Great Job Scott, thank you something for Congress We the people will not pay for the ballroom. Period. Remembering President Trump asked his billionaire buddies for $ to pay for the ballroom. Received 300 million who knows how much more and where is that money now? The construction below is not completed. Congress needs to tell him NO! Use the money collected from his buddies. Furthermore see Jeff Tiedrich’s substack this am with evidence why the ballroom isn’t what is needed. Videos Congress can see too.

We the people want the war to stop on Iran.

We the people are not 2nd rate citizens, we want our healthcare, lower prices, cost of living, stimulus checks to subsidize not only tariffs paid but living expenses and affordable housing. Companies can request $ for paying tariffs- where is the oversight on Companies who made sure the consumers pay and are those companies wanting and requesting $ for tariffs.

Furthermore almost every state has encountered extreme catastrophic weather conditions and Congress needs to act now to appropriate funds (we pay taxes for everything) from CA, WA, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, GA fires, Fl fires, tornadoes in mid west, flooding and where is FEMA?) Thank you

Done! I’m getting more and more and more impressed by AOC! She has energy, smarts, she’s articulate and focused. Would she and Bernie team up and run for prez? Bernie, maybe not due to his age, but there are several good dems for her to choose from! POTUS AOC - all acronyms, all the time

Scott - I and I imagine others, would like to hear from you and other Lawyers on Substack what the Constitutional fixes you would enact on the Executive Branch, if you could work your will?

Brother, this is the kind of edition that keeps me fighting.

Real resistance, real pushback, real hope. Thank you for staying focused on what matters when everyone else gets distracted.

Ore people like smith need to speak out about the destruction taking place to our country under the rule of trump and all the authors of project 2025 . Trump supporters and republicans better wake the hell up before they are all impacted by tge the Big Beautiful Bill set to take effect AFTER the November elections. Our troops deserve the truth of what us going on and his trump and Hegseth are destroying our armed forces and this country with Steven Miller at the helm

Thank you for focusing on resistance wins. There is more than enough 'coverage' of the WHCD incident. Sick, sick, sick of it.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thanks LEJ I am possibly going to release a clear fact check on everything with that, but won't cover it in their way

Great news for today, Scott, especially about Hagerstown blocking the ICE concentration camp, and the watchdog speaking truth to the drump apex predatorship. Citizens are not that stupid to keep swallowing a boatload of his garbage every day. Thank you and keep it up!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you Dennis!

Sam Jones's avatar

Yes. Let's go Hagerstown!

I read a post in the Crisis & Transition substack by Mr. Logan who talked about Michelle Obama's famous quote "When they go low, We go .......................... He talked about how we need leaders right now who are lions instead of goats. We cannot allow republicans and orange man's loyalists to continue to attack without standing up and fighting back. I read these articles that you post every day, Scott, and I see the lions in our resistance; however, they are not our political leaders! My comment on Mr. Logan's post said that it is so very hard right now to believe anything that comes out of any politicians' mouth! I know the orange man lies as easily as he breathes, but he is not the only one. While republicans have shown they are loyal only to the man in the White House and do not listen to their constituents, democrats have not stepped up and fought back as they should. Yes, there are a small handful that are fighting hard, but many democrats in Congress are beholding to their billionaire donors and don't seem to want to rock the boat. We need politicians that will go up to Washington and begin right away to eliminate Citizens United, get the dark money out of politics, determine a fair tax that requires the wealthy to pay their fair share, work out a humane and just immigration policy and return the programs that the orange man and his minions have cut or eliminated. Politicians that will tackle not only the affordability issues but the growing educational crisis. We need lions to take the lead and help honest, hard-working citizens and stop this 'vulgar gilded age' in its tracks.

Thank you, Sam! I am really studying the candidates running in my area. I want to vote for a candidate that will actually work for the people!

BEpiper's avatar

We also need vultures and carrion beetles to sooner than later remove all the sludge foisted on the nation during this “vulgar gilded age.”

Wonderful phrase, Peggy!

AOC quoted part of the Pledge of Allegiance in the announcement but she left off the best part, the last phrase which to me all the hypocrites in the MAGA/so called GOP forget:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL."

Is there a way to access the Stars and Stripes column?

Thank you Kathy. I was a Marine and my brother was an Airman. I'm sending this link to him in just a sec.

Scott, thank you for sharing good news despite the annihilation of our democracy by Trump, his administration, and most GOP members of Congress. We all need that boost. These are trying times. We need to be strong and keep up the good fight.

DocArch's avatar

Words cannot damage the hyperbolic hypocritical hubris of Hegseth enough! I’m a proud patriot who served two tours in Germany…and devoured the Stars and Stripes even had an article published about the wall coming down since I’d arrived in Berlin the night after the wall came down and wrote about it! What an absolute abomination for something so massively malicious! I’m angry beyond belief. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you! Onward!

Julie's avatar

Hi Scott! Your daily news is akin to a shot of Red Bull. Thank you.

LOVE the billboard! Well done, Hagerstown!

The regime loves to try to run us into exhaustion. Your newsletter shows us that they are having the opposite effect. Energizing us to creatively resist at every turn. Yay, resisters!!!
