I did read that their first-formed PAC, Brand New Congress, took donations from both/any parties so wasn't eligible to use ActBlue. That was apparently a big part of why they formed Justice Democrats -- to be eligible to get donations through ActBlue, but like BNC still dedicated to purging and taking over the Democratic Party. (Ambitious little wingnuts.) Of course, they apparently had one of their passionate ideological splits as part of this as some of the ones who went to JD discovered they were opposed to trying to elect Republican candidates. In any case, presumably the ActBlue total is many donations arriving that route.
Btw, their big success since forming is Ocasio, and she's an accident. They have some IT and mass political marketing expertise, but reading about their short history of various quarrels and reformings reinforces my earlier evaluation that the national picture of their new power and prominence is fake and even that fake definitely not their own creation. No wonder JD's top people are now Ocasio employees.
