In yet another display of far-left theatrics, a group of progressive agitators — bankrolled by none other than George Soros — stormed the U.S. Capitol this week to protest modest, common-sense Medicaid reforms in President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” The demonstration, which violated federal law, ended in multiple arrests and revealed the shadowy influence of Soros-backed operations in driving America’s political discourse further left.
On Tuesday, June 25th, U.S. Capitol Police arrested 34 individuals inside the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building. These protestors — some in wheelchairs, others waving dramatic banners that read “Senate Republicans, Don’t Kill Us” — were protesting the Trump administration’s efforts to cut government waste and reform bloated Medicaid spending. According to Capitol Police, 33 were arrested for illegally demonstrating inside the building, while another crossed a police line and was taken into custody.
The real story, however, lies in who organized the stunt: the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a radical activist organization that receives over $1 million annually from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations — the same billionaire-backed network known for propping up left-wing causes around the globe.
CPD’s co-director, Analilia Mejia, formerly of the Biden Labor Department, told NBC Washington the protest was “about humanity” and tried to make the case that any reduction to Medicaid funding would be catastrophic. “Without their insulin, without their heart medication, they would simply die,” Mejia said. What she didn’t say? That CPD’s real agenda has far less to do with medicine and far more to do with pushing a socialist, big-government ideology.
And this isn’t CPD’s first brush with outrageous behavior. As watchdog group InfluenceWatch reports, CPD was directly linked to the harassment of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) back in 2021, when one of its leaders followed her into a bathroom at Arizona State University and recorded her while confronting her on budget and immigration issues. The same group also orchestrated a bizarre stunt where activists in kayaks surrounded Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) houseboat, trying to intimidate him into backing a massive \$3.5 trillion spending spree.
These are not peaceful protestors — they’re professional agitators using taxpayer-funded programs and media sympathy to advance a dangerous far-left agenda.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” seeks to restore fiscal sanity by trimming wasteful spending — including bloated entitlements like Medicaid — while preserving access for the truly needy. Predictably, the left responds not with solutions, but with hysteria, lawbreaking, and Soros-funded mobs clogging the halls of Congress.
It’s a troubling pattern. From obstructing democracy with disruptive protests to harassing lawmakers in bathrooms and on the water, these radicals are increasingly emboldened by media coverage and billionaire backing. But as Trump’s administration works to bring common sense and accountability back to Washington, Americans are seeing the left’s true colors — and they aren’t red, white, and blue.
