Trump Hates This Great News

Protest outside Trump Tower, an awesome billboard in Phoenix, Kanye West banned, and more

While Trump and his cult run around bragging about stealing food from children, I’m truly happy to be able to deliver another edition of Great News for you today. I hope it gives you a bit of relief from all the chaos—even if just for a moment.

Our work isn’t possible without support from readers like you. So if you haven’t yet, please become a paid subscriber today. It keeps us 100% independent of corporate influence, while fueling our journalism and advocacy:

At a Fourth of July parade in Maryland, Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin was fired up—waving, and handing out mini copies of The Constitution to families who were there. Would someone please give Trump a copy? Not that he would read it.

A group of protesters in NYC laid down in front of Trump Tower, holding signs that looked like headstones. One read “my hospital bought by private equity,” and another said “DOGE canceled my cancer trial.” We will constantly call out Trump and the GOP for passing this big evil bill. Everyone should.

A new billboard went up in downtown Phoenix, AZ, featuring a shirtless Trump chest-deep in a swamp—wearing a crown, and holding a Trump-brand phone. In the background there is a nuclear blast, an alligator with a maga hat, a Tesla Cybertruck sinking, a plane with “Big Beautiful Bribe” on the side of it, and more.

Artist Karen Fiorito, who is behind the artwork, said this about it: “You need to make fun of these people … humor is one of the most powerful weapons when it comes to dictators.” So true.

Australia has banned rapper Kanye West from entering the country, over his absurd song which praises hitler. “We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry,” Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said. We don’t want him either.

GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden sent an official letter begging WI Gov. Tony Evers to rush the state’s budget through—claiming to worry about cuts to rural hospitals. Newsflash: those cuts were included in the big evil bill Van Orden voted for.

As always, we should take polls with a grain of salt. But a new Catawba-YouGov poll shows Trump’s disapproval rating has reached 50% in North Carolina. The state will be one of the biggest battlegrounds on the road for Democrats to win back the Senate.

Since 2016, I’ve proudly helped lead the opposition against Trump. I fell into journalism, because others in corporate media simply weren’t doing their jobs.

Now here we are, nearly a decade and countless threats from maga later, and I’m still pummeling away. There’s no chance I’m stopping now.

My promise to you is that I’ll keep delivering unfiltered independent news every single day. We’ll keep expanding our enormous Contact Congress campaign, and continue using our social media network to fight back against this unhinged regime.

But we can’t do it without you. We’re 100% reader-funded—no billionaires, no ads, and no nonsense. So if you haven’t yet, please join us as a paid subscriber today:

No matter how you subscribe, thanks for fighting for democracy.

Onward!
