Republicans Melt Down Over Tennessee Special Election, While Trump Mobile Grift Falls Apart, and The EU Stands Firm Against A Failing Regime's Bullying Tactics

Dismantling the maga machine

Happy Saturday, and thanks for being here! I hope today’s great news brings you plenty of positive vibes.

Thanks to this awesome community here on Substack, we’re still completely free of corporate influence—with no ads and no billionaires. But we need all hands on deck to keep things going full speed ahead. So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll back our independent journalism and unmatched activism against Trump, by becoming a paid subscriber today:

Let’s jump in.

TENNESSEE RACE HEATS UP

Recent polls show Dem State Rep. Aftyn Behn down by only two points in the special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District—which will be held on Tuesday. The fact that this seat is within reach for Democrats is a very bad sign for the GOP, as Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024.

SWALWELL SUES THE REGIME

Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell is suing Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, saying he “abused his position” in an effort to make up “fanciful allegations of mortgage fraud” against Trump’s enemies. Swalwell states that Pulte “combed through private records of political opponents” like himself, Sen. Adam Schiff, NY AG Letitia James, and others—“To silence them.”

We need more people willing to sue members of the Trump regime over their constant abuses of power.

PHONE GRIFT EXPOSED

Trump Mobile is off to a terrible start, and is getting exposed as another massive Trump family grift. NBC News reported that they paid the required deposit in order to claim a phone back in August, but there’s still no sign of receiving one.

Even better, the company blamed the government shutdown for the delayed delivery—which makes absolutely zero sense. And they are now selling refurbished, overpriced Samsung and iPhone devices instead, as some sort of consolation prize. One thing is certain—this is just more corruption from Trump and his family.

EU OFFICIAL ACCUSES REGIME OF “BLACKMAIL”

Teresa Ribera, a top official within the European Union, delivered a scathing rebuke of the Trump regime.

In response to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s offer of lowering tariffs if the EU loosened online regulations for American businesses, Ribera stated: “It is blackmail … The European digital rulebook is not up for negotiation.”

TRUMP LOSES IT MORE

Ever since the tide turned against him on releasing the Epstein files, Trump’s been more unhinged than ever. On Thanksgiving, he once again proved this by responding to a simple question from a reporter with a personal insult.

CBS News’ Nancy Cordes was asking about the murderer who shot two National Guard troops in DC, when Trump interrupted, saying: “are you stupid … you’re a stupid person.”

This tantrum from the toddler while in Florida is another reminder that Trump’s unfit. I wouldn’t trust him to operate a juice box, let alone to run the White House.

WALZ CALLS FOR TRUMP’S MRI

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz hit back, after Trump used a disgusting and hateful term to attack his intelligence. Walz responded directly with this statement: “Release the MRI results.”

It was the perfect answer. It cuts through the insult and gets straight to the heart of the matter. This is the kind of fearless pushback we need—just like we’ve delivered for nearly a decade now.

We expose the reality about Trump that corporate media is too afraid to even mention, every single day. We take a sledgehammer to maga propaganda with our daily news briefs. And our activism arm—The Watchdog Coalition—has reached lawmakers over half a million times in a year. All while generating billions of impressions on social media to dominate the narrative online.

We do it all with zero corporate influence, and no ads, because all of our work is powered by our community here on Substack. So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll support our movement against Trump by becoming a paid subscriber today:

Onward!
