Democrats in Congress have decided to go on a nationwide blitz of town halls in districts controlled by Republicans, since Republicans are refusing to talk to their constituents. And the move couldn’t come at a better time for Democrats, as the latest polls show that the Democrats have a lower approval rating than at any other point in history. Both parties are getting hammered in polls, and Democrats have a chance to get the upper hand with these town halls.

Sympathy is in short supply today for angry and upset Trump voters that are getting exactly what he said he was going to do. The very same farmers that overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in the last 3 elections are now crying about how his tariffs are destroying their businesses, and some are even saying “we didn’t vote for this.” YES, you did, and we all tried to warn you. But their pains get spread around the entire country, so they aren’t as easy to dismiss.

A very confused Alina Habba said that it was “unthinkable” that a judge could overrule Donald Trump’s executive orders. During an appearance on Fox News this week, the alleged lawyer claimed that Trump has the authority to basically do whatever he wants via executive order, specifically with regards to invoking the Alien Enemies Act, and said that judges shouldn’t even be allowed to disagree with him.

Donald Trump is putting his own reputation on the line with his latest defense and plea to help Elon Musk. After Tesla suffered major losses in the market early this week, Trump got on Truth Social to beg Republicans to help Elon in any way they can (probably by purchasing Tesla vehicles or stock,) and then he claimed that “The Left” is engaging in “illegal” boycotts of Musk’s products. Boycotts are in no way illegal, and Musk is suffering from his own arrogance.

Donald Trump appeared to suffer another mental breakdown on Tuesday morning as he announced that he would be implementing an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum products coming from Canada, while then suggesting that the tariffs could be increased to as much as 50%. He THEN said that all of this would go away if Canada would just agree to become the 51st state of the United States, something that isn’t even possible.

Fox News is desperate to spin the stock market crash from Monday in any way they can, so they decided to tell America that this was actually a GOOD thing, with one host going as far as to say that he’s actually glad that this happened. There is no positive from this, and it isn’t just the market “correcting itself” – it was a massive crash caused by statements that Trump made over the weekend about a possible recession.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced immediate retaliatory tariffs against the United States following the tariffs that Trump put in place on Tuesday of this week. The Canadian tariffs will cover roughly $155 billion worth of goods coming from our country, and that’s just the beginning. Canada also has the ability to completely cut off most of our oil supply as well as the ability to cut power to millions of homes in the United States, which they are also threatening to do.

Donald Trump has now cancelled the 1st Amendment on college campuses across the country by proclaiming on Truth Social that the government would immediately stop funding any university that allowed an “illegal protest” to take place, and the students would be expelled and possibly deported if they participated in one of these “illegal” events. Protests in this country are absolutely not illegal, thanks to the 1stAmendment, and Trump is setting up a Constitutional showdown that could severely destroy Freedom of Speech in this country.

Minnesota Governor, and former Vice Presidential candidate, Tim Walz has told constituents in his state that if their Republican Representatives aren’t brave enough to talk to them, then he will be more than happy to come and talk. The NRCC has officially told Republicans to STOP doing town hall events, leaving voters with no way to air their grievances about the Party’s decisions. Walz is showing what leadership looks like, and this is EXACTLY what the entire Democratic Party needs to be doing right now.

Donald Trump has picked conspiracy-peddling podcaster Dan Bongino to serve as the Deputy Director of the FBI immediately under Kash Patel. Bongino has no FBI experience, but he has plenty of experience trying to “own the libs” on social media while also spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and COVID. His COVID lies were so bad that he was actually banned from YouTube several years ago, and now he brings his “I hate the left” mentality to the top law enforcement agency in the country.

A federal court ordered Donald Trump to immediately pause his pause on federal funding, but that order doesn’t appear to have had any impact on Trump’s decisions. The administration has continued to halt funding for National Institute of Health’s medical research development, meaning that new, potentially life-saving treatments are no longer being funded. This decision along could cost countless lives across the globe.

A hunting pal of Donald Trump, Jr. has been installed as the acting deputy commissioner for human foods at the FDA. The man, Kyle Diamantas, has been a hunting partner of Junior for years, and his friendship is being rewarded with a position that he is grossly unqualified to hold. Diamantas is also a lawyer who has spent his career representing major food companies – the same companies he’ll now be “trusted” to regulate.

Donald Trump appeared to lose his mind this week in a post on Truth Social where he threatened to start suing people who write mean books about him. He then went a step further and suggested that he may start suing any writer or commentator that talks bad about him, and THEN went on to suggest that maybe he’ll change libel laws to make that easier to do. This is fascism at work.

The Trump administration has now lost 4 separate court battles in just two short days this week on issues ranging from his unconstitutional order on birthright citizenship to his funding freeze for the government. On Tuesday, the fourth loss came when a judge ruled that the sections on “Protecting Women” that had been removed from the CDC and FDA websites must be restored. The administration had removed those sections for no reason other than they don’t care about women

The Republican attorney general for the state of Missouri has filed a lawsuit against Starbucks for refusing to drop their “DEI” programs, but in his announcement of the lawsuit, he may have screwed his case entirely. The AG, Andrew Bailey, complained that the company had become “more female and less white,” which could easily be used by Starbucks to get lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that it was rooted in pure racism, not in policy or legal matters.

Elon Musk is claiming that there is so much fraud in entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Welfare that it dwarfs ALL of the combined fraud from everywhere else. So far, he has provided NO evidence to back up these claims, and he’s even admitted that he isn’t sure if what he is saying is true. But true or not, this will be used as justification to destroy these social safety net programs and send millions of people into dire situations.
