Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas filed a lawsuit against ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform, for violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by accepting gift card donations despite claiming to ban them. The lawsuit seeks to stop ActBlue from accepting such donations and includes civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. ActBlue denies wrongdoing, calling the suit politically motivated amid Paxton’s primary runoff against Senator John Cornyn. The lawsuit is part of broader pressure on digital fundraising infrastructure leading into the 2026 midterms, potentially impacting crypto and campaign finance legislation.
