CHAVEZ-DEREMER PUSHED OUT
Former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer didn’t willingly leave the regime—she was pushed out. There were allegations of an affair with a member of her security detail and reports of drinking on the job. Her husband was banned from Labor Department headquarters after two female staffers reported he touched them inappropriately.
Rep. Bobby Scott, the top Democrat on the House Education Committee, had already called for a second investigation into her conduct. There was a scheduled congressional hearing locked in for this week, where Democrats were going to demand answers publicly. She resigned before any of it could happen.
DNC Chair Ken Martin didn’t mince words: “Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned in disgrace as the latest cabinet member to leave Donald Trump’s circus.”
The regime’s third female cabinet member of the year was forced out—after Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. Democrats kept the pressure on. It worked.
RAVENNA CALLED IT OUT
No one expected a town of 11,000 in Ohio to actually stand up to Big Tech. But Will Hollingsworth walked to the microphone at a packed Ravenna City Council meeting on April 10 and didn’t hold back. “We are being asked to drain our reservoirs so a chatbot can write a poem or so our sheriff can generate a picture of himself standing next to Bigfoot,” he said.
Hollingsworth closed with: “A drop of clean water for a Ravenna child is worth more than a billion AI generated images—let us choose the child.” The speech has more than 250,000 views and counting.
And Hollingsworth knew exactly what he was talking about. He’s a digital artist who used to feed prompts to AI image generators for a living—until the machine he was training replaced him.
Just days later, the city council voted unanimously to approve a 12-month moratorium on data centers. Councilwoman Carmen Laudato didn’t hold back: “These things are not economic development. They are locusts and leeches on our resources.”
The regime thought it could hand its oligarchs keys to every small town in America. Ravenna changed the locks.
TRUMP LOSES, THE ENVIRONMENT WINS
Trump’s fossil fuel donors essentially wrote his energy policy—but Chief US District Judge Denise Casper in Boston just threw it out. The judge issued a court order this week blocking the Trump regime from enforcing anti-renewable energy policies against wind and solar companies nationwide.
The regime tried to require a mandatory sign-off on every solar and wind project on federal lands by the Interior Secretary. It’s a slow-walking tactic designed to kill clean energy through delay.
The coalition behind the suit fired back: “Clean energy is fast, affordable, and here to stay.”
EPSTEIN COVER-UP INVESTIGATED
The regime fired Pam Bondi over the Epstein files—because she wasn’t covering it up fast enough. Internal directives ordered 1,000 FBI agents to flag and redact Trump’s name throughout the files. Not surprisingly, some of the files containing accusations against Trump were removed from the public database.
After the DOJ admitted to withholding 200,000 pages from the public, Dem Rep. Ro Khanna said it clearly: “They’re already breaking the law.”
Yesterday, after intense bipartisan pressure from Rep. Khanna and GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, the DOJ’s own internal watchdog announced it was launching an audit into whether the Trump regime complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The IG operates with more independence than any prosecutor Trump has already fired or replaced. According to Deputy IG William Blier, the audit will “evaluate the DOJ’s processes for identifying, redacting, and releasing records in its possession as required by the Act.” The audit is open and the findings will be on the record.
I’ve been investigating Epstein for more than a decade and the cover-up is finally cracking. There is no way I’m stopping now.
The resistance runs on people who decided to fight back. Reader funding is how we investigate, organize, and keep the pressure on. Help us flip Congress by joining us as a paid subscriber today:
