Copy the public log and run its script. It reads only the public log: the signed copy of this record, the judgments behind it, the keys and the receipts. It recomputes each fingerprint and checks the proof, both signatures and the timestamps. It checks the signed copy in the log, not the text on this page:
git clone https://github.com/Macpire/ideology-integrity-log
cd ideology-integrity-log
npx tsx integrity/verify-record.ts --log us-midterm-2026 us-gop-speech --repo .To check that the text this site serves is that signed copy, add the site's address. Only this check ties the log to what you read here:
