George Soros quietly donated $140 million to political causes in 2021

• George Soros†backed nonprofit invested at least $140 million into politically charged nonprofits just one year before the midterm elections.
  

• Those donations are on top of the more than $170 million Soros personally contributed during the 2022 midterm election cycle to help Democratic campaigns and political action committees.
  

• The Soros nonprofit separately donated approximately $60 million to charitable 501©(3)s which are prohibited from participating in politics.
  

A nonprofit financed by billionaire George Soros quietly donated $140 million to advocacy organizations and ballot initiatives in 2021, plus another $60 million to like-minded charities.

Soros, who personally donated $170 million during the 2022 midterms to Democratic candidates and campaigns on top of that, spread the additional largess through the Open Society Policy Center — a 501©(4) nonprofit that falls under the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations network, according to a copy of its 2021 tax filing, which was obtained by CNBC and is the most recent data available. The Open Society Policy Center also doled out $138 million to advocacy groups and causes in 2020. Two of Soros†children sit on its board, the tax filings and its website show.

The donations bring Soros†contributions to political campaigns and causes since January 2020 to roughly half a billion dollars — at the least — most of it steered through dark money nonprofit groups and going largely toward political causes aligned with the Democratic Party.

Soros†nonprofit donations donâ€t always go directly to political causes. The funds sometimes flow from one of his nonprofits, then to another, before being spent on the advertising, organizing and social media campaigns that directly reach voters.

Many of the Open Society Policy Centerâ€s 2021 donations werenâ€t necessarily earmarked to help sway the midterm elections, according to the foundationâ€s website. At the same time, Tom Watson, an editorial director at the Open Society Foundations, conceded in an email to CNBC that “there are definitely some OSPC grants that went to organizations working to combat voter suppression, support voter registration and expand civic participation.” Those are all core Democratic principals.

yep.  He can take his whole family with him.

The Dems rely on it even more but their rank and file are angry and violent and want names so they can attack.

This.  And they have shown an much greater ability to execute

What else was in the bill? We know how the Dems love to add completely unrelated things into long ass bills that nobody reads. For example, why did the omnibus bill need millions of funding for a hiking trail to be named after Michelle Obama? Or an office to be named after Pelosi? That bill was over 4000 pages.

Start doing singular bills that take a few pages at most. The House and Senate could go over these line by line, debate and clarify. Citizens could go through them as well without reading or searching through hundreds or thousands of boring pages.

Unfortunately Republicans do the same just not quite the extent-slightly smaller scale.
