Trump Crushed As Kennedy Center Ratings Plummet To Record Lows, Judge Cancels Abrego Garcia Trial, and Jasmine Crockett Blasts The “Con Man”

More bad news to ruin Trump’s weekend

Every single day, we’re taking on the Trump regime, smashing straight through maga’s propaganda machine.

We never bow to billionaires or advertisers, because every bit of work we do is powered entirely by this community of resistance on Substack. So please help us keep our momentum going by upgrading to a paid subscription today:

Thanks for being here. Let’s dive in.

KILMAR’S TRIAL CANCELED

A federal judge handed the Trump regime a massive loss recently, canceling Kilmar Ábrego García’s trial over apparent bogus DOJ charges. A hearing next month will now determine if the case is retaliatory, potentially leading to a full dismissal. García was released from a detention center early last week. More to come.

A MASS PROTEST TO KICK OFF 2026

On January 20th of next year at 2pm local time—one year after Trump took office—the Women’s March is planning a nationwide protest called the “Free America Walkout.” The group says “we will walk out of work, school, and commerce because a Free America begins the moment we stop cooperating with fascism.” I’ll keep you posted on this.

RATINGS PLUMMET FOR KENNEDY CENTER HONORS

The Kennedy Center Honors suffered their lowest TV ratings ever, with Trump acting as the “master of ceremonies.”

CBS decided not to use Trump’s name in the Kennedy Center title because it “requires Congressional approval.” It sure does. CBS also cut Trump’s opening segment down from 12 minutes to just two. Good, but that’s still two minutes longer than he deserves.

CROCKETT ON THE CON MAN

On Christmas Day, Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett spent time serving food to unhoused people in Texas. And the very next day, during an interview on CNN, she served up a blistering takedown of Trump—and explained why even his own voters are turning against him.

“People are understanding it’s not good to have a con man as commander in chief,” Crockett stated. “People are frustrated because the cost of everything is going up. We’ve lost 1.1 million jobs since he swore in just in January. People are not happy with anything that is going on.” They sure aren’t.

COLBERT DOESN’T HESITATE

Recently, Stephen Colbert joined Slate’s Political Gabfest. When he was asked who he would switch bodies with for a day, Colbert said: “Such a predictable answer for me. But I would slip inside the skin of [Trump] and I would resign.”

Sure, we would then need to impeach and remove JD Vance, but it’s a great thought. The reality is, though, there is no magic moment like that coming to save us. We are the cavalry. And the only way to counter maga is to confront it head-on, every single day.

In addition to our top-rated daily news briefs, we take a sledgehammer to Trump’s propaganda while mobilizing the resistance. In the last year alone, we’ve contacted members of Congress 563,000 times, and we run one of the strongest social media campaigns ever built to take on this regime.

We have no corporate overlords, no billionaires, and no fear. But keeping our operation going depends on folks like you. So if you believe the truth is worth fighting for and want to support our work, please upgrade to a paid subscription today:

I have two questions for you today.

Do you plan to participate in the January 20th “Free America” protest?

Do you think the DOJ’s case against Kilmar Ábrego García is vindictive/retaliatory?
