The list is real. The coal is earned.
Santa’s Naughty List is a global political accountability platform powered by AI and run by elves from the North Pole. We track real-world news about people in power who abuse it — whether through corruption, fascism, cruelty, class warfare, or cowardice — and publish permanent public records of their bad behavior.
There are no ads. No corporate backers. No “both sides” spin. Just the truth, verified and wrapped in red.
Only politicians.
We track public officials around the world — senators, governors, prime ministers, presidents, judges, members of parliament, and anyone else who holds power and makes decisions that affect people’s lives.
Each entry on the list is tied to a specific, verifiable action.
The elves don’t care about gossip or drama. This is about policy, influence, and consequences.
We don’t care about party lines or political branding — if you hold power and abuse it, you’re fair game.
📰 Headline Monitoring
Our elves (with a little help from AI) scan real news headlines from trusted outlets around the world. We ignore tabloids and clickbait. Only credible sources get through.
📚 Classification
Each headline is analyzed and tagged with a naughty classification — things like fascism, corruption, or class warfare (full list below).
📝 Report Generation
If the headline passes our Heat Check — meaning it’s fact-based, high-impact, and clearly linked to a politician’s decision or endorsement — a report is created and added to the Naughty List.
🧠 Human Review
Every report entry is personally reviewed by Santa himself before being added to the Naughty List. No one gets coal without Santa's direct approval.
📡 Public Display
Reports are published publicly with a timestamp, source link, classification label, and summary. Anyone can view the list.
☕ Donations
To stay independent, Santa's Naughty List is funded entirely through community donations. No ads. No investors. Just support from people who've had enough. Help keep the elves caffeinated, the servers humming, and the North Pole frostbitten with truth:

Below are the categories we use to classify each report. If a politician’s behavior fits into any of these buckets — they’re getting coal.
AUTHORITARIANISM
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Authoritarian regimes often rise within democratic systems. Watch for the hollowing out of checks and balances, where leaders act with impunity and institutions bend to their will.
CORRUPTION & ETHICS
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Corruption erodes trust, hollows institutions, and cements oligarchic rule. When the powerful stop pretending to follow the rules, the system is already gone.
VOTER SUPPRESSION
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Democracy cannot function without free and fair elections. Suppressing participation—especially among marginalized groups—is a textbook tactic for entrenching minority rule.
CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Civil rights are the foundation of a just society. When politicians systematically violate these fundamental protections, they undermine the very principles democracy is built on.
EXTREMIST CONNECTIONS
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Extremist movements thrive when given legitimacy by elected officials. These connections signal a willingness to abandon democratic norms in favor of authoritarian control.
IDEOLOGICAL CONTROL
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Controlling what people are allowed to learn, read, or say is how authoritarian regimes shape reality. The war on truth always starts with culture.
CLASS WARFARE
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Fascism thrives when the masses are divided and desperate. Class warfare isn't just cruelty—it's strategy.
COVERUP
What it covers:
Why it matters:
Coverups are the connective tissue of systemic decay. They allow fascism to hide in plain sight—until it's too late.
Santa’s Naughty List exists because traditional media lets too much slide. Politicians count on distraction, fatigue, and short memories. We’re here to keep score — publicly, permanently, and without compromise.
The elves are watching.
The list is growing.
And it’s only getting colder.
No one is above the sleigh.
