More Great News That’s Terrible for Trump

Onward.

It’s only Tuesday, and I’m sure we’ve already had enough of Trump and Musk’s nonsense for the week—so I’m glad to have more good news to deliver for everyone today. I hope it gives you some relief, and shows you there are wonderful people all across the world fighting this tyranny alongside us.

Dem Sen. Mark Kelly, a former astronaut who served in the Navy for 25 years, visited Ukraine to show his support over the weekend. “The safety of Ukraine is tied to the safety of the United States,” Kelly said, when back in the US. “That’s why I stand with Ukraine.”

Sen. Kelly later slammed Elon Musk, who called him a “traitor” on Twitter/X: “Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.”

And this was just one small part of Musk’s miserable Monday.

Protests against Tesla continued to build across the world—from showrooms to dealerships, and even at charging stations. Yesterday, the company’s stock suffered it’s biggest plunge in 5 years—down 41% since the beginning of this year. And we learned that five of the tech billionaires who were seen groveling at Trump’s January 20th coronation, including Musk, have lost at least $210 billion since then.

In a big win for transparency, a judge ordered an urgent release of internal emails and documents from DOGE and the Office of Management and Budget. “The authority exercised ... and the dramatic cuts it has apparently made with no congressional input appear to be unprecedented,” wrote the judge.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon went on TV yesterday to talk about Musk and Trump’s failing foreign policy: “Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right.”

Bacon also blasted Trump for “playing into the hands of Putin,” calling it “devastating” for our national security. “Countries are questioning,” Bacon stated, “are we still the leader of the free world? ... This administration is walking away from that legacy.”

Dem Senators Tammy Duckworth and Andy Kim are introducing a bill that would force the Trump Administration to rehire all of the Veterans they have fired. The Protect Veteran Jobs Act would also make it mandatory for Trump to give a quarterly report to justify any firings of Veterans.

Duckworth, a Veteran who was awarded the Purple Heart and lost her legs when her helicopter was hit by an RPG, said this: “The message of our bill is simple: Give our heroes their jobs back. If Republicans really care about our Veterans, they should stop enabling Trump and Musk's chaos and support our legislation.”

Rochester City Councilmember Mary Lupien got into a heated exchange with JD Vance—interrupting his racist rant at an event yesterday.

“Politicians like JD Vance want to distract us by blaming the most vulnerable,” Lupien said afterward. “The truth is, working people—no matter where they were born—are all facing the same fight: a rigged housing system that puts corporate profits over our basic needs. We need leaders who will invest in real solutions, not scapegoat our neighbors.”

Recently, I covered how National Labor Relations Board Member Gwynne Wilcox was reinstated to her position by a judge—after Trump illegally fired her. Just yesterday, as Wilcox returned to the office, she was met with a cheering crowd of elected officials and staffers. It’s great to know we’ll have this champion for working people in this role until August 2028, when her term is up.

Lastly, political columnist Ruth Marcus resigned from The Washington Post after 40 years at the paper, writing that Jeff Bezos’s decisions threaten “to break the trust of readers that columnists are writing what they believe, not what the owner has deemed acceptable.” This is another prime example of how corporate media has turned into a complete cesspool who can’t be trusted.

At The Dworkin Report, we don’t have any billionaires who can refuse to publish what we write. We’re completely independent, pro-democracy journalists, who will never bend the knee to Trump—or his oligarchs.

On top of reporting the news, we have The Watchdog Coalition, which helps us lead the charge against Trump—something we’ve done for 9 years now. Our contact Congress campaign has already sent more than 208,000 letters, and made countless calls to the House and Senate.

Our social media following is one of the largest in all of politics, and we’re using it to fight back against the Musk-Trump regime, every single day. Our recent “Don’t Touch Our Medicaid” campaign generated more than a billion impressions, and dominated the trends online. And this week, we’re launching our “Protect Social Security,” and “Defend Veterans” campaigns.

It’s clear momentum is building, but we need all hands on deck.
