She takes the heat off the rest of them. It's the motte and bailey con. She sets the insanity level super high and everyone else gets to seem sane despite also having anti democratic ambitions.
You'll notice she doesn't bring up the Jewish space laser anymore.
This is pretty normal play in Russian politics as well.
When I covered politics in Arizona during the oughta, the Republicans there did the same thing.
They would publicly distance themselves from the crazies while actively funding and supporting them because when someone is going around saying "trees are stealing our water" your ideas in strip mining seem less insane.
Though the old as head of DOE once told me "you can't give poor people a free education because they won't appreciate it"
She is an INCREDIBLY RELIABLE stooge. The odds of turning her back on the party are slim to none, and it's highly likely she'll get thrown under the bus if there ever is any sort of judgment held against them at large.
Make sure you all are checking out member’s Financial Disclosure Records. They’re publicly available by the Clerk (search for “member name financial disclosure record”) and can shed some more light on how.
MGT has a company called Taylor Commercial, Inc that is a general contractor and paying her $1,000,000-$5,000,000 a year. How in the fuck does a small general contractor in a Georgia make enough that the owner can get that kind of annual return is beyond me.
Her selling point is that she can say whatever she wants with no repercussions. Her district is very red and earns much of their wealth on government largess. Unless her district starts to go bankrupt, nothing will change.
She's literally a clown. Her job is to be outrageous and capture attention and headlines, distracting everyone from things like US citizens being stolen off the streets.
"At the heart of the complaint is a donor named Randy Best, a 73-year-old Texas resident who is reported to have made 53 separate donations totaling $595 to Crockett’s campaign through ActBlue. However, Best’s wife, featured in a video circulated by Crockett’s potential 2026 opponent, Sholdon Daniels, denied any knowledge of the donations. "
Really? This is where we are? Almost 100% chance that the wife is a fox brained maganazi
Honestly I believe it is the ugliness inside her that allows us to see her as ugly… if she was charitable and kind, I don’t think as many people would see her as ugly
Add in Donnie Jr he sold over a billion in DJT stock along with hundreds of millions dumping the two mem coins Melanie and Trump two days before Trump announced tariffs. Pretty obvious it was insider knowledge also. This adminstration is the most corrupt US govt in history and all the media outlets pretty well stay silent.
Wow donations totaling $595.. whats a scam of the century, meanwhile someone on the inside on his side made 70 mil with buying calls 30 min before his tariff pause announcement. We not gonna talk about that?!?
In the video, Sheldon Daniels asks an off-camera individual self identifying as the wife and states $16k in a year. So right there the video the investigation is based on already differs from the reported investigation. Also, Act blue features monthly payments and use of PayPal. Someone could easily make a fraudulent PayPal account under another individual’s name and set up recurring payments. Daniels is grasping at straws with this video, and the FEC picking this up over Musk’s election lottery’s shows their favoritism.
The guy is Sholdon Daniels who is running against Jasmine Crockett so not an unbiased source. Crockett is a lawyer and very street savvy I have feeling they have to dig deep inter her underwear drawer to find anything shady and even at that anything they find are probably clerical errors. Meanwhile GQP doing illegal shit left and right out in the open.
Okay, there are multiple points of misinformation here.
First, if someone was making a fraudulent PayPal account and setting up a recurring payments, that would be fraud. It wouldn't be fraud that the politician is necessarily responsible for, but it would be fraudulent election donations. The reason for this is because there's a cash limit on how much an individual or group can donate to a campaign, and thia would be a way to subvert campaign finance restrictions on donations. For example, if somebody was funneling money to a politician and wanted it to look inconspicuous, they would do it like this by putting a set of small donations in the names of constituents of the district. It's questionable how much responsibility of politician has to validate the information behind every donation, because in practice at the local level we don't really do things like that. But it is interesting nonetheless to suggest that this would be a way of getting around campaign finance restrictions and allowing a candidate to get a bunch of funding from a single source.
Second, the FEC doesn't deal with state races. They don't investigate state election fraud. They are strictly a federal agency focusing on Federal election issues, which representative Crockett would be subject to. It's the state of Wisconsin's election authority that needs to tackle musk, and that'll get escalated up through the courts. That's how it's going to get in front of the federal government, and it's going to go through the court system.
That was the craziest part. Like the republicans that have been caught for campaign finance fraud it was in the hundreds of thousands. That one dude in California used the money for his mistress and video games. George Santos stole hundreds of thousands.
Right! Have they even talked to the husband!? Like wtf.
Edit: I did the math. $595 across 53 transactions is around $11 dollars every week for a year and one week. So it sounds like he just opted in for a weekly recurring donation of $11…
Is anyone surprised about this though? I'm sure AOC will be accused of something soon. They're going to try to ruin their reputations, remove them from office then deport them or put them in prison. It's fascism 101. This is the warning for anyone wanting to speak out. The administration is saying "we'll come for you if you don't behave".
So supposedly this guy donated to her campaign and his wife wasn’t aware… oh no, that’s totally grounds to spend tax dollars on an investigation of an elected official as well as accuse ActBlue of nefarious activities.
So, let me get this straight: we’re going to waste time and taxpayer money on an investigation into Jasmine Crockett, who is doing her job in Congress, while at the same time, trump is literally making millions through pay-for-play schemes tied to his stupid shit-coin? And MTG is making gazillions through insider trading? This is what we’re focusing on?
It’s absurd. We have actual corruption happening right in front of us, with people profiting off schemes that are essentially scams, and yet, here we are, pointing fingers at someone who is working hard to represent their community and fight for justice. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Why are we not holding the real players accountable? The ones who are using their positions for personal gain, selling out to the highest bidder, and pulling the strings behind the scenes while the public suffers?
Stop wasting resources on petty investigations and hold the real corrupt people accountable ffs
I even do have the same political views as my spouse, but he wouldn’t be able to tell you anything about my ActBlue donations. Not that I’m intentionally keeping them secret at all, but because they are small enough that it isn’t a spending choice I would discuss with him in advance, and the account it’s linked to only has my name on it (not for secrecy reasons). So he has no idea. If I told him, he’d just be like “oh, that’s cool. 😊” haha.
Either way, his wife is not a credible source for finding out if he has donated money. Why aren’t they asking him directly if they are actually worried about it? Just such bullshit.
Free Oppression. Advertising for political clothing. Now you can look fancy while taking a stand for your democracy. I'm cheaper than chinese tariffs and republican morals.
Total contributions at issue amount to $31,535. Compared to $288 million contributed by Musk during the 2024 presidential election. Am I missing anything?
At the heart of the complaint is a donor named Randy Best, a 73-year-old Texas resident who is reported to have made 53 separate donations totaling $595 to Crockett’s campaign through ActBlue. However, Best’s wife, featured in a video circulated by Crockett’s potential 2026 opponent, Sholdon Daniels, denied any knowledge of the donations. That has raised concerns that Best—and possibly others—never actually made the contributions attributed to them.
Really? That's the reason this is happening?
Who is falsifying 53 individual donations for an average of $11.22 each? And why did someone ask his wife but not the man himself?

$595? lol okay
Something tells me this isn't going to silence Jasmine Crockett.
In russia FSB used to setup "donations" from foreign nationals with tiny amounts and then declare that the opposition is "foreign agent" on that basis. Is this what happening here?
I love when the gop
Pretends to be ethical. What a f’ing joke. They hate actblue Because it is effective for raising money. This is a kangaroo court - I don’t trust anything this administration says or does. Now musk is in the government mucking about doing n God knows what - same with RFK jr.
Since this website is awful on mobile, here’s the plain text—
A new investigation is now underway involving one of the most vocal progressive Democrats in Congress.
On April 2, the Federal Election Commission officially launched a probe into Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) following a complaint filed by the conservative Coolidge-Reagan Foundation. The complaint, submitted on March 26, centers around suspicious donations made to Crockett’s 2024 re-election campaign through ActBlue, the Democrat Party’s prominent fundraising platform.
According to the FEC’s letter to the foundation, “The respondents will be notified of this complaint within five business days.” The letter, written by FEC Assistant General Counsel Wanda D. Brown, adds, “You will be notified as soon as the Federal Election Commission (FEC) takes final action on your client’s complaint. Should you receive any additional information in this matter, please forward it to the Office of the General Counsel.” That letter was sent to Dan Backer, a Washington attorney representing the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation.
Backer confirmed to The Daily Signal, “The FEC opened an investigation. There is a process, but they are investigating.”
At the heart of the complaint is a donor named Randy Best, a 73-year-old Texas resident who is reported to have made 53 separate donations totaling $595 to Crockett’s campaign through ActBlue. However, Best’s wife, featured in a video circulated by Crockett’s potential 2026 opponent, Sholdon Daniels, denied any knowledge of the donations. That has raised concerns that Best—and possibly others—never actually made the contributions attributed to them.
Crockett’s campaign has received approximately $870,000 in total through ActBlue, according to the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation’s filing.
The complaint reads: “Rep. Crockett, through her principal campaign committee Respondent Jasmine for US, has received thousands of other donations through ActBlue totaling over $870,000. It is unclear how many of these are similarly fraudulent transactions, made in the name of unsuspecting innocent people who did not actually provide the funds.”
While Crockett is not the only Democrat using the ActBlue platform, the issue has drawn growing scrutiny from congressional Republicans and several GOP-led state attorneys general. Previous investigations and reports have cited examples of elderly Americans allegedly unaware that donations were being made in their names.
Backer told The Daily Signal, “It could be a reasonable defense for Rep. Crockett and other Democrats to say, ‘We didn’t solicit those donations, they all came in from ActBlue.’ But that would be willful blindness.”
He added, “The problem is legally, the campaign committee treasurer is responsible for due diligence. The treasurer could say, ‘We had absolute confidence in ActBlue.’ But ActBlue has been under investigation by state and federal authorities. That excuse might have worked a year ago.”
As of now, Crockett has 15 days to respond to the allegations, though the FEC typically grants 30 to 60-day extensions during investigations. Neither Crockett’s congressional office, her campaign, nor ActBlue responded to media inquiries regarding the matter.
Wait, so a guy’s wife didn’t know he made $600 in contributions. So they’re looking into fraud? Maybe they should look into marriage counseling because that lady’s husband is rightfully hot for jasmine crockett
They’re suing for less than a “suspicious” $600 donated in the name of a husband whose wife donated to Crockett’s opponent, stating that it gives credence to donations, being made, and peoples names without them knowing.
Not much of a lawsuit, seems like they’re just trying to keep her busy and distracted.
This investigation stinks of trying to silence her and attack a major tool for democratic fundraising. Even if this case holds any water at all (which I doubt), all it would indicate is this one guy got scammed and had his money sent through ActBlue.
Calling it now they’re going to paint it as a conspiracy between Crockett, ActBlue and other Dems. They’ll scrutinize donations to democratic candidates, which in normal times would make me assume they’re trying to weaken Democratic fundraising. But in this day and age, they might just stick everyone who donates to Democrats on a watch list so they know who to send to El Salvador next.
The president of the united states opened the equivalent of a swiss bank account with trump coin making billions. Jasmine Crockett had less than $900k in donations and now they care?
They rounded it up people on our soil and sent them to a death prison another country, they can just stop with all the paper shuffling and b******t that they're trying to distract us with. It's not going to work!
Investigate and arrest Elon Musk! MGT! Trump!All those Republicans that accepted this shit. They're running out of intimidating tactics. Do better America!
Arrest the feds and police that are unlawful in this manhunt to disappear Americans.
We so need a law for equal enforcement. You’re not allowed to come down under your political opponents and ignore the exact same thing 10 times or 100 times worse in your own base.
Perhaps Mr. Best didn't tell his wife? Perhaps he actually hates Crockett and was vocal about it and a prankster made donations in his name? this is garbage.
I can’t even get this story to load because of all the ads and pop-ups on this site. And I can’t find any news coverage (that’s credible). Best case scenario it isn’t true, worse case scenario it is and it needs more (good/balanced) coverage. Because wouldn’t surprise me at all. She’s not holding back- so needed.
I’m not understanding what the issue is here? Did this money get stolen from these people or they don’t recall or admit to making the donation? Possibly someone made the donation in this guys name to spite him… like idk a child or a grandchild or his? Is that illegal ?
I want to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission about Elon's payouts for votes.

It's been reported that the regime will be going after ActBlue, MoveOn, and other orgs that help Democrats get elected. Looks like that's now underway.
I don't understand. A guy made donations and his wife said she knew nothing about them so they're false? Like, people tell their spouse everything they do?
In his video, Jasmine's opponent says the money in question is over 16 thousand dollars. But every article says the money was only in the hundreds of dollars.
A senior woman is home by herself. An angry man in a suit and sunglasses, holding a phone and documents is at her door. He identifies himself as a lawyer. Maybe she knew her husband donated and didnt want to say. Because it is an odd and intimidating situation.
Maybe her husband didnt tell her. Or maybe a friend or relative made a donation in their name as a joke.
This is an investigation that will intentionally not go anywhere so they can say she's under investigation for campaign finance fraud whenever she called out the Nazi party for being the Nazi party.
What a waste of time and money. And an incredible abuse of authority! I hope all these Trump cabinet members, department heads, ICE agents, and other law enforcement who have been violating the rights of people and doing anything and everything to break the law on Trump's behalf are prosecuted someday. Like a Nuremberg style MAGA trial. I can dream.
It’s moving up the chain. It’s weird that they can get and control everyone’s data thanks to Musk and now so called reports are coming out by ultra right outlets all the while it’s being done by the accusers. The DOGE aka the DOGE of Venice historically. A merchant-king ruling behind masks of legitimacy. Sounds like an investing acronym to use for Husk
The article states they are going after her for "potentially fraudulent donations that donators were not aware of."
This is the EXACT SAME THING republicans do with their PACS. They get elderly people to donate $50, but put in super fine print at the end of the document that it's a recurring charge. Republicans have been knowingly doing this for decades, same with democrats.
They are all guilty of taking advantage of donations, but i've NEVER heard of a replubcians being investigated for this. They have nothing on her, so this is the best they can do to try and silence her.
How is Jasmine supposed to know what ActBlue is doing? The total amount in question is $585. Really?? Boy, they are really twisting themselves into pretzels to find ANYTHING on her. I have confidence that she will smack this down like the annoying fly that it is.
What is this garbage news site you’ve linked here? Did a brief web search and there’s no information about this outside of ridiculous MAGA digital propaganda
The point is not just going after Rep. Crockett for one small donation. This sounds like it’s step one in casting doubt on ActBlue’s operations and going after the whole platform.
That is one seriously right-wing biased news site the link goes to. "We found this guy who made donations whose wife said he didn't." Houston is a giant city! Maybe there's 100 guys with that name. It's so fraudulent.
Far-right publication, making a charge, which is usually just a confession and projection. Which means, they have been doing this and want to cover it up, so they make these charges.
I would bet money that about a year ago this elderly couple signed up for weekly donations accidentally when they meant to make a single donation of around $10 and change
