Help us keep it going: GOP BALLOT SCHEME SHUT DOWNNebraska 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 WAYThe 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 CHANGEDWhile 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 FAILEDWhile 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 UPSETSTrump 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. We’ve contacted Congress 665,000 times and generated billions of impressions monthly on social media because readers like you refused to quit. That’s a movement—and The Dworkin Report exists to cover it—reader-funded, ad-free, and accountable to nobody but you. Right now we need all hands on deck.

Scott 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? 🚨TWO URGENT ACTIONS TODAY 🚨Vote NO on SAVE Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-vote-no-on-the-save-act-to-protect-our-democracy/ 🚨 Tell your Reps to impeach Pam Bondi: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-impeach-attorney-general-pam-bondi/ A FEW COMMENTS AMONG MANY: These Florida wins are HUGE. And they are a clear sign of what’s to come. Yes yes yes a great win for Democrats... and a WOMAN !!! SUCK ON THAT ONE, 🍊 FAT BOI !! Maybe there is hope for some of the Americans who got pulled into the cult Ironic but delightful that a Dem flipped Donny's home district! And every school district should cut ties with businesses tied to ICE. Yay for Los Angeles! Doomscrolling hijacks a part of your brain called the amygdala to work overtime and triggers fight or flight stress response. Take a break and get yours reset here with Scott. Reading about these wins is giving me hope--my husband is running for the Ohio Statehouse in the 86th District. It's been held by the Republicans since 1967. 😑🤞 Best wishes to your husband!! Kudos to your husband and best wishes for a landslide victory!! Krista, hopefully the same happens for your husband in Ohio as what’s happening in Florida!!! After the RICO SCANDALS in which REPUBLICANS took BRIBES, bought failing power plants, CRUMBLING NUCLEAR PLANTS, cheated RATE PAYERS, it's hard to understand how OHIO votes for REPUBLICANS. Beyond that, after the TOXIC TRAIN CRASH, FIRST RESPONDERS were sent in with NO PROTECTIVE GEAR! NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE TOXIC GASES that spread! Massachusetts is NOT PERFECT, but there is information available about what is being transported and FIRST RESPONDERS hold PRACTICE SESSIONS to train to respond to similar accidents. In OHIO, there was no indication that FIRST RESPONDERS or the PUBLIC were ever protected! OHIO NEEDS TO DO BETTER! BEST WISHES FOR YOUR HUSBAND'S SUCCESS! As important as it is to document the wins over ICE and data centers, I appreciate a refreshing break like this one with other wins for climate change, elections and workers. Need to have wins across the board on all the issues at once but so hard to cover them all. You do a great job of mixing the topics Scott. I agree. Heartily! Wins against data centers are wins for the environment, or I like to see it that way. Climate change is such a HUGE issue, as is the widespread extinction rate, habitat loss, serious declines in biodiversity and human arrogance. As a big proponent of renewable energy, I have to say: had we invested in green jobs (which are abundant), a renewable energy infrastructure and less total reliance on fossil fuels, the horrors to our oil supply because of the Strait of Hormuz being blocked would be MUCH less dire. Instead, we ramped UP our dependence and trump is trying to eradicate what renewable energy resources we’ve established. OFFSHORE WIND is only part of the solution. In MASSACHUSETTS, there is a program called MASS SAVE that assists in providing ENERGY SAVING OPTIONS that amidst the POLITICAL HYSTERIA, lawmakers want to slash funding. Much like other states with OLD HOUSING STOCKS, you can drive around neighborhoods after SNOW and see homes with NO SNOW on their roofs due to LACK OF INSULATION. Beyond RENEWABLES, each of us can REDUCE OUR CONSUMPTION and reduce our ENERGY BILLS - even RENTERS! There are SIMPLE SOLUTIONS available. Massachusetts BUILDING CODES now mandate LEDs, among other things. We replaced 2 ALWAYS ON LIGHTS with LEDs and the bill dropped $5 - impressive return for a $2 investment! UNTIL RECENTLY, you could purchase LEDs from 1000BULBS for ~ $1 each. Then TRUMP imposed a TARIFF! We recently replaced CFLs and a few old BULBS with LEDs - our ENERGY CONSUMPTION was reduced. (You can still find BARGAIN PRICED LEDs.) TRUMP eliminated APPLIANCE ENERGY RATINGS that allowed consumers to purchase the most efficient appliances. Those ENERGY RATINGS are replaced elsewhere. All of our ELECTRONICS, including TV are on SURGE PROTECTORS - when they're OFF, they're not using ENERGY! CHINA is selling CHEAP SOLAR KITS with BATTERY BACKUP. Similar kits are enjoying widespread usage in EUROPE....being opposed in the U.S.! CHINA is reducing their FOSSIL FUEL CONSUMPTION, improving RAPID TRANSIT, improving their ENERGY GRID and embracing needed change, improving their environment. OFFSHORE WIND: FROM OCT 2025: OUR LOCAL PBS/NPR STATION OFFERED THIS EXPLANATION: 7 numbers that explain offshore wind's impact in New England excerpt: In Massachusetts alone, officials expect offshore wind to provide more than 50% of the state's power needs by 2050. Offshore wind is already a piece of New England's energy grid, albeit a very small one. But the region's first two utility-scale projects, Vineyard Wind and Revolution Wind, are under construction and could be fully online by early next year. https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/10/22/offshore-wind-numbers-massachusetts-connecticut-rhode-island-vineyard-revolution-clean-energy-jobs?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WBURToday_Editorial_102225&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fwww.wbur.org%2fnews%2f2025%2f10%2f22%2foffshore-wind-numbers-massachusetts-connecticut-rhode-island-vineyard-revolution-clean-energy-jobs&utm_id=153746&sfmc_id=24374920 NO ONE IS REPORTING THIS LOUISIANA WIN! SHARED TO EDUCATE AND INFORM THAT MAGA CAN BE DEFEATED! NOT A SOLICITATION FOR CONTRIBUTIONS! MAGA was just catastrophically blown out in a deep red Louisiana special election. The 2026 Blue Tsunami is REAL & ROLLING over blood red deep South. We come bearing good news from the Bayou: Louisiana is now IN PLAY. In a deep red MAGA country that voted for Trump by 13 points a Democrat didn’t just win: she won big —defeating a diehard MAGA Republican w/ Trump’s “total and complete” endorsement by 24 points. A 37 pt over-performance (I got chills typing that). The White House had to issue a statement that stated, “Don’t Be a Panican. We’re Winning” My name is Jamie Davis, I'm the Democrat running for US Senate in Louisiana. My family worked this Delta land when they were slaves and today my son and I farm the very same fields together but now we own them. |
