Trump’s Week: Fake Firings, Nobel Fantasies, and New Questions About His Health

Every story here is bad news for Trump that’s great for us

After Trump ranted during his “Cabinet” meeting for hours yesterday, I’m glad to be back with more great news for you. Powerful stories of people fighting this tyranny alongside us. Thanks for being here, let’s jump in.

BIG DEM WIN

Last night, Democrat Catelin Drey won the special election for an Iowa state Senate seat, breaking the GOP’s supermajority. Trump carried the district by 11 points last year, while Drey won by more than 10 points—a huge swing in a reliably red district.

FED GOVERNOR PUSHES BACK

Trump claimed he “fired” Federal Reserve Governor Dr. Lisa Cook, even though he doesn’t have the authority to do so.

Dr. Cook is pushing back—and plans to sue the regime over it. Dr. Cook stated: “Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law.”

GOP REP. FORCED TO FACE THE TRUTH

In Bolivar, MO, GOP Rep. Mark Alford held a town hall—and it didn’t go well for him.

At one point, his constituent Fred Higginbotham said what most of us are thinking: “Get Trump out of office … The man is a dictator. He knows nothing about what he talks about.” Higginbotham went on to say: “You need to take your head out of Trump’s a** and start doing your representation of us.”

ANOTHER GOVERNOR STEPS UP

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson was one of many elected officials who received a disgusting threat letter from AG Pam Bondi in recent weeks. It warns of criminal charges for anyone who stands in the way of Trump’s abusive immigration tactics.

During a press conference, Ferguson responded: “Pam Bondi seems to believe that cavalierly citing criminal statutes and personally threatening me ... will result in compromising the values of my state. That is not going to happen.”

“Let me be very clear,” Ferguson said. “Washington State will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations.” Every elected official must push back like this.

DUCKWORTH SENDS A STRONG MESSAGE

At a press conference on Monday, Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth absolutely blasted Trump’s threat to send troops into Chicago.

Duckworth served in the military for decades—most of that in the National Guard. In 2004, she lost her legs after her helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

Calling it a “PR stunt” by a “tinpot dictator,” Duckworth said: “Trump’s actions are not about law and order—give me a break ... This is just another sad, desperate attempt by a small man, to distract the American people from ... the countless personal scandals he’s trying to sweep under the rug.” Like Epstein or his health issues.

“Maybe if Donald Trump hadn’t dodged the draft so many times,” Duckworth added, “he would’ve actually learned something about keeping our country strong. But that is obviously too much to expect from cadet bone spurs.”

THE WORST “CABINET” MEETING EVER

I won’t repeat any of the garbage or lies spewed at the long regime meeting yesterday. But I did want to point out one bizarre moment. When advisor Steve Witkoff said his only wish was for Trump to win the Nobel Prize, these cult members clapped and nodded. Witkoff’s wish was not for peace—but for Trump to win a medal. Gross.

This regime is a grotesque, maniacal, and corrupt dumpster fire—and it’s what we’re up against every single day.

On top of our daily news brief, we run one of the biggest social media organizing campaigns in the world—and our Contact Congress initiative has reached lawmakers half a million times.

We’re doing all this, and so much more, with no advertisers, and no billionaire babysitters telling us to play nice with Trump. Which means 100% of our funding comes from our subscribers here on Substack.

So if you haven’t yet, please join us as a paid subscriber today, and help us keep up the fight:

Onward!
