Why Is Congressman Pat Ryan Taking Money From This Fascist Billionaire?
Congressman Pat Ryan calls himself a monopoly buster, but he's one of few New York congressman not to support HJR54, the We the People Amendment.
Pictured Above: “A moment of reckoning has arrived for the West.” A recent advertisement was placed on select college campuses by Palantir Technologies — shared again on its Twitter account — echoing white nationalist language and philosophy. The kind often espoused by company founder, Fascist Billionaire Peter Thiel.
Since the beginning of his political career, Democratic Congressman Pat Ryan has accepted $76,538 from Palantir Technologies. They are consistently one of his top donors, exceeded only by AIPAC. (We’ll talk about AIPAC in a future post, when we get to Congressman Mike Lawler.)
Palantir is one of the companies powering the MAGA Nazi surveillance state currently under construction by President Donald Trump, and actual President, Elon Musk. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk’s BFF, is one of the founders of Palantir. He’s also a dangerous fascist, funding some of your favorite people, including Seditionist Senators Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Vice President JD Vance.
You can watch Peter Thiel give a tour de force in incoherent, rambling, fascist rhetoric below. Make sure you stick around until the end to listen to Thiel speak in praise of nationalism against a “globalist” (re: Jewish) future. This is the man Pat Ryan is taking money from via Palantir.
Readers of The Monroe Gazette have begun calling Pat Ryan’s DC office to return the money he’s received from Palantir; and have Ryan pledge to never accept any money from white Supremacist adjacent billionaire, Peter Thiel.

Congressman Pat Ryan recently spoke to the Ulster County business community, citing — among other things — his concerns about domestic surveillance. However, one of the Congressman’s largest donors is Peter Thiel’s Palantir Technologies. The same company providing the software and infrastructure powering that domestic surveillance.
How can the Congressman say he’s concerned about domestic surveillance by DOGE and President Trump while also accepting money from their friends at Palantir Technologies?
I’m calling to urge Congressman Pat Ryan to return all of the money he’s accepted from Palantir and Peter Thiel.
If Congressman Ryan wants us to take him seriously in the fight against our authoritarian president, he can’t just talk the talk. He has to walk the walk.
Pat Ryan can do so by pledging to never take money from Palantir or Peter Thiel again.
And he can do so by pledging to cosponsor H.J. Resolution 54. Congressman Ryan is one of few New York Congressional Democrats not to support a constitutional amendment overturning the Citizens United decision.
If Congressman Ryan wants to go around telling everyone he wants to be a monopoly buster, he can again walk the walk by getting those monopolies, and their money, out of our political system.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
