(Substack)—Since 2023, some in alternative media (including us) have been calling for a full investigation into the shenanigans of ActBlue and any nefarious forces utilizing the platform for illicit purposes. Now, Republican members of Congress are on the case and calling on members of the Trump administration to help them out.
On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, we will be covering this article from The Federalist and highlighting what all of this means for addressing massive, widespread voter fraud ahead of the elections to come. If we don’t get this fixed while Republicans are in control, they will likely never have this level of control again.
Amid Chaos At ActBlue, House Republicans Seek Answers About ‘Potentially Fraudulent And Illicit Financial Activity’
Republican congressmen are seeking answers about “potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity” through the Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue. Meanwhile, top officials are fleeing the company.
Republicans Rep. Bryan Steil, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Rep. James Comer, chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Rep. Nick Langworthy wrote Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on March 10, seeking information about suspicious activity through ActBlue.
“The Committees remain concerned with recent reports suggesting fraud and evasion of campaign finance law by individuals exploiting online contribution platforms, especially ActBlue,” they wrote in the letter to Bessent.
The congressmen requested all “Suspicious Activity Reports,” “filed or relating to transactions” since Jan. 1, 2023, containing the term “ActBlue,” “which relate to money laundering, counterfeit credit/debit card, credit card or debit card fraud, false statements, wire transfer fraud, or identity theft.”
ActBlue is currently fraught with “internal chaos,” according to The New York Times. The platform’s “senior staff” began resigning in late February, with seven top officials leaving the platform and “a remaining lawyer suggesting he faced internal retaliation.”
Steil said in a statement to The Federalist that he is “committed to making our elections more secure.”
“Our investigation into ActBlue has revealed that there have been weaknesses in our online campaign finance systems, and we need to implement key safeguards,” Steil said. “I’m eager to review the Suspicious Activity Reports from the Treasury Department soon.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
