Our research and analysis

After the election

DataRepublican's release prompted this page, but the research, findings and conclusions here are ours, not hers.

Where things stand (Nov. 9, 2026): the scenario the network planned for did not happen. Democrats won the House and are projected to hold at least 54 Senate seats, and President Trump said he is "absolutely willing to accept those results." There was no contested result to declare illegitimate, no "meltdown" and no call to fill the streets. The plan's emergency track had nothing to react to.

What changes is the question. Before the vote it was "will they reject the election?" Now it is "what will they do with power?" On Jan. 3 Democrats take every committee gavel. Sen. Slotkin has said their "signature cases" are ready, and the network's longer project, rewriting how the country is governed by 2028–29, now has a majority to work through. This page tracks, with dates and sources, whether what was planned is being carried out.

The first concrete move came and went. On Nov. 10 the House voted 211–204 to send Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-KY) eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee rather than to a floor vote, killing the push for the rest of this Congress; Massie was the only Republican who voted against tabling it. DataRepublican's Part 15 (Nov. 5) had argued the impeachment was a "Trojan horse": six of the eight articles charge Hegseth with carrying out President Trump's own "unlawful orders," so a conviction would require ruling the President's orders unlawful first. That the articles were written by a Republican is what made the charge bipartisan, and the incoming House Armed Services chair, Rep. Adam Smith (D), had said the quiet part out loud: Hegseth has "a bigger chance of getting a stronger bipartisan vote," and "there are Republicans who would support impeaching Hegseth who might not support doing it to Trump." The vote shows House Republicans held the line: impeachment is the Constitution's own remedy, and Massie says he opposes impeaching Trump; the "first move toward Trump" reading was DataRepublican's, and nothing shown ties Massie to the network. We track it below.

The second question — what happens if the losing side refuses to accept the result — got its own answer this week. As calls spread on X for the election not to be certified or the new Congress not to be seated on Jan. 3, DataRepublican released a Nov. 8 Special Edition, "On Crossing the Rubicon," aimed at her own side. She checks the five most-shared "fraud" claims and finds none proves what it claims (while insisting "none of this is proof that fraud doesn't exist"), says the real problems — Alaska's two-Dan-Sullivans "ballot composition project," proprietary voting code, missing audits — "should be litigated fully in court," and documents that refusing to certify has been tried (Wayne County MI, Otero County NM, Cochise County AZ — all certified within days) and that the one untried move, refusing to seat a new majority, is exactly what the other side has "planned for, in writing": a 2020 Transition Integrity Project war-game, Indivisible's toolkit, and an April 2026 organizing document whose own section is headed "when the Rubicon is crossed," triggered "if duly elected leaders are not seated," with "permits for January 3rd and 4th in DC." For this page, that matters in a specific way: the documented plans below are a response to a result's being rejected, and after Nov. 3 that trigger, if it comes, would be pulled by the President's side, not the network's — which is the move DataRepublican is urging against.

How to read this page: each entry is matched to a step in the network's own plans, shows the source, and says where the evidence stops. Most of what is tracked here (hearings, subpoenas, lawsuits, protests, bills) is lawful. The question is whether it follows a plan made in advance, and against whom. Entries are added by the daily update.

Their planned steps, and where each stands

Planned step (their own files)StatusWhat would count as carrying it out
Declare the result illegitimate ("red lines," the governors memo)Not triggered. Their side won.Named groups or officials calling a certified result illegitimate.
Mass mobilization ("the go," UDA, No Kings, Pace e Bene's shutdown checklist, the April 2026 "when the Rubicon is crossed" plan: occupations, general strikes, permits for "Jan. 3 and 4 in DC")Not triggered. Their own triggers are "if duly elected leaders are not seated" or results "sabotaged or ignored" — none of which has happened.Called strikes, walkouts or mass actions, and who called them; any permits pulled for Jan. 3–4 in DC.
Lawsuits (Eisen: "Project 126," "our complaints are already written")Mostly moot. The live certification fight is in Alaska and runs the other way (log below).Cases actually filed, with dockets.
Impeach / remove the administration (Massie's Hegseth articles; Part 15's "Trojan horse"; the "resist unlawful orders" campaign)Stalled. The House voted 211–204 on Nov. 10 to send the articles to the Judiciary Committee instead of a floor vote, killing the push for this Congress; Massie was the only Republican opposed to tabling it.Would need a revival in a future Congress, or the Judiciary Committee taking it up.
Jan. 3 seating (Part 12's crisis date; the April 2026 plan's trigger, "if duly elected leaders are not seated")Mississippi decided; Alaska pending. AP called Mississippi for Democrat Scott Colom on Nov. 11; Alaska certifies Nov. 18, with preliminary ranked-choice data showing Dan J. Sullivan's voters breaking toward Democrat Mary Peltola over Sen. Dan Sullivan. The documented plans turn on a seating fight that, after a Democratic win, only the President's side could start; nothing so far points to either seat being contested.A certification refused or a member not seated.
Foreign recognition (RAD's "Heads of State" line)Moot.Foreign governments taking sides on U.S. results.
"Fulcrum Caucus" of independentsFailed for 2026. Osborn, Bengs, Achilles and Bodnar all lost.A new independent slate for 2028.
"Signature cases" and accountability (Slotkin; Poland's "iron broom")Live from Jan. 3.Investigations or subpoenas aimed at the officials and projects Slotkin named: Noem, Burgum, Pirro, the ballroom, the Reflecting Pool, "$200 million from the Defense Department."
"Trump-proofing" the presidency (Slotkin), RAD's Article V "moderate strategy," the "People's Proposal" by January 2028Launching. The Nationwide Deliberation Campaign's public roundtables run Nov. 16–20, 2026, feeding reports in December and a five-layer process starting January 2027.Bills limiting presidential power, constitutional-convention resolutions, the Deliberation Campaign's proposal.
The "new founding" and 2029 (PolicyLink's blueprint; Slotkin's "Project 2029"; the organizer's "come 2029")The long game.Transition planning for 2029, and who staffs it.
Federal workers' "blocking" (FWAD)Watching.Documented refusals of lawful orders by organized federal staff.
