"No Longer Tolerate Radical Marxists": Rubio Sanctions Revolutionary Cuban Influence Network Tied To U.S. Left-Wing NGOs

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions late Thursday targeting the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, or ICAP, a Castro-era organization used to spread Marxist ideology abroad.

"For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained, and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond," Rubio wrote on X.

Rubio continued, "Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations."

He said that he is using President Trump's Cuba executive-order sanctions authority to put ICAP and others on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list, or SDN list.

Those Cuban entities include:

1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.

What does this mean:

1. Freezes any U.S.-linked assets of those entities.
2. Bars U.S. persons, companies, banks, nonprofits, and organizations from doing business with them, unless licensed by OFAC.
3. Raises sanctions risk for foreign firms and banks that continue transacting with them, especially if the entities are tied to Cuba's military, intelligence, tourism, mining, or political-control apparatus.

Rubio continued, "The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil 'revolution' to our country and around the world."

More importantly, nonprofit investigator Jason Curtis Anderson noted, "Two of the organizations listed above are direct partners of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which has 100,000 members nationwide and 250 elected officials in office."

Secretary Rubio,

According to Fox News investigator Asra Nomani, "The groups working closely with ICAP include the People's Forum, CodePink, BreakThrough News and Tricontinental, funded by Singham, a Marxist tech tycoon living in Shanghai. As reported, Singham has pumped $285 million into nonprofits since 2017 that have built very close relationships with ICAP and the communist government of Cuba."

In December 2025, we asked a very simple question:

• Is There A "Cuba Connection" Behind The Radicalization Of America's Nonprofit Left

At the time, we noted, "ICAP functioned as the intake valve - political cover for intelligence operations designed to cultivate long-term assets rather than short-term spies."

Adding that it "sits at the center, functioning as a coordinating hub. Orbiting it is the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), a deliberately loose coalition that links 77 organizations of activists, nonprofits, and campaigns while minimizing legal exposure or clear command structures."

Far-left activist Calla Walsh, who spends her days in Iran, called Rubio's sanctions on ICAP a "major attack on the Cuban Revolution and the Cuba solidarity movement, targeting Cuba's primary international solidarity organization (ICAP) and the organized grassroots base of the revolution (the CDRs)."

The foreign influence operations routed through America's nonprofit world, and embraced by parts of the Democratic Party, extend well beyond Cuba.

Turkish-American Twitch streamer Hasan Piker recently laid out what investigators already know: American Marxist tech financier Neville Roy Singham, who has reportedly been living in China and has been linked by The New York Times to CCP-aligned propaganda networks, has been operating a pro-Marxist NGO network in the U.S. for revolutionary efforts.

Taken together, these developments appear to answer the question we asked in December about whether there is a "Cuba connection" behind the radicalization of America's nonprofit left. It certainly appears to be panning out that way. And if you ever wondered why America's left champions anti-U.S. ideals, death to capitalism, socialism, and communism, as well as its strange obsession with rioting and destroying private property...

...well, it is becoming increasingly clear that these revolutionary efforts may be funded and/or supported by foreign adversaries.

What's next? It seems like the walls are closing in on the CCP-linked Roy Singham network.

This could be incredibly terrible optics for the DSA...

... which has spent considerable time in Havana with communists.

"Thank You, Mr. President": Maryland Freedom Caucus Applauds Trump's Coal Power Plant Restart Plan

Submitted by Maryland Freedom Caucus,

Today, President Trump is taking action to help reverse the damage done to Maryland's energy industry by directing federal support toward coal power infrastructure, including funding that could help restart Maryland's Warrior Run power plant near Cumberland.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Today, we're taking historic action to bring down the price of energy and the cost of living for all Americans with the power of clean, beautiful coal... As a result of the $700M investment that I'm announcing today, we will protect 14 coal plants and 42 coal… pic.twitter.com/o2IxCelLpn

While combining the Defense Production Act, a 1950 law that gives presidents emergency authority over national security-related industries, and Department of Energy grants, President Trump is expected to send tens of millions of dollars to reopen the recently closed AES Warrior Run. 

Maryland's energy crisis was not an accident; it was a choice.

For years, Annapolis politicians and activists shut down reliable power, punished natural gas, forced unrealistic mandates onto families and businesses, and then acted shocked when electric bills exploded.

Arbitrary climate mandates didn’t lower bills. They shut down power plants, shrank supply, and crushed Maryland families with higher costs and blackout risks. A crisis policy made, so I am proposing to reversing the damage and put families, reliability, and affordability 1st! pic.twitter.com/AzuFSZ9ydO

Warrior Run was not some meaningless facility on a government spreadsheet. It was a dependable, dispatchable power plant capable of producing more than 200 megawatts of electricity for Maryland homes, businesses, and communities. It was retired in 2024, even as Maryland's power supply was already shrinking and demand was rising.

That is exactly the kind of reckless energy policy the Maryland Freedom Caucus has been warning about for more than two years.

When you think "energy", we want you to think "Maryland Freedom Caucus". For more than a year, we've had the plan that will lower your bills and make Maryland more affordable.

✅️ STOP the Green… pic.twitter.com/nStwBiCZnx

Our message has been simple: stop closing reliable power plants and restore in-state generation, cut fee-based programs like EmPOWER that drive up bills, ditch the Green Energy Scam, and classify nuclear power as a tier 1 renewable energy resource. 

Maryland does not have an energy shortage because we lack resources. We have an energy shortage because politicians chose ideology over reliability. The reopening of a Democrat policy-closed power plant, like Warrior Run, is a huge win for Marylanders who need relief now. Lower electricity bills start with more power.

This is also a major opportunity for Western Maryland. Communities near Cumberland deserve jobs, investment, and energy production, not lectures from climate activists who never suffer the consequences of the policies they impose.

Maryland Democrats have spent years chasing climate mandates, forced electrification schemes, RGGI taxes, anti-natural-gas regulations, and hidden charges buried in utility bills. The result is exactly what basic economics predicted: less supply, more demand, higher prices, and a weaker grid.

Now Annapolis needs to build on this momentum. Maryland should roll back the Climate Solutions Now Act, leave the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), restore retail energy choice, protect natural gas, and expand in-state generation using every practical source available.

President Trump's action is another step toward lower bills, stronger reliability, and real Maryland energy freedom. It is also another Maryland Freedom Caucus win.

The wins just keep on coming!@realDonaldTrump is taking action to lower your electricty bill and is directing $85 million in federal energy grants to help restart the Warrior Run coal power plant near Cumberland, MD!
