See the proof for yourself
Every major claim in this investigation is backed by preserved public-web evidence. Start with the original figures, then go as deep as you want: public manifests, checksum ledgers, validation receipts and independent mirrors.
The investigation
We found two more sites—and 14 backdated articles—in One Nation's astroturf news network
Boho News found a live North Carolina site promoted with Senate Leadership Fund money and a One Nation-branded Michigan build in an SLF development environment, extending the visible production footprint from six properties to eight states. Five previously reported properties also carried 14 articles dated before their domains were registered.
Preservation
We froze what we saw before anyone had a reason to change it
Before outreach, Boho News preserved the relevant pages, ads, public records and technical material. If a footer disappears, a privacy policy is rewritten, an ad is removed or a staging page goes dark, the frozen record remains checkable.
We will continue monitoring the properties. After publication, any material change will be documented and reported as a change—not silently folded into the original record.

Machine-readable release manifest · SHA-256 ledger · Timestamp verification receipt
Independent preservation
Verified third-party mirrors for version 1.1.1
Boho News independently downloaded the complete 32-file release from each host and matched its inventory, bytes and SHA-256 values before listing it here.
Public-release boundary
Restricted material is counted—not exposed
The public manifest hash-accounts for restricted material without revealing identifying fields. The downloadable corpus excludes correspondence, credentials and authenticated sessions, unrelated personal information, security-sensitive records, unpublished newsroom analysis and unresolved leads.
Boho News will consider focused verification requests from directly affected parties, journalists, researchers or counsel. Depending on the material, that may mean a hash attestation, redacted excerpt, reviewed copy or supervised inspection.
Hashes prove exact bytes—not intent
SHA-256, signatures and timestamps let readers verify that a file is the same file Boho News released and that we possessed it by a particular time. They do not independently establish that every statement inside a captured page is true or explain why an operator made a particular choice.
If a correction requires different bytes, Boho News will issue a new numbered evidence version while preserving prior identifiers and hashes.
