This would be comical if it weren’t so depressing. FBI officials Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides were caught dead to rights. Anyone with two functioning brain cells who has read the documents can see that they flatly denied to Congress what they were openly discussing in their own emails. The failure to do anything about the completely out-of-control DC courts, or to at least try to start fixing a system that makes it impossible to hold Democrats accountable, will be the most damning legacy of these past two years.

This is something very familiar, yet still infuriating. A bunch of people did all the heavy lifting years ago and exposed Ilhan’s corruption and lies. But then, the media smeared them as conspiracy theorists and the whole thing came to nothing.
Now, ten years later, the same media is presenting the whole thing as breaking news, either to throw Ilhan under the bus or to run interference for her, while omitting the fact that they themselves spent the past decade covering it up.
It’s the same story over and over. Intrepid people do the hard work and expose the lies, only to get smeared or ignored. Then, when the truth can no longer be contained, the media suddenly discovers it and pretends that nobody could possibly have known any earlier.
I lived through this at least twice, first with Russiagate and then with Covid origins. I blew open the Fauci teleconference cover-up in June 2021 and was probably also one of the first to go on the record to explain that Covid 100% came out of a lab and why we knew it. And we all know how this game works. The media can lie endlessly and face no consequences, while if we get even one thing wrong, we’re branded irredeemable conspiracy theorists for eternity.
It’s a hugely thankless task, and that is one reason I’ve moved on to founding Counterlawfare.org. We desperately need people fighting in the trenches, but we also need to expose the bigger picture and the machinery behind all of this.
The media is a giant scam operation whose ultimate purpose is to push America toward one party rule. The sooner people understand that, the better.
The Ilhan Omar "married her brother" story was originally broken by @realDSteinberg at the @powerlineUS blog and @PJMedia_com in 2018. Media covered it only to try to bury it.
It was treated as a conspiracy theory. Now we know the feds knew it in 2016.

Because nobody was ever held accountable for Russiagate, the original lawfare operation, the whole machinery has only grown more brazen and sophisticated.
Marc Elias used the fake Steele dossier to push Russia collusion smears. In Alaska, his firm has taken the same playbook a step further, engineering a dirty trick and then turning to the courts to protect the result of that scheme.
Imagine Elias commissioning the Steele dossier and then marching straight into court, waving it around as evidence and demanding that a judge give legal force to the lies he had manufactured (back then, he used the FBI for that purpose, but now he simply cuts out the middleman and does it himself).
That's what happens when nobody is ever held accountable. They learn that there is no price to pay, so they keep escalating, growing bolder and more ruthless with every operation. And why wouldn't they? They've been taught that they can get away with anything.
The bigger revelation from the Alaska episode isn’t just that a decoy candidate was recruited. It’s that lawyers from Marc Elias’s law firm who were apparently involved in the scheme were also involved in the subsequent lawsuits aimed at challenging or suppressing the fallout.
I think the overlap between those orchestrating the operation and those litigating its aftermath deserves far more scrutiny than it’s receiving.

Mysterious ways.
@DataRepublican told me I could use the Census Bureau to geolocate addresses. So I built that. Then she went and worked on her super secret DOGE-at-the-Pentagon job and went quiet. Then Nick Shirley. While she was quiet, I started ingesting the Medicaid and DOT data, and geolocating it. You can see the results here. grumpytechbro.com/fun/ I did the 990 addresses too.
The Chinese Progressive Association, the Center for Empowered Politics, and the CEP Education Fund share a building. From 2020 through 2022 they are the only three filers on one San Francisco pin. In 2023 and 2024 they move to Oakland together.
New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, Windward Fund, and the North Fund share one Washington pin. The names do not mention each other.
Different paperwork, same door. Legally different people. Yeah, right.
That is not even counting the nonprofit c3 with the political c4. That is just how the NGO world works, because a political c4 has to pay taxes, so you park the $ in the c3.
I wouldn't have built the Sankey that helped connect me with Data if my mom wasn't in the hospital. I wouldn't have had this much time obsessing on the geolocation if Data hadn't gotten sucked into the DoW. Now I have a big pile of geolocated orgs I'm using to chase down fraud.

WOW!! @nataliegwinters exposing the receipts. Great find of how dishonest and deceitful they are! Americans--Prepare yourselves. More reason to make the Conservative vote too big to rig!!!
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: European Parliament money helped fund a CLOSED-DOOR meeting on resistance to Trump and MAGA ahead of America’s midterms.
The keynote speaker? A University of Georgia professor who had publicly argued that Democratic victories could “make Trump a much weaker president for the rest of his second term.”
The June 3 meeting examined where Democratic Party, activist and NGO resistance was working—and how European progressives could learn from it and strengthen transatlantic cooperation.
The agenda spells it out:
“CLOSED DOOR ROUNDTABLE.”
“financial support of the European Parliament.”
European Parliament Vice-President Katarina Barley convened it. The Foundation for European Progressive Studies and Germany’s Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung organized it.
Professor Cas Mudde delivered the keynote, according to the organizers’ recap.

Hey folks. This is an exact repeat scenario from the 2016 CP FISA warrant and the demand for it to be public. Same players, same actors.
No one should be silly enough to believe the target Ilhan Omar didn't already share the warrant with political allies as it was delivered to her and her representatives during execution.
IMHO, without a doubt the media already have the executed warrant in their hands, the Lawfare operatives have reviewed the content and defensive meetings and strategy sessions have already taken place in person and in chat groups with ideologically aligned jour-o-listers.
The alternative is to believe that Ilhan Omar did not share it with democrat leadership, the DSA group, media allies, advocates and lawyers who represent her interests. So, the question is, should the same search warrant background be made public?
All of the advocates and lawyers may have full knowledge of the material in the search warrant; however, they are not able to execute the public defense strategy without revealing that Omar has given it to them. Thus, they want it public.
Enter, Judge James Boasberg who, not coincidentally was the central figure in the Title-1 FISA Warrant request from 2017, and who will now be the decisionmaker on whether -for the first time in history- a search warrant was released to the public prior to the fully executed process to obtain the material that is inside the warrant itself.
The public release of a non-fully executed search warrant has never happened before.
The public release of a Title-1 Surveillance Warrant (the CP FISA warrant) also never happened before, until suddenly it was released in 2018.... for some odd reason (never explained), despite the national security shield that surrounds the entire FISA system, which easily blocks any public releases.
Judge James Boasberg — the same federal judge Trump called a "Radical Left Lunatic" after he blocked Venezuelan deportation flights — has been assigned to oversee the fight to unseal the FBI search warrant used in the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home.
The case lands on Boasberg's desk as two separate federal investigations into Omar are underway: one examining alleged discrepancies in her financial disclosures and another probing whether her father misstated her age on citizenship paperwork in 2000, potentially allowing her to obtain citizenship as a minor. Trump has long accused Omar of committing immigration fraud, including allegedly marrying her brother, and called for her to be "put in jail" in the weeks following the raid on her D.C. home.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro fired back at media requests to unseal the warrant, calling them "rash" and arguing the investigation is still ongoing with no charges filed. Omar's attorneys, meanwhile, are demanding the return of seized property, alleging agents violated protections for her congressional work and blocked her from contacting lawyers during the search.

One more amazing thing about Brazil and Lula's campaign:
The NYT today has a gushing profile of a Congressman named @AndreJanonesMG, who became the face of Lula's campaign, its chief communication strategist. and -- as a result of admittedly innovative though extremely creepy digital strategies -- the greatest hero of the Brazilian left. But listen to what the article doesn't mention:
Just 2 years ago -- not 20 years ago or 10 years ago, but 2 years ago -- Janones got caught committing one of the most despicable crimes imaginable: he forced his Congressional staff employees to transfer a portion of their (quite low) monthly public salary to him as a condition for keeping their jobs. The money he stole from his workers didn't go to his campaign: it just went to enrich himself, into his pocket,.
He got caught when the employees secretly taped him angrily telling them they should stop complaining. When all this emerged, the left-wing members of Congress loyal to Lula -- who, remember, claims to lead a movement of workers! The name of Lula's party is the Workers Party -- protected him from all consequences from stealing the salary of his workers.
The pro-Lula judiciary let Janones confess guilt and simply pay back the money that he stole. And yet this doesn't bother anyone on the Brazilian left. Janones has become a beloved figure overnight among left-wing celebrities and is now one of Lula's closest allies. The NYT profile doesn't even mention this in their gushing profile.
In the scheme of Brazil's authoritarianism, it's not the biggest issue, but to me it's one of the most revealing about what frauds these people are:

Something big is happening.
And it looks serious.
Trump cancelled his two rallies over the weekend and then announced they were both back on, but moved them both to Sunday.
And now JD Vance is suddenly not going to be at the big FRAUD announcement in Minnesota today that he was scheduled to lead.
Something big is happening behind the scenes and if Scott Bessent is replacing JD Vance at this FRAUD Task Force announcement that Vance is in charge of, that tells me there is a “major” NATIONAL SECURITY issue happening behind the scenes.
Eyes on.
Heads on a swivel my friends.

Of COURSE they are trying to TRICK and DISENFRANCHISE voters. Anyone with trifocals (like me) or who have a beer over lunch (like me, sometimes) or tired and eager to get home for dinner (me, bigly) could easily make this mistake!!!

The best part about @DataRepublican's instant classic book, "Unelected," is that it's now on the New York Times best seller list.
This is awesome for four primary reasons:
1. It's great for DR.
2. It helps in getting the book's very important message out to a wider audience.
3. You just know the NYT editors threw up a little in the back of their throats when they had to feature it.
4. All those people who have been lying about DR in the Democrat/Media Complex all these many months? Yeah, suck it losers. You too, @RollingStone. You too, @DanLamothe. Deal with it. The truth wins out over your lies.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in North Carolina after an HOA just DOUBLED monthly fees to **$2,500/MONTH** for homeowners who were paying just $158/month just five years ago...
...and the homeowners say the HOA board tried to charge homeowners $7,500/MONTH JUST IN HOA FEES!!!!!!!
On Monday night, the board backed off $7,500...
...but voted to DOUBLE fees to $2,500 a month instead.
Yes, $30,000 a year just to LIVE IN YOUR HOME THAT YOU BOUGHT.
Nearly SIXTEEN TIMES what families were paying a few years ago.
Families who bought what they thought were their forever homes are now being told to pay $30,000 a year in HOA fees, or GO INTO FORECLOSURE!!!!!!
The neighborhood is Magnolia Cove in Sherrills Ford, Catawba County NC.
Jill Menson and her husband bought their house believing it would be their LAST home and five years ago, their HOA fee was $158 a month.
This summer it shot up to more than $1,200.
Plus a $10,000 ASSESSMENT on top of that.
On Monday night, the HOA board voted to raise fees AGAIN, from $1,250 to $2,500 a month.
That’s nearly SIXTEEN TIMES what they paid five years ago.
And the meeting?
It was held over ZOOM.
Menson says they’ll be forced out with nowhere to go, because no one will buy a house carrying fees like that.
So they went to the state for help.
The North Carolina Attorney General’s office told Channel 9 there are NO STATUTES limiting how much an HOA can charge.
None.
As long as the board follows its own documents, it can charge whatever it wants.
In Jill Menson’s words:
“Nobody is helping us.”
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!

I just spoke with Andrii Telizhenko and unfortunately his situation is exactly the same as it was a week ago. He remains under sanctions and he has heard nothing from anyone about when they might be lifted. This is a another example, not that we needed it, of deep state obstruction and government malfeasance. The White House posted on its official page the evidence that not only exonerates Andrii but also shows that he was set up by corrupt officials. Yet, somehow that is not enough.

You are so busted @MarcEElias
This will be delicious. 👍
In the Summer of 2025, Mary Peltola’s campaign was instructing staffers to "find as many Dan Sullivans as they could."
They didn’t stop there. The Democrat campaign was also attempting to form a fake "MAGA party" to pull votes from Sen. Sullivan. They consulted this plot with Jacquelyn Lopez from the Elias Law Group.
In the Summer of 2025, Mary Peltola was paying Marc Elias thousands for legal fees. 🤯

This isn’t just about Alaska. As per the NYT, this deceitful operation involved the national party apparatus and its attorneys. This is what Democrats do. They have contempt for the (legal) voting public. They exist to TRICK, RIP-OFF and DISENFRANCHISE the voters.

Rant: Got last minute travel today, so won't be doing a Democracy Files drop today.
But saw that the person at the center of the files posted about "unimaginable horrors."
Let me tell you why I got interested in "democracy" in the first place.
I've told this story many times, but here again: I was DOGE adjacent from the very beginning. I was recruited by several DOGE teams in January 2025, because I was excited about the opportunity to finally cut spending and taming the national debt.
Bu then - Tesla Takedown protests happened. People got so worked up that they were firebombing innocent Tesla owners. A viral website with a Molotov cocktail cursor prominently featured my husband's address. I was doxxed in the middle of that, and forced to flee the state and homeschool my children.
That's when I started researching and writing UNELECTED. I quickly found the groups organizing and funding the civil unrest were all about "democracy." It made no sense to me. DOGE wasn't overturning elections. They were cutting obviously silly awards - given our national deficit, who would object to that?
Silly me!
Turns out "democracy" means diffused rule by unelected people, and all that USAID money going to marginalized groups to build a "civil society" is the foundation of that. So the immune system of "civil unrest" can be activated anytime, and terrorize anyone who dares to step out of line. Such as DOGE employees. Such as me and my family.
That research trail led me all the way to DemAID (now DRG), a group of ex-USAID officers. Led by you and Ro Tucci. @iamlisalogan and @SKDoubleDub33 found DemAID on video taking credit for these protests.
But this isn't about me. This is about the United States. And about the dozens of countries wrecked by color revolutions. You aren't solving polarization. You are the source of polarization, because in the process of building "civil society," you are displacing people's inborn allegiances and training them up to attack the very foundations a nation are founded upon.
Nor is this about revenge or anger. I'm calling on everyone to pray that no more damage is done, and that we can find a path forward that preserves our Constitutional Republic.

She sat in the corner. Not because she was quiet. Because the room had already decided she wasn’t part of the conversation.
For years she watched meetings happen around her. Her partner typed. She typed back. Nobody looked—until the CEO finally asked what she was saying. First time in forty years.
She is deaf. She has been since she was two. She does not speak. Fifteen years inside the biggest tech companies, building systems while decisions moved past her.
Then she mapped the money. During the LA fires she followed a donation link. Forty percent never reached the people who had lost their homes. Once she saw it, she could not unsee it.
The data had always been public. Almost no one had looked. She built the tools. They published her name. She confirmed it herself and kept going.
What she found was a system with almost no accountability to the people whose money it spends. She had spent years in rooms where her voice was ignored. Now the filings were speaking.
That is the story. A woman who sat silent for years, who finally looked at what was already written down, and who decided the rest of us should see it too.
