Over the past week, there has been reports that numerous US politicians have received the same mysterious letter.
The characteristics of the letter are as follows:
- Return address says DSA with an address that Democratic Socialist’s of America does not use
- Post Office mark says San Antonio Texas
- Several reports say that the letter contains white powder
- At least one report says that the powder was identified as harmless
I haven’t seen the media do real investigating into this incident.
I would like to create an archived list of public statements published by US politicians. For example, if the politician has tweeted or made a press statement about a mysterious letter in the past week. Some have even posted photos of the letter.
There are 435 congress members and 100 senators. If you know of any public statements, please post a link in a comment.
Please share public information only. No private info, gossip, etc.

This is a related thread I posted 4 days ago

Return address looks like it was done with a typewriter. Can’t help but feel this is a really dumb boomer.
All things considered, this is going to be really easy to track down if the pigs feel like actually doing so.
There seems to be dozens, maybe hundreds, of reports of politicians receiving the same letter. It feels like the media is reporting it as all separate incidents, which is odd.
If it was done by some chud boomer, the Trump FBI might try to cover it up.
I’ve found multiple photos of the envelope that I reuploaded to Hexbear. I would like to find an image of the letter if any politician had uploaded the actual letter. One politician said that the letter called for a “civil war”.
I made this thread hoping that some other people would also have the same interest or if someone else had seen the letter.
supposedly USPIS is quite a competent branch of pigs but Trump might tell them to pound sand anyway
It looks monospaced and some letters go up and others down like an old bent typewriter. Typeface idk what’s with the Ã’s though is it Portuguese or something lol
This is 100% some dumb chud boomer that doesn’t understand how the post office works
we doing anthrax throwbacks now?
that was actually the part of the whole 9/11 shit that kind scared me a little bit.

Our psyops are no longer convincing because of WOKE.
I feel like whoever is behind this does not understand how postage works
So not a postal employee
May I see the white powder?

This article published yesterday by The Guardian says that at least 36 Politicians have published statements about receiving the same letter. The article says that FBI believes at least 100 of the same letter were mailed. The article says that the letters reach at least 15 states.

I’ve also noticed that a twitter account called “DataRepublican” has made allegations that the DSA is trying to start a civil war. Tim Pool just uploaded a video to youtube saying that these letters are evidence of an impending civil war.
I don’t know if HBs generally know this part of the grifter lore, but DataRepublican is sort of a sadly comical case and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
I know that DataRepublican and Tim Pool are not to be taken seriously. I included that to say that there seems to be some kind of right wing conspiracy forming.
DataRepublican was recently involved in doxxing a left wing email website called Autisitici/Inventati, which was also targeted with OFAC sanctions by Marco Rubio. DataRepublican is also a former US Government employee or something? Definitely a fed.
Tim Pool is definitely a fed. He had a private dinner with Netanyahu. Also Tim Pool is favored by Trump, he was selected to be in the White House press pool after Trump banned a bunch of reporters.
DataRepublican
that’s the a/i hacker
Tim Pool something something impending civil war.
Texas Rep Al Green published a youtube video about the letter that he received.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I ran this through Kimi K3 which in my experience is good at this, it gives me the following:
Archived Public Statements: “Mysterious Letter” / White-Powder Mailings to U.S. Politicians
Compiled: October 21, 2026 Incident window: ~October 13 – October 21, 2026 (ongoing)
Incident summary

- Postmark: San Antonio, Texas (confirmed by multiple recipients, e.g., Moulton, Torres, Al Green, Subramanyam).
- Contents: white powder in many letters; all tested substances so far determined to be non-hazardous (Ricketts, Torres, Moulton, Wisconsin Elections Commission, etc.).
- Under investigation by the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and U.S. Capitol Police. Reports indicate 100+ letters may be in the mail system; 40+ members of Congress affected per press tallies.

This seems correct. Thanks.
Kimi is shockingly good at research specifically, I tend to avoid short things because it’s relatively slow, but for long research things like this Kimi does well as it will do a really long chain of searches and deep dive with secondary searches and multiple passes over information, the output for this took 4-5 minutes of work and at least 15 steps which is quite a long time. I have it running a weekly list of “ruling class who have died” (bit more involved than that as a prompt) because I’m keeping an eye out for suspicious circumstances. Most of your post was pretty good as a prompt, what fed in was:
