Sen. Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, has been funneling cash from his political action committee straight into the coffers of the left-wing group organizing those "spontaneous" anti-ICE protests you keep seeing on the news. His American Mobilization PAC cut $100,000 to the Indivisible Project in December 2025 — the very outfit behind the so-called "No Kings" rallies that have popped up in nearly every state.

So much for grassroots, folks. Turns out the roots go straight to a congressional checking account.

Murphy's PAC spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in 2025 boosting Indivisible, which has positioned itself as the primary organizer of mass protests against ICE enforcement operations. The group was originally formed after Trump's first election in 2016, and it's been sharpening its claws ever since. Murphy himself has been anything but subtle about his intentions, declaring that "mass mobilization" is necessary to stop a "would-be tyrant from cratering, from destroying a democracy."

A sitting United States senator called the duly elected President of the United States a tyrant. Let that sink in.

Murphy, who was first elected to the Senate in 2012, went even further in his apocalyptic cheerleading. "We may not have another election, at least a free and fair election, if we don't stop this slide away from free speech and democracy quickly," he said. Right. The guy funding protest mobs is worried about free speech. You can't make this stuff up.

But wait — it gets better. Indivisible isn't just some scrappy band of concerned citizens with poster board and Sharpies. The organization has ties to the People's Forum, a Manhattan-based outfit founded by self-proclaimed Marxist Neville Roy Singham. The People's Forum has links to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, BreakThrough News, and the Palestine Solidarity Working Group. So Murphy's money is flowing into an ecosystem that includes actual, self-identified Marxists.

Your tax-funded senator is subsidizing Marxist-adjacent protest networks. Retirement security feels real stable right now, doesn't it?

The consequences of this "mobilization" aren't theoretical. In Minnesota, anti-ICE protests turned violent with two separate shootings. In Newark, New Jersey, protests at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility were described as the "result of years of strategic planning" — not exactly the language of spontaneous civic engagement. These aren't candlelight vigils. These are coordinated operations with a senator's fingerprints on the receipts.

And let's be clear about what they're protesting: ICE deporting criminals. That's the hill Murphy is spending six figures to die on. Not border security. Not legal immigration reform. He's bankrolling people who physically block federal agents from removing criminal aliens from American communities.

The next time you see one of these "No Kings" rallies on your television and some breathless CNN anchor calls it a "grassroots movement," just remember — the grass was fertilized with $100,000 from a Connecticut senator's slush fund. That's not democracy in action. That's astroturf with a congressional stamp of approval.
