A national referendum · November 3, 2026

November 3
is the referendum.

The administration has governed by falsehood, self-dealing, and the abuse of public power. The documented record now spans three categories: 322 false statements contradicted by authoritative evidence, 117 incidents of corruption and self-enrichment, and 147 incidents of abuse of official power. No institution is coming to deliver a verdict. The Constitution already put one on the calendar. The 2026 midterm elections are a referendum on autocratic government, and every American holds a ballot.

  • I. I will vote on November 3, 2026.
  • II. I will encourage at least two people I know to vote in November 2026.
  • III. I will vote against any elected official, of any party, who I believe has enabled this administration's corruption and abuse of power.

The question on the ballot

Shall a government that lies to its people, defies its courts, and rewards its loyalists be continued, or be checked?

That question will not appear in those words on any ballot. But it is the question every ballot answers. Each House seat, each Senate seat, each statewide office on November 3 is held or sought by someone with a documented record on this administration's conduct: what they enabled, what they defended, what they excused, and what they opposed. The referendum is the sum of those individual verdicts.

The evidence base

One record. Three categories.

The referendum rests on documentation, not rhetoric. The record spans three categories, each independently sourced, tier-classified, and governed by a published five-stage editorial methodology with corrections and a standing right of reply.

The accountability standard

Who counts as an enabler? Conduct decides, not party.

The third commitment of the pledge applies a standard, not a label. Before you vote, ask three questions of every incumbent and every candidate on your ballot, of either party. The documented record, theirs and the administration's, supplies the answers.

Test one · Falsehood
Did they repeat or defend documented lies?
When the administration made statements contradicted by the documentary record (about elections, courts, the economy, public health), did this official amplify them, defend them, or stay silent while voting to act on them?
Test two · Oversight
Did they vote to disable the checks?
Did this official vote against subpoenas, against inspectors general, against contempt referrals, or against any lawful effort to examine the administration's conduct, or vote to excuse conduct after it was documented?
Test three · Self-dealing
Did they excuse the use of office for private gain?
When public office was used to enrich the officeholder, his family, or his loyalists, did this official defend it, profit from it, or vote to protect it from scrutiny?

An official of the President's own party who answers no to all three has nothing to fear from this pledge. An official of the opposition who answers yes to any of them does. The standard is the conduct. Read how to apply it →

"Autocracy is not defeated by persuading the autocrat.
It is defeated by outvoting the people who excuse him."

This campaign asks for no impeachment, no resignation, no intervention by any institution. Those demands ask someone else to act. The referendum asks you to act. In April 2026, Hungarian voters ended the most entrenched governing party in Europe (through a tilted map, captured media, and a saturation campaign of state disinformation) by converting exhaustion into the highest turnout since 1989. They did not out-argue the lies. They outvoted the system that depended on them. The United States holds its equivalent moment on November 3, 2026. The verdict belongs to no court, no committee, and no cabinet. It belongs to you.
