In your own words …
Every word is James Talarico’s.
27 clips. 4 minutes. 2019–2026.
“God is non-binary.”
“…many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.”
“If you deny your child’s gender identity… it’s abusive for sure.”
“There’s only one person who can determine a child’s gender identity, and that’s the child.”
“I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.”
“…the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children… All these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.”
“The way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is how I will fight for the U.S. Senate, and my position hasn’t changed.”
“Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness.”
“It’s always rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits…”
“Prison is violence.”
“Tear down this secret police force.”
Assault weapons ban? “Absolutely.”
Send this to 10 Texas voters and tell them to vote today.

Danielle Reiff, 8 Sep 2026: if members are not seated, “Congress would become illegitimate.” Then “provisional or transitional leadership of the country.”

Capitol agenda: Dem gavels are coming for Elon Musk politi.co/4dPcGpd
Good for you, Grumpy. Thank you.
They hid 1,600 names. Then they bragged about the titles.
NSL4A claimed 1,600 members and put three unpaid directors on its 990.
Bare names are a research problem. Which John Smith?
But they had to brag, so they published the titles:
13 cabinet secretaries, 11 deputies, 17 service secretaries, 18 four-stars, 7 senators, 9 House members, 5 governors or LGs.
Those are short lists.
John Howard Dalton is not a mystery. He was Clinton's Secretary of the Navy.
I matched 56 people against those lists, without even asking @DataRepublican yet.
Thanks, commies.
Pride goeth before destruction. Proverbs 16:18.

🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 4: YES, MANY ARE AWARE OF THE GOALS 🚨
This one is a thread because there are multiple materials.
On January 15, 2026, Renew American Democracy (RAD), the strategy built around the Democracy Renewal Group's (DRG) ex-USAID democracy officers, held planning exercises for "emergency scenarios" and how it'd affect their "strategic objectives."
RAD's explicit goal is in catalyzing those so-called "emergency scenarios" to manifest "structural reform" - the rewriting of American governance which the previous drops have covered.
RAD/DRG hold the unique role within the wider blocking / protest alliance of defining what the new government looks like, presumably because they are made of ex-USAID officers who have specialized in installing new governments. As @MikeBenzCyber last night said on his stream, these DRG members come from the CIA coup parts of USAID.
It's been suggested that DRG is just a fringe group within the much larger blocking/protest ecosystem. This morning's interim video mentioning Mike Smith disproved that. And PART 4 disproves that further - the wider network is well aware of DRG and that its goal is to secure a new government.
They will dress it in the language that it's Trump who will provoke it, and they're only preventing a true Constitutional crisis. In reality, there's a million ways to interpret what a "red line" is, and many ways to get Trump to cross it. Already, articles everywhere are telegraphing that Trump *will* cross it in the form of the Insurrection Act or martial law, softening us up for the coup ahead.
The materials I'm showing you are from a RAD/DRG-ran planning exercise in January 2026. Groups represented by participants include:
· National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A)
· Freedom Trainers / Beautiful Trouble
· Team Democracy
· Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy
· Civil Service Strong
· Project 2029
· Braver Angels
· Indivisible
· Better Together America
· Center for Collaborative Democracy
· Democracy Accelerator
· Paths to Understanding
· Co-Intelligence Institute
· Cohesion Strategy
· Community-Vision Solutions
One of the working groups concerned "National Deliberations" - which lays the groundwork for structural reforms post-crisis. So every single participant in this forum was well aware the end point is rewriting our governance.
Even more interesting, Tanya Alfredson of @BraverAngels participated in this particular working group - which should give pause to anyone who believes Braver Angels simply wants better dialogue.
As you watch the videos, watch out for the code language they use to hint towards the ultimate end goal.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

JOIN US - @XSpaces Thursday evening with @DataRepublican @CynicalPublius - A LOT has been dropped on you the past few days- now it's time for you to know what your role is in the preservation of the country.
The Part 4 receipts from a Renew American Democracy Forum appear to indicate that all of the members of the working groups were aware of the goals.

Don't follow the money. I did, and look where it led.
PACT, Inc. An NGO nobody's ever heard of.
I asked @MikeBenzCyber about it. Old CIA front.
Now it's showing up in @DataRepublican's Insurrection files.
In 2023 the USG paid it $375M to destroy democracy.

Is anyone paying attention to what is going on?
Listen to former USAID official Danielle Reiff’s discussion with retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, who allegedly felt confident about overthrowing President Trump before January 3.
The military/police is one of six pillars in the Pillars of Support training materials promoted by Horizons Project/Freedom Trainers.

When is @IngrahamAngle going to report on this?!
It is difficult to tell the difference between U.S. actors with USAID experience and the foreign civil society leaders advising them.
As DataRepublican drops more receipts, it is becoming clear that tactics developed and funded overseas by Open Society Foundations, the National Democratic Institute, the National Endowment for Democracy, and USAID are now being applied in the United States.

If you’re like me, you want names and faces attached to anyone positioning themselves to shape the future of this country, how it is governed, and the decisions that will land on your life, your family, your children, and your grandchildren. I don’t want some shadow figure quietly deciding my government is null and void without at least knowing who they are and what credentials they claim for making that call for every American at once. DataRepublican just laid out the connective tissue behind the post-midterm plans, and I put the ten key persons of interest in one place so you can see the actual people, their backgrounds, and the organizations they currently run. (Five-minute read.)

The image of the person deciding the future of the United States. (Yeah... I don't remember electing her either.)
Say "Hello" to Danielle M. Reiff: Retired U.S. diplomat who spent roughly 20 years with USAID. She and her friends know better than you about how the country should be run.
You better get to know her and pay attention to what she and her comrades are doing.
Listen to former USAID official Danielle Reiff’s discussion with retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, who allegedly felt confident about overthrowing President Trump before January 3.
The military/police is one of six pillars in the Pillars of Support training materials promoted by Horizons Project/Freedom Trainers.
Consider this Democracy Files 3.5.
Note in the video that they are pretty confident that a "breakthrough" will happen that gets rid of Trump sometime between now and January 3rd, and Mike Smith allegedly acknowledges RAD's role in writing the government that comes after.
Another drop coming later this morning.

Despite the craziness of blue states, there are still patriotic Americans who stand fast in those states and try to save them. New Jersey is such a state, and GOP State Assemblyman John Azzariti is such a patriotic American.
(John’s X account is @JohnAzzaritiNJ; full disclosure, he and I have known each other since we were both toddlers.)
This video is incredible. It explains in concrete, measurable terms how Democrats destroy their own states through onerous taxation and regulation. While this video talks about New Jersey residents fleeing to Tennessee, it is emblematic of the entire exodus from all blue states.
Please watch and share, if so inclined.
(P.S., John needs to run for governor! He is that rare politician who is beholden to no one other than his own values.)

Holy smokes, it's full flown treason at this point. Involving foreign adversaries in the plan to create a "crisis of legitimacy" for the purpose of toppling the federal government and the US Constitution is no longer just sedition. It's treason.
But when you find out that many of our own media outlets have been operating right along side of this plan the entire time. You will begin to understand why President Trump kicked them out of the White House.
Now the Washington Post article from today makes perfect sense. They were engaging in the research proven color revolution technique of "pre-bunking".
🚨🚨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.)
