Denver Moved To Arrest Trump’s Federal Agents. Courts Ordered $175 Billion Returned. 24 States Sued The Regime. Big Tech Blocked. The Resistance Won
The regime had a very bad week. We made sure of it.
The resistance is showing up in mayor’s offices and courtrooms—from big cities to small towns—and it’s winning. Judges ordered $175 billion in illegal tariffs refunded. Twenty-four states sued over Trump’s new tariffs. Denver passed laws the regime can’t stop. And rural Republicans found common ground with urban Democrats.
If four resistance wins doesn’t earn a ❤️ like and a re-stack, we don’t know what does. Hit both right now to make sure everyone sees this.
The midterms are being won and lost right now. Our Midterm Accountability Project—our largest anti-regime campaign ever—is how we fight: flooding Congress with 650,000 calls and letters, a daily news brief dismantling MAGA propaganda, and a social media operation generating billions of monthly impressions the regime can’t ignore.
None of it exists without paid subscribers. We need you in this fight. Join our movement here:
DENVER FIGHTS BACK
When federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the Trump regime sent one message to other cities: fall in line. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston got the message, and responded with his own: try us.
On February 26, Johnston signed an executive order authorizing Denver police to intervene and physically detain any of Trump’s agents for using excessive force that could cause death or serious bodily injury. “If we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident, we will step in to detain that officer and remove them from that situation,” Johnston said.
The order also bans the use of city property for federal immigration enforcement without a warrant or court order.
Denver City Attorney Miko Brown later added that enforcement options include criminal charges. And on March 2, the City Council unanimously voted to ban federal agents and all law enforcement from wearing masks during detentions, arrests, or interrogations in city limits—while requiring visible badges or identification.
While the regime attacks our cities, Denver is showing them how to fight back.
COURTS ORDER REFUNDS
Denver isn’t the only one drawing a line with the regime. Federal judges are as well—with interest.
After the Supreme Court ruled Trump can’t impose tariffs, the regime responded by stalling refunds, claiming the process was too complicated to move swiftly.
A federal appeals court denied the regime’s request to delay the process by 90 days. That cleared the way for Judge Richard Eaton of the US Court of International Trade to issue a decisive order. “We live in the age of computers,” he said, directing the regime to begin refunding every dollar of the illegal tariffs. Not just the companies suing to get the money back—virtually every importer who paid them.
Trade experts put the total amount of refunds at $175 billion, and the Cato Institute says every month the regime delays repayment will cost taxpayers another $700 million.
Yesterday the regime admitted it collected up to $166 billion in illegal tariffs from 330,000 companies, and asked for an extension because they’re not organized yet to give refunds. Because, of course they’re not.
THE SEQUEL ISN’T ANY BETTER
Only four days after the Supreme Court ruled against their illegal tariffs, the regime had a plan—try it again under a different law. Before the ink was even dry, Trump invoked part of the Trade Act of 1974.
If you haven’t heard of it, that makes sense because it had never been used before. Trump invoked it to slap 10% tariffs on imports from almost every country in the world, then announced he would raise it to the 15% legal maximum.
In response, twenty-four states sued the regime on Thursday, arguing that Trump is using this random Trade Act as a back-door replacement for the tariffs the Supreme Court just struck down.
“The focus right now should be on paying people back,” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said, “not doubling down on illegal tariffs.” The regime lost the first tariff fight. Twenty-four states are making sure the sequel ends the same way.
BIG TECH IS TERRIFIED OF THIS
While the courts told the regime no this week, in Michigan they heard the same response from an entirely different direction.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers in the state introduced the Data Center Regulation Act, which is a one-year moratorium on all new data center construction. “Many rural communities just feel like they’re being invaded,” GOP state Rep. Jennifer Wortz said, who introduced the bill with Dem state Rep. Dylan Wegela. At least 25 communities in Michigan have already enacted their own pause on building data centers, with dozens more considering similar measures.
One proposed $7 billion data center from OpenAI and Oracle in Saline Township would consume as much electricity as a million homes. So residents packed every hearing. In response, lawmakers introduced a moratorium.
This is all proof that the regime is losing ground to people who refuse to stop showing up—just like we’ve shown up for the last decade. Every single day, without fail. Our pressure campaign on the House and Senate has now contacted Congress more than 650,000 times.
We have no billionaires spiking stories or advertisers telling us to tone it down—we couldn’t do our work without this independence. But that means I have to ask you for help.

I have two questions for you today.
What do you think about Democrats and Republicans coming together to fight back in their communities?
What’s happening in your city or state that deserves national attention?
Minneapolis now Denver. The people are demanding accountability!
Wonderful way to start a Saturday, I might say. 😃
