Thanks for being here. Let’s jump in.

FIREWALL BUILDING AGAINST TRUMP

Rebellion against the Trump regime is spreading fast.

This month, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the Immigrant Safety Act into law, banning all public agencies from entering into contracts with ICE to detain people for civil immigration violations. It’s one of the boldest direct challenges to Trump’s deportation machine in the country.

Hartford, Connecticut, moved to end its ICE contract. In Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan met with Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt four times to pressure her into signing a detention agreement—she didn’t budge an inch. And Gov. Tim Walz is betting on the people, proposing a $10 million relief package for small businesses devastated by Trump’s raids.

But the truth is these officials aren’t leading the resistance. They’re following it.

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, high schoolers walked out of their classes—one holding a sign that read: “My classmates aren’t illegal.” In South Carolina and Indiana, citizens gathered to protest new ICE offices. And in Dallas County, Texas, warehouse owners said no to a federal detention center.

From coast to coast, the message is clear: get ICE out of our communities. This is the resistance—and it’s forcing results.

ALLIES GIVE UP ON TRUMP

Trump was repeatedly raked over the coals this weekend at the Munich Security Conference.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz revealed he has been holding private talks with French President Emmanuel Macron about developing a European nuclear deterrence program. Merz put it bluntly: “The United States’ claim to leadership has been challenged, and possibly lost.”

Denmark said they still aren’t buying Trump’s pledge to not invade Greenland. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called Trump’s threats “unacceptable.”

After holding more than a dozen meetings with foreign leaders, Veteran and astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly dropped the hammer: “When Secretary Rubio said the ‘old world order was dead’ during his speech in Munich, he was right. It’s dead because Donald Trump blew it up.”

Kelly added: “I know there was celebration at the end of the Munich Security Conference. Unfortunately, the champagne corks were popping in Beijing and Moscow.”

CALIFORNIA STEPS UP

While Trump was busy losing the world’s trust, Gov. Gavin Newsom was in Munich trying to rebuild it. On Saturday, he signed a memorandum of understanding with Ukraine, committing California as a “steady transatlantic partner.” It was a pledge to strengthen trade ties and help fund reconstruction in areas Putin has destroyed.

Newsom told world leaders what they desperately needed to hear: “Donald Trump is temporary. He’ll be gone in three years,” urging them not to let “three years of doubling down on stupid destroy seventy-five years of shared destiny.”

This is the new reality of American diplomacy. Since Trump won’t lead, others will.

FACT CHECK: TRUMP’S BOARD OF PEACE

Ahead of Thursday’s meeting of his fake “Board of Peace,” Trump announced that members have already pledged $5 billion to rebuild Gaza.

There’s one massive problem. The United Nations, World Bank, and European Union estimate reconstruction will cost a minimum of $70 billion. So Trump only has about 7% of what’s actually needed—money that doesn’t even exist yet—and may never.

This isn’t a Board of Peace. It’s a propaganda vehicle for dictators who want to look peaceful when they are anything but. That’s probably why France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom have all declined to join.

AOC DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY ON WORLD STAGE

Just days after Pam Bondi melted down with her zero-star performance in front of the House, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the AG hard.

Speaking before 1,100 students at a university in Berlin, AOC said: “You are the Attorney General of the United States of America and you don’t want to hold any one of these [Epstein] pedophiles accountable? Resign or be impeached!”

Bondi is acting as Trump’s personal lawyer, spying on members of Congress, and running the biggest coverup in American history—all while serving as the highest law enforcement officer in the land.

Corporate media won’t present the news to you like this. They’re too busy kissing Trump’s ring. Too beholden to billionaires and advertisers to ever organize against him.
