Saturday’s Great News That’s Horrible for Musk and Trump
Onward!
Today marks a historic moment, with more than 1,200 “Hands Off!” protests being held all across America. It’s shaping up to be the largest day of anti-Trump demonstrations this year. We’ll cover it tomorrow, but for now I’m glad to share more good news with you today.
Let’s start with fmr. President Barack Obama, who blasted Republican hypocrisy during a speech at a Hamilton College event. “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps,” Obama said. “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me or a whole bunch of my predecessors.”
Obama also offered some much-needed comfort and hope, reminding us all that even in turbulent times, we have the power to steer the course of our destiny. “History zigs and zags and there are times of conflict and there are times of stupidity and there are times of danger,” he said. “Don’t get discouraged … I know it’s a little crazy right now, but we’re going to be OK.”
Fmr. VP Kamala Harris echoed this sentiment at a separate event, saying: “Each day in the last few months understandably creates a sense of fear … We can’t go out there and do battle if we don’t take care of ourselves and each other … I’ll see you out there. I’m not going anywhere.”
In other news, Tesla’s stock continued to nosedive yesterday, dropping 12% for the day and plummeting 38% since the start of the year. Analysts point to growing protests against Musk as a major reason for the company’s tumbling stock.
Meanwhile, Trump sparked more GOP infighting by deciding to support remote voting for House Reps who are new parents. Speaker Mike Johnson, who has firmly opposed it, will likely buckle and act like this was his plan all along. The fractures in the Republican Party are getting bigger by the day.
In the courts, a federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to return Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia, from a prison in El Salvador. The administration said deporting Abrego Garcia was an “administrative error.” Give me a break.
Another federal judge says the Trump Administration violated a court order by delaying FEMA grants, and ordered the funds be released immediately.
The Democratic Party has launched an initiative called “The People’s Cabinet,” bringing together former heads of key government agencies to push back against Trump, and counteract his destructive policies.
Dem Sen. Adam Schiff and Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin scheduled a “shadow hearing” with a fmr. DoJ official—who resigned in protest of the attempt to drop charges against Eric Adams. Schiff said: “The Trump Administration is destroying the rule of law. Republicans in Congress won't hold them accountable. So Rep. Raskin and I will.”
As Obama said: “It is up to all of us to fix this … The most important office in this democracy is the citizen.”
Obama is spot-on. That’s why The Dworkin Report is relentlessly fighting back against Trump’s lies and propaganda—cutting through the nonsense to deliver the truth. We are proudly independent, pro-democracy journalists, who have been working tirelessly against Trump for 9 years. And unlike corporate media, we’ll never kiss the ring, or bow down to this wannabe-dictator.
Through our activism arm—The Watchdog Coalition—we’ve sent more than 256,000 letters to Congress, and made countless calls to defend Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Recently, someone made the comment to me that both TRUMP & ELON MUSK are bankrupt.
Jig Saw Puzzles come together with patience!
Think about it! TRUMP is forever selling CRYPTO SCAMS & other worthless grifts. His bank account & financial dealings with CHINA have never been questioned or explained. RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS bailed TRUMP out of BANKRUPTCY & total collapse, paid overpriced amounts for real estate....has TRUMP'S DEBT come due? Sanctions on RUSSIA removed.
Craig Unger - House Of Trump, House Of Putin: How Vladimir Putin And The Russian Mafia Helped Put Donald Trump In The White House
Random House presents the audiobook edition of House of Trump, House of Putin by Craig Unger, read by Jason Culp.
House of Trump, House of Putin offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House.
It is a chilling story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trump’s inauguration as president of the United States. That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putin’s long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that he and his hand-selected group of oligarchs and associates had ensnared Trump in, starting more than twenty years ago with the massive bailout of a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino failures in Atlantic City. This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence.
To most, it will be a hair-raising revelation that the Cold War did not end in 1991—that it merely evolved, with Trump’s apartments offering the perfect vehicle for billions of dollars to leave the collapsing Soviet Union. In House of Trump, House of Putin, Craig Unger methodically traces the deep-rooted alliance between the highest echelons of American political operatives and the biggest players in the frightening underworld of the Russian Mafia. He traces Donald Trump’s sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to leader of the free world. He traces Russia’s phoenixlike rise from the ashes of the post–Cold War Soviet Union as well as its ceaseless covert efforts to retaliate against the West and reclaim its status as a global superpower.
Without Trump, Russia would have lacked a key component in its attempts to return to imperial greatness. Without Russia, Trump would not be president. This essential book is crucial to understanding the real powers at play in the shadows of today’s world.

Craig Unger: Trump Won’t Betray Putin After 40 Years of Russian Money
Alexander Price/Euro Maidan Press
excerpt:
Ever wonder why a US president would consistently align with Russian interests for decades? Investigative journalist Craig Unger has spent over ten years untangling the web of connections between Donald Trump, Russian money, and the Kremlin.
Since Trump’s return to office in January 2025, Politico has documented 29 instances where his positions aligned with Putin’s in his first month alone. But according to Unger, this pattern started long before the presidency – in Trump Tower, 1984, with a Russian businessman carrying $6 million in cash.
Against the backdrop of Trump’s rapprochement with Putin and attempts to strong-arm Ukraine into stopping resistance to the Russian invasion, Euromaidan Press writer Alexander Price spoke with Unger at the 2025 Munich Security Conference to make sense of repeated media claims that Trump is a Russian asset.
The latest one includes a Facebook post by former Kazakh intelligence chief Alnur Mussayev, who stated on 21 February 2025 that the Soviet KGB recruited Trump as an asset codenamed “Krasnov” in the 1980s – a claim reported by The Mirror (UK). However, reports about the American president’s ties to the Kremlin already circulated during his first presidency.
The Guardian reported that Czech intelligence services targeted Trump in the late 1980s following his 1977 marriage to his first wife, Ivana Zelníčková. British intelligence also warned the US of Trump’s contacts with Russia in 2015.
Unger brings rare expertise to this topic as the former deputy editor of The New York Observer and editor-in-chief of Boston magazine. His books include the bestselling “House of Bush, House of Saud” (2004), followed by two deeply researched works on Trump’s Russian ties: “House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia” (2018) and “American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump” (2021).

NAZI MUSK's finances are obscured.
MUSKRAT invested in the WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT ELECTION because he has a LAWSUIT PENDING against WISCONSIN & needed SCHLAMAGAGOOGLE'S VOTE! Was his violations of ELECTION FRAUD LAWS worth his investment?
If NAZI MUSK is so wealthy, why the desperation to protect TESLA'S FAILURES?
NAZI MUSK destroyed every agency that was investigating him.
What's his real connection to CHINA? A self-admitted DRUG ADDICT, no NATIONAL SECURITY CLEARANCE, sharing information with CHINA, RUSSIA & who knows who else.
REMEMBER MICHAEL WHITAKER DID HIS JOB!
When SPACE X exploded of the Caribbean, flights were diverted, debris spewed & lots of property damage. MICHAEL WHITAKER did his job, fined SPACE X & grounded flights - reasonable & appropriate actions!
NAZI MUSK drove him out - to be replaced by MAGA CLOWN SEAN DUFFY who can't figure out how planes fly, where his 9 kids came from or why AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS are needed.
SEAN DUFFY ignored the most recent SPACE X EXPLOSION...who's gonna clean up MUSK's DEBRIS?
Note that RUDY GHOULiani created a reputation based on ORGANIZED CRIME prosecution....why did he ignore the RUSSIAN MAFIA?
