GOP BALLOT SCHEME SHUT DOWN
Nebraska Republicans didn’t want a fair fight against independent challenger Dan Osborn. Their alleged plan: recruit conservative anti-abortion pastor William Forbes to run as a Democrat, split the opposition vote, and protect incumbent GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts.
When real Democrat Cindy Burbank jumped into the primary to stop it, the Republican Secretary of State pulled her off the ballot after his own party asked him to—claiming she wasn’t a “good-faith” candidate, since she openly supports Osborn.
The Nebraska Supreme Court put her back on the ballot on Monday. The ruling was clear: Burbank met every legal requirement, and the GOP missed the deadline to object. The Secretary of State then certified the primary ballot without her on it—apparently hoping the clock had run out. But the court stepped in and ordered him to recertify with Burbank’s name on it by 5pm that day. He complied.
Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb: “Republicans are so afraid of voters that they’d rather fight in courtrooms than compete at the ballot box. Nebraska Republicans should focus on earning votes, not erasing them.”
PUSH BACK IN EVERY WAY
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) serves more than 600,000 students—including nearly 30,000 immigrant students, a quarter of them undocumented.
LAUSD has been at the forefront of resistance to ICE since the start of Trump’s second term—developing sanctuary protocols, denying agents entry, and setting a standard other school districts across the country have looked to.
Federal agents have already walked up to the doors of elementary schools in the area demanding access to children. The principals turned them away.
With a unanimous vote, the LAUSD board declared that every vendor they do business with is now under review. Any company that materially supports or enables ICE’s mass detention, surveillance, or racial profiling operations gets cut.
The vote came after the district was found to still be doing business with a data management company linked to DHS.
Lupita Martinez of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights: “Our families and students deserve to know that LAUSD is not connected, even indirectly, to systems, companies, or vendors whose activities create fear, instability, or the perception of harm.”
THE SOUTH JUST CHANGED
While LA schools pull the plug on contracts linked to the regime’s abuses, Virginia is making history.
Earlier this month, the General Assembly passed legislation guaranteeing paid family and medical leave for nearly all workers in the state—up to 12 weeks of leave at 80% of wages, covering childbirth, serious illness, and caring for a sick family member.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger has committed to signing it in the coming weeks. That will make Virginia the first Southern state to guarantee this right, and the 14th state plus DC to do so. Democrats had passed similar bills twice before, but GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed them both.
Sen. Jennifer Boysko carried the bill. Her daughter was born premature and severely ill, lying in an ICU 20 miles from home. Her husband got two weeks of paid leave—and that was it. This law gives 3.2 million Virginia workers the guarantee that no family has to choose between being there and keeping their job.
TRUMP TRIED TWICE AND FAILED
While the Virginia legislature brought paid leave, a New England court delivered a win for renewable energy.
In August of last year, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued a stop-work order against Revolution Wind—a 704-megawatt wind farm off the Rhode Island coast that was nearly complete—citing national security.
Judge Royce Lamberth—a Reagan appointee—threw the order out, finding the regime failed to cite any factual basis and had been “vocal in criticizing offshore wind farms for reasons unrelated to national security.”
In December, the regime tried again with another stop-work order. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the project’s developer sued. Judge Lamberth blocked that too. The regime lost twice.
On March 13, Revolution Wind delivered power to New England’s electric grid for the first time—enough for 350,000 homes, at savings of $500 million a year. The contracts are under fixed prices, so electricity costs shouldn’t spike every time Trump starts a war.
Unable to kill it in court, the regime is spending nearly $1 billion in taxpayer funds to cancel leases on two other wind energy projects. Ted Kelly of the Environmental Defense Fund called it “an outrageous misuse of taxpayer dollars to prevent Americans from having clean, affordable power exactly when they need it most.”
When the first stop-work order landed, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said: “The law takes precedent over the political whims of one man.”
DEMOCRATS PULL TWO UPSETS
Trump voted by mail in Florida on Tuesday. By Tuesday night, the House district that contains Mar-a-Lago had flipped to the Democrats.
Emily Gregory—a small business owner—defeated Trump-backed Republican Jon Maples in Florida’s District 87, which Trump won by 9 points in 2024. The previous Republican won this seat by nearly 20 points.
In Tampa, Navy Veteran and union organizer Brian Nathan beat Republican Josie Tomkow for a state Senate seat, after being outspent nearly seven-to-one. Tomkow conceded last night.
Since Trump returned to the White House, Democrats have flipped 29 Republican-held state legislative seats. Republicans have flipped zero. DNC Chair Ken Martin said: “If Democrats can win in Trump’s backyard, we sure as hell can win anywhere across the country.”
Every election and court victory, every school board vote, every law signed in defiance of this regime is proof that the resistance isn’t just theoretical. It’s here. It’s organized. It’s winning.

I have two questions for you today.
What do you think about the fact that a Democrat just flipped Trump’s home district?
Thoughts on Los Angeles schools cutting ties with any businesses even remotely tied to ICE?
