About damn time!
Three House committees on Tuesday subpoenaed ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones for documents in the panels’ probe of the online fundraising platform used for Democratic campaigns.
The chairmen of the House committees on Administration, Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform sent the subpoena on Tuesday, requesting Wallace-Jones provide the documents by Aug. 12.
“In light of allegations that online fundraising platforms that serve as conduits for political donations have accepted fraudulent donations from domestic and foreign sources, the Committees are conducting oversight to inform potential legislative reforms,” the chairmen wrote.
“To further our oversight and legislative reform efforts, on April 2, 2025, the Committees requested documents and communications related to internal misconduct and whistleblower retaliation at ActBlue. Although ActBlue initially provided documents voluntarily, it has since suspended its cooperation with the Committees. Therefore, the Committee on House Administration must resort to compulsory process to obtain the requested materials.”...
They will get the documents which have not been shredded or Bleach-Bitted.
But it will be fun to watch.

Another distraction by Trump.
Let’s focus on the real issue.
—On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, in a departure from his previous calls for transparency, announced that he would not ask for a vote on whether the files pertaining to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein should be released. Only a week before, on the right-wing podcast “The Benny Show,” he had said, “It’s a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it.” This week, he changed his tune, and at a press conference, he said, “We need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing.” He allowed that should there be a “neccesary or appropriate” need for further congressional action, he would look at it. But then said emphatically, “I don’t think we’re at that point yet, because we agree with the president.”
It’s impossible to truly know what prompted Johnson’s about-face, but it’s worth noting that he has long been connected to the New Apostolic Reformation, a charismatic evangelical movement that teaches that Christians are called to take “dominion” over all aspects of society, including the government. Johnson has publicly acknowledged that NAR has had a “profound influence” on his life, according to a report issued by the Congressional Freethought Caucus last year.—
So the NAR affiliation prevents Johnson from calling for.........what, exactly?
Still in your middle-school foofoodust mode, eh?
It’s called separation of church and state.
You say that but I don't think you know what that means.
Spoken like a Dad29 chump.
