Brad Slager writes for RedState.com about the latest bad news for national Democrats.
It has been fully recognized since the November election that the Democratic Party has been hobbled more than a three-legged gelding, but things refuse to improve for that lot. Throughout this year, the party has seen its prospects withering across the board, whether it is in internal operations, public approval, voting efforts, fundraising, or media outreach.
And much like the condition of the national media industry, there is no desire exhibited by them to change what is not working. And this week it became even worse.
It was announced that the Bill Gates Foundation was suspending its monetary involvement with one of the primary non-profits affiliated with the Democratic Party. The New York Times reported that without much fanfare, Gates was turning away from his longtime connection to the party.
The Gates Foundation decided in late June to halt making grants to nonprofit funds administered by the consulting firm Arabella Advisors. In addition to its consulting work on behalf of nonprofits and philanthropists, Arabella also manages several “dark money” funds that support Democrats and the progressive movement.
Arabella is a hybrid entity that not only advises non-profit organizations but also operates a dark money network on behalf of the Democratic Party interests. It manages to get away with this crooked dealing by funneling money through layers of groups. It set up what is labeled the New Venture Fund, an allegedly non-partisan outfit, which donates to the Sixteen-Thirty Fund. That outfit spread nearly $100 million to various PACS, which either backed Democrats or ran ads against Republicans. This pipeline manages to see that Arabella’s hands are clean, and the donors behind this sham remain anonymous.
Making this all the more impactful is that this is not only the Gates money that is being cut off, but several other nonprofits are easing back their involvement with Arabella, to maintain thriving relations with the Gates Foundation. This only extends the already crippling problems experienced in 2025, especially those concerning the party’s finances.
