Momentum Shift: Massive Remove Trump Rally Rocks DC, Judge Blocks ICE’s Illegal Data Sharing, and Hochul Stands Tall Against Stefanik's Extremism

Our resistance is growing stronger every day

I appreciate you taking the time to read today’s news brief. I hope it gives you some relief from the Trump regime’s madness—even if just for a moment.

Before we get started, a quick note: Since I still refuse to run ads or play ball with corporations, our work counts on backing from this community to fuel our journalism and activism. So if you haven’t yet, please support our fight against Trump by becoming a paid subscriber today:

Let’s dive in.

DROPKICK IMPEACHMENT

Thousands gathered at the Lincoln Memorial calling for Trump’s impeachment and removal on Saturday. The rock band Dropkick Murphys headlined the rally—marking the third consecutive day of major protests against the regime in our nation’s capital.

At the event, Dem Rep. Al Green stated: “I must vote to impeach a president who would put the lives of members of Congress at risk … who doesn’t respect the Constitution … who is devolving our democracy into a dictatorship. He must be impeached. He must be convicted. He must be removed.”

ICE BLOCKED

On Friday, a federal judge blocked the IRS from giving taxpayer information to ICE. Calling it “unlawful,” the judge said it violated “several provisions of Internal Revenue Code,” and that people could “suffer irreparable harm.”

Democracy Forward CEO Skye Perryman said: “This is an important win for millions of people in America whose information has been threatened by the [Trump regime] … Paying your taxes does not forfeit your right to privacy.”

BOLSONARO ARRESTED

Trump buddy and former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro was arrested yesterday. He was apparently trying to flee the country before facing 27 years in prison for a failed coup. Bolsonaro’s ankle monitor set off an alert, which led to him being swooped up. And guess where they thought he was headed—the US Embassy.

I can’t help but think that Trump should be under these types of conditions, too. Brazil is showing us how it’s done.

HOCHUL GOES AFTER STEFANIK

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul slammed GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik for repeatedly using racist attacks against Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Stefanik is one of the worst maga cult members in Congress, and she is now running for governor of New York.

Hochul stated: “She’s full of sh*t … she really is … this is such an extreme position … even more extreme than Donald Trump. I didn’t think that was possible ... She’s out-maga’d Donald Trump … It’s disgusting. It’s abhorrent. But that’s who she is.”

CROCKETT SLAMS TRUMP

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett hosted a town hall in Houston, Texas yesterday, with hundreds of fired-up folks. “I am here to tell you that even in the state of Texas, we have power,” Crockett said. “There is one reason that they decided they need to gerrymander our state, and it’s because of our power.”

Torching Trump’s corruption, Crockett said the American people “are getting robbed. Nixon is turning in his grave right now, like ‘why’d I give up my good job?’”

And citing the recent meeting where Trump fawned over Mamdani, Crockett said: “I want that to be a message to people … you cannot be weak with a bully.” In our decade of helping lead the resistance against Trump, that’s a mistake we’ve never made.

Our activism arm—The Watchdog Coalition—has generated billions of impressions online per month, while reaching lawmakers 530,000 times since last November. All while taking a sledgehammer to maga propaganda with our daily news briefs.

We will always stand up to the bully. We will never hold back. We will never give this regime an inch. Not one. But there’s no other way to do all of this without being 100% independent of corporate influence—and we need all hands on deck.

So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll join us in our fight against Trump by becoming a paid subscriber today:

Onward!
