His donor list includes controversial figures like Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf and his COO Matthew Grimm, who together spent nearly $150,000 boosting Jeffries’ fundraising committees. Some might recognize Anduril as the AI weapons tech corporation co-founded by Palmer Luckey, a tech billionaire whose recent projects include a company working on genetically enhanced dogs for military purposes.

Another controversial donor includes Mehdi Allhassani, current head of government affairs at the AI surveillance company Palantir, from whom Jeffries received $44,300 this election cycle.

Jeffries also has the backing of cryptocurrency advocacy groups and investment executives at firms including Bain Capital, DE Shaw, and Renaissance Technologies, Sludge reports.

Eh, there was evidence that Russia was utilizing bot farms across social media networks to interfere with elections. However, the vast majority of that was happening in 2016.

Since then liberals have utilized it as an excuse to shield themselves from any form of criticism, even in cases where people explained their reasoning, or on platforms like lemmy where it would be silly for a Russian agency to spend time and resources.
