Great News That’s Terrible For Trump: Eight Wins, Starting With An Arrest
One detail from this week’s reading: ICE’s own sworn court filing says agents got the hotel David Streever listed with customs and went there looking for him. It was all over an angry email to the head of ICE, which the regime didn’t even dispute in court was protected free speech.

Great News That’s Terrible For Trump: Eight Wins, Starting With An ArrestYour weekend reminder that the fight is working
Thanks so much for joining me on this wonderful Saturday. Today, I’ve compiled eight wins that we covered over the last week. Most are losses for Trump and his accomplices that they are hoping to bury. You can help us ruin their weekend by restacking and liking this post before you read on. Also, we need all hands on deck for our campaign to flip Congress. So if you haven’t yet, join us as a paid subscriber today: Minnesota Arrested The AgentAbbott Tried To ShieldSuspended ICE agent Christian Castro was arrested in Minneapolis on September 16, after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott spent months blocking his return. Castro fired through a closed door, hitting a man inside, then claimed he’d been attacked with a broom and a snow shovel for roughly three minutes. City video shows the attack he described never happened. He faces state assault charges no president can pardon. Solar For All Is BackTrump appointee Judge Mary McElroy put $7 billion back into play to help cut power bills for lower-income families. She ruled the EPA broke the law when it killed Solar for All, whose grants were already awarded to help more than 900,000 households. Vermont And Washington SaidNo. DOJ Lost Again.Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas refused to hand over the state’s full voter list with birthdays, driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. Last week, Judge Mary Kay Lanthier threw out the regime’s lawsuit, finding no legal authority or factual basis. On Tuesday, a judge in Washington state tossed the regime’s case there, too. That’s 25 straight district court losses. Judges Ruled Against Trump’s SurpriseDeportationsThree appeals judges unanimously backed Judge Brian Murphy, affirming that the regime can’t deport people to countries they aren’t from without any real warning and a chance to say they’d be in danger. California Made Ordering A Ballot Grab AFelonyWhoever orders ballots seized before an election is certified in California now faces up to four years behind bars. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the law after Republican Sheriff Chad Bianco seized about 650,000 Riverside County ballots over a claimed counting error. The county’s elections chief put the real gap at 103 votes, on a measure that won there by more than 80,000. A Rochester Dad Told Off ICE And WonJudge Rudolph Contreras ordered ICE to back off David Streever, a dad from Rochester, New York, who sent the head of ICE a furious email. Five months later, two agents traveled more than 330 miles to his home with a “WARNING NOTICE” saying he could be prosecuted. In court, the regime never argued the email was a threat. Kentucky Just Erased $103 Million In MedicalDebtMore than $103 million in medical debt is already gone for over 46,000 Kentuckians, and letters are arriving now to let them know about it. Gov. Andy Beshear sent $2.5 million to a nonprofit that buys medical debt for pennies on the dollar and wipes it out. The full program is set to clear about $250 million for more than 130,000 people. Nobody had to apply. Delivery Workers Made DoorDash Pay $131.5MillionDoorDash is paying a record $131.5 million after New York City found it shortchanged more than 260,000 delivery workers. Those never paid get about triple what they were owed. Queens delivery worker Rosendo Tacam, who says DoorDash cut him off without paying his last week, was one of the first to complain. Wins like these never magically happen. They occur thanks to people like you who stand up and refuse to back down. After fighting Trump for more than a decade now, I can confidently say I have never seen him weaker. Not even close. Republicans are absolutely desperate, trying to cheat in every way they can. That’s why we must vote in numbers that are impossible to ignore and send a clear statement that MAGA is over. We are proudly independent, which allows us to do our relentless organizing on social media and work around the clock to make sure Trump is turned into a lame duck. All on top of our original investigations and reporting.

That ICE agent is due back in court on November 3, the same day as the midterms, and a Homeland Security statement calling the men involved violent criminals is still on its website.

They count on public fatigue, but constituent pressure is actively disrupting their playbook. Right now, leadership is scrambling to shut down votes and bury evidence to shield corrupt officials and backroom corporate giveaways.

COMMENTS:
We’re not asking you to feel hopeful. I’m asking you to stay in the fight. Thirty-eight days. The people in this edition didn’t get a speech first. They showed up tired and did it anyway. Let’s go win this!
Send this to one person who thinks the only news is the noise. Not a lecture. Just the list. Happy Saturday, fellow resisters!
Vote everyone, vote, vote, vote!
A recent post from a complaining fired ICE trainee re: his having to pay back the $50K he received to sign up put a wry smile on my face. I shouldn’t have basked in his pain but I couldn’t help myself. “Karma, buddy, karma,” was all I could think. Maybe people like him will learn to do a little research before taking an evil handout?
WOW!!!And this is exactly why voting in local elections is so important!
Medical debt being wiped out is a solid, REAL win 🙌🏻
Everyone needs to read these posts and not give up hope! Please read and share!
Inspirational post! TY
I felt good when Trump banned reporters from White House press, they stood together and did not cover his new helicopter pad, (probably illegal anyway) and some of China's visit.
Sorely tempted to send ICE a "furious email."
Good idea.
Let's see... what, pray tell, would happen if several million of us send "furious emails" to ICE.
I recently went to a lecture about democracy around the globe that said most authoritarian leaders are actually really popular (like 80% favor ability) and then saw that Trump is possibly down in the 20s in favorability. That gave me hope that we are an exception and can bring ourselves back sooner (hopefully in a month!).
VIKTOR ORBAN was previously popular, even spoke at CPAC and was promoted by CPAC.
I posted a comment about him being a DICTATOR and was immediately condemned by an uninformed MAGGOTS. WORMS TURN!
Check your voter registration and VOTE FIRST DAY OF EARLY VOTING IN YOUR STATE. We will be voting on October 22nd in Delaware, dressed in BLUE. 🇺🇸💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
These lists that Scott and his team give us for the weekend make it feel like this is a battle we can win. The momentum needs to stay strong as the five weeks ahead will get tougher. DonOld and his regime will throw everything in everywhere to slow down voting. Always remember that there are more of us than there are of them! Rosie the Riveter said "We Can Do This" and we can, together!
Flooding the SPINELESS MAGA with emails has forced them to HIDE!
The few 'town halls' held have been filled with angry voters.
Makes you wonder how deaf and blind these clowns are to ignore the consequences of their action/inaction. HEALTH CARE? SNAP CUTS? FEDERAL EMPLOYEE cuts that cause endless waits to resolve? That's MUSKRAT'S BOOBS & their MINDLESS FOLLY!
BIG BEAUTIFUL DISASTER and exploding DEFICIT!
I’m wondering if McDonalds is using the mystery meat that trumpy said he was releasing to lower cost. I haven’t seen any lower cost! Not that I would buy his mystery meat!
What a gruesome thought!
BRAINFRIED RRFK JR slashed INSPECTORS who couldn't figure out CYCLOSPORA or HANTA VIRUS on a cruise ship (spread by rodent feces), reports indicate that some of the 'BEEF' is old or contaminated.
Not sure we should risk consuming BEEF!
We'll see where this goes!
