On January 29, 2021, it transitioned to the Republican Accountability Project (RAP), which focuses on defending "Republican principles", and attacking Republicans whom they hold responsible for the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol.[5] The organization has purchased ad campaigns to criticize members of the Republican Party, particularly those allegedly involved in the January 6 incident.
