Hey there—I’m Scott. I write this every single day because I refuse to stop fighting—and something tells me you feel the same way.
Before you jump in, this weekend I’m trying to bring in 25 new paid subscribers to support our reporting and our campaign to flip Congress. I’d love for you to be one of them. Here’s 50% off for you to make it easier on your wallet:
Trump’s Brand Is Collapsing, His Poll Numbers Are Cratering, and Gov. Spanberger Just Capped Insulin At $35 A Month
Plus, the resistance stopped the GOP’s election scheme cold
|
The Trump regime is losing. Not eventually or hopefully. Right now, today, in ways they don’t want you to see—and this edition is full of proof.
Their noise is relentless and the spin never stops. They’re counting on us to feel too exhausted to notice. That’s their whole strategy. It isn’t working.
Hit the ❤️ like button and re-stack this edition right now—especially the story about Gov. Spanberger capping insulin at $35 a month. While the regime stages spectacles and blames everyone else for skyrocketing costs, Spanberger is saving lives. This story needs to reach everyone. Your share can help make sure it does.
The Dworkin Report runs on reader subscriptions and nothing else. No corporate checks. No billionaires. No advertiser telling us to go easy on Trump. The journalism in today’s edition—the kind that names names, shows receipts, and holds the powerful accountable—only exists because readers pay for it directly.
If you haven’t joined us as a paid subscriber yet, this is the moment to change that:
SPANBERGER CAPS INSULIN AT $35
 |
While the regime blames everyone else for the cost of living, Gov. Abigail Spanberger is actually doing something about it.
Virginia’s new Democratic governor signed a package of healthcare bills—capping the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 a month for 800,000 Virginians with diabetes.
The package also requires insurers to offer plans with caps on monthly prescription drug costs, and cracks down on “prior authorization” abuses. That’s the racket where insurance companies overrule doctors, making patients wait weeks for treatments their physicians ordered.
Every bill passed with bipartisan support. Every one rips money out of insurance company profits and puts it back where it belongs—in the people’s pockets.
“No Virginian should be rationing insulin because of what it costs at the pharmacy counter,” Spanberger said.
Trump swore he’d lower costs and he’s done nothing but raise them—Spanberger promised the same and delivered in less than four months.
TRUMP’S TERRIBLE POLLS
 |
In 2024, Trump stood in Pittsburgh and promised: “A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper.” Here’s how that's working out.
Just 25% of Americans think he’s fixed inflation, according to a recent Economist/YouGov poll. That’s worse than Biden ever did. Even the libertarian Cato Institute confirmed it.
Trump’s overall approval has fallen into George W. Bush territory. A CNN poll shows 77% of Americans—including most Republicans—say his policies made their cost of living worse. Our grocery bills agree.
For the first time in years, Democrats lead Republicans on cost of living and helping the middle class. Among Republicans under 45, economic approval has collapsed 23 points since January. That’s not a blip. That’s a verdict.
AUSTRALIA FIRES THE TRUMP BRAND
 |
David Young spent twenty years trying to get Donald Trump’s name on a skyscraper in Australia. He finally got the deal. It lasted three months.
Young, CEO of Altus Property Group, announced Tuesday the 91-story Trump International Hotel & Tower is dead—a six-star hotel, Michelin-starred restaurants, and apartments starting at $3.5 million. All of it. Gone.
He called the Trump brand “toxic to Australians” and told anyone who’d listen why: “With the Iran war and everything else, the Trump brand was increasingly unpopular in Australia.”
Developers around the world have been stripping the Trump name from buildings for years. Now Australia. Same conclusion, different continent: The Trump brand is a liability.
NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS OUTPLAY EVERYONE
 |
Republicans were scared of a face-off between Sen. Pete Ricketts and independent Dan Osborn in November. So, the GOP came up with a plan. They recruited a Trump-supporting pastor named William Forbes to run in the Democratic primary. If Forbes won, he could split the vote against Osborn in the general election.
The scheme was obvious, but Republicans assumed it was unstoppable. They couldn’t have been more wrong.
Cindy Burbank, a retired pharmacy technician, had other plans. She filed to run with one purpose: win the Democratic nomination and then step aside so Osborn could face Ricketts one-on-one. The GOP tried to remove her from the ballot, but the Nebraska Supreme Court kept her on. She won on Tuesday. The plot is over.
Osborn—a union steamfitter who finished 14 points ahead of Kamala Harris in 2024—outraised Sen. Ricketts in the first quarter, and they’re tied in the polls. Osborn put it plainly: “In America, a mechanic can beat a billionaire.” A retired pharmacy technician just made sure he gets the chance to prove it.
I’ve been in this fight since February 2016. Every day The Dworkin Report floods social media with the truth—punching holes through the MAGA propaganda machine, reaching millions of people who would never otherwise see it.
The Dworkin Report doesn’t just cover the fight—we organize it. Millions of congressional contacts over the last decade—real people picking up phones, sending emails, and showing up.
None of this exists without readers like you funding it directly. Join us as a paid subscriber today:

CHINA PLAYED HIM FOR THE CHUMP HE IS!
The ORANGE TURD imposed irrational TARIFFS - including on SOYBEANS, screwed US FARMERS...CHINA went elsewhere for SOY BEANS!
We were buying LEDs to replace CFLs for $1 EACH....fortunately, we bought CARTONS!
The ORANGE TURD imposed irrational TARIFFS!
So much for ENERGY EFFICIENCY!
The ORANGE TURD also eliminated the ENERGY STAR PROGRAM so you can't even buy ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES!
The WORLD is tired of STUPID!
YES! So are we!
When some BRAIN DEAD BOOB imposed TARIFFS, they were imposed on an island inhabited
by PENQUINS....have those TARIFFS been rescinded? There was also another country that has no trade with the US that was also targeted.
If the irrational purpose of TARIFFS was to encourage 'manufacturing' in the US, how successful has that lunacy been?
Let's always remember: The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 was a U.S. law that raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods to protect American industries during the Great Depression. However, it led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries and significantly decreased international trade, worsening the economic downturn.
My groceries are about $50 a bag — and this is healthy eating, not junk food! What is irritating, however, is the size of the package is smaller for the same price! No one is talking about shrinkflation but they should be! Everything is smaller, from packages of bacon to cereal to boxes of crackers. So while the cost is deceptively seeming to increase slowly, what we’re buying with the same price is becoming less and less!
Trump’s Brand Is Collapsing, His Poll Numbers…
Words we have been longing to hear! Thanks, Scott.
So are his body parts!
I love how easy it is to always be able to say what the resistance has done for me lately.
Can’t imagine how hard that must be for Trump supporters. Sorry not sorry.
Thanks for the good news, Scott. I’m smiling “ear to ear” as my mom would say!
Thank you, Scott, for providing an excellent to-do list. It takes a village.
Firstly, the Nebraska Hail Mary was a winner! Congrats to the team that beat the GOP at the ballot box. Groceries???? EVERYTHING is more expensive. I've been trying to buy locally but some things like cleaning supplies, paper towels and toilet paper I buy at Costco (which is better than some of the other big box stores. Ho hum...we are doing without some of the pricier items just because I think it is best to conserve right now.
You're so right to SAVE NOW! Who knows what mess TRUMP & MAGA have created.
We have RESCUE DOGS that are ALLERGIC TO EVERYTHING! Household cleaning products are solely BAKING SODA and VINEGAR! (CHLORINE BLEACH only as necessary.)
STOPPED buying PERFUMED DISHWASHING DETERGENT - never figured out why the perfumes - dishes don't smell better....my RESCUE DOGS sneezed when I used it and my hands itched.
PAPER PRODUCTS - always a challenge!
On some of those items, if you're careful, WALMART is cheaper, although I hate recommending.
Locally, we have a chain called MARKET BASKET that is consistently cheaper and offers several large packages that reduce PLASTIC. On PAPER TOWELS, we always buy those that have perforations that allow you to split a single sheet into smaller pieces (eliminating paper napkins). They also offer more than you need to know about TISSUES - SINGLE PLY, TWO PLY, THREE PLY.
I encourage everyone to subscribe to: Environmental Working Group (EWG) that offers an abundance of information regarding household products, FOOD and the ENVIRONMENT.

‘Dirty Dozen’ Guide Shows 95% of These Fruits and Veggies Tested Positive for Pesticides
https://www.commondreams.org/news/ewg-2024-dirty-dozen-pesticides
I love the news about collapsing poll numbers and clever maneuvers to get the right leaders on the ballot. But I’m very concerned about the lack of righteous anger around the demise of the Voting Rights Act. Where’s the energy for that? “If they come for me in the morning, they’ll come for you in the evening”. The stealing of votes affects us all. Poll numbers and names on ballots won’t matter if free and fair ballot access is denied.
Agreed! Plus I do not understand the Dems being so compliant about redistricting. So the voters voted for it in Virginia, their completely slanted Supreme Court said, 'no, you can't do that." And Dems just rolled over and said, ok, we won't do it. NO - JUST DO IT! That's what the GOP is doing in state after state. Yes, it's illegal. If they are cheating, Dems have to cheat back. Yes, it's revolting, but if we don't, they will completely overwhelm Dems in the midterms and cement Fascism. There will never be another real election if they 'pad' Congress with extra seats.
Funny thing, Scott - I’m literally on the road from CO to NE for my granddaughter’s graduation!!! I-80 straight across! I’ve supported Dan last go round and now again! I have to say, as a disappointed Dem ( I first registered as a Dem in 1972) I like we are seeing progressive Dems and Independents winning all across the country! Thx for covering 🙏🏽
The felon's pole numbers are crashing. Everything he touches turns to shit but he continues to rip us off and the GOP does nothing. His corrupt family and grifting is in full display and the GOP does nothing. WTF.

The weird and almost comical thing I have noticed in all my years of shopping is the jedi mind tricks with the packaging and pricing. They think we are fools! Sorry guys! But when you place a 1/2 pound of butter in a package way over there with a lesser price then a usual pound of butter but, um, still the same outrageous price, and even more, if you do the math, only the sticks are long and skinny and do not fit in my butter dish after all these years! Lol! The cereal boxes are so thin, flimsy, and tall, they collapse when you try to pour a bowl of cereal and don't fit in the cupboard because they are too tall. The bag of oranges are camouflaged in this orange netting and when you take them out they are green and half rotten on some sides. So, the consumer won't notice? Yeah! Right? Not buying some items anymore ought to give these corporations dummies a clue.
The cereal boxes are extremely noticeable!!!
And cost more, too!! They’re also doing the branding game too: “Giant”, “Mega”, “Family Size”.And you look at the toilet paper ! It all looks alike to me! I spend more time reading the spin on how many sheets and rolls and Sq Ft and totals. Ugh!

How about Louisiana? or Mississippi?
KENTUCKY:
Most of the $48 million of spending in Kentucky’s GOP primary for Senate has been by super PACs supporting Nate Morris and Andy Barr, which are bankrolled by a few billionaires and dark money groups.
OPEN SECRETS is a non-partisan organization that has published articles about DARK MONEY funding REDISTRICTING FIGHTS.
excerpts:
Joedy McCreary found one through-line: dark money from 501(c)(4) nonprofits. Free from donor-disclosure rules, these groups move large sums with little transparency and have helped turn state-by-state redistricting battles into nationalized, big-dollar fights bankrolled by tight networks of high spenders.
Take Virginia for example
Virginians for Fair Elections, the main organization backing the redistricting effort, reported $63.2 million in large cash contributions, defined as any single contribution or loan of at least $10,000, between Feb. 6 and April 24. Nearly 97% of that total came from five 501(c)(4)s.

The Billionaire Whose Ad Barrage Is Upending the Georgia Governor’s Race (The New York Times)

We’re reading about pharma lobbying, Bristol’s deal with a Chinese partner, and more (STAT News)
The 17 pharmaceutical companies anchoring TrumpRx, the White House’s new prescription drug-pricing program, poured more than $130 million into federal lobbying in 2025 — a nearly 23% surge that outpaced the broader industry as the plan was being shaped behind the scenes, according to OpenSecrets, the nonprofit that tracks campaign financing and lobbying.
What to know about states’ efforts to limit corporate donations in politics (The Associated Press)
The ruling has benefitted Democrats and Republicans. The campaign finance watchdog group OpenSecrets tracked more than $4 billion in outside political spending in the 2024 federal elections — almost 12 times as much as in 2008.
Poll: 72 percent say there’s too much money in American politics (The Hill)
Election spending in 2024 topped $14.8 billion, according to data from OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan nonprofit that tracks money in politics. This amount would be the second-highest level of election spending used in U.S. politics, with the $18 billion spent in 2020 being the highest amount spent.

“This is how the system works, and this is how industries try to wield their influence,” Brendan Glavin, director of insights at the nonpartisan nonprofit OpenSecrets, which tracks the flow of money in U.S. politics. “It’s about letting people know that they appreciate your support, and that there are people out there who, you know, are behind your position and that they are there to support them.”

Perhaps Wall Street could assist in dumping the Oval Office’s current occupant. All the blatant, flagrant pumping and dumping he’s doing has driven throngs of investors away from the markets — and that’s catastrophically bad for business.
My brand of coffee jumped from 9.99 to 18.99! And it’s just Folgers!
Oh no.That's nuts. Practically need a loan for olive oil here. Lucky you, brand name coffee. I used to grind beans and French press my coffee. Those were the days. ☕️
I drink Folgers too and it is actually on sale this week for $9.99 but I remember it being $5.99 before he did the Columbia tariff! Ass hole!
I buy from a local roaster because with the current price for coffee I can get better coffee for about the same price. I can support local businesses, too. Ask around. You might be pleasantly surprised.
My grocery bill for myself 2 cats went from 80 every week to over 100. Scott when is this GOP going to wake up, I think the general public is and will continue. When do we impeach get rid of the TRUMP and most of his staff, most seem afraid to disagree with him. This has got to stop soon.
Gov Spanberger! 👏 👏 👏
WHERE WE SHOP, ONE BAG USED TO BE, ON AVERAGE, ABOUT $15.00. NOW, ONE BAG ON AVERAGE IS ON AVERAGE IS $30.00. GAS HAS GONE UP $2.00 PER GALLON.WE'RE RETIRED AND ON FIXED INCOME. THING HAVE DEFINATELY MORE COSTLY SINCE THE REGIME TOOK OVER. TRUMP LIED DURING THE CAMPAIGN. HE LIED A LOT TO GET ELECTED. HE'S BROKEN MOST OF HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES.
My grocery bill is staggering and I’m single with a somewhat indulged pup. How families do it, I don’t know. Lots of ramen?
Each grocery trip now rivals how much I paid for my first CAR. The car was crappy, but got me to the grocery store and back, and I wasn’t paying hundreds for the groceries then. $50 was a big shop. I’ve paid more than $200 for lesser shops lately.
It's interesting that some 25% of Americans feel that Trump has solved the inflation issue. Does this mean that 25% of Americans are unable to perform simple math?
Or is it just endless, mindless, stupidity?
Gravity doesn't exist, the earth sucks . . .
The earth is still flat.
Unbelievable.
This would be amusing if not so pathetic.
Why Democrats have to impose CONSEQUENCES! https://brianbeutler.substack.com/p/the-failed-game-theory-of-democratic?r=dwrw5&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
I wanna talk about what Gov. Spanberger did in VA for diabetes sufferers. I think it is time that other blue state governors started taking on big pharma and healthcare in general. We also need governors to help bail out community hospitals that are on the verge of closing because the orange monster and his big terrible bill cut Medicaide to those in need. Once again, it is the rich punishing the poor because they are poor. They are poor mainly because they are paid peanuts to help pad profits for the parasites.
Also, can I mention that President Obama is out in TX and other states campaigning for progressive candidates. You know, the ones Chucky Schumer fears. President Obama helped get Mamdani elected NYC Mayor. Now he is greasy spoons in TX campaigning for James Talarico and Hinjosa who is running for governor. He knows the future of the Democratic Party and it is people like those.
Remember, this only works if we VOTE in the primary and general election. VOTE like democracy depends on it; it does.
Gov. Spanberger's actions are laudable, but this should be a NATIONAL PROGRAM - not another TRUMP GRIFT!
