Left: what the group raised, from reports through Oct. 14, 2026. Donors are ranked by what they gave among the group’s 100 largest contributions. “Everyone else” is the rest of what it raised; select it to see more donors. Right: its outside spending through Oct. 30, 2026, including 24- and 48-hour reports. The two sides come from different reports, so they don’t add up to each other.
