Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
A new House Judiciary report just dropped internal ActBlue Slack messages and training materials showing staff were directed to "look for reasons to accept contributions" rather than screen them — despite ActBlue having flagged at least 22 fraud campaigns, including from foreign sources. In Texas, an undercover video catches a Talarico-aligned Super PAC operative admitting his own $25-per-vote scheme is "shady as f***" and "a roundabout way of paying people for their votes." Meanwhile the DOJ dropped fresh fraud arrests today, the Fed just raised interest rates for the first time in three years, and Congress is scrambling — with zero consensus — on what to do about AI.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- A House Judiciary Committee report reveals internal ActBlue Slack messages and training materials directing fraud-prevention staff to "look for reasons to accept contributions" rather than scrutinize them — even after the platform detected at least 22 significant fraud campaigns, several from foreign sources
- Undercover video obtained by Townhall catches Texas Majority PAC organizing manager Sky McAdams admitting their $25-per-Zoom-class "Paid Relational Program" boosting Talarico is "a roundabout way of paying people for their votes" and "shady as f***" — the PAC has already paid $500,000 to run the scheme
- The DOJ announces fresh fraud arrests today, including a Culver City nonprofit founder charged in a $7.5 million homelessness fraud scheme that allegedly funded a nightclub, a bingo hall, and a luxury lifestyle, plus 12 individuals charged in a separate $10 million daycare fraud scheme
- The Federal Reserve raises interest rates a quarter point to 3.75%-4% — the first hike in three years — as Chairman Kevin Warsh cites persistently sticky inflation driven largely by oil price shocks
- Congress scrambles to respond to AI amid dire warnings from industry leaders — but Speaker Johnson wants self-regulation while Hakeem Jeffries demands immediate action, and even Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders found themselves on the same side calling for restrictions
