Hasan Piker names pro-CCP tycoon Singham as financier of ‘political movements’ despite nonprofit veneer

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Far-left political influencer Hasan Piker identified American Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham as a major financier behind a network of pro-communist U.S. nonprofits engaged in «political advocacy» and «a lot of political movements,» marking the first public acknowledgment from a figure inside the far-left network that organizations in the Singham network are operating with an explicitly political agenda.
The comments are significant because congressional investigators and watchdog groups have long argued that nonprofits connected to Singham are functioning as overt political operations while enjoying tax-exempt charitable status. Critics argue such activity may violate nonprofit tax laws, which place strict limits on the amount of political activity charities can conduct.
As Fox News Digital reported exclusively on Saturday, Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued an administrative subpoena to Piker and far-left CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin for possibly violating sanctions against doing business with the Communist Party of Cuba when they traveled to the island nation in March for an ideologically-charged transnational convergence of communists in an international «convoy.»
Piker and Benjamin haven’t responded to requests for comment, but they have publicly defended their trips to March as «humanitarian» missions to help the people of Cuba.
FEDS SUBPOENA HASAN PIKER, MEDEA BENJAMIN OVER CUBA TRIPS
At about 37 minutes in a six-hour livestream on Monday, headlined, «FEDS ARE AFTER ME,» punctuated with two cursing emojis, Piker stunned listeners knowledgeable about the intricacies of far-left networks by saying that he believes federal investigators are ultimately targeting Singham and the organizations he supports, including CodePink and the self-declared communist organizations ANSWER Coalition and Party for Socialism and Liberation, for the «political» work they do.
Together, these groups and others in the Singham network have organized, coordinated and staffed most of the divisive anti-U.S. street protests the nation has seen over the past decade. Party for Socialism and Liberation is called «PSL» by far-left activists.
«I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink — like anything that he has ever financed,» Piker said during the stream.
POWER COUPLE OF CHAOS: HOW A TYCOON AND ACTIVIST BUILT A ‘REVOLUTIONARY BASE’ AT THE HOUSE OF SINGHAM
Jodie Evans and Neville Roy Singham are pictured together.
A five-part Fox News Digital investigation published in March, the week of the Cuba convoy, documented how Singham funneled $278 million, starting in 2017 after his marriage to CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, into a network of six nonprofits that, in turn, have financially supported dozens of organizations globally and operationally participated in a transnational network of about 2,000 organizations, most of them promoting pro-China messaging and causes aligned with the Chinese Communist Party.
The investigation also documented for the first time Singham’s appearance at a Shanghai conference in November 2025 at the Golden Tulip Hotel, where he praised Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party’s vision for a «new world order.»
Piker defended Singham during the livestream, arguing the federal government was attempting to suppress activism financed by Singham, a wealthy ideological donor.
«And it’s not new, it’s been around for a while,» Piker said.
Piker continued. «It’s like totally f—ing ridiculous to try and stop the political advocacy of an American citizen.»
He continued: «Roy Singham is an American citizen. He lives in China now and he’s a centimillionaire. I think he has almost a billion dollars.» A centimillioniare is a rich person with a net worth of at least $100 million.
In 2017, Singham sold his technology company, Thoughtworks, for an estimated $785 million, and began establishing a new network of shell corporations and nonprofit organizations in the U.S., from his adopted base in Shanghai, according to the Fox News Digital investigation.
Piker then described Singham as «funding vehicle» for «a lot of political movements.» The Singham network has deployed rapid-response teams to protest U.S. actions, including demonstrations that support the Islamic Republic of Iran, with professional protesters like CodePink D.C. Coordinator Olivia DiNucci painting her hands red to vilify U.S. military action in Iran. She protested beside Benjamin outside the White House.
HOUSE HEARING RAISES RED FLAGS OVER FORMER TECH MOGUL’S ‘CCP NETWORK’ ALLEGEDLY FUNDING OF FAR-LEFT GROUPS
Piker said, «Not sure how much money he has now, but he’s been a funding vehicle for a lot of political movements in the country, like a lot of activism, and they hate that s—, so they’re trying to jam them up.»
«They’re trying to hit him on anything and everything they possibly can. That’s it, that’s the goal here. That’s the broader goal.»
Monday’s comments were especially notable because they marked the first time a prominent figure within the network openly characterized Singham’s role as supporting «political movements» and «political advocacy» operations in the United States.
According to Fox News Digital’s investigation, Singham has pumped the $285 million into six organizations: $22.44 million to the People’s Forum, a hub for communist organizing in New York City; $1.33 million to CodePink; $68.7 million to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a nonprofit that funnels money to anonymous projects overseas; $1.098 million to BreakThrough BT Media, a propaganda arm; and $16.76 million to Tricontinental Ltd., a pro-communist think tank. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and ANSWER Coalition share office space at the People’s Forum and share leadership with the People’s Forum.
Multiple congressional committees — including the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, House Oversight Committee and House Ways and Means Committee — have examined aspects of Singham’s funding network, particularly questions surrounding foreign influence, nonprofit compliance and political advocacy activities.
Investigators have increasingly focused on whether organizations receiving charitable tax benefits engaged in political activism beyond the scope permitted under federal law. Piker’s description of Singham as financing «political movements» may now intensify the investigations.
WHO IS HASAN PIKER? MEET THE FAR-LEFT STREAMER WHO IS STIRRING UP CONTROVERSY ONLINE AND DIVIDING DEMOCRATS

Piker is the Turkish-born nephew of a Turkish-American socialist political operative Cenk Uygur, founder of the Young Turks YouTube channel and a co-founder of Justice Democrats, a socialist organization that helped elect far-left lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
In recent years, Piker has risen to national prominence as one of the country’s most influential left-wing online commentators, espousing Marxism even though critics call him a «champagne socialist,» because of his penchant for wearing designer clothes, driving expensive vehicles and living a high-end lifestyle. Piker drew criticism in even socialist circles for living in a $2 million home in West Hollywood, California.
Piker has monetized these hours-long livestreams on a platform called Twitch, popular with young online gamers. He talks for hours on end, mostly without a script, free associating in a stream of conscious that often includes rants, curses and condemnations of the very nation where he has built his wealth, repeating the talking points of U.S. adversaries including Russia, China, Cuba and Hamas, the terrorist organization. In his livestream on Monday, Piker bragged about buying a suit from a photoshoot he just completed in New York City over the weekend.
News of the subpoena against Piker and Benjamin triggered widespread reaction across activist and political circles, with far-left figures and organizations rallying behind Piker, while even Democratic leaders and influencers mocked Piker for turning his back on Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and now facing scrutiny from the Trump administration.
Piker himself has devoted two livestreams since the news broke to condemning the investigation, describing it as politically motivated and characterizing himself as a victim.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control enforces U.S. sanctions laws and restrictions involving foreign governments, organizations and individuals under Treasury Department sanctions programs. In Washington policy circles, «OFAC» has become a verb and getting «OFAC’ed» is widely viewed as a serious escalation because it can indicate potential sanctions or foreign transaction violations.

Illegal alien indicted on manslaughter charges in daughter’s rollover crash death

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An illegal immigrant mother who ICE agents arrested after a deadly Arizona rollover crash that killed her nine-year-old daughter has now been indicted after toxicology results allegedly showed methamphetamine and marijuana in her system, according to Arizona prosecutors.
Brenda Rivera Estrada, 30, was indicted in connection with the April 12 crash on northbound Interstate 17 near Cactus Road in Phoenix, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Monday.
Authorities said Rivera Estrada crashed her SUV, killing her daughter, who was thrown from the vehicle. Three other children inside the SUV — an 11-year-old boy, a three-year-old boy and a one-year-old girl — suffered minor injuries.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Rivera Estrada’s daughter was allegedly sharing a seatbelt with a sibling when she was ejected during the rollover crash.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers suspected Rivera Estrada had been impaired after they reportedly smelled marijuana at the scene. Prosecutors said toxicology results later showed Rivera Estrada screened positive for both marijuana and methamphetamine.
«The suspect chose to get in a vehicle where she was allegedly under the influence of marijuana,» a prosecutor previously told Fox 10 Phoenix. «Multiple witnesses stated that she was driving above the posted speed limit, which was 65.»
A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Rivera Estrada on one count of manslaughter, three counts of endangerment, one count of possession or use of dangerous drugs and one count of possession or use of drug paraphernalia.

The manslaughter charge is classified as a Class Two Dangerous Felony.
Rivera Estrada was transported from ICE custody to the Maricopa County Jail following the indictment and is being held on a $250,000 cash bond, prosecutors said.
The indictment comes weeks after ICE confirmed Rivera Estrada, a Mexican national, had initially been released from local custody before federal immigration authorities took her into custody on an immigration detainer while prosecutors awaited toxicology and crash reconstruction results.

ICE officials previously told Fox News Digital that Rivera Estrada entered the United States through Nogales, Arizona, in February 2009 as a nonimmigrant border crosser authorized to remain in the country for up to 30 days. Officials said she remained in the United States beyond that period in violation of federal immigration law.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell previously defended the delay in filing charges, saying the case required additional investigation before prosecutors could move forward.
«I have said this many times: we have one chance to get this right,» Mitchell said last week. «Complex cases like this routinely take time to gather the evidence needed to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.»

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Phoenix Deputy Field Office Director Alejandro Almeida previously said Rivera Estrada’s arrest highlighted the importance of ICE’s Criminal Alien Program.
«The identification and arrest of Brenda Liliana Rivera-Estrada by ICE underscores the importance of the Criminal Alien Program and highlights the public safety efforts undertaken by officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations,» Almeida said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Alerta por la ola de calor extrema en Europa: al menos 11 muertos y récords históricos de temperatura

Varios países de Europa occidental atraviesan una ola de calor con temperaturas extremas muy superiores a las normales para un mes de mayo que ya dejó al menos siete muertos en Francia y cuatro en Inglaterra.
El fenómeno, conocido como “cúpula de calor”, ocurre cuando una masa de aire cálido proveniente del norte de África queda atrapada bajo un sistema de altas presiones, generando un efecto de horno sobre países como Francia, Reino Unido, España e Irlanda.
En Francia la situación es especialmente preocupante. “No es normal en esta época del año, pero por desgracia creo que esto se va a convertir en la norma”, advirtió Chloe Voisin, una estudiante de 22 años en Burdeos.
El lunes ya se había registrado el día de mayo más caluroso de la historia tanto en Francia como en Reino Unido, y las previsiones oficiales indicaron que el martes sería aún peor.

Las autoridades francesas confirmaron al menos siete muertes relacionadas con la ola de calor, cinco de ellas por ahogamiento, ya que muchas personas buscaron alivio en playas sin la presencia de socorristas, que recién llegan en julio.
“Ha habido siete muertes directa o indirectamente relacionadas con el calor”, informó la portavoz del gobierno, Maud Bregeon, en declaraciones al canal TF1.
Récords históricos y noches tropicales en toda la región
En el Reino Unido, la Oficina Meteorológica (Met Office) reportó una máxima de 34,8 °C en los jardines de Kew, al suroeste de Londres, superando por dos grados el récord anterior para mayo.
El calor extremo obligó a muchos a modificar sus rutinas. “Tuvimos que refugiarnos en el hotel para evitar estar en la calle en las horas más calurosas”, contó Philippe Bignens, un turista suizo de 56 años que visitaba Londres.
“Si no te preocupa el calentamiento global, es que estás sordo, ciego o las dos cosas, ¿no? Está ahí, sí. Tenemos que preocuparnos y hacer algo al respecto”, remarcó Bignens.
La Met Office anticipó que las temperaturas bajarán hacia el final de la semana, pero el meteorólogo Greg Dewhurst advirtió que estos episodios son “una buena indicación del cambio climático en acción” y que podrían convertirse en “la nueva normalidad”.

Además, según la BBC, en puntos separados del interior del país donde se alcanzaron las temperaturas más altas, cuatro adolescentes murieron ahogados en lagos y represas.
Un niño de 13 años fue rescatado muerto del pantano donde se estaba bañando en Halifax, al norte de Inglaterra; una chica de 15 años murió tras bañarse en un lago en Warwickshire, en las inmediaciones de Birmingham, mientras que en Rotherham, South Yorkshire otro joven murió tras meterse en un lago.
Estas muertes se sumaron a la de otro niño de 15 años que murió el domingo 24 de mayo en el lago de Swanholme.
En Irlanda, dos estaciones meteorológicas marcaron un récord para mayo con 28,8 °C, según la agencia Met Éireann. En París, los fanáticos del tenis y los jugadores de Roland Garros soportaron temperaturas de 33 °C bajo un sol agobiante.
España en alerta y el avance del calentamiento global
En España, la agencia meteorológica Aemet alertó sobre “temperaturas extraordinariamente altas para la época del año” que persistirán durante toda la semana, salvo en las Islas Canarias.
Además, advirtieron sobre la llegada de “noches tropicales” —cuando la temperatura no baja de los 20°C— en el suroeste del país, con máximas previstas de entre 36 °C y 38 °C desde el miércoles hasta el viernes.
El portavoz de la Aemet, Rubén del Campo, dijo que “nos encontramos con temperaturas que normalmente vemos a mediados del verano ahora en el mes de mayo”. Las altas temperaturas sacuden a varios países europeos (Foto: Reuters)
En gran parte de la península se registraron temperaturas de 5 a 10 grados más altas de lo normal.
Según la Oficina Nacional de Administración Oceánica y Atmosférica de Estados Unidos, Europa es el continente que más rápido se calentó desde 1990, seguido por Asia y América del Norte.
Los científicos coinciden en que el cambio climático provocado por el ser humano está amplificando la frecuencia y la intensidad de estos fenómenos extremos.
Olas de calor, sequías e inundaciones se vuelven cada vez más habituales y peligrosas para la salud y la vida cotidiana.

El llanto en medio de las balas: Una bebé sobrevive a brutal ataque armado donde murieron sus padres en Costa Rica

La quietud habitual del Barrio Las Palmas, en Guápiles, se desvaneció de forma abrupta la noche de ayer 25 de mayo. En un instante, el silencio de la comunidad fue reemplazado por el estruendo de ráfagas de fuego, transformando una humilde vivienda en el escenario de una profunda tragedia humana.
Dos vidas, pertenecientes a un hombre y una mujer que apenas comenzaban a echar raíces en la zona, fueron apagadas de manera violenta, dejando tras de sí un vacío incalculable y el llanto de una pequeña cuya existencia cambió para siempre en un parpadeo. El suceso ha conmocionado a los habitantes locales, quienes atestiguan cómo la criminalidad irrumpe en la intimidad del hogar, un espacio tradicionalmente sagrado para el resguardo de la familia.
De acuerdo con los reportes de las fuentes policiales y medios locales, el asalto a la tranquilidad de la vivienda ocurrió con una frialdad sobrecogedora. Al menos dos sujetos armados irrumpieron de forma directa en el inmueble, sorprendiendo en primera instancia al hombre en el sector de la cochera. Allí, bajo el peso de un ataque fulminante, la víctima perdió la vida de forma inmediata, quedando tendida sin posibilidad de recibir asistencia médica.

No hubo espacio para la tregua ni para el auxilio. Los agresores, determinados en su avance, continuaron hacia el interior de la estructura, persiguiendo a la mujer que, en un desesperado intento por salvaguardar su integridad, buscó refugio en los confines del cuarto de baño. No obstante, los atacantes la alcanzaron en ese último rincón, ejecutando múltiples disparos a muy corta distancia antes de huir de la escena.
Cuando las unidades de la Cruz Roja Costarricense arribaron al lugar, tras ser alertadas por los vecinos alarmados por el estruendo de los impactos, el panorama era irreversible. Los socorristas confirmaron que tanto el hombre como la mujer carecían por completo de signos vitales. Sin embargo, en medio del horror y los vestigios del ataque, un milagro de vida se abrió paso entre las paredes del inmueble.
Los oficiales de la Fuerza Pública localizaron y rescataron sana e ilesa a una bebé de aproximadamente dos años de edad, quien presumiblemente es hija de la pareja fallecida. Junto a ella, otra mujer adulta que se encontraba en la propiedad logró sobrevivir al asalto sin sufrir heridas físicas. Ambas resultaron ilesas del atentado, resguardadas por el azar en medio de la tempestad.

El rastro del suceso no tardó en extenderse más allá de las fronteras del vecindario. Minutos después del doble homicidio, una llamada ingresó con urgencia al sistema de emergencias 9-1-1, alertando sobre un vehículo envuelto en llamas frente al plantel de los Badilla, en el sector de El Prado de Guápiles.
Al llegar al sitio, el Cuerpo de Bomberos controló el fuego que consumía el automotor. La principal hipótesis de los investigadores apunta a que este vehículo fue el utilizado por los perpetradores para llegar y escapar de la escena, incendiándolo posteriormente de forma deliberada en un intento por borrar cualquier huella física, balística o biológica que permitiera su identificación.

La respuesta institucional se activó de inmediato para contener el impacto del crimen y brindar protección a la víctima más vulnerable. La niña de dos años fue puesta bajo la custodia y el cuidado del Patronato Nacional de la Infancia (PANI), donde equipos especializados se encargan de asegurar su bienestar físico y emocional en estas horas críticas.
Mientras tanto, los agentes del Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) asumieron la custodia de la vivienda en el Barrio Las Palmas, procediendo con el levantamiento de los cuerpos y la recolección de indicios esenciales para el caso. Las autoridades mantienen estrictos operativos en diversos puntos estratégicos de la región para intentar localizar a los autores del crimen.
De momento, las causas detrás de este ataque violento permanecen bajo investigación, mientras la comunidad intenta procesar el dolor de una realidad que golpea con fuerza la dignidad de la vida humana.
