If there’s a toddler in your life, you know who Ms. Rachel is—her songs likely play in your house every day. Her real name is Rachel Accurso, a children’s entertainer with tens of millions of followers. Last week, she put on a bright pink suit, packed a suitcase with more than 500 letters from children locked in an immigration jail in Texas, and wheeled it into the Capitol. One letter, from a 7-year-old, read: “I cry a lot. I want to get out of here.” She walked those letters straight to lawmakers in both parties and sat down with Senator Andy Kim. Then she turned to CoreCivic, the company paid to run that jail, with a message as plain as it gets: stop hurting children. And it’s working. The petition she helped launch to shut the place down has topped 328,000 signatures, and people who never gave these children a thought are paying attention now—because when Ms. Rachel speaks, the country listens. JUDGE STOPS PAXTON
If you’ve ever chipped in five or ten dollars to a Democratic campaign, odds are you did it through ActBlue. Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general now running for Senate, tried to shut it down. Just five days after his opponent James Talarico raised a record $27 million through ActBlue, Paxton sued the platform, crying fraud. Paxton himself had raised barely $2 million in that same stretch—and never went after WinRed, the Republican version of ActBlue that processes contributions for his own campaign. US District Judge Richard Stearns saw right through it. He ordered Paxton to drop the case and blocked him from refiling it. He called Paxton’s bad faith “overwhelming.” The real reason for the lawsuit, the judge wrote plainly, was to choke off the money flowing to Paxton’s rival. ActBlue stays open. The small donations keep coming. And a judge just reminded one of the most sue-happy attorneys general in the country that giving a few dollars to someone you believe in is your right—not his to take away. JUDGE ORDERS HISTORY BACK INTO PARKS
The regime tried to erase the hard parts of the American story. In May 2025, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered the National Park Service to strip away exhibits about slavery, civil rights, women’s suffrage, Indigenous history, and climate change. Dozens of signs came down at parks across the country. On Friday, US District Judge Angel Kelley stopped it cold. She ordered every exhibit put back by July 3—and barred the regime from touching another display. The government, she wrote, was trying “to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen.” The regime’s response told you everything. Interior brushed off the judge as a “liberal activist” and said it would think about an appeal later—because this weekend it was busy hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn for Trump’s birthday. They wanted our history erased before America turns 250. Instead, every sign goes back up by July 3—slavery, civil rights, the vote, all of it. The white-out didn’t work. TRUMP’S NAME RIPPED OFF KENNEDY CENTER
The Kennedy Center in Washington was created by Congress to honor JFK after he was killed. Last December, the board of trustees Trump installed plastered his own name on the front of the building. Rep. Joyce Beatty sued. Late last month, US District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled the board had no right—only Congress can rename that building—and gave the regime until Friday to take the name down. The regime appealed. Two courts told them no that same afternoon. That evening, as workers raised the scaffolding, a giant rainbow appeared over the building—twelve days into Pride Month, at the very place where Trump had banned drag shows when he seized control. The regime begged for twelve more hours, but the workers came anyway. At 3 am they pulled Trump’s name off the marble, letter by letter, as a crowd sang “God Bless America.” Carolina, a retired kindergarten teacher, brought her dog to watch. By Saturday, the regime’s own director had to tell the court the job was done—the name is gone, inside and out. It lasted less than six months. WHAT’S NEXT
The regime’s betting on us getting tired. That’s the whole plan. Wear everyone down until folks stop paying attention, then do as they please and hope nobody notices. Your exhaustion is the point. But we never relent. We refuse to be worn down—and we don’t have to do it alone. Since November 2024, readers of this newsletter have contacted Congress 757,000 times. We put the truth in front of millions of people on social media every single day, reaching folks who’d never see it otherwise. Those aren’t just statistics. They’re amazing people, one simple act at a time, deciding that quitting isn’t an option. Keeping all of it going comes down to one thing: readers paying for it, because we don’t run ads or take a dime of corporate money. So here’s my ask: I need nine new paid subscribers today. Nine people who read this for free, who decide it’s worth the investment. If you’ve been meaning to do it, you’re one of the nine I’m looking for, and today’s the day: Then do one last thing—tap the ❤️ like button and re-stack today’s edition.

They tried to white it out and the courts said no. We’re not letting them erase us. I'm glad I am not the only one shedding happy tears when I hear how a judge tells this regime they WILL NOT white out our history! Our young people need to know our history - the good as well as the bad. We will never be erased, not ever! I enjoyed seeing the criminal's name taken down and LMAO when the tarp was erected so the thin-skinned convicted felon, rapist, grifter and deadbeat didn't see it. ActBlue: the fact that Talarico had donations of $27 million to the disgusting Paxton's $2 million gives me hope that we are on the verge of a Democratic senator being elected in November, and in Texas! There is hope. When I heard Trump’ name had been ordered by a judge to be removed, I thought “Hallelujah!” When I heard that a judge ordered the regime to restore every sign in the parks that had been removed and to do it by July 3, I was thrilled. When you told me Ken Paxton had been put in his place by the judge, blocked from refiling his grievance and called out for being petty and childish, I was delighted. And Ms. Rachel: I cried. We need 1,000 more Ms. Rachels to be able to obtain letters from every child in every detention center and have them freed. Core Civic should be made to pay damages and pay out of pocket for mental health therapy for them. They have made enough money to be able to afford it. Thank you Scott. You are a godsend!
