America is waking up!
Rep. Ashley Hinson got heckled at her own town hall in Decorah after praising Donald Trump and the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed the House.

"An independent federal oversight agency has deemed at least some of President Trump’s mass firings of probationary period employees unlawful, creating a pathway for those employees to regain their jobs."
Oversight agency finds Trump’s federal worker firings unlawful, asks for some employees to be reinstated
The findings could have sweeping impacts for the tens of thousands of recently dismissed workers.

say it with me: voters hate this
Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico.
Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts!

Trump’s Own Pollster Just Hit Him with Very Bad News—and a Warning
A poll of swing-district voters is already showing heaps of warning signs for Republicans bent on helping billionaires. That was fast.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense.
This is a growing national security risk.

Two weeks from now the crew of a nuclear submarine are going to see this email and the subsequent one firing them all.
The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

So, now they're going after Ed Dept employees who attended mandated professional development DEI training which helped them accept & be kind to others of different backgrounds, religions & cultures.
Next, they'll go after teachers for being nice to their kids.

It has never been more important to support independent media outlets.
US democracy is facing an unprecedented assault on multiple fronts and too much of mainstream media has become deeply & dangerously compromised.

For all federal employees:
Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.
If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
