Thank you for all the good news, Scott! The fascists are falling to the resistance. I wrote a poem for you, inspired by your bravery: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/scott-dworkin-poem

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you for writing this so cool!

Sam Jones's avatar

That's beautiful. Thank you SO MUCH for putting that together and sharing.

Julie's avatar

Powerful and so eloquent, Public Servant! Well done!

Peggy Freeman's avatar

That was excellent, Public Servant! Thank you for sharing!

Don Wilt's avatar

You’re a fine poet with a fine mind

Scott, Bondi sold her soul long ago when she was the Florida AG and accepted $25,00 to not join the class action suit against Trump University. I think the next one to go will be Kash Patel, too much negative publicity.

Judith Wynn's avatar

Lots of Trumpjokes waiting in the wings, RFKjr was the crown jewel in Trumpjokeland, followed by "Handmaid" Amy Coney Barrett.

Sylvia Arrowood's avatar

Awww. I will miss Krazy Eyes Patel and trying to figure where exactly he is looking.

Don Wilt's avatar

I think you’re right — can’t wait to watch. Hope to see all in jail someday.

Laurel Friedmann's avatar

Since tRump seems to like firing women I guess Tulsi Gabbard and while she is totally unqualified for her position, tRump likes his manosphere too much to go there YET

Wis's avatar

Yeah, the misogyny isn’t lost on me, either, Laurel. Well said!

Sam Jones's avatar

I think Kash, Howard Lutnick, and others may be on the short list too (fingers crossed)

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

I'm just waiting for the "I hardly knew the guy" comments that he used to distance himself from people immersed in scandal during Trump 1.0.

Sam Jones's avatar

lol! I bet there will be a lot of that

Heidi L 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇬🇱's avatar

I've heard rumors that Lutnick is on thin ice.

Patti Scott's avatar

She was on my list too but they are all so bad

I would like to see Harmeet Dhillon fired myself. Making empty threats to the DNC about "obstruction of justice" if they dare push back against the voter roles fiasco. Idk who she thinks she is, but she needs to deflate that ego.

Karen Nagel's avatar

I would like to see Kash Patel go but also the woman who is head of the Department of Education. Glad the Democrats held firm. I can hardly wait for November.

Sam Jones's avatar

Yeah, I absolutely hate that he surrounds himself with terrible people, and I have no qualms saying FIRE THEM ALL!

Wis's avatar

Omigosh! “No qualms”? That’s so “gentle”. Be proud of your wishes - we all share them! I say purge them all, starting with trump being impeached, and I honestly have “no qualms” SHOUTING this from the rooftops! (Though not literally - sniper fire would get me…)

Btw, Sam, you deserve kudos alongside Scott - thank you both for your work!

Sam Jones's avatar

Aw thanks, Wis!!!

Heidi L 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇬🇱's avatar

I thought "FIRE THEM ALL" was too gentle!

Patti Scott's avatar

I do think Patel is most likely but it really is a toss up

Deb Chrystal's avatar

A woman will, once again e dismissed, Gabbard or the wench at Dept of Ed

Mike Johnson had no choice! He knows Repugs own the shut down, the war and all rising prices

Sam Jones's avatar

And he probably thinks he can still win the ICE funding fight. But we're here to prove him wrong.

NanCala's avatar

I agree it will be a woman. His misogyny will always ax the women first then start on his “I don’t like you at the moment” male loyalists. I’m thinking there’ll be a purge of some sort. He’s not loyal to anyone (Bannon & Miller…maybe) and often needs a new landscape to lash out at. We’ll see….

Patti Scott's avatar

He doesn’t care about education so McMahon is probably safe

Maggie Tramontano's avatar

I hope the next to be fired will be JFK, Jr; his policies are making America sick again,

The capitulation of Maga Mike on the DHS funding bill shows what can happen when Democrats (and Independents and some reasonable Republicans) stick to their resolve and not cave in. We need to see more of this type of resistance.

Julie's avatar

I wish JFK, Jr. were still alive. His cousin, RFK, Jr., is a stain on his family's legacy of public service.

Sam Jones's avatar

Bob would be a fine choice to fire.

Carol Richardson's avatar

You mean to say RFK Jr.

Tim's avatar

No time for glee, not a moment to rest satisfied. These results important. Thank you Scott for every report. But the struggle against a budding fascist regime is not won when one corrupt lackey merely gets replaced by another. Hold strong, people.

Sam Jones's avatar

Yep. These victories are at very least some much-needed fuel for the next fight!

Madam Geoffrin's avatar

Great reporting, Scott! I had no idea about Arkansas but now I do!!

Patrick P's avatar

I was going to comment on Pam Bondi's firing but for something I just read.

I read 2 Airforce Airmen were shot down in the skies over Iran have now been captured. I pray for not only the 2 Airmen but for their families. I further pray that the Iranian Regime will treat them as prisoners of war. I have read stories coming out of Iran about civilians being executed for protesting the Regime. I have also watched Pete Hegseth go on live TV and say flippantly, that he will give no quarter. Imagine that coming from the Defense department chief of America. No quarter, we have 2 Airmen captured by Iran. I wonder if he still believes his false bravado. I also wonder if he would change positions with the Airmen. My guess is he would not.

Sam Jones's avatar

Yeah forethought is not something this regime is capable of, apparently. Sad to hear about the Airmen—but as of the most recent reports, one has been rescued by special forces. And operations to find the second are underway!

Don Wilt's avatar

What a waste of human beings

DocArch's avatar

Not so much will be thrown under the bus but who is the most damaged, dangerous and deceitful and my vote is Hegseth. The firing of Generals and Admirals who don’t bend is disgraceful! I’m a bit prejudiced having served for 20 years, but Hegseth’s firing is long overdue!

Sam Jones's avatar

Yes! Would love to see that happen

Bill Riley's avatar

Re Johnson and Reps folding, I believe they’re now hearing from so many of their outraged constituents

Bill Riley's avatar

That they’re finally fleeing from DJT’s rapidly sinking ship.

Patti Scott's avatar

The voters will need to fire him

Sam Jones's avatar

And it's only going to get louder from here!

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

We need to keep it up!

I have a GOP trifecta when it comes to to representation. I call them regularly and try not to miss an opportunity to remind my Senators that I hold them responsible for rubber-stamping Trump's unqualified nominees!

Murray Smart's avatar

The ROT starts at the top - the most ROTTEN CORRUPT human being (?) EVER in the WH! "Everything Trump Touches Dies". He is just full of HATE, just like his Corrupt Regime! A key requirement to work for him is to be full of HATE! And do NOTHING for the American people or anywhere else in the world (HATE them do NOT help them) - just Worship your Dear Leader and fulfill his HATE FILLED Agenda! Keep the Receipts and Use the Receipts to send ALL of these HATE FILLED monsters to Jail and Make them Pay Financially for their Crimes against America and Americans and the rest of the world!

Wis's avatar

And jail them in their own immigrant concentration camps…!

Peggy Freeman's avatar

Bring them all down to Alligator Alcatraz and leave them there to rot!

Wis's avatar

Yes! First, let’s free the other detainees, unload the swamp-drenched trumpers (and trump) into the facility, then abandon it, allowing it go back to nature. The trumpers would be on their own, but they should fit right in. They ARE swamp.

Marc's avatar

Today is definitely a Good Friday!

Sam Jones's avatar

You're right about that, Marc!

Michelle K Irwin's avatar

Last time I voted for Bob Kennedy Jr, this time I am placing my bet on Kash Patel... Maybe b'cuz of all his plane rides to Nashville & Vegas on the taxpayers dime?

Poor Lil Mike, can't get a thing done in the House... He changes his mind as fast as an open book flips pages in the wind... Mostly hot air!!!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend you all....

Wis's avatar

👏💕👏

Sam Jones's avatar

I hope you have a great weekend as well, Michelle!

Sam Jones's avatar

These wins have me fired up — our community is showing real power and leverage right now. We held the line, forced them to fold, and we’re just getting started.

Dig in, folks. We have the momentum, and we’re going to use it to win big in the midterms.
