Paxton sues ActBlue over alleged foreign and maxed-out donations

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a state-court lawsuit against ActBlue, alleging the Democratic donor platform accepts donations from foreign nationals and donors who have reached the legal contribution limit, including via gift cards and prepaid cards, and seeks to halt such contributions with up to $10,000 in civil penalties per violation under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. ActBlue denies wrongdoing and calls the claims politically motivated, as Paxton’s investigations into the platform continue amid broader debates over campaign fundraising.
