Great News That’s Terrible For Trump: No Kings Protests Set To Be Largest In US History, Hegseth Gets Rejected, Mike Johnson Called Out For Burying Epstein Files

We destroy maga propaganda here

As Trump loses it over Nobel Prizes he’ll never win, I’m glad to have stories that prove momentum is on our side. With No Kings shaping up to be the largest mass protest ever against Trump, it’s clear we’re not alone—and we’re not backing down.

Let’s jump in.

REPORTERS WALK OUT

Just before the 4pm deadline to sign Pete Hegseth’s loyalty pledge, dozens of reporters turned in their badges and walked out of the Pentagon. Almost all major news outlets participated in the walkout, including AP, The New York Times, Reuters, WaPo, CNN, CBS, ABC, and even Fox.

Retired Army general Jack Keane, an analyst on Fox “News,” criticized Hegseth over it, stating: “What they’re really doing, they want to spoon-feed information to the journalist, and that would be their story. That’s not journalism.”

MARINE COLONEL RESIGNS

Marine Colonel Doug Krugman, who served for 24 years, penned an op-ed titled: “I resigned from the military because of Trump.” In it, Krugman wrote: “Instead of trying to work within the Constitution, or to amend it, [Trump] is testing how far he can ignore it.” He sure is. And it’s on everyone to push back.

Krugman also had a message for service members wary of Trump’s unhinged orders: “They should be confident in questioning possibly immoral or illegal orders.”

COURTS PROTECT ILLINOIS

Yesterday, a judge ordered that federal agents in the Chicago area must wear body cameras. This follows an earlier order from the same judge, which requires all agents to wear badges.

Meanwhile, an appeals court upheld the block on Trump’s National Guard deployment in Illinois. The three-judge panel stated: “The facts do not justify [Trump’s] actions.”

NO AUSTRALIA FOR CANDACE OWENS

Australia’s High Court denied entry to right-wing podcaster Candace Owens, due to concerns that she may “incite discord” among communities. Owens was planning to do a speaking tour across Australia, but apparently failed a “character test.”

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said: “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”

KHANNA SLAMS GOP OVER EPSTEIN FILES

In a recent interview, Dem Rep. Ro Khanna slammed Republicans for refusing to release the Epstein files. “This is not political,” Khanna said. “We’ve met the survivors. These are women who … stood in front of the Capitol and said, ‘We want these files released.’”

Khanna predicted that once a vote is finally held, “60 to 70 Republicans are going to vote for releasing the files.” Let’s keep the pressure on.

RASKIN CALLS OUT CORRUPTION

Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin revealed the real reason behind Trump’s corrupt shutdown scheme, saying that Trump “wants all the parts of government closed that he can’t personally profit from. So he doesn’t care about health care for your family. He wants to build a White House ballroom and promote Bitcoin.”

Raskin is right, which is why I’ve taken on Trump and all of his accomplices for nearly a decade.

I have two questions for you today.

Do you think 60-70 Republicans will actually vote to release the Epstein files?

What do you think about almost all major news orgs walking out of the Pentagon?
