Trump Is A Tyrant. Here’s How Folks Are Fighting Back.

Three booed operatives, a crumbling dictator, and more

Our voices are getting louder, as more and more folks are rising up, speaking out, and refusing to back down. The great news I have for you today is proof of that.

We’re a reader-powered sledgehammer, built to smash through the Trump regime’s lies and propaganda. No ads, no corporate strings, no billionaire bosses. Just independent journalism that mobilizes the resistance.

But we can’t do it without you. So if you haven’t already, help fuel our movement by becoming a paid subscriber today:

BOOS FOR THE TRUMP TRIO

Yesterday inside DC’s Union Station, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller were loudly booed. They were there for a propaganda session and photo op with some of the National Guard troops Trump ordered to occupy our nation’s capital.

Talk about one of the worst trios ever. Someone from the crowd screamed “f**k you, JD Vance.” I’m booing them right now too. I’ve lived through 4 presidencies in DC. What Trump has done to the city warrants his immediate impeachment and removal.

EPSTEIN

Tomorrow, the DoJ will begin a partial release of hand-selected Epstein files to Congress. This is just part of the cover-up. We need everything—now.

OBAMA BACKS CALIFORNIA

Yesterday, former President Barack Obama endorsed California’s ballot initiative to redraw their congressional map.

At an event this week, Obama called Newsom’s plan the “responsible approach.” Obama added: “We cannot unilaterally allow one of the two major parties to rig the game.” Absolutely right.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL

Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier—who has spent nearly three days locked in the state Capitol—joined a video chat with CA Gov. Gavin Newsom, Dem Sen. Cory Booker, and DNC Chair Ken Martin yesterday. Collier said: “We need all soldiers on deck, and so I'm not deterred by these intimidation tactics.”

Collier was speaking from inside a bathroom at the Capitol. During the conversation, you could hear someone talking in the background, when Collier abruptly stated: “I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this.”

Newsom’s response when it happened, as seen above, says it all. I felt the same way.

Newsom said: “This is not about parties … It's about holding the line. It's about protecting all of us … This is profound as it is precious, and we are going to fight back … and we're going to win.”

Booker, calling the situation “outrageous,” said Rep. Collier “has more dignity than Donald Trump … what they’re trying to do right there is silence an American leader, silence a Black woman.”

This should never happen in America, but it’s part of the cancer that is the Trump regime. A dictatorship that enables other tyrants like TX Gov. Greg Abbott to abuse their power. We must all stand together, and loudly push back against their tyranny.

TEXAS RESISTS

In the rotunda of the Texas Capitol yesterday, a flood of people protested against Trump’s scheme to steal US House seats.

Dem Rep. Greg Casar showed up and gave an impassioned speech, saying: “They’re afraid … they can see amongst all of us, people being mobilized across the state of Texas—that have had it with a corrupt governor, a corrupt president, and a corrupt attorney general.”

The resistance is rising. And we’re proud to help lead the charge, just like we have for nearly a decade.

Every day, our social media operations mobilize folks to fight back against Trump. And our massive Contact Congress campaign has reached lawmakers more than half a million times since November. All on top of delivering our daily news briefs.

But we can’t do any of this without the support of our subscribers.

We don’t have billionaires bankrolling us, no advertisers making us push snake oil, and no corporate overlords telling us to be nice to Trump. This is independent journalism, combined with relentless pressure, to make a real difference.

So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll join us as a paid subscriber today:

Onward!
