375,000+ People Rose Up To Help A Zoo Fight A Data Center, Trump’s Candidate Lost, and His Former Hometown Booed Him To His Face

He slept through the Finals, got dumped by voters, and his son’s company cashed an Indian billionaire’s check

I know how heavy things feel under Trump. There are mornings the news seems written to break your heart on purpose—I’ve had them too.

But I’ve been at this a long time, and I’m telling you: something real has shifted. The regime is scared—of you, of me, of all of us who won’t look away. Their fear is the best news in America, and the press that takes corporate money will never point it out.

HE SHUT DOWN A CITY TO TAKE A NAP

The national anthem was playing at Madison Square Garden on Monday night when Trump’s face flashed onto the Jumbotron. Most of the crowd booed him loud enough to drown out the song.

He had just become the first sitting president ever to attend an NBA Finals game—and the city he grew up in couldn’t stand the sight of him. Protesters lined the streets outside. His security footprint was so massive it forced the cancellation of a watch party thousands of fans had planned outside the arena.

So he packed the Knicks owner’s luxury suite with his Cabinet, made ticketed fans wait in two-hour security lines, and locked down half of Midtown to be there. Then Trump folded his arms, closed his eyes, and dozed off on camera.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reposted a clip of it, writing: “WAKE TF UP.”

His former hometown can’t stand him. He can’t stay awake for the NBA Finals. And of course the Knicks lost, because everything Trump touches dies.

TRUMP CALLED IT RIGGED. HIS GUY LOST.

Spencer Pratt—former star of The Hills, a registered Republican—ran for Los Angeles mayor, built a massive online following, and appeared to be leading the race for days after the June 2 primary. Trump claimed him as his own.

When the mail-in votes came in and the count turned against Pratt, Trump declared on Truth Social: “No way this could have happened. Rigged Election!”—while they were still counting ballots in one of the bluest cities in America.

As the last votes came in, City Councilmember Nithya Raman took the lead. On Monday, AP projected Raman would advance to the November runoff against Mayor Karen Bass. That pushed Pratt into third—he’s out.

Trump lied to the country, calling the count crooked before it was even finished. That’s not confidence. It’s the regime rehearsing for November—when Republicans get swept away in a giant blue wave.

TRUMP TARIFFED THEM. THEY PAID HIS SON.

Donald Trump Jr. (L) and Anant Ambani (R)

Last summer, the regime went to war with one of the richest families on earth. Trump hit India with 50% tariffs built to punish the Ambanis—the billionaire family whose company had made a fortune off cheap Russian oil.

Then Donald Trump Jr. flew to India in November 2025, toured the family’s private zoo, and danced with their heir that night. Four months later, according to a ProPublica investigation, the Ambanis poured at least $100 million into an obscure Texas oil startup that Trump Jr. had secretly acquired a stake in.

Soon after, the Ambanis received what they’d been lobbying for: tariffs slashed on Indian imports, a license to buy Venezuelan oil, and a sanctions waiver to buy Russian oil. Trump personally celebrated the deal on Truth Social.

Forbes estimated that Trump Jr.’s net worth rocketed from roughly $50 million to $300 million since his dad returned to office—based only on publicly disclosed investments.

When Democrats take back Congress, every one of these deals gets investigated.

THE REGIME SAID BUILD. PEOPLE SAID NO.

In Nashville, a company wants to build a giant data center—a windowless warehouse full of computers—50 yards from the Nashville Zoo’s animal habitats. Zoo president and CEO Rick Schwartz said the constant noise and light could devastate its clouded leopard breeding program, one of the rarest conservation efforts in the country. So the zoo asked for help.

More than 375,000 people signed a petition to stop it. Country star Brad Paisley called it “an absolute nightmare scenario” and urged fans to join the fight.

As we’ve reported, Nashville isn’t alone. Last July, Trump signed an executive order telling federal agencies to rush data center construction through—build fast, build everywhere, and don’t ask what it costs the people next door. He even told them to skip the environmental reviews that stand in the way.

But town after town is refusing. McMinnville, Tennessee, voted unanimously to block any new data center for 18 months. Nearby Cedar Hill banned them for two years. In Georgia, more than 30 counties have moved to block or restrict them.

They have the money and the seats of power. We have something they can’t buy: each other—and there are more of us than there are of them.
