Five of the six were recruited through a single organization: New Politics Leadership Academy.
One pipeline. One talent program. Five of six. Mark Kelly was the sixth.

Cynical Publius describes it so well. This is almost verbatim independent verification of Chapter 20 in UNELECTED, but he makes it way easier to understand and follow.
Please read for how it all works.

Last week, we aired our latest special Mapping the DSA Machine, just for our Torch subscribers. After the premiere, 97% of them voted to release it to the public immediately because they believe it's too critical to keep behind a paywall this close to the midterms.
And I agree. So today at 12 ET. We're dropping the entire special on YouTube. You need to see this.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 3: AMERICA GETS THE FOREIGN-INTERVENTION TREATMENT 🚨
At what point does this become foreign interference of our elections?
To back up: the main group that Danielle Reiff and the other ex-USAID workers belongs to, Renew To Thrive (R2T) / Renew American Democracy (RAD) have an explicit strategy document. That strategy outlines "preparing for the worst" which includes the Insurrection Act or "election meltdown," and their goal is to get "structural reform" in place by that - a polite way of saying our Constitutional Republic has to be overhauled.
In July 2026, R2T/RAD invited foreign state actors to share experience with the American community, for the express purpose of operationalizing their expertise right here in the United States. All actors had experience in international community assisted transitions (I'll let you figure out what that is a code word for).
The disturbing part, though, is that all of the foreign actors' recommendations were implemented right here in America.
You may have seen news headlines like:
- Restore trust in processes
- Increased election security, increased legal presence at polls
- Democratic officials hold tabletop exercises
- Judges prepare for post-election challenges
To be clear, this video doesn't prove that this meeting specifically caused this cascade of escalations. But what it shows is that the democracy-promotion playbook the U.S. spent decades exporting, with situation rooms, observers at every polling place, prebunking and litigation paired with street mobilization, is now being run on America's own election. The same people are running it, and they're taking advice from the foreign actors the U.S. once backed.
Now when you look at officials talking about independent watchdogs or tabletop exercises... know that it's because they are now treating the United States midterms exactly the same as they'd treat elections in a third world country.
And I think more than a small part of them are hoping that it does become a self-fulfilling prophecy as it has in so many of those countries. (For context, my book Unelected documents that so-called "election meltdowns" are precursors to transitions of power via color revolution.)

🚨 AMERICA DOESN’T HAVE A TALENT SHORTAGE. IT HAS A HIRING PROBLEM.
A manager says he applied to his own company’s job opening using essentially his own résumé.
Rejected in SIX MINUTES.
Why?
The hiring software required “React.js.”
His résumé said “React.”
One punctuation difference.
Meanwhile, HR had spent months telling him they couldn’t find qualified candidates.
Think about how many Americans are being rejected by algorithms before a human ever sees their résumé.
And how many companies are claiming they can’t find American talent while sponsoring foreign workers.
Before claiming a labor shortage, shouldn’t employers have to prove they’re actually considering qualified American applicants?

Very well put by Joe Oltmann. What he is describing is a “shaping operation” in information warfare. They are attempting to “shape” the information environment to manipulate your mind & allow them to get away with what they have planned. The message from the Washington Post garbage article is simple: try to stop or investigate any reports/evidence of fraud in the midterms & we have already set the stage to accuse you of interfering. This should remind you of 2020 where they said this:
“On election day it will look like Trump is winning & then when the mail-in ballots are counted, Biden will win”.
That was to cover up the steal. They knew this in advance because they had already rigged the mail-in ballots in favor of Biden & they knew Trump would win convincingly in election day, so much that it could not be hidden. Re,ember when the polls all closed in swing states around the same time that night? That was to give them the time & space to alter the digital cast vote record inside the machines & bring in the fake physical ballots to support the fraudulent record they created inside the voting machines.
This is not even real… a group of retired admirals, ex-USAID bureaucrats and professional protest organizers got caught on their own recordings working out the conditions under which they get to declare the government of the United States illegitimate, and somehow we are supposed to believe they are the ones protecting democracy.
Here is what @DataRepublican put out in Part 2 of the Democracy Files. The videos come from a group called Renew to Thrive, with Danielle Reiff and Paul Zeitz in key roles, and it sits inside a much bigger umbrella called the United Democracy Alliance, which she describes as the hush-hush control room for groups like 50501 and Indivisible, deciding when protests get deployed, the timelines and how to respond. National Security Leaders for America, 1,600 former military, intelligence and diplomatic officials led by retired Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith, is credited with operationalizing the whole thing. On tape they lay out a list of "redlines," and invoking the Insurrection Act against "peaceful" protesters is one of the most discussed… and as she lays it out, they shopped the idea around to governors who don't even have to sign anything, all a governor has to do is refuse federal troops and let the network do the rest.
Make no mistake about who Mike Smith is. His own organization's bio says he founded and led National Security Leaders for Biden, more than 1,100 members with an endorsement letter signed by 780 of them, and now he runs a "non partisan" group that just cares so deeply about the oath. But hey… I am sure it is totally nonpartisan this time.
And the very same morning the Washington Post runs a story about a small group of current and former Defense Department officials quietly advising governors, election officials and lawmakers in 10 states on how to prepare for the Trump administration "interfering" in the midterms, rehearsing what to do if a federal agent asks for access to ballots or machines. Different names, same message… the elected federal government is the threat, and the people who run the elections are the ones who need protecting from it.
Let me put it to you like this. They are building the excuse before the event even happens. They coordinate the protests, they decide in advance which government response crosses their line, and then they hold that response up as proof the whole government is illegitimate and the governors should take over. How exactly is that defending the Constitution? If a room full of retired conservative officers got caught on tape role playing how to declare a Democrat president illegitimate, the FBI would be knocking on doors before the coffee got cold and every network in the country would run it wall to wall.
I am angry about this, and I think most of you are not angry enough. These people swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a party, and they are treating the legitimacy of an elected government like a privilege they get to revoke the minute the voters pick somebody they don't like. As DataRepublican puts it, almost any effective pushback against their NGOs counts as illegitimate in their book. Where is the outrage from the people who spent five years lecturing you about threats to democracy?
Admiral Smith, Ms. Reiff, Dr. Zeitz… release every recording in full and explain to the American people, under oath, exactly what you were planning for the day after.

I love this woman. She is the most openly authoritarian politician in America. She promotes the persecution of young conservatives to “deter” them from entering politics. Now she is screaming about authoritarians. Incredible. Orwellian. Just a complete lunatic.

Our reporting on the USAA whistleblower and inside USAA has saved many people who were able to cancel their USAA accounts over the past year.
The INDIAN company - known as what WAS USAA - is apparently having significant issues now with accounts zeroed out.
If you bank with @USAA, don't be surprised if your accounts are empty or inaccessible right now. Apparently they're experiencing some kind of catastrophic IT meltdown. Never seen anything like this in the 35 years I've been a member

I've been cranking all day on this.
Some things are so important that they need to be explored in depth, and in real time.
The shocking revelations from Data Republican regarding the plot to overthrow our Constitution is such a thing and now is such a time.
We are facing a color revolution. This article explains how color revolutions have worked overseas in the past at the hands of the CIA and USAID, and how those now ex-USAID employees, now ensconced in well-funded NGOs, are currently using the same tactics against our own nation.
It's a long article, almost 2,500 words.
If you care about this, please read. It's a very complex set of concepts, and takes more than a few words to explain adequately.
Thanks.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 2: WHEN AND HOW TO DECLARE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ILLEGITIMATE 🚨
Some questioned whether a group of 200 ex-USAID officials could actually pull off their ambitions to rewrite the Constitution.
Here, they describe exactly how it works. They aren't working alone.
The videos all come from Renew to Thrive (R2T) group and associates. Danielle Reiff and Paul Zeitz play key roles within R2T.
R2T sits inside a much, much larger umbrella called United Democracy Alliance (UDA), which is an extremely hush-hush control plane of leaders from major "blocking" NGOs such as 50501 and Indivisible fulfilling various functions. UDA decides when protests get deployed, timelines, how to respond, all that.
R2T's role within UDA is concerned with "the day after tomorrow" - in other words, their function is to conceive what a rewritten American government will look like after the rest of UDA fulfills its purpose. As will be shown, Erica Chenoworth is credited with conceiving UDA in the first place under the Horizons "Big Tent" initiative.
Note here that National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) is credited for operationalizing UDA. NSL4A is a group of 1,600 ex-military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials. They are led by Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith (Ret). NSL4A also played a key role in the "illegal orders" messaging which targeted Pete Hegseth. Zeitz is also a member of NSL4A.
It must be emphasized that the choice of a military-oriented organization to coordinate NGOs across domestic protests is an interesting one all in itself - especially in an umbrella conceived by a regime change expert like Chenoworth.
You will have a hard time finding any mentions of UDA in the public. They are extremely hush-hush and selective who they talk to.
Mike Smith himself makes a personal appearance in other calls, coordinating Insurrection Act exercises and roleplaying with R2G as one of the participants.
As the audio transcript shows, they have outlined a sequence of "redlines" in which case the federal government should be declared illegitimate. Invoking the Insurrection Act against "peaceful" protesters is one of the most discussed redlines. I will post the illegitimate criteria below, but basically, almost any effective pushback against NGOs is a measure of illegitimacy according to them.
Important to understand:
The audio shows they shopped this idea around governors, but the reality is that governors do not have to explicitly sign on to the pact to play their role in the coup. All they have to do is refuse troops in their state and let UDA / R2G do the work of dissolving the federal government.

Stephen Miller cuts through all the bullshit and succinctly delivers the reality of the situation.
The Dems are using illegals and fraudulent shell companies, to funnel taxpayer money to the illegals, and to fund the Democrat Party.
They sold us out and are stealing from the US taxpayer on the scale of hundreds of billions, if not trillions. They are enriching themselves off of our labor, and then hand our tax dollars to people who are not citizens.
The American People are effectively slaves, and the Dems steal all our money and use it to buy new voters.
I’m not sure what crime you want to call that, but those responsible need to pay the stiffest price there is.
.@StephenM: "What the President is describing is a criminal conspiracy where a state knowingly aids and abets fraud that's funneled into these communities — oftentimes migrant communities — and they then use those funds to fund the Democrat Party."

There are two ways of looking at the midterms, now less than three weeks away.
One is as a simple referendum on the issues and politicians of the day. The other involves a far deeper conflict of visions (as Thomas Sowell puts it): socialism versus capitalism, intrusive versus limited government, and the destruction of time-honored institutions and traditions versus their preservation and renewal.
Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism.

Hey @tedcruz I know you're busy fighting for Israel but if you have a minute to spare for actual Americans, we could use your help.
We expect you to join the chorus of Republicans all across the country in demanding Sen Slotkin's resignation. Just pretend she said this about Israeli students if that helps get your blood boiling. Thanks Ted!
