Trump Throws His ‘Accomplishments’ On The Floor, Rambles About Windmills, and Gets Slammed Hard By Gavin Newsom At Davos

Plus, Rep. Summer Lee moves to hold Pam Bondi in contempt

While Trump makes a mockery of the US in Davos, I’m glad to bring you today’s news brief. I hope it gives you some relief from the madness, even if only for a moment.

We don’t just offer clarity during Trump’s chaos, we are fighting to end it. That’s why we doubled down with our Midterm Accountability Project—to demolish maga propaganda, expand our massive pressure campaigns on Congress, and win back the House and Senate this fall.

POLICE CHIEFS SPEAK OUT

A group of police chiefs held a press conference this week to sound the alarm about local officers suffering civil rights violations at the hands of federal agents.

Mark Bruley, the Police Chief of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, said he had already been receiving “endless complaints” from US citizens about Trump’s immigration abuses. Now, even off-duty police officers are reporting similar mistreatment.

Bruley made it clear that all of the officers coming forward are people of color, saying they “know what the Constitution is … and they know when people are being targeted.” He added: “If it is happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day. It has to stop.”

TRUMP’S UNPRECEDENTED CORRUPTION

A new report exposes that during his first year back in office, Trump made at least $1.4 billion. Other estimates suggest his family may have pulled in as much as $10 billion in that same time period.

Much of it is tied to crypto assets, meme coins, and other schemes that are nearly impossible to track—the same way money launderers, drug traffickers, and other criminals move cash around. The depth of corruption is unprecedented.

Just imagine their reaction if you showed a Trump fan this report and said it was about the Biden family.

CONTEMPT FOR BONDI

Speaking of corruption, just yesterday Dem Rep. Summer Lee introduced an amendment that would hold AG Pam Bondi in contempt.

Lee stated: “Since August, [Bondi] has been legally compelled by our bipartisan subpoena to release the full, unredacted Epstein files. Without the full files, we can’t have a serious investigation. It’s time she answers for her role in this cover-up.”

TRUMP’S BROKEN BRAIN GETS WORSE

It was fitting that one year after Trump’s sad, poorly attended indoor coronation, he took a stack of his “accomplishments” and threw them on the floor in the White House press briefing room. The only thing more appropriate would have been tossing them straight into a trashcan, where they belong.

The press conference was supposed to highlight his first year back in office. Instead, Trump bumbled on nonsensically for more than an hour.

Afterward, his former Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham called the spectacle “low-energy” and “bizarre,” saying it proves Trump is “mentally slipping.” And former Trump attorney Ty Cobb said his cognitive decline at the presser was “palpable.”

NEWSOM SLAMS TRUMP AT DAVOS

Trump’s rant in Davos, Switzerland yesterday can be summed up as the ramblings of an unhinged tyrant going on and on about his personal grievances. He confused Greenland with Iceland, obsessed over his windmill lies, and sounded like a washed-up mobster issuing veiled threats to our allies. It was beyond pathetic—even for him.

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom, who was on the ground in Davos, responded immediately. Newsom said Trump’s meandering hour-long tirade was “boring and boorish,” and added that it was “significant in its insignificance.”

The next day, Newsom blasted Trump’s rampant abuses of power, asking: “How the hell are we putting up with this?” That is an excellent question.

We need to stop this regime—which is why we launched our Midterm Accountability Project. Our goal is to win back the House and Senate by obliterating maga propaganda, generating billions of impressions every month on social media, and keeping nonstop pressure on Congress. But we can’t do it without you.
