Story summary

Republican Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier subpoenaed the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) on November 10, 2026, under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The subpoena demands documents related to alleged foreign donations from countries like China and Cuba, focusing on DSA delegations and travel fund solicitations. Uthmeier stated that his office is investigating whether the DSA violated state law by accepting contributions from "foreign sources of concern," including the regimes in Cuba and China, and if its fundraising has been fully transparent and lawful. This action comes a week after the first DSA-backed candidate won a seat in the Florida Legislature, prompting renewed scrutiny over foreign influence in U.S. politics.
