By 2023, progressive prosecutors had jurisdiction over at least 20% of the US population, and half of Americans living in its biggest cities, reports Matt Palumbo in his book “The Heir.”
Soros-funded district attorneys have won in Tampa Bay, Denver, Orlando, Northern Virginia, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Philly, St. Louis, Dallas and many others; 126 of them have held office at some point, per the Media Research Center.
Over the past decade, Soros’s Justice and Public Safety PAC alone has spent money in at least 62 primary and general elections, according to the WaPo report, winning 77% of the time — without having to lay out much to tilt those typically low-spending local elections.
As Soros spokesman Michael Vachon admitted, “We started a movement . . . the knee-jerk, so-called tough-on-crime philosophy has been discredited in many communities.”
He is right, and the results are catastrophic.
The foundational belief these progressive DAs share is that systemic social change, not aggressive prosecution, is the answer to crime.
This ideology fit perfectly with the ascension of woke politics, which blamed problems on systems and focused on identity above all else.
That’s why the core of their radical criminal justice reform involved eliminating cash bail, declining to prosecute minor offenses, and drastically limiting the use of sentencing enhancements such as “three strikes.”
It meant the effective elimination of criminal justice, putting more criminals — even repeat offenders — back on the streets.
I watch Police Body Cams on youtube. So many drunk drivers are arrested for multiple DUIs and get barely a slap on the wrist by the judges. It’s awful! And then they are back out again, driving drunk and putting lives in danger.

Similar thing just happened in Baltimore. Kid was arrested like 75 times and kept being released then committed murder.

Not in Blue cities. The court system is a joke. Let people walk.

Soros has poured money into a staggering number of DA races across the country.
