COURTS SHUT THE TRAP

US District Court Judges George Russell III and Julia Kobick

The Trump regime built a two-stage trap for immigrants. If you were born in one of 39 countries, they flagged you as a national-security risk—which counted against you in every application including green cards, work permits, and citizenship.

Then the regime froze all processing of applications from those 39 countries—collecting $1 billion in fees from 2 million applicants it never intended to help.

Lavida, a spokesperson for Project Press Unpause—a grassroots campaign organizing affected people to fight back—said: “We are legal immigrants, the kind this administration claims to only want, placed under an indefinite hold because of our country of birth—something we cannot control.”

Last week, two federal judges shut it down. US District Judge George Russell III ruled: “USCIS does not have discretion to decide not to adjudicate at all.” US District Judge Julia Kobick struck down both the nationality penalty and the processing freeze—the first federal ruling to take on both discriminatory practices at once.

The regime took a billion dollars from immigrants and tried to bury their futures. Two courts just buried the Trump regime’s trap instead.

THEY KNOW THEY’RE LOSING

Trump promised lower prices on day one. He’s delivered the opposite—and the regime is paying for it in the polls. On Friday, a White House official admitted: “The vibe right now is we know we are already cooked in the midterms.”

As of today, gas is at $4.45 a gallon—up nearly $1.25 since Trump’s Iran war launched in late February. It’s the highest price in four years. And Federal Reserve economists say Trump’s tariffs are why inflation hasn’t dropped to pre-pandemic levels.

Even a Fox poll now has voters trusting Democrats more than Republicans on the economy 52% to 48%.

November is coming.

WES MOORE BUILDS MIDTERM FIREWALL

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore

Trump is trying to steal the midterms. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just made that harder, signing the Maryland Voting Rights Act of 2026 to ban election methods designed to reduce Black and minority voting power.

The law also gives Maryland the authority to take violators to court before they can do damage. And it gives Moore a new path to redraw congressional districts ahead of November.

Moore was clear about the stakes: “The voting rights we hold today are heirlooms fought for and secured by the generations before us, and we will not sit on the sidelines when those fundamental rights are threatened.”

And Moore didn’t stop there, slamming Trump directly: “I will not bend the knee. I think he’s very quickly learning that I’m a Marylander and I’m built different.”

The regime’s midterm strategy just ran into a Maryland firewall.

CBS FACES PUSHBACK FROM THEIR OWN

CBS News reporter Sharyn Alfonsi

CBS News reporter Sharyn Alfonsi spent months reporting on the brutal conditions inside the notorious mega-prison in El Salvador called CECOT—where the Trump regime was sending Venezuelan migrants.

Her 60 Minutes report was screened five times, cleared by the network’s internal legal and editorial review process. It was fully sourced and ready to air on December 21—but her bosses pulled the story the night before.

In an internal memo that leaked out, Alfonsi directly pushed back against the move: “The public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship.” She now faces the potential of being fired, and was recently the victim of someone sending a SWAT team to her house.

None of that stopped Alfonsi from walking into the National Press Club and drawing the line, where she accepted the Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling last Thursday.

“Our industry is afraid of the wrong things—offending power, losing access,” Alfonsi said. “But what we should all be afraid of is silence. There is a fine line between being a team player and being an accomplice.”

Sharyn Alfonsi chose truth over the corporation that is trying to silence it. That’s exactly what we do every single day.

We’ve been in this fight since February 2016—exposing Trump’s corruption and finding the wins corporate media won’t cover. We’ve organized millions of calls and emails from our readers directly to their elected officials. And every single day we flood social media with the truth about Trump, reaching people who would never otherwise see it. None of it happens without you.

The regime hopes to put us out of business—help us disappoint them by becoming a paid subscriber today:

I have two questions today that I’d love to hear your take on in the comments.

The regime collected a billion dollars from legal immigrants and never processed their applications. What do you call that?

If you were Sharyn Alfonsi, would you have refused to change the story knowing it could cost you your job?
