Leaked audio from private calls among former USAID employees shows a coordinated effort to rally international allies against the current U.S. administration. These individuals, many dismissed shortly after President Trump’s inauguration in January, shifted their internal discussions to encrypted Signal chats just before the transition. From there, they connected with foreign partners and nongovernmental organizations to build what one participant called “a global anti-authoritarian movement.”
Is this an attempted coup? Treason? The Deep State trying to retain control? All of the above? The people involved may claim it was a harmless exercise in venting against an administration that opposed their missions, but this certainly seems a lot bigger than that.
The revelations come from an X thread by user @DataRepublican, who shared clips from the recordings. In one segment, a speaker outlines plans to involve overseas experts: “We don’t have to be intermediaries, either. We can bring in actors, or colleagues from around the world, that dealt with this directly, very specific issues… Whether that’s on tackling corruption or how to respond to corruption, mobilizing around corruption, we can bring those folks in, and kind of be those facilitators.”
This builds on earlier reports of domestic organizing. In July 2025, NOTUS detailed how ex-USAID officials formed groups like DemocracyAID, led by figures such as Ro Tucci and Danielle Reiff. Tucci, once director of USAID’s Center for Democracy, Human Rights and Governance, has conducted workshops on resistance tactics drawn from historical insurgencies. Reiff started the initial Signal group to keep the network alive after the firings.
The recordings point to deeper ties. Participants mention coordination with Johns Hopkins University and spaces focused on international democracy and conflict mitigation. Another clip justifies the global approach: “The authoritarians are already globally networked.”
The effort extends to a web of nonprofits and foundations, including links to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Soros-backed entities like 50501 and Indivisible, which organized protests in February.
One speaker frames the situation dramatically: “The foment of our current constitutional crisis is our opportunity to catalyze and synergize a dynamic change-making. A dynamic change, making fractal ecosystems capable of co-generating the emergence of the new… based social-political-economic governance systems.”
Yet no such crisis exists—Trump’s election and inauguration followed constitutional processes, and his team has complied with court rulings. These actions suggest an attempt to manufacture unrest rather than address real issues.
The network’s scale is vast, with hundreds of NGOs involved in what appears to be a supranational push to reshape American institutions from the ground up. USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives, typically used for stabilizing foreign nations under crisis, gets referenced in the calls, raising questions about misuse of expertise meant for abroad. This comes amid broader tensions, including the government shutdown, where Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats are holding out to extend their Covid-era temporary Obamacare subsidies.
Such maneuvering behind the scenes erodes trust in institutions and invites foreign influence into domestic affairs. With billions in funding from elite donors flowing through these channels, the goal seems clear: sideline populist voices and prevent another Trump-era shift. Voters chose stability and sovereignty in 2024; these holdouts appear determined to override that mandate through shadow networks. Awareness of these tactics is the first step in defending elected leadership.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Treason! Hang them all!
Once again, will anyone involved be arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned?
No.
Hang these traitors.
You have to stomp the life out of these traitorous groups they will rise again.
It is way past time to arrest and punish the traitors in our midst. I do not care if they are ex presidents, or former First Ladies, military or members of congress. Charge them with treason. Now.
Many people have screamed treason in the past. Some warranted, some not. This time, the crime of treason fits the bill. These people should be dealt with severely. THIS is treason.
BOLD IN OUR FACE DECLARING TO THEIR MEMBERS AND THE

SOON THE MOB WILL BE VERY HUNGRY
She lost. Get over it.
PDT killed off USAID just in time, maybe even a tad late. Now…. all these effing NGO’s have to get chopped off at the ankles!
Anybody here who thinks there will be justice on this is smart enough to buy the bridge I have for sale. No, it’s not the one in Brooklyn, that one was bought by the DNC, the one I have is originally from Baltimore and is named the Francis Scott Key Bridge but is being stored for safe keeping and Bubba’s We Buy Scrap Metals Inc. in “Some assembly required” form. Just give me a call and set up a time to meet and view the bridge. Oh, the bridge comes with a personal signature from a former US president.
“The foment of our current constitutional crisis is our opportunity to catalyze and synergize a dynamic change-making. A dynamic change, making fractal ecosystems capable of co-generating the emergence of the new… based social-political-economic governance systems.”
A complete nonsense statement intended to impress the group, and drawing on what they learned from their “studies” degree. These people would be a joke if they weren’t in control of so many NGOs and government agencies. They are everywhere, and they all share this mindset.
The Repubs are complicit, they could have nuked the filibuster and didn’t. They claim the filibuster is sacred. On day one of Dem control of the Senate the filibuster will be nuked, so do it now and atleast get something done.
This has to be minimum espionage but will anyone even do anything?
And no indictments will be filed. No one will suffer any consequences for anything. Trump will still cover up the Israeli Epstein crime syndicate for his boss Miriam.
This is treason I need to be arrested and punished accordingly
