We had to reschedule my chat with US Rep. Sarah McBride for Monday of next week, as she has Committee votes today that popped up. I’ll keep everyone updated!

My interview with Rep. Robin Kelly on impeaching Noem: https://tinyurl.com/y3fx5pt2

Today we are focused on these 4 actions:

Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: https://tinyurl.com/253mfne4

Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now: https://tinyurl.com/yzm32ams

Pass bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID: https://tinyurl.com/bp8cau82

Demand answers about Trump’s visibly deteriorating health: https://tinyurl.com/sk9xm38v

Jesus would have done what Don Lemon did. We should keep protesting in the streets and churches against Christofascism. I wrote a poem for Don as a tribute to his bravery: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/don-lemon-poem

I hadn't heard about this, and I never had Don Lemon pegged as a brave person, but hooray for his stand!

Don Lemon has his moments, but he always makes everything about himself. I think he’s certainly misogynistic, but also he’s rude and disrespectful.

It is imperative that Noem be removed from DHS. She is a destructive influence and security is not her purpose. Her behavior, like Frumpy’s is marked by the desire to harm and degrade and terrorize those she considers less than herself. She is not managing anything but her photo shoots. She has mishandled funds and has lied to Congress about “ No American citizens have been detained”

There have been many deaths in the detention camps on her watch. She has not investigated these deaths. She is unfit to lead anything. When she killed her dog for bad behavior, it said far more about her inability to properly train Cricket than anything else. The failure was hers. And then she killed a goat.

She is, in my opinion, a woman who enjoys violence for violence’s sake and her conduct with ICE bears this out .

I agree 100%, Susan!

This is a wonderful means for contacting our representatives. There’s no reason not to do if you care about peace.

Defund ICE. Defund the White House. Defund and lock up Trump!

Veronika Grimm-Matthews's avatar

Ms Jonington. I love you! Imagine all the money we would save that we could invest in education, in health care, in lowering the price of food! SO YES DEUND ALL OF THOSE!

Politics girl is awesome! So glad she ripped Scott Jennings. Would love to see her on your show! 😉

Here’s another link to share of pompous,out of touch multimillionaire Bessent.📣

I can't wait to listen...but 5, 10, 12 homes? By whose parents?? He's such a tool.

Maureen's avatar

I'd been following her since she got on Twitter but I was suspended permanently. I hope she's on Bluesky. She is BRILLIANTLY well spoken and a joy to listen to.

Defund trump and his regime, the whole thing is a grift.

Leigh McGowan is always great, and I love that she got Scott Jennings to shut up long enough for her to shame him.

Dictators and tyrants don’t equate to a “Board of Peace”, and paying $1 billion to join sounds like another grift to me.

The Epstein files need to be released, and trump and his regime need to be removed, indicted, convicted, and put in prison.

Cathy R's avatar

What country would pay Trump anything to be on his board of peace?

Lily's avatar

sounds like the other countries are getting wise to the con. After watching Davos demented rant (with my head in hands with embarrassment) attacking Carney and all of Europe is just fucking embarrassing to watch!

deb weinstein rome's avatar

apparently, Netanyahu has signed up...where is he getting a billion dollars and more importantly where is the money going? right into the bank accounts of trump and his billionaire friends

Consider that the Trump administration is the evolution of the Republican Party since Nixon and, especially, Reagan carried to its all-too-logical conclusion. U.S. democracy, always flawed but for decades trying to do better, has been rotting in plain sight. And too many upper-level Democrats (most of them white) still don't get it.

Sara Goodnick's avatar

The vast amounts of money, our money, being spent on ICE, is horrifying! Do MAGAS have any idea? Do they care? They should, because it’s taking away from all of us. The abuses and killings- this should not be happening.

Robot Bender's avatar

They don't care. They love what ICE is doing.

Charles Bastille's avatar

CNN needs to stop pretending that there are two sides to a story about the Trump-Epstein cartel and remove Jennings. If CNN wants someone to represent the other side of the political divide, find a conservative who doesn't support the child trafficking cult known as MAGA.

This isn't about politics. Media outlets that don't reflect that reality should be tuned out and their advertisers should be boycotted.

Jude Johnson's avatar

Nice thought, but remember who bought and runs CNN--a far right oligarch. They started leaning to the right a couple of years ago--Jake Tapper's focus on Biden's age and "dementia" and ignoring the Felon's is a prime example. Many of us tuned them out long ago.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

And also, the shameless flogging of Jake Tapper’s book about Biden that CNN did for weeks and weeks. It was nauseating.

Kim Nesvig's avatar

I’m sure that Jake is working furiously on a follow up book highlight Trump’s tendency to cleverly weave, mildly exaggerate, and possibly fill his diaper and nap through press events.

Charles Bastille's avatar

I haven't watched them since 9-11, I don't think. But I've seen enough clips of Jennings to know he's a maga goon.

I have only seen clips, I do not watch mainstream propaganda any longer!

Charles Bastille's avatar

I’ve only seen clips, too. Enough to know he’s a maga clown.

I’m laughing at the can of Spam instead of his face! Thank you, Scott!

To answer your last question, how could it possibly be a Board of Peace if he’s inviting Putin to join it?! I will never forget that Putin invaded Ukraine. I stand with 🇺🇦 Ukraine!

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

It’s classic 1984-speak.

Kristen Tikkanen's avatar

That "peace" board is basically a Grift Board. Yes, defund ice (small lettering intended) and impeach Noem. Release the Trumpstein files, all of them! Toppling corruption should happen, should have 12/19. Writing my rep's and congressmen today about defunding ice! Thank you, Scott!

Colleen Wetteland's avatar

Agree with you! I think it's great that Scott has pre-written letters for us! Thank you so much for that Scott!

Lily's avatar

Scott please add pre-written letters to Congress for invoking Article II Section 4 for demented Davos rant! Seriously, attacking Carney, Europe and calling himself daddy and is he invading Iceland now?????

celeste k.'s avatar

Of course ICE should be defunded. DHS and the Dept. of Defense should be defunded. Not one penny to these criminal organizations.

A Pat's avatar

ICE must be reformed with morality and ethics at its core. Give em hell Politics Girl! Board of Peace my arse. This guy knows zero about peace. It’s a scam.

And, I stand with Bernice King!

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

ICE needs to be abolished. There’s no way to “reform” Donny’s Gestapo.

A Pat's avatar

Definitely out of the hands of this Radical Republican Extremist group. Our whole system needs fixing.

Wis's avatar

I get the strong feeling that the GOP doesn’t think child rape is really all that bad. I don’t think they count girls as children if they have any breast tissue at all, whether they’re 11 or 16.

They believe the issue is moot and ultimately, the whole Epstein scandal is frivolous (trump definitely does).

It makes me so mad I could spit and I applaud Politics Girl (woman) for skewering that assh*le.

Mike Hammer's avatar

It certainly seems that way. Has Trump lost any voters since it’s been known he’s in the files?

Wis's avatar

I can’t tell - he’s got so many atrocities going on at once, that he has an approval rating above .03 astounds me.

Of course, I’ve been astounded quite a long time - really, since he was elected… twice.

vgratias@gmail.com's avatar

Congress should give NO money to ICE. ICE abuses are too rampant for a spineless Congress to attempt to correct. Leigh McGowan needs to be heard more. 😁

JOE P's avatar

The GRIFT never ends…..

JoBo's avatar

1. Democrats must stand strong on defunding ICE. We should not only contact our representatives, but also Chuck (cave-in) Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. They both have to lead vs. cave.

2. I enjoyed seeing someone throw truth in his face. He didn’t know what to do with it!

3. Board of Peace is a test to see who can bend over the furthest to trump. Trump will die and finally the doctors will tell us all the diagnosis ‘he suffered with’ and these very stupid billionaires (money is no IQ test) will make excuses. A Parliament of Pedo Protectors.

I am watching this coin-operated conman (Head in hands with embarrassment) right now in DAVOS and this fucker has literally lost his mind! This is the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen! SOMEONE STOP THIS FUCKING IDIOT! This is grandpa in a dementia rant! Is there anyone out there going to stop this fucker from representing himself...Cuz this shit he is spewing is not representing Americans!

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

It’s all dragging our country down, which is the Putin-approved plan.

Maureen's avatar

Fuck. I guess I'll have to watch it. Lemme get a big class of chianti first.
