THEY TRIED TO STEAL YOUR BALLOT

Let’s say your mail-in ballot just never shows up this fall. The county swears they sent it. But the real story is it’s sitting in a postal facility because you aren’t on the “official” list the White House gave the Post Office.

That’s exactly what Trump’s ridiculous executive order does. States give USPS a roster of the mail voters they’ve approved, and the Post Office simply won’t deliver to the rest of you.

The League of Women Voters sued over it, and last week Judge Indira Talwani refused to throw the case out. She said Trump’s order was unconstitutional, and warned that voters getting shut out this election is “plausibly likely and imminent.”

The regime assumed a pause from a federal appeals court gave them an opening. So the League went back into Talwani’s court. The Judge gave the White House a line from an eighth-grade quiz: “The President plays no role” in elections.

She rules on burying it for good on August 7. One thing is certain—I wouldn’t want to be the lawyer stuck defending it.

THEY CONFESSED TO PUNISHING BLUE STATES

The regime has sworn up and down that they canceled billions in energy grants to fight waste. Energy Secretary Chris Wright even told Congress in June, “No decisions were made on politics.” Guess what? That was a lie.

In court filings this month, the regime admitted it killed $7.6 billion in grants “based solely on the political identity” of a state. Meaning if it voted for Kamala Harris they were cut. Money to fix the power grid, plug methane leaks, and build clean fuel—all gutted to punish Americans just for how they voted.

Trump’s budget director and architect of Project 2025 Russell Vought was the one who ordered it, bragging online that “the Left’s climate agenda is being canceled.” Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Marcy Kaptur called it what it is: “outright un-American.”

Federal judge Amit Mehta already ruled the scheme is illegal, a clear violation of equal protection under the Constitution. They punished us for how we voted. A judge already started ordering the money back, and the states they took it from are coming for the rest.

THE REGIME APPEALED. THEY LOST AGAIN.

A president doesn’t get to dream up a tax, only Congress can do that. Last I checked, we fought a whole war to make that point stick. But that didn’t stop Trump from signing a proclamation last fall that hit employers with $100,000 fees every time they went to hire a foreign-born doctor, nurse, or lab tech.

Twenty Democratic attorneys general sued over it. Judge Leo Sorokin threw the fee out in June. The regime appealed, just like they do with everything. On Friday, the First Circuit slammed the door in their face, reminding them that the power to tax was never theirs to begin with.

And here’s who they were really fighting. In Hettinger, North Dakota—a town of a thousand people—lab manager Bekki Holzkamm has been trying to fill one job since last summer. More than thirty people applied. Not one was a US citizen. That hundred-thousand-dollar fee is what her hospital pays two technicians in a year.

They said this protects American workers. Instead it kept a small-town hospital from filling one job, and two courts threw it out.

THE BILLIONAIRES ARE BUYING THE NEWS

On Friday night Trump showed up at the redo for the Correspondents’ Dinner and completely bombed. It was an hour of stale insults to a mostly stone-silent room. But what was even worse was what he did between the “jokes.”

He praised Larry and David Ellison, the billionaires who took over Paramount and now want CNN’s parent company too. He thanked David Ellison for the “changes” at CBS News, toasting the men buying newsrooms and bending them his way.

In that audience sat The Wall Street Journal journalists he’s suing for $10 billion over their Epstein reporting. They won the night’s top award for courage. One of them had her home address exposed by a Trump lawsuit, and her family had to move. She kept investigating anyway.

The owners cut deals with power, while reporters doing the real work pay the price. Guess which side we stand on.

That’s exactly why independent media has never been more important in this country. We don’t have any corporate overlords that can cancel our story or soften how we cover it. No one can buy us off.

On top of the reporting and our investigations, we power the resistance. Our pressure campaigns on Congress over dozens of issues have hit their desks nearly 800,000 times, along with flooding their offices with countless calls. All while running an unmatched social media operation that gets the truth to millions who would never get it otherwise.

A TOWN TRUMP WON JUST PICKED A DEMOCRAT

Abbeville, South Carolina had a mayor named Trey Edwards until he was censured over ethics violations last year and quit in April. That left two city council members eyeing the job, and this month the town got to choose between them.

It wasn’t close. Faye Thomas, backed by the Democratic Party, took 68.7% against John Sutherland—412 votes to 187. What scares Republicans is that Trump carried Abbeville in 2024.

This race alone doesn’t decide anything, but it’s where you see it first, in the places Republicans stopped worrying about.

They counted on Abbeville. Four hundred twelve people said no.

REPUBLICANS ARE LOSING A SEAT OVER PAPERWORK

Paula Stark is a Republican state representative in central Florida, and to run again this year all she had to do was turn in her paperwork by noon on June 12. Her campaign treasurer walked into the Division of Elections twenty-five minutes before that deadline—but the one form that actually mattered never got handed over.

Five state workers confirmed it under oath. Stark sued to get back on the ballot anyway. Judge Joshua Hawkes—appointed by Ron DeSantis—denied her motion to reconsider, and last week ordered the case closed for good.

District 47 now has no Republican on the ballot at all. Two Democrats will face off on August 18, and because no Republican qualified, that primary decides the seat.

Stark won this seat by 878 votes in 2022 and 1,246 votes in 2024. Republicans just gave it away over a piece of paper.

THE REGIME BLINKED IN A COURTROOM

Armed FBI agents came to Julian Barnes’s door while he and his wife sat at home with their oldest son. Barnes is a New York Times reporter, and the DOJ wanted him under oath in front of a grand jury. His wife, Katherine Marsh, told NPR it felt un-American.

The government was after the names of the people who told the Times that Trump’s Qatari jet wasn’t as safe as the old Air Force One. Give up those names and every government employee watching learns what happens when you tell a reporter the truth.

On Thursday, the DOJ had to explain itself to Judge Arun Subramanian. Subpoenas against reporters are supposed to be the last step in an investigation, the judge told them, not the first. The government had taken the law protecting the press and turned it on its head.

Before the hearing ended, the department withdrew every one of the subpoenas. Three reporters kept their sources, and the regime got nothing for it.

TRUMP’S OWN JUDGE SHUT THE DOOR

Since last summer, the regime has been demanding voter files from thirty states plus DC, including names, birthdays, home addresses, and Social Security numbers.

Kentucky handed over a version with the sensitive information stripped out. When officials there refused to surrender the rest, the Justice Department sued Michael Adams—the Republican Secretary of State—to get it. David Yates, the Jefferson County clerk, jumped into the case beside him to defend the voters he serves. “Kentucky voters have nothing to hide,” Yates said. “What we would not do is surrender confidential personal information that the law protects.”

On Thursday, Judge Claria Horn Boom threw the case out, and Trump himself put her on that bench. She dismissed it with prejudice, meaning the DOJ can’t bring it back.

This is the regime’s seventeenth straight loss in the fight to get your voter data. Thirty states, Kentucky included, have refused to hand it over.

That kind of courage doesn’t travel on its own. Somebody has to go find it, tell the truth about it, and put it in front of enough people that it can’t be buried.

Almost nobody does that work anymore. A mayor’s race in a small town doesn’t sell ads. A ruling in a Kentucky courtroom won’t move anyone’s ratings. The stories that decide who runs this country are worth nothing to the people who own the news, so they go missing. Every one that does is a free win for the regime.

1. TRUMP PICKED THE JUDGE. THEN HE LOST.

Trump put Eric Tostrud on the federal bench. On Monday, Tostrud threw out the regime’s entire lawsuit. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison keeps every limit his state put on police helping ICE. Those officers work for the state, not the White House.

2. TRUMP’S LAWYERS QUIT. NAVARRO STILL LOST.

Peter Navarro defied a Jan 6 subpoena and served four months in federal prison for it. The DOJ refused to defend the conviction, so Navarro’s lawyer argued the appeal with nobody on the other side. Three judges upheld it Tuesday. The privilege he hid behind was never his to take.

3. FIFTEEN WALKED OUT. ICE COULDN’T STOP IT.

Seventeen people were supposed to walk out of immigration detention in Nevada, but ICE kept the doors shut for months. Judge Richard Boulware wrote that the government was rebelling against the basic rule that court orders get obeyed. He put sanctions on the table. Fifteen of those detainees are now free.

4. A TRUMP ALLY’S CNN GRAB JUST STALLED

A Trump-friendly family was about to buy CBS News and CNN. A dozen Democratic attorneys general sued to stop it. On Friday, the deal got frozen until 2027.

5. THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS JUST GOT SAVED

For years, Kansas gave mail ballots a few extra days to arrive, so votes stuck in the mail still counted. Last year, Republicans took those days away. This month, weeks before the August primary, Judge Carl Folsom put them back. Without his ruling, thousands of ballots would be thrown out.

6. THEY PULLED THEIR MONEY. THE BANK CAVED.

For months, towns and everyday people moved their money out of Citizens Bank. They were angry it loaned money to the two biggest ICE detention contractors. It added up to hundreds of millions of dollars. Then Citizens gave in and said it would cut ties with both companies. The bank won’t call that a loss, but we all know it was.

7. SEVEN THOUSAND COMMENTS, ONE DEAD PERMIT

Ohio’s environmental agency wanted to let data centers dump wastewater into rivers, streams, and Lake Erie. That water can carry PFAS, forever chemicals that never break down. Seven thousand people wrote in against it, and the agency backed off. Those strangers just did the job lobbyists get paid big bucks for.

8. HE QUIT HIS SEAT TO RUN FOR MAYOR

Arizona Republican Jeff Weninger already represented Chandler at the state capitol, so winning its mayor’s race should’ve been easy. Instead he lost by seventeen points to Matt Orlando, a retired Air Force colonel backed by local Democrats. Weninger had given up his statehouse seat to run. Now he has neither.

The whole Trump propaganda machine runs on one simple idea—that power belongs to whoever has the most money, the biggest platform, and the loudest microphone.

Nobody in this edition could be bought or bullied. Trump has every kind of power there is, and this week it still wasn’t enough. It won’t be enough next Saturday either, when it’s somebody else’s turn in some town most of us hadn’t heard of before.

My full read on a Senate race some had written off two weeks ago is waiting for paid subscribers this morning. They’re the reason I can keep it free for everyone else—become one today:

HE MADE IT UP. SHOCKER.

Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade adviser, told the Jan 6 Committee he couldn’t testify because executive privilege covered him. Trump had shielded him, he claimed, and that was that. The House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress, and the DOJ indicted him soon after. He was convicted in 2023, served four months in prison, and then filed an appeal.

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court finished picking his story apart. Navarro “asserted executive privilege unilaterally,” Judge Patricia Millett wrote in a unanimous 37-page ruling. He never consulted Trump about any of it. He decided on his own that he was protected, and he was wrong.

The DOJ had originally prosecuted Navarro and won. Then, under Trump, it stopped defending that conviction. The judges upheld it anyway.

Judge Amit Mehta had already handed Navarro the truth at sentencing: “You are not a victim.” Two courts, same answer.

FIRED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY

The federal judges of western Washington State picked former prosecutor and County Judge Roger Rogoff unanimously. That’s how the position is filled when the Senate leaves it empty. He took the oath on July 15th, and less than an hour later an email from the White House told him he was fired.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche had promised as much before the judges even chose. Whoever they picked, he posted, would “suffer the same fate as others have.”

He wasn’t bluffing. In New Jersey they fired Desiree Grace, a nine-year career prosecutor, the day the judges picked her. In Albany, Blanche fired Donald Kinsella by social media post. Both of them walked away quietly, and the regime took that as permission to keep going.

Rogoff just ended that. He sued, naming Trump and Blanche both, and now they have to make their case in front of a federal judge.

FIFTEEN PEOPLE WALKED OUT OF ICE DETENTION

Two people in Nevada sued because ICE was holding them without bond hearings. In March, federal judge Richard Boulware struck down the policy behind it, and that ruling opened the door for hundreds more to finally see a judge. The government never appealed. It just ignored the order.

This month, Boulware ran out of patience. “Three months have passed,” he wrote, “yet ICE has not conducted an initial custody determination.” The government, he said, was rebelling against the basic principle that a court order must be obeyed. He ordered 17 people released, and ICE cannot re-arrest a single one without first proving its case to an immigration judge.

Fifteen people are free tonight—and two others are on the way out. Remember that the next time somebody tells you nothing works.

HE GAVE UP HIS SEAT AND LOST ANYWAY

Republican Jeff Weninger held a seat in the Arizona House and gave it up to run for mayor of Chandler, the fourth-largest city in the state. The outgoing GOP mayor backed him.

He lost by sixteen points to Matt Orlando—a retired Air Force colonel, six terms on the city council, in Chandler since 1983. Orlando is a registered independent who votes with Democrats.

Weninger didn’t even wait for Maricopa County to finish counting. He conceded Wednesday on Facebook: “It’s clear that we came up short.” And the loss didn’t stop with him. The Republicans’ council candidate ran for one of three open seats and lost.

This is Maricopa County in July. November is coming.

WE DON’T JUST REPORT. WE ORGANIZE.

The wins are real and sometimes they’re quiet. They happen in district courtrooms and city council elections, and in every moment when one person decides the outcome isn’t settled yet.

Not one of them happened on its own. Somebody filed. Somebody ruled. Somebody drove to a polling place in Arizona in July heat for a race the country wasn’t watching.

That’s the half you don’t see. We build the campaigns and put the tools in your hands to act. More than 796,000 times since November 2024, our readers used them to pressure Congress with calls and letters. Go back a full decade and that number gets into the millions. We also run one of the largest anti-Trump operations on social media anywhere, reaching millions of people who’d never see a word of these wins otherwise.

That takes staff, lawyers, and hours of work behind the scenes. It runs on readers, and that’s exactly why nobody can call here and get a story killed. Paid subscribers are the only reason that stays true, and I’m looking for 14 of you to join us today:
