Elias Rodriguez, the killer, was a member of the PSL (despite their denials). And we also now know that PSL is backed by Neville Singham, who is under Congressional investigation for acting on the behalf of CCP. Foreign state actors certainly would want to keep this information hidden and amplify the "false flag" narrative!
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
And indeed, this is what happened: Nick Fuente's "false flag" post got 48K likes, and NCRI noted bot-like 💯 responses. Now, caveat: X's comment hiding system is odd and I was only able to view a few dozen comments or so out of the 1.2K comments he got, so I wasn't able to independently verify that part.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
However, @SarahisCensored has commented to me many times that she noticed this same phenomenon. And others have noticed as well. Nick Fuentes' army is artificially boosted in some part. And it seems reasonable that foreign actors invested in splintering the MAGA coalition is the reaosn why.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored Note the timestamps. The pattern typically is: Nick Fuentes Xeets out something controversial and divisive of MAGA - such as Trump being implicated in Epstein files - and the alleged bad actors amplify and follow. https://t.co/vGdNgApcww
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored Now, I want to emphasize that this report IS biased in naming certain Xeets as actors for foreign interests. For example, it accuses DravenNoctis of pushing pro-Kremlin narratives. But that does not mean DravenNoctis is acting on the behalf of Russia.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored However, others like Jackson Hinkle do seem to be genuine actors of the Russian state - he regularly gives interviews to pro-Russia outlets and moved to Moscow. https://t.co/yDz4fTTvPW
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored Cyabra, a software suite aimed to detect bots, detected that 24% of accounts pushing the "false flag" narrative after May 21 were bots. https://t.co/jYWFvC9U8h
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored Per the report, Megatron_ron, another X account implicated as a foreign actor, has borrowed from Iran's state media reporting word-for-word as recently as 12 June. https://t.co/HToFhQxB3I
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@SarahisCensored And I'll stop here - you can read the report for yourself. It isn't perfect, but it raises serious, well-documented concerns. Circumstantial evidence points to foreign actors using the Groypers as a vehicle to splinter the MAGA movement. God bless. And stay frosty. 🇺🇸

You aren't going to like this post, but it needs to be said about Vance Bolter. At first, I assumed Vance Boelter was just another grifter in the NGO/activist space. He built a fake resume, floated around volunteer gigs, and set up shell organizations for clout. His "Red Lion Group" has no real paper trail. His side business in "security services" looks like a cash grab. But the more I dug, the more different it looks. Boelter was a 7/11 manager, but constantly promoted himself as a corporate executive. He claims the title "Dr." based on a Ed.D. in Leadership. He chased every opportunity to get in front of an audience: volunteering for Governor Walz's "Workforce Development" initiatives, speaking at conferences, anything to be seen as a leader. And in videos of him in African churches, you see him light up. He's performing. He's preaching vague, positive platitudes to foreign audiences. He wanted to be somebody. He wanted to be followed. There's good reason to believe that @JamesHartline is right... he was remodeling that building below into a church. Not to serve Jesus, but as a stage for an audience that would never come. I think he is a man addicted to attention and status, who tried to get it through a lot of means. And when that attention dried up (possibly whoever cut him off his funding in Congo), he snapped. I believe Vance Boelter committed violence as a last, desperate attempt to be glorified: under the delusion that killing abortion rights activists would make him a martyr or hero. This is not Christianity. I watched his sermons. They were designed to provoke emotional applause, not spiritual conviction. His actions contradict the standard Jesus gave us to recognize false prophets: "By their fruits you will know them." – Matthew 7:15–20 Boelter bore no good fruit. Just narcissism, manipulation, and ultimately violence. He wasn't an evangelical or MAGA. He was a man who couldn't stand being ordinary.

I've done quite a few real estate transactions, and this one makes me scratch my head big time. This looks like almost a way to launder the $99,900.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Let me explain: Boetler buys property for $20,000 on 11/20/2020 Boetler creates contract to Person A on 6/7/2021 for $99,900 - quadruple the price. Usually this would represent some sort of seller financing. Typical terms are 25% down and high interest rates, with the expectation of finding a real mortgage. Person A forfeits to Boetler on 9/11/2021. Usually this means payments were not made. Boetler "assigns" to Person B on 7/8/2022 for 99,900. Probably the original seller financing deed, but I don't have an explanation for why he'd do it in this way. Person B quit claims to Boelter on 1/17/2024. Again, I am not sure why unless they decided they didn't want to make payments anymore. Boetler finally sells to Person C on 8/6/2024 for $60,000.

Given what we now know about NGO-sponsored "cultural exchanges" as a soft power tool, I'm going to be blunt: Tim Walz is a Chinese Communist operative. He took college students to China on "educational" trips subsidized by the Chinese government. We know now that these types of trips that are funded and structured for one reason only: to normalize and promote the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party under the guise of diplomacy. Now, he's parroting the CCP's talking points and openly calling for the U.S. to share "moral authority" with China. The Democratic Party elevates radicals and subversives in its ranks. We see this over and over. Karen Bass was a Cuban communist operative. Tim Walz brought kids over to China to get them indoctrinated. If this country had taken Communist subversion seriously decades ago, there's a chance we would not have had all this civil unrest. McCarthy was right.

It's important to understand that the June 8–9 protests were financed by PSL, the People's Front, and Neville Singham... entities aligned with anti-Western Communist/Chinese interests.

Overall, I'll take a break here as this is quite frustrating - the network of advocacy NGOs are just tangled up in each other.

People say I talk about Soros too much, so let me explain exactly why. Soros the man is old, and frankly, not long for this world. What matters is the ideology he's spent decades building and embedding deep inside our federal institutions. That ideology says: the only path to "national security" is to force other countries to adopt globalist-style "democracies," whether they want it or not. The same policy elites who shape our foreign interventions abroad are also the ones wrote essays on how to keep Trump from winning again... openly, proudly, and using your tax dollars. They fly under the banner of "protecting democracy," but what they're really doing is suppressing populism, both here and abroad. Now look at the video below. Cold, hard data.

🚨 JUST RELEASED: Follow the Money Behind the No Kings Rally 🚨 DataRepublican has launched an interactive, open-source map showing how your tax dollars flow to organizations involved in the No Kings rally. 🔍 I tracked funding from federal sources to final recipients, prioritizing direct paths (not via DAFs) whenever possible. 👉 IMPORTANT: most paths still went through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)—the black box of the nonprofit world. Unfortunately, it's a common and opaque funding structure that deserves scrutiny. 💥 Explore it for yourself: Click on "Federal Grant Flow" for any NoKings organization to open any visual flowchart, tracing dollars from origin to destination. 🖼️ Also, you can save any graph as an SVG and take it wherever you need. 📌 I'll keep updating the database as more EINs come in.

🚨🔥 WHO'S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES? 🔥🚨 Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn't "spontaneous outrage." This was organized. Funded. Coordinated. Here’s a breakdown of the groups, the money, and the people pulling the strings. Patience as I assemble the thread and verify information in real time 👇🧵
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation. https://t.co/yS7jXkHGJ8
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants. https://t.co/u7GK7UILPM
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
In their most recent year, CHIRLA jumped from 12 million to 34 million in government grants. Nice! However, this is probably from CA - "only" 450K in federal grants. https://t.co/ghXFehJkdD
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
These are their two federal grants, both completed. Now moving onto PSLWeb... https://t.co/Rdk0CajX06

ANSWER Coalition is mentioned on their Wikipedia page to have significant financial overlap. https://t.co/KVoGIPXBOm
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
It is tough to find backings on either group, as they do not have a nonprofit associated with them. Both claim to be funded entirely by members. (🐄💩) However, I did find a NY Post article claiming that both are funded by billionaire socialist Neville Singer. https://t.co/IGrjche0m7
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Neville Singham - sorry. Real nice guy. Activist who became a billionaire by pushing Chinese propaganda worldwide. https://t.co/OojaZwUgZV

🧵 THREAD: Who really is Karen Bass? Most people know her as the Mayor of Los Angeles, and some remember her botched handling of this year's wildfire crisis. But there’s a lot more beneath the surface. Let’s dig in. ⬇️ 1️⃣ Karen Bass once served as Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. government-funded NGO notorious for meddling in foreign governments under the banner of "promoting democracy." Translation: soft power regime change. 2️⃣ NED has been exposed repeatedly for funding color revolutions, pushing Western-aligned NGOs, and helping topple governments that don’t play ball with U.S. interests. Bass was right in the middle of it. 3️⃣ And then there’s the scholarship scandal. LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas got federally indicted for receiving a scholarship from USC’s School of Social Work and allegedly trading favors. Bass? She received the exact same scholarship. But no charges. Not even a slap on the wrist. 4️⃣ Why the double standard? When you're part of the machine... when you’ve got D.C. connections, NGO backing, and ties to the intel-adjacent nonprofit world: you get protection. She’s not a DEI figurehead - she's in the system. 5️⃣ This thread will walk through her career, her quiet rise through soft power institutions, and how she became a key player in the globalist swamp. Big thanks to @HTWardish for the lead. Let’s get into it. (Patience as I construct this thread live)🔻
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Karen Bass' political career started early. She volunteered in Robert Kennedy's political campaign in middle school. She studied philosophy at San Diego University from 1971 to 1973, but she was already a full-fledged political activist by then. At the age of only 19 years old, she was already visiting Cuba every six months as a part of a group called the Venceremos Brigade. These visits would continue to the mid-1970s. The Venceremos Brigade was a joint effort from the Castro government - she was working at the behest of a quasi-governmental NGO backed by Castro.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
If you are asking yourself why and how so many activists are raised - this is a common pattern. They "go after" extremist university students and these students become NGO careerists. This is why a top priority of the Trump administration must be to kneecap NGO and foreign influence in colleges.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Bass was so indoctrinated in Castro doctrine that she ended up embracing the more authoritarian aspects of his ideology and ironically rejecting the hippie movement. https://t.co/lakHPewqsc
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
In the late 1980s, Bass founded Community Coalition in South Los Angeles - more commonly known as "CoCo." Their EIN is 954298811, and they have since grown to possess 31 million in assets and get 9 million dollars in revenue. About 3 million of that is government grants. https://t.co/NgpQaAMVl4
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
CoCo's mission statement: community organizing through "building grassroots leadership." Their main service appears to be holding townhalls. The vast majority of their expenditures are in salaries and benefits. https://t.co/lsxgSQUlhH
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
And, yes, they receive federal grants. All the while drug use in LA has skyrocketed. https://t.co/C8vWGKvaZW
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Bass' leadership in Coco would see her be elected to represent California's 47th Assembly District. She became the first Black woman to serve in CA state legislature. She was re-elected in 2006 and 2008, and then her term limit expired. She became appointed as majority whip in 2005- quite a prominent position early on. I'm trying to dig into that.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Bass became elected to the US House of Representatives in 2011, where she would stay until 2022. While in the House of Representatives, she served as a ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
A biography notes she traveled to Africa 30+ times. In short, she never stopped being a global activist - this doubtlessly made her an attractive target for NED. https://t.co/YXzjIjXHL5
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
In 2018, she was a featured speaker at the World Movement for Democracy, which probably deserves a thread all on its own as it was founded by NED. @MikeBenzCyber https://t.co/80AIydDTs2
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber Bass served on NED from 2014, just three years after she became elected to the House of Representatives - which is a remarkably short timeframe. Even all the more startling as appointments are typically Senators. Representatives are not appointed nearly often enough. https://t.co/2hmOn3wZFl
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber Bass' long tenure in NED allowed her to become Vice Chair in 2021, while being an active member of Congress. As a reminder, NED receives 350+ million dollars annually, almost all of it federally taxpayer funded. https://t.co/BZFiYoD3Gr

@MikeBenzCyber The other recipient of scholarship bribes? Karen Bass. She was not investigated at all. Not even on their radar. https://t.co/YKpLTAlDjn
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. That's right. Bass is responsible for Xavier Becerra being in the HHS Secretary position. https://t.co/zn6MQd2cqf
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber Let's put it this way: Xavier Becerra prioritized human traffickers above child safety. He pushed placement of children so aggressively that his own ORR Director, Cindy Huang, herself a career migrant activist tried to blow the whistle on him. Instead, she resigned under duress. https://t.co/f52Vh3Mj56
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Overall, Karen Bass has a mild-mannered image. Her mishandling of the LA Wildfires caused her to be labeled as a DEI mayor. I think that is a mischaracterization. She is terrifyingly effective at what she does best: leftist activism. She is entrenched into the system at a global level. She mishandled the wildfires not because she was incompetent, but she doesn't care about LA residents.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber In fact, her Ghana trip during the wildfires that she was so criticized for ? She wasn't there to party. She was there as a representative of the Biden administration to honor the inauguration of their new President! https://t.co/behRzFP3qU
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber TL;DR, Karen Bass was raised from cradle to be a part of the globalist network - and continues to ignore the actual needs of LA residents to promote leftism at a global stage. / Thread end.

Elon, You carry more weight than most people can begin to understand. You've changed the trajectory of human progress in ways we’re still catching up to. I can only imagine how isolating that has to be, especially when others refuse to see the simple math or truth. I feel frustration too watching what's happening in our country and what lies ahead economically. I tend to pull back and go quiet when it gets to be too much. Maybe that's why I haven't been posting much lately at a subconscious level, either. I don't always know what to make of what either President Trump or you shared today. But I want to let you know this: you matter. I'm not talking about your companies or your contributions. You, the person, matter.

My response as a very old, very tired disabled veteran & grandma): @elonmusk @POTUS PLEASE READ TILL THE END. Knock it off. If you were my sons, I'd put both of you in a closed room till you learned to communicate with each other respectfully. You were friends & when friends disagree, they have a discussion. We, the people, are grateful to Elon for all he & DOGE have done, but that does NOT give you a free pass to be disrespectful to the President that we, the people, duly elected (& FYI a majority of us voted for TRUMP all 3 times, way before Elon was in the picture). DJT has closed our borders & stopped the invasion by illegals; he is deporting illegals that shouldn't be here; he ended DEI BS; our military is now focused on war fighting & not pronoun BS; he has brought trillions of investment back to America; ended the PAK/INDIA conflict before it could escalate... TRUMP has been in office LESS THAN 4 MONTHS & has already accomplished more than most do in a full term. Yes, Elon, we are grateful for your dedication to eliminating corruption & waste. However, throwing a public temper tantrum isn't accomplishing anything. And if you thought you or DJT could 100% change the DC CESSPOOL & the way the idiots in Congress operate/function in less than 120 days, you were mistaken. This tantrum is unbecoming... Loyalty & honor are judged by how one reacts when things don't go your way.... it's not difficult to be loyal & honorable when the going is easy...

Story time: a few years ago, I was part of a message board with maybe ~20 active members and the newest one was always …. a little off. When he posted a big pseudotechnical missive on why Signal was insecure and why we should be using popular MMORPG venues to do communications, something hit the spidey sense. I looked at his posting history and he only posted during work hours. I accused him of being a fed and, it got to him, because he never logged into the site again. Despite being one of the most active members for years. He was always posting “bait” … as in saying borderline things designed to provoke a response. Think along the lines of “when do we stop talking and start taking action.” This board was mostly retired scientists. Not extremist in any way. If this guy was indeed a fed, I can only conclude our intelligence agencies have far too much time and money.

🧾🇺🇸 We're Not Broke Because of Math; We're Broke Because of Corruption This week, Elon Musk declared his intent to step away from politics, citing that he's "done enough" and sees no reason to spend his money on politics. This has fired off a lot of speculation. I haven't commented on the Big Beautiful Bill until now, mostly because I think both sides are right. It's not enough. But it is also the best we're going to get for a long while. And that's the crux of the problem. The most "responsible" plan anyone can come up with still adds trillions to our debt, just at a slightly slower rate. That's the hard truth. Even with the most disruptive leader in modern history, this is where we landed. Interest rates are creeping up again. After Moody's downgrade, mortgage rates topped 7%, and 30-year Treasuries crossed 5%. In 2023, we collected just under $2.2 trillion in federal income taxes. At 5%, debt interest alone eats up 80% of that. What's left barely covers anything. And the rest of our revenue sources? Mostly payroll taxes, locked up in programs we can't touch. We are out of money. We are out of time. And still, we act like it's not a problem. I'm not saying this to sound hopeless. But we have to face the truth: this is happening because of a culture of corruption. Both parties know where the fat is. But even the ones who campaign on responsibility won't touch foreign aid, defense waste, or pet projects. They'd rather swing at Medicaid. This isn't a math problem; it's a cultural one. So that’s where my focus is going. Who benefits. Who protects them. Who looks the other way. Because we don't fix this by balancing a budget. We fix it by telling the truth: loudly and clearly, until the rot has nowhere left to hide. Al Capone didn't fall because the system held him accountable. He fell because someone followed the money. I'm going to keep doing that.

🚨 ANNOUNCING NEW TOOL: NED NETWORK NAVIGATOR (BETA) 🚨 🧠 AI-POWERED. CONGRESSIONALLY FUNDED. HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. I just shipped a crawler-indexer that rips apart the National Endowment for Democracy’s flagship Journal of Democracy archive — then stitches every author, NGO, and article summary into one laser-focused query interface. This is more than search; this is x-raying a decades-old influence machine at machine scale. Here’s what it does: ✅ Link the Whole Web – One click surfaces every author ↔ NGO ↔ article connection, exposing the revolving door between grant-hungry nonprofits, State-adjacent think tanks, and “independent” scholars. ✅ Instant Context Summaries – AI distills thousands of pages so you see the thesis, not the fluff. No more slogging through academic euphemisms. ✅ Prefix Hunter Mode – Type “color rev” and catch every variant (“color revolution,” “color-coded revolutions,” etc.) that editors bury in footnotes. ✅ Role Detector – Flags when an author quietly moonlights on an NGO board funded by NED dollars. ✅ NGO Cross-Check – Pull EIN links straight to ProPublica filings; follow the money in two clicks. ✅ Source-First Design – Every claim traces back to the PDF or http://muse.jhu.org page, so NED can’t cry “misinformation.” Why this matters: For 40 years NED has branded regime-change lobbying as “democracy promotion,” funneling your tax money into overseas activists while scolding domestic populists as threats. Their own journal is the narrative factory — academics launder talking points that later justify sanctions, censorship, or NATO expansions. By making the entire archive searchable, we finally turn the microscope back on the operatives who insist they’re safeguarding freedom. This is what happens when you weaponize code instead of platitudes. 👇 Dig in, map the network, and decide for yourself: [link in next post]

@MikeBenzCyber Take note of the reference to cooperation between Open Society and NDI in the link above. As I mentioned, the U.S. government works with Soros. Try searching for Open Society, Soros, etc.
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@MikeBenzCyber And look at all the Open Society Foundation members who are NED authors: https://datarepublican.com/ned/?keywords=ndi&mode=NGO&id=Open+Society+Foundations+%28OSI+%2F+FPOS%29

🧵THREAD: Who’s really behind the protests? Today in Manhattan, an "emergency protest" popped up with a professionally printed banner reading: "𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅’𝒗𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒔? 𝑵𝒐𝒘’𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆!" This is treading close to an incitement for violence. Let's break down who organized these protests, and who finances these organizers. I'm putting together the thread as I go, so thanks for the patience.👇
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
The Manhattan protest had several co-organizers, and we'll go through them one by one. The foremost was Working Families Party: https://t.co/pTtKO9b5kd
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Working Families Party is a far-left political party associated with the 501(c)(4) Working Families Organization, which is founded by Dan Cantor, an ACORN veteran. It is also the political party under which Letitia James was elected to the New York City council and closely associated with Bill de Blasio.

As for financing, State Democracy Project, Tides Foundation (a DAF), and Open Society Action Fund are its top donors. https://t.co/PehknF7qO7
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
And State Democracy Project in turn is financed by Tides Foundation, Crankstart Foundation (family foundation), and Open Society Foundations. So, same backers: Tides Foundation and George Soros. https://t.co/gwsLUbRTTg
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
George Soros has given Working Families Organization nearly $20,000,000 over the past 5 years alone. https://t.co/0EYx65o5Jr
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
These were not the only co-organizers. Make The Road Action and New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice and NYIC Action were in attendance as well. https://t.co/pAErghnl34
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
No surprise, Make the Road Action is funded by George Soros as well. https://t.co/jrKNyPHRDi
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
It is also funded by Sixteen Thirty Fund, another Soros funded NGO. https://t.co/2gLqhPnm0p
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
Reddit post mentions NYIC Action, Popular Democracy, Indivisible BK, Target Majority NYC ( @reddit_lies - do you know anything about AgreeableOnion1453 who made the original post ) https://t.co/UwHb0PNEjp
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies NYIC Action gets funding from DAFs - and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and Vera Institute of Justice. Both receive government funding, particularly Vera which is mostly government financed. https://t.co/8qpTLsgjsO
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies Indivisible of course gets quite a bit of direct Soros funding. Indivisible Brooklyn appears to be one of their local groups. https://t.co/rClkkHmxgn
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies Target Majority NYC is also an Indivisible subsidiary. I'm trying to trace the mastermind, but most common threads lead back to Open Society Foundation / George Soros as funancing. https://t.co/q8OTNyZPLo
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies Allegedly, the Congressional representatives who visited the ICE facility were not coordinating with any protests. https://t.co/4jaKZso3c5
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
The Working Families Party appears to be the lead organizer and is explicitly using the "fight back" language in its media communications. So the leadership of WFP appears to be behind this. The Democratic party is quite supportive, with Hakeem Jeffries saying "keep your hands off."
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies As for identifying specific people, Maurice Mitchell of WFP has been quoted in press releases. https://t.co/cAuTlZ7AfA
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
However, my guess as to the actual mastermind is co-NY Director Ann Maria Archilla - because she was the former Co-Executive Director of Center for Popular Democracy and Make The Road New York. These are two organizations mentioned in the Reddit post that was posted this morning and I haven't seen them elsewhere.

@reddit_lies This is the same woman who confronted Jeff Flake in the elevator over the Kavanaugh nomination positioning herself as a sexual assault victim. https://t.co/kFYDXDAPe1
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies She was invited to join AOC as a guest of honor at the 2018 State of the Union address. https://t.co/Db8TSUpKVr
@DataRepublican - DataRepublican (small r)
@reddit_lies There are several others who could have been involved, but none as strong a match. So, I'll end my thread here.🫡
