Judge Kills State-Level SAVE Act, Communities Take Down Data Centers, and Gov. Wes Moore Takes A Sledgehammer To The Regime’s Rising Costs

The resistance delivers

All over this country, people who were told they had no shot against Trump are winning anyway. And the regime is working overtime to keep those stories in the dark. Don’t let them—hit the ❤️ like button and re-stack this edition right now.

WES MOORE FIGHTS FOR AFFORDABILITY

Everything the regime touches gets broken or more expensive—or somehow both. Tariffs at the checkout, climbing prices at the pump, massive cuts to basics like rental assistance and healthcare. All while Republicans shrug and keep blaming former President Joe Biden. It’s beyond pathetic.

Maryland is fighting back. Last week, Gov. Wes Moore signed a law restoring child care help for thousands of families stuck on a year-long waitlist—and shifting payments to a sliding scale, so what you pay is tied to what you earn. For some working parents, that’s hundreds of dollars a month back in the budget.

He also signed the Transit and Housing Opportunity Act, freeing up state land to build more than 7,000 new homes in a state desperately short of them.

Weeks earlier, Moore signed the Utility RELIEF Act, saving families at least $150 a year by forcing utilities and data centers to cover their own costs instead of dumping them on the people. Marylanders, he said, shouldn’t “foot the bill for data centers and utility executives’ bonuses.”

The regime makes everyone poorer except themselves and calls it a “Golden Age.” Maryland just proved Democrats deliver what Trump only promises—a life people can afford. And that’s an argument that flips Congress in November.

70,000 WORKERS MAKE HISTORY

Trump does whatever the billionaires want. He treats unions like the enemy, and has even packed the agencies that are supposed to protect workers with corporate insiders. Uber and Lyft were counting on exactly that when they labeled their drivers “independent contractors”—a fancy word that legally blocked them from forming a union.

Massachusetts blew the doors off the scheme. In 2024, voters there gave drivers the right to organize, and last month it paid off. The App Drivers Union is now official, representing all 70,000 ride-share drivers in the state. It’s the first union for gig workers in American history—and the biggest group of private workers to win a union since Ford autoworkers did it back in 1941.

Last week, thousands rallied to celebrate on the State House steps, as Gov. Maura Healey called it “a historic day for the state, for the country.”

Massachusetts just gave these drivers a seat at the table—and the days of taking home as little as 20 cents on every dollar a rider pays are numbered.

COMMUNITIES BEAT BIG TECH

Your electric bill is climbing so a giant tech company can run AI. That’s the “deal” the regime cut for you. Trump signed an executive order to rush data centers—massive warehouses packed with computers—into towns across the country. They guzzle enormous amounts of electricity and water, and they push everyone’s utility bills up. You get the costs. Big Tech gets the profits.

People have been pushing back hard. Last week in Andover, New Jersey, residents packed a town meeting and demanded their leaders say no to a proposed AI data center. When the officials voted to ban data centers outright, the room erupted in a standing ovation. That’s what the resistance looks like—neighbors coming together, refusing to hand over their town.

Andover isn’t alone. In Florida, one county just froze all new data center projects for a year. And in Minnesota, a judge blocked Google from building a plant that would have eaten more electricity than the state’s biggest power plant can produce.

At least sixty-nine communities across the country have now hit pause—and the regime’s plan to quietly blanket America in data centers is running into a wall.

A JUDGE KILLS VOTER SUPPRESSION LAW

US District Judge Samantha Elliott

Trump’s actively trying to rig the midterms, and most Republicans are going along with it.

New Hampshire’s version of the SAVE Act—a law requiring proof of citizenship to vote—was the first big test of a national GOP push. Show a passport or birth certificate to register, or get turned away. It was built to quietly purge college kids, married women who’d changed their names, and anyone born out of state from the voter rolls.

On May 29, US District Judge Samantha Elliott killed the law in a 98-page decision. One fact sealed it: across 8.3 million ballots over 26 years, there were 47 cases of wrongful voting—and only eight by noncitizens. The judge’s verdict: that kind of fraud “is essentially nonexistent.”

The ACLU’s Henry Klementowicz didn’t mince words, saying it belongs “in the dustbin of history.” It sure does.

Trump’s nowhere near as strong as he wants us to believe. The regime knows it too—that’s why they’re so desperate to fix the November election in their favor. They never expected Democrats to fight back this hard, and it’s costing them—as it should.

My pledge to you is that we’ll spend every day between now and the midterms leading this fight against Trump, and doing what corporate media won’t: handing you the truth. No ad money softens our coverage. No billionaire owner edits us. We answer only to the members of this amazing community.

Wes Moore just signed real cost-of-living relief into law. Should this be the Democratic playbook everywhere?

Republicans are passing voter-suppression laws state by state. Has one shown up where you live? Let me know in the comments!
