Last week, New York City secured a record $131.5 million settlement from DoorDash — the largest worker settlement in NYC history, and the largest delivery worker settlement in the history of any American city. More than $115 million is heading straight back to delivery workers who were underpaid, paid late, or not paid at all.
DoorDash failed to pay over 260,000 delivery workers in New York City what they were due. That’s unacceptable.
Greedy algorithms and unfair business practices have no place in our city. The Mayor’s administration is holding up its promise to deliver for working people: City Hall will not stand by as mega-corporations rip off their workers and amass record profits.
Working people are what keep our city moving, and the full weight of our movement is on their side.
Mayor Mamdani is committed to fighting for workers' rights, even when that means going up against corporate greed. Under his leadership, workers in our city – no matter their job or title – will have a relentless advocate in their corner. They can expect that wages will be paid on time, workplace violations will be addressed, and corporations will be held to account for unfair practices.
Together, we’re building a New Era for New York where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
In solidarity,
Team Zohran
Before you go… Big money interests bet against Zohran and his vision for working people last cycle. Now those same insiders see a government rooting out corporate greed and delivering for working people. The next time we're on the ballot, we don't expect them to spend less. So we can't wait to get ready. Our campaign is preparing early and building a team that is ready to take on the challenges ahead. If your budget allows, chip in $10 or anything you can spare to make sure we're ready: |

Tomorrow’s first investigation follows the money behind Ken Paxton’s Senate run to a single Texas company, and to the man hosting his fundraiser. If you want your neighbor to have these receipts before Election Day, upgrade to a Founding Member, or send a gift subscription to someone who needs to see them.

Thanks so much for joining me. I’ve got some great news of my own for you today.
For weeks now, we’ve been investigating the campaign finance reports of Republicans running for the Senate, one check at a time. Tomorrow, the first of twelve reports goes out. Most of what we found has never been reported anywhere. Having been in campaigns for decades, and personally filing hundreds of federal campaign reports—we know how to weed through it all.
Here’s how this works: We dig it up, then we put it in front of millions of people. Next, we provide the tools to turn it into letters that land on your senators’ and reps’ desks—more than 870,000 of them since November 2024. Meanwhile, our social media Watchdog Coalition punches through MAGA propaganda with our reports, generating billions of impressions per month, reaching millions every day.
Paid subscribers are the only thing that keeps this engine running. We need 27 more today to help fund our reporting, organizing and our investigations into GOP Senate campaigns over the next month. I hope you’ll become one of them.
And don’t forget to like and restack this post before you go! Let’s jump in.

Last fall, Trump’s prosecutors in Chicago tried to make felons of six people who protested outside an ICE facility—among them a congressional candidate and a village trustee. The grand jury, the everyday citizens who decide whether to charge someone, said no. A second try went nowhere. Then US Attorney Andrew Boutros went in and talked to the grand jurors himself, and the third try got charges.
Every charge is gone now, dismissed for good. Last week the lead prosecutor, Sheri Mecklenburg, retired “under protest,” writing that Boutros personally directed the felony prosecution “over my objection.”
The DOJ calls her claim “false.” So I read the regime’s own court papers. An August brief with Boutros’s name on it admits “mistakes were made” and says “the United States Attorney made the local decision to charge.” Mecklenburg’s filing says she went back to the grand jury only after “the instruction to do so from the U.S. Attorney.” She admits she “should not have vouched” for the case. The DOJ can argue about whether she objected. Its own brief already says whose call the felony was.
On Thursday, the judge hears arguments on punishing the prosecutors and bringing in an outside investigator. Mecklenburg wants to have a say.
The regime tried to make an example of six protesters. It made an example of itself.

E.L.A., as court papers call him, came to America alone at 16 and asked for asylum. A court settlement says young people like him can’t be deported while their asylum case is still open.
The regime deported him to El Salvador anyway this spring. It later admitted he was protected and brought him back in August. Less than four weeks later, it put him on a plane to El Salvador again. His lawyers say ICE left him at the airport “dressed in a uniform issued by the detention center.”
The regime’s own paperwork shows how it happened. ICE had just ordered its officers to check their records before deporting people who might be protected. Days later, a supervisor had the note saying E.L.A. was protected removed from his file, because his case was supposedly closed. The regime later told the judge his case “has not been closed.”
Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Trump appointee, demanded to know: “Who was responsible for the decision to place ELA on a plane to San Salvador?”
On Friday, she ruled against Trump’s regime. She held it in contempt for breaking her orders. It has to bring him back if he wants to come, and return what it took from him. And it can never sneak him out again: any new attempt to deport him means warning the court a week ahead.
The regime called it “communication errors.” Gallagher called it contempt.

For two years, an election-denial group called United Sovereign Americans told a federal court that Colorado’s voter rolls were full of errors. It warned the state would run its 2026 election “under the same inaccurate and flawed conditions.” Their only proof was numbers they added up themselves.
On September 21, US District Judge Regina Rodriguez tossed the case. She found the complaint to be “completely devoid of factual allegations” on how Colorado actually cleans up its rolls—something federal law asks states to do. She called the claims “threadbare recitals,” noting the group’s numbers might be counting the same votes twice. Its own complaint even conceded that it “could be a troublesome burden” proving it had any right to sue.
That’s the MAGA play now. File early so they can plant doubt about the count before a single ballot is even cast—then cry fraud later. This group keeps losing. It has also struck out in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Texas. And it’s not just fringe groups. Even the Justice Department went after Colorado’s voter rolls, demanding voters’ private information, and lost. It’s lost the same fight all over the country. As Washington’s attorney general, Nick Brown, put it: “Trump’s DOJ is now 0 for 25 nationwide.”
Judge Rodriguez gave the election deniers until October 8 to find some facts. They’ve had two years.

Trump wanted one more House seat out of Missouri: Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s in Kansas City, which he’s held since 2005. So last year Republicans split the city three ways and stretched his district nearly 200 miles into rural Missouri.
Missourians didn’t take it. A group called People Not Politicians gathered more than 300,000 signatures to force a statewide vote on the new map. On September 3, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the gerrymander “never took effect.” In Cleaver’s words, “the people fought back and won.”
Three times this month, the US Supreme Court refused to let Missouri Republicans use their map anyway, and Friday’s ruling came without a single noted dissent. “The election is not merely upcoming; it has already started,” the justices wrote. Switching now “would usher in electoral chaos.”
One of the Republicans who sued to force the new map was state Sen. Rick Brattin, Trump’s pick to run against Cleaver. He fumed that the state’s judges were “doing whatever the hell they want to do.” Now he runs in the district Cleaver has carried with at least 60% in each of his last two races.
The seat Trump had them build for him? Gone.

Fifteen races moved our way on Friday. Here’s the math that decides the majority.
Cook moved 15 races toward Democrats. On Friday, the Cook Political Report shifted 15 House races, every one of them in our direction. Its verdict: “Republicans are on track to lose their House majority this November.” Cook now favors Democrats in 208 races and Republicans in 205.
The toss-ups break our way. That leaves 22 true toss-ups. Republicans hold 16 of them. Democrats hold six. Democrats need 10 of the 22 to reach 218. Republicans need 13. Cook expects history to repeat. “Typically, in midterm cycles the party out of power wins the majority of Toss Up races, which is our expectation this November.” Even an even split, Cook says, leaves Democrats “with 219 seats.”
Trump is dragging his own people down. The fight is almost entirely in districts Trump won, and Cook says “the president is now deeply underwater,” meaning far more voters disapprove of him than approve, “and is dragging down Republican House members.” Asked which party they want running Congress, voters favor Democrats by 8.1 points in Nate Silver’s average, up from 6.7 when September started.
His gerrymanders are backfiring. On paper, the new maps could have netted Republicans as many as 10 seats. In mid-September, Decision Desk HQ’s forecast had Democrats gaining an average of two seats across the nine states that redrew. Texas Republicans targeted five Democratic seats and were “not even quite averaging a net gain of two.” In North Carolina, Democrats were “averaging about a one-seat gain” despite a map drawn to oust Rep. Don Davis.
Missouri took another seat off their board. The Kansas City district Republicans carved up is back in one piece for November, and Cleaver runs on home turf.
Their cash didn’t buy them a lead. Cook says Republicans are losing ground despite “a massive reserve of cash.” Money will continue to pour into red-leaning toss-ups in October, as everyone chases undecided voters.
The Bottom Line: Democrats need a net gain of three seats. Cook projects five to 15. Decision Desk gives Democrats a 72% chance of winning the House. Democrats lead nationally by eight points, and Trump’s Missouri grab is dead. Republicans need 13 of 22 toss-ups just to survive. Election Day is November 3.
We have 36 days until the midterms, and I don’t plan to waste one of them.
No one at The Dworkin Report has to ask permission to do any of this. No billionaire can threaten to pull our funding or kill a story—because everything we do is funded by this amazing community. And we intend to keep it that way.

It is Monday morning, and while the House of Representatives remains on an extended recess, the fallout from last week’s federal deadlines and legislative maneuvers is escalating. Congressional staff are currently in their home districts, which means constituent mail is being heavily monitored to gauge local priorities before lawmakers return to DC.
If you have three minutes this morning, here are seven active campaigns where you can apply direct, fact-based pressure on your lawmakers right now:
Force a Vote to Impeach Pete Hegseth

JUST OF FEW OF MANY COMMMENTS:
Dear Scott: I live in Connecticut. My Senators and Representative are already on board with every one of your suggestions Should I write to Congress people in red states? WHY? Since they know damn well that my views simply CANNOT AFFECT THEM, they would pay ZERO ATTENTION to anything from me. Better to, at least, tell my Congress people that I support what they are doing.
That is a great question. Even when your representatives are already on board, constituent messages are logged and tallied. High numbers on an issue give them the ammunition they need to show their colleagues—and the media—that there is massive, organized public demand. It strengthens their position when they fight for these issues in committee.
All letters sent. What another depressing day!
It can definitely feel overwhelming some days, but taking action is the best way to push back against the despair. Thank you for sending those letters!
Tomorrow we start following the checks in five Senate races. First stop is Paxton. If you’ve been waiting for the receipts, that’s the one.
Hmmm...how did PAXTON afford all of those expensive properties on his salary?
How come TEXAS VOTERS don't demand better?
Please follow the checks in Hope Florida scandal-enabler Ashley Moody’s race !
she has been added!
