We will kick off the Patriot Source Podcast 30 minutes early tonight at 9 PM ET / 8 PM CT to finish going over the last 4 video files from the Democracy Files (Part 8 - 11). We will immediately roll into the Pray, America! live prayercast over on Tiktok. For those of you watching on YouTube, Rumble, and X, there is no need to jump to Tiktok. We will be broadcasting the prayercast across all destinations starting at 10 PM ET.

That’s better!

Danielle Reiff appears repeatedly throughout the “democracy files” exposed by @DataRepublican, @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan . She’s a former State Department diplomat and RAD co-coordinator involved in emergency scenario planning, tabletop exercises and discussions about governors, a “Third Continental Congress” and alternative leadership during a federal legitimacy crisis. The more I watch this September 8 meeting, the less it feels like a normal panel discussion and the more it feels like a sales pitch. The organizers made Reiff a co-host, gave her a dedicated presentation slot and said they were “front-loading” the meeting around Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs’s scheduled arrival. They then introduced her as a “key leader” in Renew to Thrive and told Hobbs she was about to present “real thought work” taking place across the country. Reiff starts by establishing her credentials and explaining the RAD strategy. She then walks everyone through three “democratic emergency” scenarios: an election meltdown, an Insurrection Act deployment and elected members of Congress being denied their seats. Then she gets to the proposed response. If the federal government became “literally illegitimate,” Reiff said they were discussing “provisional or transitional leadership.” She floated a “cross-partisan group of governors” temporarily keeping the country running, possibly with former Presidents Bush and Obama helping lead the response. Hobbs listened to the entire presentation. When she finished, he told her, “Danielle, that was great. I’d love to maybe talk to you over a beer,” and said he had held similar conversations with members of the German parliament and the Japanese government. Later, Hobbs called the federal government “kind of” an enemy of his office, offered his civic-engagement team to the organizations on the call and agreed to continued coordination. His Civic Engagement Program manager described the office as a “nexus” for outside organizations and said they had “the seal of the secretary” behind them. Faith leaders also presented their clergy rapid-response network, which they said was aligned with people’s organizations and labor leaders to “protect the election and protect election results.” To be clear, Hobbs never openly endorsed the transitional-leadership proposal. But the sequence matters. Reiff presented the threat, introduced RAD’s framework, offered a proposed response and left with new relationships and continued access to a sitting Secretary of State’s official team. I cut the more than two-hour recording down to eight minutes so everyone can watch the most important parts for themselves and hear the statements in context. It looks a lot less like an academic conversation and a lot more like an effort to get public officials and outside organizations aligned with the plan.

My motivation for spreading the Gospel has backslid from "Jesus cleanses your sins and gives eternal life" to "you will never hear the word 'democracy' in the Kingdom of Jesus"

One flaw in the plan. There are nearly twice as many GOP governors as Democrats. This is yet another harebrained scheme that will backfire in their faces if they try it.

Given the recent drops from @DataRepublican @SKDoubleDub33 @iamlisalogan @GrumpyTechBro on the Democracy Renewal Group, the public has finally heard their own spoken words. However, in this concise thread I am going to use a different approach and allow people to READ their own words. A thread:

You all need to start following Bree as well. Lisa Logan, Bree Sagdal, and myself were the first to expose “Thriving Together” in a publication that landed on the desks of officials from the Trump administration just about two years ago. Bree is brilliant on policy.

One of the things I learned in the Army is that an organization can accomplish amazing things if no one cares who gets credit. The Color Revolution represents a profound threat to our Constitution and our way of life. This is not about clicks and credit. It's about saving America. I stand with Data Republican because I know the risks she took to get this out there. Many of us have been warning about Deep State plots for years, but it was only DR who came up with the timely, TANGIBLE proof of the worst and most recent of those plots. Having said that, for our nation's sake it really does not matter WHO uncovered this, what matters is that we work together to get the word out from beyond X containment. The social media squabbling now about "credit" makes me angry and sick. Everybody needs to start rowing in the same direction, our nation is at stake. /Rant over

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.

Allow me to be the first to congratulate Harmeet Dhillon. By failing to indict Cassidy Hutchison, for lying to Congress, she inadvertently confirmed that Hutchison’s story, of Trump physically attacking his driver on J6, is absolutely true!

Just a reminder that the Color Revolution is not actually trying to overthrow President Trump. Nope. What they are actually trying to do is overthrow the Constitutional choice of We the People. That's what this is actually about. These ex-USAID/CIA/State/military cretins are coming after YOU. And they are doing it all to "protect our democracy." GRRRRRRRRR....😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

🚨🚨Language Manipulation🚨🚨 The NGOs on the left, including the ones that want to rewrite the U.S. constitution, have spent years systematically testing, refining, and embedding new meanings into the words Americans still trust - especially the word “freedom” - so that socialist ends can be advanced under familiar American language. This is not an organic cultural shift. It is a multi-layer, research-driven project with explicit tools, audience segmentation, deep narratives, and coordinated funding. Let me explain 👇🏼

Governors Action Alliance (GovAct): Founded/led by Julia Spiegel Julia Spiegel: • Former legal counsel and senior advisor to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. • Helped launch the Reproductive Freedom Alliance after Dobbs. • Previously worked as a senior advisor to Power when Power was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. GovAct acts as a centralized platform that incubates and supports governor alliances. Governors Safeguarding Democracy (GSD): • Launched publicly around November 13, 2024 (post-election), co-chaired by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. • Modeled on the earlier Reproductive Freedom Alliance. Related alliances under GovAct: • Reproductive Freedom Alliance (launched 2023 by Newsom • Governors Public Health Alliance (launched October 2025; mostly Democratic governors • Staff and related personnel have backgrounds at places like the Newsom administration, Common Cause, Demos, New York AG’s Civil Rights Bureau, and similar progressive legal/policy shops. • GovAct received a $500,000 grant in September 2024 from Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund, explicitly for coordinating governors’ work on “specific threats to American democracy” and “state and local accountability.” **Governors Safeguarding Democracy is fully backed and staffed through the Governors Action Alliance (GovAct), the umbrella group founded and led by Julia Spiegel (former legal counsel to California Gov. Gavin Newsom). GovAct handles the operational side, legal strategy, and coordination. One of their playbooks (Obtained by Government Accountability and Oversight and reported on by The Daily Signal): “Firewalling for Freedom – Template Gubernatorial Executive Order” or “Firewall for Freedom.” It includes: • Model executive orders for governors to issue. • Emails from GovAct staff (including CEO Julia Spiegel and special assistant Emma Clough). • Talking points. • Briefing invitations and white papers. • FAQs for governors’ offices • Emails show briefings scheduled for governors’ staff on executive actions to protect sensitive data and prepare for National Guard issues. • One January 2025 briefing featured Norm Eisen (State Democracy Defenders Fund) on “Day 1 EOs.” • Internal FAQs listed priority areas including “Preparing to mitigate the impacts of mass deportation and related operations.” **Allegra Chapman: • Managing Director of Governors Safeguarding Democracy (also described in some reporting as policy director on democracy for GovAct). • Director of voting and education at Common Cause. • Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Bureau, New York State Attorney General’s Office (under Eric Schneiderman; handled racial and sex discrimination cases). • Staff counsel / voting rights litigator at Demos. • Later ran her own consultancy (AAC Consulting) advising civil rights and democracy-reform groups. • Board chair of 100% Democracy Initiative; board member of Verified Voting Foundation.
