Bringing transparency to those undermining our democracy under the guise of protection. Fighting to return decision-making power to elected representatives.

Democracy Restored sent a letter to DHS Secretary Mullin calling for a review of the department’s contracts with Microsoft. Recently declassified documents revealed the company’s director of insider risk, former FBI official Nikki Floris, allegedly withheld CCP election interference intelligence from the president ahead of the 2020 election. Floris also claimed that she was “basically running a shadow government across the FBI.” Floris’ alleged activity and subsequent employment with one of the largest government vendors that handles critical digital infrastructure and services necessitates serious scrutiny. Especially in light of Microsoft’s recent history with contracting engineers based in China.

More details are emerging about just how far Jack Smith’s investigation went. Investigators obtained phone records from more than a dozen Republican Members of Congress and secured gag orders that kept them from knowing. Separate records show Smith’s team accessed private text messages involving 44 Members of Congress while apparently bypassing DOJ’s own filter process meant to protect privileged communications. Unelected bureaucrats abusing their investigatory powers against representatives of the people of the United States cannot be given a pass.
Jack Smith and his team: -Spied on the communications of over a dozen Republican Members of Congress -Obtained gag orders to prevent Members from knowing -Violated the DOJ's own procedures to review the content of private text messages -Ignored the Constitution every step of the way

A newly released email shows an FBI agent recommended opening a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION into Elon Musk’s effort to make federal employees document what they actually accomplished at work. Think about that: an effort to bring basic accountability to the federal workforce was met with a recommendation for investigation by law enforcement. Another example of lunatic bureaucratic resistance meant to undermine the agenda of the duly elected president.

Federal unions are suing over new rules that make it easier to remove federal employees for serious misconduct and change how performance is evaluated. Last we checked, Article 2 of the Constitution doesn't bestow upon unions the power to decide executive branch policy – it gives it to the president elected by We, the People.

25 years ago today, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were taken in the September 11 attacks. We remember the victims who never made it home, the first responders who ran toward danger, the heroes who fought back aboard Flight 93, and the families who have carried that loss every day since. A quarter-century has passed, but America must NEVER forget the lives lost, the courage shown, and the way our nation came together in the face of unimaginable evil.

Charlie Kirk wanted to be remembered for his courage in faith. Honoring his legacy means carrying that faith forward. Continue his mission. Stand for truth. Demand justice. But do not let anger turn into hatred. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or abandoning accountability. It means refusing to answer evil with more evil. We remember Charlie every day by carrying on his work, living out the faith he stood for, loving our neighbors, showing grace, and never letting hatred have the final word.

Zohran Mamdani’s administration reportedly utilizes a secret network of 200+ influencers who receive City Hall talking points, exclusive access, and content to push his agenda online. NYC PR agencies are paying unnamed influencers as much as $20,000 per campaign, often with TAXPAYER dollars. Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going and why.
NEWS The Columbia Journalism Review investigation into Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s 200+ influencer network on Signal to push his socialist agenda and propaganda raises significant taxpayer transparency problems and social media policy violations. Signal chats can disappear, plus CJR found they are not labeling their TikTok or Instagram posts as paid promotional content which violates their policies. Also, taxpayers can’t see the names of these influencers and who they are and who else could possibly *be funding them.* Mamdani’s office refuses to fully disclose their names to CJR. The network grew out of his campaign influencer group and is run by Mamdani aide Emilia Rowland. Influencers get exclusive access to City Hall, daily talking points and video clips, invitations to events and opportunities to interview city officials. CJR found that some NYC agencies separately pay influencers $5,000–$20,000 per campaign through taxpayer-funded marketing contracts. The campaigns cover issues including healthcare, voting, immigration, tenants’ rights and composting. Perhaps the most striking finding is the lack of transparency: City Hall has not provided the Signal group’s membership list, and procurement records don’t identify which individual influencers receive the money or how much they are paid. CJR identified 189 influencers with ties to the administration, while members said the Signal group has more than 200. CJR also found that disclosure of paid influencer content is inconsistent, with some posts clearly labeled as paid partnerships while others not. #BREAKING #BreakingNews #breaking #news #mamdani #Mamdani @x @Reuters @ap @FoxBusiness @EveningEdit @CJR @FoxNews @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani @instagram @Meta @facebook @tiktok_us

The FBI investigated two Catholic priests, monitored travel and communications, and ultimately found NO connection to criminal activity or violent extremism. Agents relied on biased and unverified material while conflating religious beliefs with extremism. This is what weaponized government looks like when federal power is turned against Americans for their beliefs.
🚨Weaponization Working Group Releases Report on 2023 FBI Richmond Field Office Memo That Targeted Non-Mainstream Catholics This report sheds further light on the targeting and investigation of non-mainstream Catholics under the previous administration. “This Department of Justice will not tolerate a weaponized bureaucracy that chills First Amendment activity,” said @AGToddBlanche. “The individuals who developed the Richmond Domain Perspective are no longer with the Department, and our Working Group’s efforts to investigate weaponization under the previous Administration will continue.” Read the report here: justice.gov/opa/pr/weaponiza…

🚨UPDATE: The DHS Inspector General found that FEMA workers violated federal law and agency policy when they skipped 11 Florida homes displaying Trump signs after Hurricane Milton. Democracy Restored sued FEMA after the agency failed to respond to our FOIA request to find out how far this political discrimination went. We’re still fighting for the records.
After hurricanes hit Florida, a Biden administration FEMA employee told staff to SKIP OVER homes supporting then-President-elect Trump. Democracy Restored filed a FOIA request to find out how far that kind of political bias went inside the agency. Over a year later we’ve received NOTHING. No records. No response. Now, we’re taking FEMA to court to get answers the public never received. Stay tuned 👀

ROGUE federal employees allegedly used their USPS jobs to steal checks straight from Americans’ mail and feed a scheme involving nearly $24 MILLION. Federal employment cannot protect people who abuse the access their position gives them.
🚨 OMG. Three US Postal Service workers just got indicted for a $23 MILLION fraudulent check scheme — they stole mail that was to be delivered, then sold it to the orchestrator THESE ARE THE PEOPLE HANDLING OUR MAIL-IN BALLOTS This is why we need to severely restrict mail-in voting and pass the SAVE America Act! "The indictment says that the checks were then put up for sale on Telegram through a channel called slips and chips and shipped to buyers using FedEx. And this is a number right here. Federal prosecutors say it all adds up to nearly $24 million in stolen checks acquired and sold."

Public officials don't get to hide and operate outside the systems meant to hold them accountable to the American people. Preserving government records is part of that responsibility. Transparency and oversight only work when the records actually exist.
After an FBI investigation with our DOJ partners, Dr. Fauci’s associate, David Morens, just pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a scheme to avoid FOIA requests and the Federal Records Act connected to COVID-19 research grants. The FBI uncovered that Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, Co-Conspirator 2, and others conspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud the United States after the National Institutes of Health terminated Co-Conspirator 1’s grant. NIH terminated the grant, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China. Mr. Morens and his co-conspirators then agreed in writing to intentionally hide their communications from public view by corresponding through Morens’s personal Gmail account rather than his official NIH email account. This FBI investigation remains ongoing. No one is above the law. -DKP🇺🇸

The DEEP STATE is when unelected officials decide when intelligence reports should be released based on their own judgment about POLITICS, not the strength of the evidence. That’s what the NSA did according to a newly declassified memo. Leadership delayed a long-finished report on foreign election threats over concerns about being “accused of releasing it for political purposes” months before the 2020 election.

The National Academy of Sciences FINALLY pulled the biased climate science chapter from its scientific reference manual for federal judges, months after its taxpayer-funded partner Federal Judicial Center removed it. The manual is SUPPOSED to help judges evaluate scientific evidence, but the climate chapter was written by climate activist plaintiffs. This is the same manual Justice Elena Kagan wrote the foreword to (then testified she never even read) and President Donald Trump ordered an investigation into. Political agendas have no place in institutions meant to educate and set federal standards, especially for judges. dailycaller.com/2026/08/10/n…

With the use of the autopen, the question is WHO really authorized the decisions signed with it. If major presidential actions, like pardons, were signed WITHOUT clear authorization from the President, Americans need to know who made those decisions and under whose authority. That's a basic question of who was actually running the government.
🚨 UPDATE: President Trump indicates his administration is actively finding ways to circumvent the Biden autopen of Fauci, and OTHER autopen-signed documents "He signed everything in autopen except one: Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has an absolute pardon." "He will say he authorized [the others], but did he authorize it in writing? I doubt it." "The real question is: do you have to have it authorized in writing? The answer is probably so! Because he didn't do it in writing." "We're looking at it...by the way, there are things bigger than Fauci that you can challenge!"

The Office of Personnel Management is eliminating a Carter-era rule that required federal agencies to consider “disparate impact” in hiring, which the DOJ recently concluded encouraged “race-based decision-making” and VIOLATED the Constitution. Federal hiring must be based on MERIT not demographics. Hire the BEST person. Every time. federalnewsnetwork.com/hirin…

This is what happens when the Deep State WEAPONIZES the powers of government against the duly elected President. There must be accountability for those who actively UNDERMINE our democracy under the guise of protecting it.
🚨 BOMBSHELL DROP White House just declassified files showing Deep State operatives may have run a criminal conspiracy to crush Trump’s civil rights, according to John Solomon. FBI opened a full criminal probe treating Trump as a Russian agent simply for firing Comey. Codename: Oxford Comma. Goal? Force Mueller in. Rosenstein green-lit the whole thing knowing exactly why Comey was gone. Russia collusion was always a fraud. Time for consequences. Adam Schiff needs to be jailed too.

A judge who previously served as a legal director for an organization now facing federal indictment for conduct during her tenure deserves serious scrutiny.
Today, I sent a letter to Speaker Johnson & Chairmen Grassley, Jordan, and Comer requesting an impeachment inquiry into Judge Nancy Abudu. Judge Abudu served as SPLC’s Director of Strategic Litigation during part of its alleged fraud that funded the KKK with donor money.

The debate over Anthony Fauci misses the BIGGER issue. Holding unelected officials and public servants accountable for past policy choices is a central tenet of democratic oversight. Government bureaucrats who made consequential decisions affecting the lives of millions of Americans should expect to answer for them, regardless of when they left office.
