As we begin another week of Trump’s chaos, propaganda, and lies, I’m glad to deliver today’s news brief for you. We’ve got stories about brave folks fighting corruption and standing up for healthcare, as well as a real potential peace plan for Ukraine. Plus, we call out an enormous corporate media failure from last week. Before we jump in: Here at The Dworkin Report we’ve delivered the truth for more than 520 days straight.

As I covered yesterday, Trump attended the annual Army-Navy football game, where he was “welcomed” outside by a large group of protesters. Well, inside the stadium wasn’t much better for him. The image above might look like Trump was releasing a bird, or possibly doing his own rendition from “Dirty Dancing”—but nope. It’s actually how he did the ceremonial coin flip before the game. Normally, you’re supposed to give the coin a toss so it lands right in front of you. Instead, Trump launched it behind the players, barely flipping the coin at all. Given his obvious mental decline, we couldn’t ignore how odd this was—even for Trump. WARNOCK SLAMS GOP FAILURES
In an interview aired yesterday, Dem Sen. Raphael Warnock pummeled Republicans over their massive cuts to our healthcare programs. When host Kristen Welker asked if he thought Congress could “reach a deal to prevent subsidies from spiking,” Warnock didn’t hold back. “You ought to ask my Republican colleagues,” he replied. “We have given them 13 opportunities this year to stop these premiums from doubling … and every single time they turned their backs on their own constituents.” Warnock added: “We can do better than this.” BULGARIANS FIGHT CORRUPTION
Inspiring. That is the word that keeps repeating in my head when I see what happened in Bulgaria recently. After weeks of protests against corruption and sweeping budget cuts, more than 100,000 people gathered in the capital of Sofia to demand the government’s resignation. There were also rallies held in dozens of other cities across the country.
And it worked. The Prime Minister ended up resigning, along with his entire government. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere. Just a thought. ZELENSKY PRESENTS REAL PEACE PLAN
As Ukrainian and US officials meet in Germany this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is pushing back on Trump’s so-called “peace deal”—a plan that was clearly designed by Russia. Zelensky is presenting his own proposal, in which Ukraine would agree not to join NATO—for now—in exchange for firm security guarantees. The proposal also refuses to surrender any territory that Ukraine controls. On Sunday, Zelensky made it clear: “The most important thing is that the plan be as fair as possible—first and foremost for Ukraine, because it was Russia that started this war.” Something that Republicans usually fail to grasp. He added: “Above all, it must be workable. The plan truly should not be just a piece of paper, but a meaningful step toward ending the war.” CBS GOES BEYOND SANEWASHING
Did you happen to catch the Erika Kirk town hall on CBS? I did, and I kind of wish I hadn’t. It may have been the most sanewashing I’ve ever seen on television in such a short amount of time. I’m not going to repeat their propaganda here, but I did want to point out one bright spot. The final question came from the same man who asked Charlie Kirk his very last question. He asked Erika Kirk to condemn Trump’s violent rhetoric, and her response exposed the whole thing as just more blatant lies and hypocrisy. Not only did she refuse to condemn the rhetoric, Kirk was seething over the question—because for one moment CBS’s pitiful attempt to sanewash her agenda backfired. We built this platform because corporate media has failed us like this over and over again. While they try to normalize extremism, we smash through it with our daily news briefs. And our Watchdog Coalition turns outrage into action, driving more than 550,000 contacts to Congress, and taking over social media to counter maga’s bogus narratives. We will never sanewash anything because we have no advertisers or billionaires to answer to. But that means we depend on this community to keep going strong, and right now we need all hands on deck.
