ActBlue, the Democratic donation-processing site, reported a record-breaking $30 million raised from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday in the aftermath of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, NPR writes and ActBlue confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters via the New York Times: "The unprecedented outpouring shows the power of a looming Supreme Court confirmation fight to motivate Democratic donors."
By the numbers: In the 9 p.m. hour, ActBlue saw $6.2 million donated, and another $6.3 million in the 10 p.m. hour — totaling more than $100,000 each minute, according to the Times.
- "The number keeps rising by tens of thousands every second," NPR writes.
