Pritzker Slams Trump, Stephen Miller Watches AOC Call Him A Clown, Zeldin Slammed At A Gala, and The Regime’s Troop Deployment Backfires

Their clown show collapses under our resistance

While Trump is “busy” golfing, I’m glad to have some good news for you today. I hope it gives you some relief from all the chaos—even if just for a moment.

DE NIRO INVITES YOU

As we covered yesterday, the October 18th “No Kings” protests are expected to be the largest mass demonstration in US history.

Legendary actor Robert De Niro urged folks to participate, saying: “We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy … often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential … we fought in two world wars to preserve it. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald … F**k that!”

De Niro added: “We are rising up again this time, non-violently raising our voices to declare no kings … we’re all in this together, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

AOC CALLS STEPHEN MILLER A CLOWN

Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the Trump regime this week, stating: “They are scraping and grasping at straws because they have nothing else.” Calling Stephen Miller a “clown,” AOC said “Laugh at them,” because it’s “one of the best ways you can dismantle a movement of insecure men.”

Better yet—Fox “News” forced Miller to watch the clip during an interview, and his flustered reaction proved AOC’s point.

PRITZKER’S GOT JOKES

Gov. JB Pritzker showed his funny side when reporting from the “frontlines,” in a bit for Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week.

Pritzker wore a vest as if he were reporting from a war zone, while a peaceful scene played out behind him. Joking that residents are “being forced to eat hot dogs with ketchup,” he quipped: “It’s a challenge to survive here in the city of Chicago, but there’s no hellscape that I’d rather be in.”

And in other good news, an appeals court ruled yesterday that the National Guard cannot be deployed to protect buildings or go on patrol in Illinois—for now.

INTERRUPTING LEE ZELDIN

Comedian Walter Masterson—one of the best at infiltrating maga with satire—got into a gala honoring EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

Masterson interrupted Zeldin’s speech, proposing a toast to him “for destroying our access to clean air and clean water. This is a cancer charity, and Lee Zeldin is going to be responsible for giving cancer to so many people.” As he was escorted out, Masterson yelled: “When I say cancer, you say enabler!”

Zeldin was then interrupted by a member of the group Climate Defiance, who asked: “Isn’t it nice we’re here honoring him? What’s next—Ghislaine Maxwell for the women’s empowerment summit? ... You guys are such hypocrites.” Good trouble.

SOME REPUBLICANS CRACK

Serious cracks are beginning to show in the Republican Party. Take GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, who has pushed hard to release the Epstein files.

In Oklahoma, Gov. Kevin Stitt criticized Trump’s troop deployments, saying folks “would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma.” And Vermont Gov. Phil Scott called the deployments “unnecessary” and “unconstitutional.”

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene has been speaking out, recently saying she couldn’t find two things at the Capitol this week: “The Epstein files and … the Republican plan to fix the health insurance industry.”

To be clear: While dissent exists, the vast majority of Republicans are not pushing back against Trump. And the few who do, aren’t doing enough. Unlike the fearful GOP, we’ve been working hard against Trump and his accomplices for nearly a decade—and we’re not stopping now.

We’ll continue delivering fearless news coverage, while operating the longest-running social media push against Trump, and our enormous Contact Congress campaign.

I have two questions for you today.

If you were making the main sign for the “No Kings” protest, what phrase would you put on it?

What do you think about the comedian who interrupted Lee Zeldin’s speech to “make a toast?”
