While the Democrats and their media lapdogs scream about “foreign interference,” it turns out they’re the ones opening the floodgates. Thanks to a bombshell report dropped last fall by Americans for Public Trust (APT), we now know that tens of millions of foreign dollars may have quietly poured into American ballot initiative campaigns in the lead-up to the 2024 elections—tilting the playing field while the so-called watchdogs looked the other way.
APT exposed a gaping loophole that’s been hiding in plain sight: foreign nationals slipping cash to 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations, who then spend it advocating for leftist causes on state ballots. It’s a sleight-of-hand operation that bypasses traditional election laws—and it’s no accident. Groups like Heritage Action, Honest Elections Project, and a slew of grassroots patriots saw the threat and got to work, pushing reforms to slam this back door shut before foreign billionaires could buy their way into our democracy.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund—a George Soros-adjacent dark money juggernaut—sits at the center of the scandal. Heavily funded by Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, Sixteen Thirty spent nearly $79 million across 33 state initiatives between 2017 and 2023, winning almost 90% of their battles. Abortion on demand, green boondoggles, ballot-harvesting expansions—you name the radical cause, Sixteen Thirty was there, throwing foreign cash at it. And in 2024 alone? They ramped up to $130 million, all while preaching about “protecting democracy.”
Thankfully, groups like APT, Heritage Action, and Honest Elections Project mobilized an army of grassroots activists to sound the alarm. Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland testified in capitols nationwide, laying bare how the left was laundering foreign cash through shady nonprofits to hijack the ballot box. And once state lawmakers and everyday Americans learned the truth, they moved swiftly to shut it down. The grassroots enthusiasm was palpable, with conservatives leading the charge to protect the sanctity of American elections.
Jason Snead of Honest Elections Project confirmed that support for closing the loophole was overwhelmingly bipartisan—except, of course, in Ohio, where every Democrat legislator shamefully voted to keep foreign cash flowing into American politics. Janae Stracke from Heritage Action emphasized that the real power came from everyday patriots—20,000 “sentinels” strong—who wrote letters, testified before lawmakers, and pressured politicians to finally do their jobs.
While the grassroots led the charge, groups like Honest Elections Project provided the heavy intellectual firepower, offering model legislation to outlaw foreign interference once and for all. Their templates ensured that ballot campaigns would have to affirm no foreign dollars were being used, closing a loophole the left had shamelessly exploited for years.
Of course, liberals and their media allies tried to muddy the waters. Groups like Sixteen Thirty Fund laughably claimed they were simply helping Americans “expand their rights”—as if foreign-funded election rigging is some kind of patriotic duty. Meanwhile, left-leaning outlets attacked groups like APT for supposedly accepting “dark money” themselves, conveniently ignoring the fact that transparency starts by keeping foreign operatives out of our elections entirely.
Some leftists even grudgingly admitted the problem. Montana Environmental Information Center and even Democratic FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub raised concerns about foreign-owned corporations influencing U.S. politics through legal loopholes. And they’re right—but they conveniently ignore that the worst offenders are their own liberal dark money machines using these loopholes to bankroll radical ballot initiatives.
It’s about time we shut down the globalists’ ATM machine. Foreign billionaires should never have a say in what happens on Main Street, U.S.A. Thanks to the tireless work of conservative watchdogs and grassroots activists, Americans are waking up to the threat and taking our democracy back—one loophole at a time.
President Trump’s America First movement wasn’t just about securing our borders from foreign invaders. It’s about securing our elections from foreign influence, too. And make no mistake: when the left screams about “saving democracy,” what they really mean is protecting their foreign-funded slush funds. Real patriots know better—and we’re not backing down.
