Republican Lawmaker Urges DOJ to Probe Organizations Linked to Soros Funding
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is calling on the Department of Justice to launch an immediate investigation into organizations funded by billionaire George Soros, citing growing concerns about political violence and domestic extremism.
In a letter sent Thursday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Carter requested a “comprehensive and immediate” probe into the Open Society Foundations and other Soros-backed groups, alleging that several have supported or incited politically motivated violence.
“The funding of organizations that engage in, support, or incite political violence must not be tolerated,” Carter wrote in his letter.
Carter cited findings from a recent report by the Capital Research Center, which detailed how Soros’ Open Society Foundations distributed more than $80 million to groups accused of endorsing or participating in activities that fit the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism.
According to the report, one such group — the Center for Third World Organizing (CTWO) — received $400,000 from the foundation and publicly stated it “threw down with people in the streets” during the 2020 George Floyd riots. The report further identified CTWO affiliates such as the Ruckus Society, which has circulated materials promoting protest tactics that “may be outside of the law.”
Another organization in the same network, the BlackOUT Collective, co-authored a pro-Hamas guide that cited the Ruckus Society and praised the October 7 terror attack on Israel.
The Open Society Foundations also provided $1.85 million to Dream Defenders, $18 million to the Movement for Black Lives, and $200,000 to Dissenters — all named in the report for connections to the same guide. The Sunrise Movement, which has promoted the “Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest” campaign, reportedly received more than $2 million in Open Society grants. Federal authorities have linked that campaign to Antifa-associated anarchist activity.
Carter warned that these revelations point to “an escalation in politically motivated violence from far-left extremist groups.” He referenced attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and the September 10 assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk as examples of the consequences of radicalization.
“The DOJ cannot ignore this,” Carter said. “Americans deserve to know whether these organizations are funding, organizing, or inspiring domestic terrorism.”
The Open Society Foundations denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated.
“Our activities are peaceful and lawful, and our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and comply with the law,” the foundation said in a statement. “These claims are attacks on civil society meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with and undermine the First Amendment.”
The Trump administration has already begun coordinating efforts to trace financial support for left-wing extremism.
FBI Director Kash Patel said Wednesday that the bureau is “following the money” behind Antifa and related far-left groups.
Patel described the effort as an “unprecedented financial investigation” into the donor networks and organizational infrastructure enabling domestic violence and unrest.
“The FBI is working with the Treasury Department to map accounts and entities funneling money to extremist organizations across the U.S. and abroad,” Patel said.
“We are following the money. Money never lies,” Patel continued. “That’s what it’s going to take to bring down this network of organized criminal thugs, gang bangers, and yes, domestic terrorists — because that’s what they are.”
Carter said Patel’s comments underscored the importance of a Justice Department inquiry into Soros-backed groups.
“The American people deserve transparency,” Carter said. “If any organization is using foreign money to fuel domestic violence or undermine law enforcement, it must be exposed and prosecuted.”
Minnesota Judge Overturns Jury Verdict in $7.2 Million Medicaid Fraud Case, Sparks Outrage
A Minnesota judge has overturned a jury’s guilty verdict against Abdifatah Yusuf, a Somali migrant convicted of orchestrating a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud scheme, triggering intense backlash from lawmakers and watchdog groups.
Yusuf, who operated Promise Health Services LLC out of nothing more than a Minneapolis mailbox, was found guilty in August on six counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle and racketeering related to large-scale Medicaid fraud. Prosecutors said Yusuf billed Minnesota’s Medicaid program for fake home healthcare services, created fabricated documents, inflated costs, and paid out kickbacks to accomplices.
According to investigators, the scheme targeted Personal Care Assistant (PCA) programs, which are intended to support elderly and disabled residents. Instead, prosecutors say Yusuf and his wife, Lul Ahmed, used stolen taxpayer dollars to purchase luxury vehicles and designer clothing.
Jury Found “Obvious Fraud” Before Judge Reversed the Verdict
The jury reached its verdict after just four hours of deliberation. Foreman Ben Walfoort said the case was straightforward due to overwhelming evidence.
“It was not a difficult decision whatsoever… Based on the state’s evidence, it was beyond a reasonable doubt,” Walfoort told reporters. Another juror added: “We didn’t take our job lightly.”
Despite the clear jury consensus, Judge Sarah S. West — a Democrat-appointed judge — granted Yusuf’s post-verdict motion for acquittal. In her ruling, West acknowledged she was “troubled” by how the fraud was carried out but still dismissed the convictions, allowing Yusuf to walk free pending further legal action.
Lawmakers Slam Judge’s Decision
The ruling immediately caused uproar across Minnesota’s political landscape. Critics accused Judge West of undermining justice, especially in a case involving millions in stolen taxpayer funds.
State Rep. Kristin Robbins (R), chair of the House Fraud Prevention Committee, described the decision as “stunning” and vowed to push for stronger fraud prosecution laws.
“Clearly a jury thought he was guilty,” Robbins said. “Minnesotans deserve confidence that large-scale fraud will be punished—not excused.”
Case Adds Fuel to Fraud Concerns in Minnesota
The Yusuf case comes as Minnesota faces growing scrutiny over fraud within Medicaid-funded programs. Multiple investigations in recent years have uncovered widespread abuse involving PCA services, childcare subsidies, and housing programs—many involving coordinated schemes operating across Twin Cities communities.
The backlash against Judge West’s ruling is expected to intensify as state lawmakers prepare for additional hearings on fraud accountability and judicial oversight.
The Employee Humiliated a Poorly Dressed Old Woman in Line — Then One Truth Changed Everything
“You do realize how much time you’re wasting for other people?! Wrong documents again!” — the employee threw out with cold contempt, humiliating the poorly dressed old woman right in front of the entire line. But only a few minutes later, something happened that made the woman bitterly regret her words… 😳
— You do realize how much time you’re wasting for other people?! Wrong documents again! — the employee said irritably, not even trying to hide her contempt…
Old Marta silently pressed a worn blue folder to her chest. She had come to the pension office with only one request — to correct a mistake in the documents because of which several years of her work record had not been counted.
Those years could have increased her pension at least enough so that she would not have to save money on medicine during winter…
— But they told me only these were needed.
But that seemed to irritate the employee named Diana even more.
She demonstratively flipped through the papers, deliberately wasted time, sighed loudly, and rolled her eyes so the whole line could hear:
— At your age, you should already have learned how to prepare documents properly. Go and bring more certificates. Next!
People in the line began to grow nervous. Someone clicked their tongue in annoyance, someone looked at Marta as if she were the one to blame for the delay.
And Diana seemed to enjoy the humiliation — her voice grew louder and her smile more venomous…
Marta slowly stepped aside toward the wall, lowering her head. It looked as if she was about to cry. But a few minutes later, something happened that made Diana turn pale before everyone’s eyes… and silence fell over the line… 😳
Continuation in the first comment 👇👇
A few minutes later, the office doors suddenly opened, and the branch manager, Mr. Roberts, walked in quickly. His face was grim, and in his hands he held a tablet with recordings from the security cameras.
He immediately approached Marta and, to everyone’s surprise, said gently:
— Ma’am, please come forward. Your issue will be resolved right now.
Dead silence filled the room.
Diana tried to explain something, but Roberts did not even let her finish.
— I watched your work for several minutes through the cameras. Instead of helping an elderly person, you decided to boost yourself at her expense by humiliating her in front of the entire line.
The employee’s face changed instantly. Just moments ago confident and arrogant, she now stood pale and confused, unable to raise her eyes.
And then something happened that no one expected…
Roberts personally took Marta’s folder, quickly reviewed the documents, and within minutes it became clear that all the required certificates were there. The mistake was in the office’s own system.
— Her work record must be recalculated immediately, — he said coldly.
Marta could barely hold back her tears. For many long months, he was the first person who had treated her like a human being…
But the hardest blow was still waiting for Diana.
The manager turned to her and said in front of everyone:
— From this moment on, you no longer work here. An employee who humiliates people instead of helping them has no right to hold this position.
Silence hung in the line, and then someone quietly began to applaud Marta…
