Trump’s Fake Awards. FBI’s Real Numbers. One Heck Of A Week For The Resistance.

It's all here

While Trump’s “busy” collecting fake awards from tech oligarchs, I’m happy to have some great news to share with you today. I hope it gives you a break from the madness—even if just for a moment.

What we’re doing here isn’t just journalism. It’s a movement. And all of our work is powered by our subscribers, right here on Substack. So if you want to empower our relentless advocacy and fearless independent journalism—that will never bend to Trump—please become a paid subscriber today:

ANOTHER TRUMP LIE DEBUNKED

Well, well, well. Despite all of Trump’s lies during the 2024 campaign, we all knew crime was down under Biden-Harris. But now we have more proof: the FBI released crime statistics for last year—and they totally demolished Trump’s scare tactics. In fact, the frequency of crime in every single category went down.

Can’t wait to see who Trump blames for these numbers. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough for him to fire FBI Director Kash Patel.

WELCOME, GEOFF

Former GOP Lt. Gov. of Georgia, Geoff Duncan, finally announced he was switching parties and becoming a Democrat. Duncan said it “became so hard at times to try to figure out the right way to do the right thing, as a Republican.” That’s because Republicans don’t ever do the right thing for the people—only for billionaires.

In his op-ed about the switch, Duncan said: “Loving my neighbor is easier now.”

BETO IN NEBRASKA

Beto O’Rourke held a packed town hall in Omaha, NE on Tuesday. Beto’s been fighting hard against the GOP’s scheme to steal House seats in Texas. And people are fired up.

In a recent interview, Beto stated: “I think the election of 2026, is going to be decided in the summer of 2025. So we have to fight now, and every day going forward.”

Echoing that sentiment, rising star TX State Rep. James Talarico said this about Republican cheating: “What I’m advocating for is to stand up to bullies, to look them in the eye and not flinch, because we all know from our personal experiences, you don’t beat a bully by playing dead.” Exactly.

LISTEN TO CROCKETT

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett, someone who has no trouble confronting bullies, applauded Texas Dems, saying: “We do everything bigger in Texas, including fight.”

Crockett went on to say: “Democrats, I need y’all to listen to me clearly … once we get control back we have to be just as aggressive, if not more … than the Republicans.” Absolutely, in every way.

EPSTEIN COVER-UP DINNER

JD Vance was caught planning a dinner with AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and others, to create a “unified response” to the Epstein scandal. Also known as a cover-up.

Vance said it was a made-up story—which to me, confirms it was true. That’s almost as awkward as the time Vance was ordering donuts on the campaign trail.

Corporate media won’t meet this moment—they’ll continue to obey Trump in advance. Not me. In the nearly 10 years I’ve been taking on Trump, I’ve never given him an inch.

On top of my reporting, I’ve mobilized one of the largest social media networks in all of politics to contact Congress over half a million times since November. And we’re generating billions of impressions per month through our social media campaigns.

We’re building a movement that is powered by the people—but we can’t do it without your help.

So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll become a paid subscriber today—to help us push harder, dig deeper, and fight louder than ever before:

Thank you for being relentless, and never giving up the fight.

Onward!

Scott
