News you can use, ActBlue’s stunning third quarter: $1.5 billion in donations

Democratic candidates and left-leaning groups raised $1.5 billion through ActBlue over the last three months — a record-smashing total that reveals the overwhelming financial power small-dollar donors have unleashed up and down the ballot ahead of the 2020 election.

From July through September, 6.8 million donors made 31.4 million contributions through ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s favored online donation platform, averaging $47 per donation. More than 14,223 campaigns and organizations benefited from the surge in donations, the largest single quarter in the platform’s 15-year history, according to figures shared first with POLITICO. Just in September, ActBlue processed $758 million.

holy habitations batman! call the press, call the police, call century 21!

It's a ham-fisted attempt, no doubt inaugurated by the nimble mind that brought us, Obamagate, rampant voter fraud and Sharpiegate... None other than, Hair Fuhrer.

Then yesterday, the NY Post, a clumsy right-wing gossip rag at best, had another one of its obviously contrived headlines muted on Facebook and Twitter for dubious reporting and unsupported fact accuracy.

An excerpt... Note that this is from a fellow Burisma board member, who really isn't all that interested in appearing before a House committee...

He thanks the younger Biden "for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent (sic) some time together. It's realty (sic) an honour and pleasure."

Lol, the syntax gives it away as an amateurish attempt to write with a fake Ukrainian accent. The old hanging 'T'.

I see Gulliani's money claw-marks all over this caper.

i'd say when you're looking for conservative thinkers who are bright enough to hold their own in the upper echelons of the legal profession, it's a pretty small sample size to begin with.

There will be 3 Supreme Court Justices;

John Roberts, Brent Kavanaugh, and Amy Coeny Barrett

who were ALL involved as Republicans in the Bush VS Gore

decision that awarded the Presidency to the loser of the

popular vote, Bush, in that particular election.

Coincidence or by design???

The hypocrisy is outrageous, I'm offended to my core belief by religion, all religions--- I don't discriminate.

I'm astonished that US is bound to this crap in 2020. Was it somehow misread in the Constitution that everyone has to pick a religion with which to identify before entering public life? Surely it merely states that the US Govt. has to be unambiguously open to all and equally tolerant?

Seems to me, and using the Court's own president, I shouldn't have to be bound by any decision handed down by a court that has identified itself as being composed of individuals to whom religion is a guiding force...

And there's your naked hypocrisy. No supreme court in any society that values inclusion and equality for all, should have people of faith on its bench.

As a devout Atheist, I should be allowed to have my legal interpretations deliberated by a court bereft of any religious consideration.

Sucks living in a Theocracy, unless it happens to be one like the US... One that doesn't scream it from the rooftops, like Iran or Saudi.

Have no delusions, if the highest court in your land is defined by the religions of its judges, you live in a species of Theocracy.

Roberts plays the long game and the end game is at hand.
