Hot Mic, Hatch Act, and Heaven: Trump’s International Corruption Exposed, Noem’s Propaganda Rejected, and Crockett Brings The Fire

Shattering maga propaganda

While Trump is busy showing how much of an egotistical international embarrassment he can be, I’m glad to have some great news for you today.

For nearly a decade, we’ve had the longest-running effort against Trump, but we still have much more to do. So if you haven’t yet, please become a paid subscriber today:

CAUGHT ON HOT MIC

In what should be another huge scandal, Trump was caught on a hot mic discussing personal business, while at the Gaza Summit in Egypt.

Trump can be heard offering to connect the Indonesian President with his son Eric—who runs the Trump Organization, and has no role in the US government. Imagine if former President Joe Biden did this for Hunter—maga would lose it.

TRUMP INTERRUPTED

Trump’s address at the Israeli parliament yesterday did not go well for him. Visibly lost and confused, he prematurely stumbled to the microphone—where he was told it wasn’t his turn to speak.

At the beginning of Trump’s hour-long rant, two elected officials were silently protesting. One was simply standing and holding a sign that read: “Recognize Palestine,” before being forcefully ejected. It was not a good look.

Trump also whined like a toddler about how long everyone else’s speeches were. Even calling out several people by name. It was pathetic—even for him.

REFUSING HEGSETH’S LOYALTY PLEDGE

Several news organizations have refused to sign onto the Pentagon’s new obscene Press pass policies, including The New York Times, AP, WaPo, The Atlantic, and even Newsmax.

In a statement, The New York Times notes: “The public has a right to know how the government and military are operating.” They sure do. Especially since so much of our tax dollars are being wasted on a new makeup studio for Hegseth.

KRISTI NOEM’S PROPAGANDA REJECTED

A number of airports have said they will not air DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s propaganda video, which blames Democrats for the shutdown. They say playing the video would violate the Hatch Act, which prohibits government officials from using tax dollars or public resources for any partisan purposes.

This includes airports in Portland, Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and many others. Good.

CROCKETT AGREES WITH TRUMP ON ONE THING

While heading overseas, Trump told reporters he didn’t think he would ever wind up in heaven. Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett, shocked that she agreed with Trump on something, stated: “No pearly white gates for the Mean Manic Mad Mango Man!”

Crockett added: “I wonder how and why anyone would buy those Trump Bibles, he’s definitely never read any portion of one.” Quoting the Bible, Crockett noted that Trump has “not done anything good” for those who need the most help.

MARTIN SHEEN HAS SOME ADVICE

Actor Martin Sheen, who played the legendary role of US President Jed Bartlett on The West Wing, had some advice for Trump during an interview with Nicolle Wallace: “You are the biggest nothing in the world … stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants.”

Sheen added: “Stop fussing with your hair. Don’t worry about your tie. And stand up straight. And speak clearly, not from your throat. Speak from your heart and start being human. That’s what you were made for, not golf.”

He’s right. We deserve better. That’s why I’ll continue to fight this tyrant around the clock—as I have for nearly 10 years.

I have two questions for you today.

Do you think it’s ok for the DHS to push anti-Democratic videos in airports?
