U.S. Marshals assigned to protect U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor reportedly shot an alleged carjacker who pulled a gun on them outside her home in Washington, D.C. The incident happened around 1:15 a.m. on Friday when Kentrell Flowers, 18, pulled up next to the Marshal’s car, approached the driver’s side door, and pulled a firearm on two Marshals who were in the vehicle, The Hill reported. One of the Marshals quickly drew his weapon and fired several shots at the suspect, hitting him in the mouth, the report said. The suspect was later transported to the hospital and arrested. The vehicle that the suspect arrived in had been carjacked, police said. It’s not clear whether Sotomayor, a leftist who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, was home during the incident. “The Deputy U.S. Marshals involved in the shooting incident were part of the unit protecting the residences of U.S. Supreme Court justices,” Abigail Meyer, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service, said in a statement. “As a general practice, the U.S. Marshals don’t discuss specifics of protective details.” Sotomayor has strong anti-Second Amendment views, including believing that the Second Amendment does not protect gun rights at a state level, attacking conservative justices who overruled the federal government’s bump stock ban, and more.

The Daily Wire’s Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro is set to testify to Congress on Wednesday for its hearing on the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which is under investigation by the House Judiciary Committee for organizing its member organizations to work in coordination to demonetize disfavored news outlets. The Judiciary Committee’s investigation into GARM began more than a year ago, when Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote to the head of GARM and its parent organization, the World Federation of Advertisers, to alert them that the committee believed GARM was “potentially violating U.S. antitrust law by coordinating their members’ efforts to demonetize and eliminate disfavored content online.” In the past year that investigation has gotten more targeted, with the committee specifically charging that GARM targeted conservative outlets including The Daily Wire, Breitbart, and Fox News. Shapiro has also long had GARM in his sights — the advertiser coalition which controls 90% of global advertising dollars and counts the biggest corporations in the world as its members was the subject of the first episode of his Facts series. He described GARM as part of “a network of global elites who have created a universal framework full of guidelines and ratings designed to enforce ‘approved’ narratives and punish disapproved ones.” Also testifying at the Judiciary hearing will be executives at Unilever, a consumer goods giant, and GroupM, the world’s largest media buying agency. Both are on the steering committee of GARM, and have been scrutinized by Jordan’s committee. Jordan in letters to GARM members has said that documents the committee has obtained “directly connect” the steering committee with efforts to suppress conservative news, and show that the censorship efforts are due to politics, not the so-called “brand safety” claims that GARM bases its existence on. “Evidence the Committee has obtained suggests that GARM members, led by Steer Team members, are colluding to demonetize conservative platforms and voices,” Jordan wrote in public correspondence to the companies. “Further, this coordination does not always revolve around ‘brand safety’ and ‘harmful’ content as GARM publicly claims, but instead the desire to censor conservative and other views that GARM members disfavor.” GARM is a relatively new creation, created by the World Federation of Advertisers in 2019. Its flagship creation was the Brand Safety Floor & Suitability Framework, which it hopes will be used by the entire ad industry to address the “challenge of harmful online content.” Just months after GARM was launched, it was announced by the World Economic Forum that it would become a flagship project of its “Platform for Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Culture.” GARM’s stated goal is to create a “common understanding” in the whole industry of “what harmful and sensitive content is” as well as “where ads should not appear,” basing it all on the importance of “brand safety” for its members. Shapiro has said that brand safety is “a dog whistle for censorship,” and that GARM has laid out subjective guidelines that can be used to censor news it doesn’t like. “The framework lists subjective terms like hate speech as a problem — it says that anything surrounding transgenderism that they decide is dehumanizing or discussing what they deem to be a debated social issue in an insensitive way is off limits,” Shapiro said. “The framework is deliberately vague, allowing those in control to pick and choose how they enforce it and against whom.” The Judiciary Committee under Jordan has already uncovered emails showing the White House pressuring social media giant Facebook to limit companies like The Daily Wire, which was the top publisher on the platform. In 2021 emails uncovered by Jordan’s committee, White House digital director Rob Flaherty suggested to Facebook that it “change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see NYT, WSJ, any authoritative news source over Daily Wire, Tomi Lahren, polarizing people.” Members of the ad industry have called Jordan’s investigation an assault, complaining that the probe could have a “chilling effect” on its efforts to help companies responsibly spend their ad dollars. The Judiciary Committee said the member companies know the Judiciary Committee has obtained evidence that will expose how “personal biases” drive its operations. “These companies know the evidence collected shows that members of GARM have worked for years to spread their personal biases and censor conservative voices and journalists online,” a committee spokesman said. “These companies are simply trying to get ahead of the incriminating evidence before it becomes public.” The Judiciary Committee subpoenaed both GARM and the WFA after it failed to produce requested documents last year. The head of GARM, Rob Rakowitz, agreed to voluntarily appear for transcribed testimony after he was called on by the committee in April. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. (EST).

One of the top Democrat-aligned dark money organizations has experienced massive growth, with donations surging to over $120 million in its most recent disclosure, according to tax forms obtained by The Daily Wire. The Washington D.C.-based organization, called Majority Forward, raked in a whopping $122 million in tax year 2022, according to the organization’s IRS form 990. The sum marks a massive increase from the tax year 2021, when the 501(c)(4) organization had just $75 million in revenue. The 2022 figure also surpassed the organization’s revenue of $108 million in 2020, a presidential election year. Majority Forward’s tax designation allows it to raise and spend an unlimited amount of money, all without disclosing the names of its donors. The organization’s 2022 IRS form lists 125 anonymous donors along with their donations, with contributions ranging from lows of $10,000 and $15,000 to astonishing highs of $10 million and $12 million. Parker Thayer, an Investigative Researcher at the Capital Research Center, says the filing is proof that Democrats are fully embracing “dark money.” “The skyrocketing revenues of Majority Forward over the years is proof that the Democratic Party establishment is leaning more and more into the use of ‘dark money,’” Parker Thayer, an Investigative Researcher at the Capital Research Center, told The Daily Wire. “We can expect that the group’s fundraising will increase even more in 2024. Even though tax forms have a two-year delay in reporting, campaign finance disclosures show that Majority Forward has already moved nearly $40 million to Democrat-aligned Super PACs during the first half of the 2024 cycle.” The influence of “dark money” on political elections has been criticized by high-profile Democrats despite members of the party benefiting from dark money organizations. President Joe Biden blasted dark money organizations in 2022, arguing that “dark money erodes public trust” despite efforts to elect Biden receiving $174 million in secret funds, more than six times the amount of dark money as did efforts to reelect former President Donald Trump. “‘Dark money,’ a term originally coined by the Left, has now become one of the Left’s favorite tools, so much so that even the New York Times wrote that Democrats won the 2020 election with dark money, using much more of it than Republicans,” Thayer went on to explain. “Left-wing ‘dark money’ groups are the tail that wags the Democratic Party dog, and they will remain massively influential during the 2024 election.” Majority Forward’s sizable increase in revenue could lay the groundwork for the organization to be a key player in the 2024 elections, with multiple vulnerable Democrats up for reelection. Democrat Senators Jon Tester of Montana and Sherrod Brown of Ohio are both facing significant competition that could threaten the Democrat’s slim Senate majority. Thayer explained how Majority Forward fits into the broader network of leftwing dark money organizations, and how they could impact the upcoming elections. “Majority Forward is enormously influential, even for a dark money group. We’re talking about a $100 million group that is run by the head of, and generously funds, the Senate Majority PAC, which is Chuck Schumer’s super PAC. It’s very hard to get more influential than that,” Thayer said. “The group doesn’t have a wide network, and it doesn’t spread around its money much, but it sends enormous checks to the groups that count; groups that move money into every election, up and down the ballot, across the country.” The president of Majority Forward, J.B. Poersch, received a salary of $380,000 from the organization in 2022 while working an average of 15 hours a week, while national finance director Tonya Fulkerson received $150,000 and treasurer Chris Koob received $90,000. Poersch is also the president of the Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic political action committee that works to elect Democrats to the United States Senate, and shares office space with Majority Forward. “Majority Forward is essentially a large financial funnel, taking in money from anonymous donors and sending it down the pipe to Chuck Schumer’s super PAC,” Thayer noted.  Majority Forward did not respond to a request for comment.
