Kristi Noem's Big Lie Debunked As Spanberger Slams Trump and Buttigieg Blasts His 'Mob Boss Politics'

While maga melts down, the resistance rises

After all of Trump’s chaos and madness, I’m really glad to have some great news for you today. Thanks for being here, and for having my back. Let’s jump in.

JUDGES MADE TRUMP DO IT

Just a few days after 25 states and DC sued the Trump regime for pausing SNAP benefits during the shutdown, two different federal judges ordered the US Department of Agriculture to fund the program. This is good news, but it should’ve never been an issue. This lawless regime is beyond disgraceful.

FACT CHECK: KRISTI NOEM’S NEW BIG LIE

So many lies are spewing out of the Trump regime on a daily basis, but the recent one from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem really stood out.

When asked about their rampant immigration abuses, Noem lied, saying: “No American citizens have been arrested or detained.” But a ProPublica report from mid-October found “more than 170 Americans have been held by immigration officials this year.”

Noem’s despicable lie spread like a wildfire through right-wing networks, so I wanted to set the record straight.

ROLLINS MAKES A MESS

Mike Johnson was in damage control mode yesterday after holding a press conference with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.

Rollins admitted that Trump’s ongoing shutdown has failed the American people, saying: “My message to America is ... your government is failing you right now … It doesn’t matter who you voted for or even if you voted. If you are in a position where you can’t feed your family ... we have failed you.”

Johnson immediately tried to interject and clean it up, stating: “When she says, ‘We,’ ... she means we, the Democrats.” But the damage was already done.

When we look back at this shutdown, Johnson will be known as just another one of Trump’s lapdogs—giving everyone in the House what seems like a constant paid vacation. All while denying a vote to release the Epstein files, and refusing to swear in a new Democratic Member of Congress out of spite.

SPANBERGER’S BUS TOUR

Momentum continues to build for Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who just finished day seven of her “Virginia Votes Bus Tour.”

In a recent interview, Spanberger was asked if she’d work with Trump on job creation, and gave this scathing response: “You don’t work with the arsonist who burns down the house to rebuild it.” Spot on.

PETE FOR MIKIE IN NEW JERSEY

Meanwhile, Democratic gubernatorial nominee in New Jersey, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, had a campaign rally with Pete Buttigieg this week. Buttigieg slammed Trump for using “straight-up mob boss politics” to block development of a major rail tunnel project.

Buttigieg said: “It is a test of any leader to see if they will put the people of this state first … there is only one candidate in the race for governor who is standing up for the commuters who count on these tunnels every day.”

The elections next week will be critical to the future of our country. If you have an election, please vote.
