Dems Frustrated, Donors Pulling Back Cash

As President Donald Trump drains the swamp and DOGE chief Elon Musk roots out waste, fraud, and abuse, even the frustrated opposition is resorting to cuts on funding: Their donors are turning off the spigots.

Liberals activist groups like Center for American Progress, End Citizens United, Run for Something, and LGBTQ activists GLSEN and Human Rights Campaign are cutting staffs as the donor money is drying up – a common cycle after losing a presidential election, but The New York Times interviewed experts saying “this year is different.”

Unlike 2017 after Trump first won and Democrats piled on the cash to obstruct and oppose, Trump has a road peppered with far fewer billionaire speed bumps as he moves forward with his agenda at maximum speed.
