Don't Be Fooled: The Soros DA Movement isn't Losing—It's Adapting

It feels like the era of "Soros DAs" is coming to an end...High-profile recalls, election defeats, and growing public backlash have fueled the perception that the progressive prosecutor movement is losing momentum.But is it?This week, Sean Kennedy is joined by Parker Thayer, investigative reporter and researcher at the Capital Research Center, to examine how the movement has changed over the past decade. Rather than disappearing, Parker argues that the organizations, donor networks, and nonprofit infrastructure behind progressive prosecutors have adapted—becoming more sophisticated, more decentralized, and in many cases, harder to track.Together, they explore how billionaire-funded nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and political action committees continue to shape criminal justice policy long after Election Day—and why understanding this ecosystem is just as important as understanding the prosecutors themselves.Parker estimates roughly $1 billion invested over two decades into prosecutor campaigns and related nonprofits.If you want to understand how criminal justice policy is really shaped, this episode lays it out.This episode covers: • How George Soros built the modern prosecutor movement• Why nonprofit organizations—not campaigns—now drive criminal justice policy• The billion-dollar ecosystem supporting progressive prosecutors• Why donors are becoming increasingly secretive• How these organizations control over 50 DAs offices nationwideIf you enjoyed this episode following the money behind America's progressive prosecutor movement, follow Parker and dig into the outstanding work of the Capital Research Center:https://x.com/ParkerThayerhttps://x.com/capitalresearchhttps://capitalresearch.org/https://www.influencewatch.org/
