Project Arctic Frost: The FBI’s Secret Hit List of 92 Republicans
Charlie Kirk’s group was on the list. Now he’s dead. And they’re still dodging questions.
Good Morning, it’s Wednesday, September 17th, 2025.
Imagine this: You run a youth organization that hosts college debates, waves flags, and talks about the Constitution. Then one day, you find out the FBI put you on a list — a secret investigation, buried in a classified file, authorized by an administration that just lost an election. That’s exactly what happened to Charlie Kirk. And now he’s dead.
Today, we dive into Project Arctic Frost — a political dragnet that targeted 92 Republicans, unearthed by Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson in a Senate hearing that turned into a firestorm. FBI Director Kash Patel was in the hot seat, defending the bureau’s purges, Epstein secrecy, and the fact that Turning Point USA was under surveillance long before Kirk’s assassination.
We’re not talking about hypotheticals. We’re talking subpoenas. Internal memos. DNA evidence. And a government apparatus that still hasn’t answered for its own abuses.
Don’t just read this — share it.
And hit reply if you’ve had enough of government gaslighting.
Not a conspiracy. Not theory.
Every page of this report is sourced, documented, and compiled by researchers behind two of the most aggressive political briefings in the country. It’s not opinion — it’s policy.
What Is Project Arctic Frost?
FBI secretly investigated 92 Republicans — including TPUSA and the RNC
What You Need to Know:
A secret FBI operation dubbed “Arctic Frost” targeted conservative groups after the 2020 election — including Turning Point USA, the RNC, and 90 others. The mission? Probe links to Trump’s challenge of the election results.
Why It Matters:
• The federal government treated political opposition as criminal.
• Charlie Kirk’s group was targeted before his assassination.
• The DOJ sat on this until now — and no one’s been held accountable.
The Real Story:
Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson just cracked open the FBI’s Arctic Frost files. What they reveal: a sprawling, J. Edgar Hoover-style surveillance op against Trump allies.
92 groups and individuals were swept up in the probe.
Targets included TPUSA, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and the Republican National Committee.
The FBI subpoenaed bank records, emails, and strategy docs related to “false claims” and “alternate elector slates.”
This wasn’t national security. It was political suppression dressed up as legal process.
The kicker? The same FBI that couldn’t find Hunter Biden’s laptop password had thousands of documents on Charlie Kirk — a man they later called a “threat vector” in internal memos leaked post-mortem.
Kash Patel, now FBI Director under Trump, was grilled in the Senate. He fired back:
“You fall short? You don’t work there anymore.”
He also confirmed DNA evidence led to the arrest of Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson — whose online chatter is now under investigation.
But the elephant in the room remains:
Why was Charlie Kirk under FBI investigation before he was gunned down?
What They Don’t Want You To See:
“In total, 92 Republican targets… placed under the investigative scope of Arctic Frost.” – Sen. Chuck Grassley, Judiciary Hearing, Sept. 16
The FBI didn’t just overstep — it waged war on the Right. “Arctic Frost” wasn’t an investigation. It was a political hit list. And with Charlie Kirk’s blood still fresh, the American public deserves answers — fast.
Trump’s “Tango” Diplomacy Faces Zelensky Ire
Peace talks stall as Ukraine fumes over Trump’s “shadow oil” pressure
Donald Trump says he’s ready to get Putin and Zelensky in the same room — because, apparently, no one else can.
But Zelensky isn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet.
At a recent press gaggle, Trump laid it bare:
“It takes two to tango. Zelensky and Putin hate each other… looks like I’ve got to sit in the room with them.”
He also slammed Europe for still buying “shadow oil” from Russia and warned Zelensky to “make a deal.”
Zelensky responded with diplomatic shade, blaming the U.S. for dragging its feet on sanctions. He slammed the Alaska summit for giving Putin “a way out of isolation,” but cautiously signaled openness to a three-way summit — if Trump gets serious about security guarantees.
Trump’s peace push now hinges on a UN meeting in New York next week.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Trump is “trying everything possible” to end the war.
Trump admits it’s been “much more difficult than expected,” but believes real peace requires face-to-face pressure.
NATO just scrambled jets after Russian decoy drones entered Polish airspace — a not-so-subtle reminder that Europe is still sitting on a powder keg.
Kash Patel vs. the Senate Swamp
Shouting matches, Epstein bombshells, and a Booker prediction: “Trump will cut you loose.”
FBI Director Kash Patel didn’t just show up to the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing — he came swinging.
What was supposed to be a routine oversight session turned into political theater, with Patel lobbing haymakers at Adam Schiff (“political buffoon”) and Cory Booker (“falsehoods are an embarrassment”) while dodging claims of political purges inside the bureau.
Patel’s appearance comes on the heels of:
New lawsuits from fired FBI officials claim loyalty tests and political retaliation.
Questions about the agency’s incomplete Epstein disclosures.
Heat over his handling of the Charlie Kirk assassination probe.
Democrats went for the jugular:
Booker warned Patel he’s “not going to be around long.”
Schiff accused him of “retaliatory firings” and political revenge.
Blumenthal straight-up called him a liar.
Patel didn’t flinch:
“I don’t receive directions. I make the decisions. And I don’t shy away from it.”
The real grenade? Reports of agents being polygraphed over political views, right-wing podcasters influencing firings, and a quietly growing list of ousted field directors — 18 of 53 and counting.
As for Epstein? Patel blamed “original sin” prosecutors for botching it in 2006, but admitted:
“The American people want names… and they deserve them.”
Bottom Line:
Patel’s FBI is either cleaning house — or turning the bureau into a Trump loyalty lab. Either way, he’s not playing defense. He’s swinging like a man with nothing to lose.

Nancy Mace moves to censure Ilhan Omar. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a censure resolution against Rep.

Kirk Shooter’s dad admits to child porn charges. The elderly man initially arrested in connection with Charlie Kirk’s shooting has now confessed to possessing and distributing child porn, according to police. Cops say the man helped his son, Tyler Robinson, flee the scene and covered up key evidence. From political violence to child exploitation — the rot runs deep. Read more
Drones: The next 9/11? A House hearing on Tuesday revealed chilling gaps in America’s drone defense systems. Lawmakers were told rogue drones could “cripple infrastructure or deliver bio-agents” — and we’re nowhere close to ready. Some members warned that a drone swarm attack is “not a question of if, but when.” One witness called it “a national security Katrina waiting to happen.” Read more
Together with The Ledger
They called it Project Arctic Frost. The files show what it really was: a hit list.
92 Republicans swept up. Subpoenas flying. Charlie Kirk’s group was labeled a “threat vector.”
And now — after his assassination — we’re left with the brutal question: why was Kirk already in the FBI’s crosshairs?
The latest Ledger decodes the fallout: how surveillance ops, assassinations, and political violence fuse into Trump’s next doctrine — Protect the Movement.
The federal government weaponized law enforcement against its own citizens — then acted shocked when things spiraled.
Charlie Kirk is gone. The media moved on. But the receipts are still surfacing — and the fingerprints lead right back to the same institutions telling you to “trust the process.”
They don’t want oversight. They want obedience.
And thanks to Grassley, Patel, and an unrelenting conservative base, the curtain’s finally starting to rip.

P.S. The FBI called it “Arctic Frost.” Grassley calls it a hit list. 92 Republicans — including Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA — were secretly investigated. The latest Ledger decodes what this means for the movement post-assassination.
