George Soros’ Network Bankrolling ‘No Kings’ Protests: Report
George Soros’ network of organizations is helping bankroll the “No Kings” protests that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and tens of thousands of demonstrators plan to join on Saturday, according to new disclosures and archived grant data.
Soros, a billionaire investor and one of the Democratic Party’s most prolific donors, is the founder of the Open Society Foundations, which oversees the Open Society Action Fund.
In 2023, that fund issued a two-year grant of $3 million to the progressive group Indivisible, according to public filings. The stated purpose was to support the organization’s “social welfare activities,” Fox News
Indivisible is currently serving as the group managing participant data and communications for the “No Kings” protests taking place in Washington, D.C., and in cities nationwide.
Soros’ foundations say they have distributed more than $32 billion globally to advance what they describe as “open and democratic societies.” His son, Alex Soros, serves as chairman of the board.
Indivisible’s website lists Ezra Levin as executive co-director, alongside his wife, Leah Greenberg.
Greenberg previously served as policy director for former Virginia gubernatorial candidate Tom Perriello, who later became executive director of the Open Society Foundations from 2018 through 2023 — deepening organizational ties between the two entities.
In 2017, Indivisible also received a $350,000 grant from Tides Advocacy, an arm of the left-leaning Tides Network. The Tides Foundation, another affiliate, has previously faced criticism for funding groups accused of supporting anti-Israel demonstrations and campus unrest.
While the 2024 grant report has not yet been released by the IRS or Open Society Foundations, records show Soros’ network has provided Indivisible with more than $7.6 million since its formation in 2017.
A spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations told Fox News Digital that its grants are lawful and that the organization does not dictate or manage how recipients conduct their operations.
“We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution,” the spokesperson said.
“Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the first to draw attention to the Soros ties in an interview Thursday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, warning that the “No Kings” rallies could become violent.
“There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country,” Cruz said.
Cruz cited his STOP FUNDERs Act — short for “Financial Underwriting of Nefarious Demonstrations and Extremist Riots” — which he introduced in July.
The bill would authorize the Department of Justice to use RICO statutes to prosecute individuals or organizations that fund violent protests.
“This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. No one denies these basic facts,” Cruz told Fox News Digital.
“The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence.”
The Open Society Foundations, in a statement on its website, emphasized that it does not pay or train protesters and “opposes all forms of violence, including violent protests.”
Indivisible’s own protest guide states, “Protests are most effective when we peacefully use our constitutionally protected rights of assembly and speech and properly prepare ahead of time.”
Republican lawmakers remain concerned about the network of funding that fuels mass demonstrations.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., sent a letter Thursday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging an immediate investigation into the Open Society Foundations and other Soros-backed groups.
“The funding of organizations that engage in, support, or incite political violence must not be tolerated,” Carter wrote, citing a recent report that found Soros’ foundations distributed more than $80 million to groups accused of endorsing or participating in domestic extremism.
As protests prepare to fill streets nationwide this weekend, scrutiny over their funding — and Soros’ influence — continues to mount.
Former President Obama CAUGHT On-Camera Committing ILLEGAL Act in Canada Against USA: 'It's Treason...'
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former President Barack Obama drew sharp criticism from supporters of President Donald Trump after a video of him arriving in Canada and greeting Prime Minister John Carney went viral online. The clip, shared by Carney on X with the message “Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama,” showed Obama shaking hands with the Canadian leader amid lively background music. Carney added that Obama was joining conversations in Toronto on building “a better and more just future” and empowering more people.
Conservative voices quickly responded to the footage. Laura Loomer wrote on X, “Why is Barack Hussein Obama meeting with world leaders while President Trump is in office? This is a coup.”
Nick Sortor stated, “Obama needs to sit down and figure out his freaking place before his a– ends up in prison for violating the Logan Act.” David J. Freeman, known as Gunther Eagleman on X, commented, “Obama sneaking into Canada for private meetings with globalist Carney? Bro thinks he’s still running the show. Sit down, Barack, Trump’s President. Barack Obama belongs in prison.”
Reports indicated Obama was in Canada for a speaking engagement, though some observers questioned whether that was the sole purpose of the trip. Critics suggested the event may have served as cover for discussions with Carney on issues related to U.S. policy under President Trump, including trade and other bilateral matters.
The Logan Act, enacted in 1799, prohibits private American citizens from conducting unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments involved in disputes with the United States with the intent to influence that government’s conduct. The law has rarely been used, with only two historical indictments and no successful prosecutions.
The controversy escalated further as former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino issued a pointed warning to Obama following the former president’s recent criticism of the Trump administration’s handling of the Department of Justice.
Obama had told late-night host Stephen Colbert that the White House should not direct the attorney general on prosecutions, describing the attorney general as “the people’s lawyer.” Bongino responded forcefully, suggesting Obama could face scrutiny over actions tied to the 2016 Russia investigation and broader allegations of political weaponization.
The exchange reflects ongoing partisan divisions over the role of former presidents in international affairs and the boundaries of executive authority. Supporters of Obama argue the visit was a standard speaking engagement with no violation of law.
Critics maintain that any private discussions with foreign leaders on matters of U.S. policy without authorization raise serious questions under the Logan Act. No formal legal action has been announced regarding the Canada meeting, and Obama has not issued a direct response to the latest wave of criticism.
The incident underscores broader debates about the appropriate conduct of former officials and the potential for private diplomacy to intersect with current U.S. foreign policy priorities. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, such public controversies continue to fuel discussions about accountability, executive power, and the role of past administrations in shaping international relations. Observers note that the Logan Act remains a rarely enforced statute, but its invocation often highlights deep partisan tensions over perceived interference in ongoing governance.
Seditious Six' Mark Kelly Does It AGAIN - Pete Hegseth Promises A Legal Response
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a retired U.S. Navy captain, drew criticism after discussing details from a classified Pentagon briefing during a live interview on CBS News. In the segment with anchor Margaret Brennan, Kelly described the impact of U.S. military operations in the Middle East on American weapons stockpiles. He specifically referenced munitions including Tomahawk cruise missiles, ATACMS, SM-3 interceptors, THAAD rounds, and Patriot systems, stating it was “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines.”
Kelly attributed the depletion to decisions made by the current administration, saying the president acted “without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline,” which he argued left the United States less prepared for potential conflicts elsewhere, including a hypothetical scenario involving China and Taiwan. He noted that replenishing the stockpiles would take years.
The comments followed a classified briefing provided to members of Congress on the effects of recent U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict. National security experts and administration officials have expressed concern that public discussion of specific munitions levels and readiness timelines could compromise operational security and provide adversaries with actionable intelligence.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth responded swiftly, stating that the Department of Defense’s legal counsel would review Kelly’s remarks to determine whether they constituted a violation of his oath or improperly disclosed classified information. Hegseth wrote on social media: “Captain Mark Kelly strikes again. Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a CLASSIFIED Pentagon briefing he received. Did he violate his oath…again? @DeptofWar legal counsel will review.”
Kelly has faced previous scrutiny for a video earlier this year in which he and several Democratic colleagues encouraged military members to evaluate the legality of orders from President Trump, remarks some critics labeled as seditious. As a former naval aviator and astronaut, Kelly has frequently drawn on his military background when discussing national security issues.
The senator’s office has not issued a direct response to Hegseth’s statement. In the interview, Kelly framed his comments as part of legitimate congressional oversight, noting that members of Congress receive classified briefings to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities.
The episode highlights ongoing tensions between the executive and legislative branches over the handling of sensitive national security information. Legal analysts note that members of Congress are generally protected by the Speech or Debate Clause when discussing matters related to their official duties, but the public disclosure of classified details can still trigger internal reviews and potential referrals to the Department of Justice.
The Pentagon has declined to confirm or deny the accuracy of Kelly’s description of stockpile levels. Officials have previously warned that public speculation about munitions readiness can embolden adversaries and complicate deterrence strategy, particularly with respect to China’s military posture in the Indo-Pacific.
The incident occurs against the backdrop of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions and broader concerns about military readiness. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have expressed worries about the pace of munitions replenishment following sustained operations in multiple theaters. However, the public nature of Kelly’s remarks has intensified partisan debate over congressional responsibility and the boundaries of classified information.
As the Department of Defense legal review proceeds, the matter is likely to fuel further discussion about the balance between transparency, oversight, and national security in an era of heightened geopolitical competition.
