Soros-Funded Dark Money Group Secretly Paying Democrat Influencers To Shape Gen Z Politics
2025-08-29
[ZERO] When Taylor Lorenz breaks a story on Democrat dark money, you know something strange is happening. Lorenz, who has made a career as the poster child for progressive social media culture, finally turned her reporting lens onto her own side. And what she uncovered in Wired is pretty dark: a secret program bankrolled by one of the largest Democrat dark money machines in America, designed to quietly pay off dozens of high-profile influencers to steer young voters toward the left.

The story centers around the Sixteen Thirty Fund, one of the crown jewels of Arabella Advisors' dark money empire. According to public filings, this fund has been showered with staggering sums from progressive megadonors:

  • $257.1 million from the New Venture Fund

  • $64 million from the Open Societies Action Fund

  • $20.2 million from the Hopewell Fund

  • $13 million from the North Fund

  • $5.6 million from Tides Advocacy

    A spreadsheet posted by DataRepublican on X bluntly spelled it out: "That 'dark money' group, Sixteen Thirty Fund, is Arabella Advisors and is pure Open Society passthrough."

    As is so often said here, "follow the money".
