8 Resistance Wins That Are Horrible For Trump
Onward!
Good morning. Pour your coffee and sit with me a minute, because I’ve got good news: we’re winning. And I can prove it to you eight times.
Let me tell you what we do here, plain and simple. Every single day, I go find the wins and the Trump regime’s dirty dealings that big TV networks won’t show you, and I give them to you straight. No fluff. No filler. No garbage spin.
Then we do the part that really matters. We organize the resistance—folks just like you—turning our reporting into real pressure, making so much noise that Congress has to listen. We push back on Trump’s lies as we fight to win back the House and Senate in November. I report the truth, and then we put it to work.
Here’s how you can help me. First, tap that little ❤️ heart button and re-stack this post so these eight wins land right in front of someone who’s starting to believe that nothing ever gets better.
And if you haven’t yet, become a paid subscriber. We have no ads, no big company, no billionaire funding our work—so it takes good people like you to keep this fight going.
I’m hoping 50 of you will join us this weekend. Last week we crushed our goal! Let’s see if we can do it again. It’d be great to have you with us:
1. TRUMP LOST HIS OWN HOUSE TWICE IN ONE WEEK
The Republican-controlled House broke with Trump twice this week, voting to rein in his war on Iran, then passing Ukraine aid he opposed over the objections of his own Speaker. He raged online about “4 bad Republicans,” but it’s clear his grip of fear on the GOP is loosening.
2. A COUNTRY ROSE UP AGAINST JARED AND IVANKA
Thousands of protesters flooded Tirana under banners reading “Ivanka, Go Home,” creating intense pressure which led Albania’s prosecutors to freeze the accounts behind a $4 billion private resort backed by Jared Kushner. Trump’s son-in-law, the supposed Middle East peace broker, is now tangled in a foreign corruption probe—forced into the open by people an ocean away.
3. SENATE KILLS VOTER-SUPPRESSION BILL—AGAIN
Trump demanded the Senate pass his SAVE Act to require proof of citizenship and gut mail-in voting. Four Republicans crossed him to kill it—the second time this year. The bill he calls essential can’t even survive his own Senate.
4. FEDERAL JUDGE THREW OUT STATE-LEVEL SAVE ACT
A federal judge struck down New Hampshire’s proof-of-citizenship voting law, calling it unconstitutional, and ordered the state to stop enforcing it for the fall primary and the midterms. The barrier Republicans built to keep people from the ballot is gone.
5. CALIFORNIA MAKES IT A FELONY
After a Republican sheriff seized 650,000 ballots, California closed the loophole—now it’s clear that no law enforcement, including federal agents, can touch ballots or voting systems without a court order. Gov. Newsom signed it days before the primary, answering Trump’s threats to interfere in the midterms.
6. JUDGE REOPENED THE PATH TO CITIZENSHIP
On Friday, a federal judge threw out a Trump policy that had frozen green cards and citizenship for immigrants from dozens of countries. Now the government has to start saying yes and resume the citizenship ceremonies it had stalled.
7. FOUR STATES REFUSED TO HAND ICE SECRET PLATES
Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington refused to provide ICE the undercover license plates it uses to grab people off the streets. The regime was so rattled it sued all four. When your plan only works in the shadows, the states aren’t the problem.
8. HAWAII TAXES MILLIONAIRES TO PROTECT FAMILIES
Hawaii enacted a new 13% tax bracket on people earning over a million dollars a year, built to shield food aid, child care, and healthcare from Trump’s federal cuts. The regime hands billionaires one tax break after another. Hawaii is making the rich fill the gap so working families don’t have to.
This is what winning looks like. Not handed to us—taken, win by win, by people who refused to quit.
