We've identified 3 of the "researchers" responsible for the "DEI Watch List," a project of the American Accountability Foundation that targets Black federal employees.

Cari Fike, 38, of Cheverly MD
Elisabeth Guinard (nee Osloff), 34, of Helena MT
Adam Cahn, 43, of Austin TX

It's amateur hour over at the AAF. "Proofs" they included on their targets contains the names & faces of the researchers who created the list. Making rookie mistake in the big leagues 🤠. This video shows how they revealed their personal LinkedIn accts

The American Accountability Foundation, funded by the Heritage Foundation specifically to perform this targeting, is itself is a project of the Conservative Partnership Institute. And the wife of CPI's Senior Director Hugh Fike is one of the "researchers" we identifed: Cari Fike.

Cari Fike of Cheverly MD is a career GOP staffer, serving as Executive Director of the House Republican Policy Committee & chief of staff to multiple reps.

She's lobbied for Heritage Action -- the lobbying arm of Heritage Foundation, which created Project 2025.

Elisabeth Guinard (Osloff) of Helena MT was a low-level GOP political operative for 10+yrs til landing at AAP as an "Associate Researcher." She's very involved in the Russian Orthodox Church, which has strong ties to the far-right in both the US & Russia.

Adam Cahn is by all appearances a generic texas chud, despite being a marketing professional and graduate of a fancy private high school in Manhattan. He lives in Austin and works for Hat Creek Burger Company.

And Tom Jones, the Executive Director of AAF, was unsurprisingly involved in the "research" himself, with his personal LinkedIn appearing in at least one pieice of "proof" provided on their target list.

There's probably much more to look into, but this kind of thing isn't our jam. We collected a bit of additonal info that isn't included here, so if you're a journo, or just someone, who we wouldn't hate you can feel free to email us for that.

We don't know how to caption this one but it's funny.

Oh man you'd never believe this, but Adam promotes violence against his perceived political enemies.

Lucky for him, there are a lot of us whom he is incapable of perceiving 😎
