financial confirmed

Founders Fund partner Keith Rabois donated $1.72M total in 2025 alone (87% Republican). Top recipients: $750K Grow The Majority, $282K NRCC, $255K Congressional Leadership Fund, plus $10K each to 10+ state Republican parties (TX, NM, FL, MT, NV, WI, NC, NY, OR, VA). Defense oversight: $10K Cotton Majority Committee, $1.2K Cotton for Senate (SASC), $7K Ken Calvert (HASC), $7K Young Kim. Rabois shows the most purely partisan giving pattern in the network — zero Democratic donations, massive investment in Republican House infrastructure. His $750K Grow The Majority donation alone suggests coordinated strategy with Thiel ($852K to same entity) to build a permanent Republican House majority.
