Trump Is Failing And Far Weaker Today (New Video), Bill Gates Says Musk "Is Killing The World's Poorest Children"Katie Phang Joins Us Live Tomorrow At 1pm ET/Welcome New Subscribers!Morning all. I got together with the plucky, proud, patriotic paid subscribers of our wonderful community last night. A recording and transcript of my initial talk and the Q and A session is above. Get to it when you have the time and share with others you think would benefit from the discussion. Highlights From Our Discussion Last NightI still think the current dynamic of our politics is 1) As Trump keeps breaking things that will be hard if not impossible to repair we need to keep working with great urgency 2) He is failing, weaker, decaying and things are likely to get worse for him as the tariffs really kick in over the next few weeks. His public performances have become wilder, more incoherent, desperate and clownish - a sign that his struggles are getting to him. 3) We are getting stronger, our movement is learning and gaining strength, the circle of defiance is growing and I am incredibly grateful for all the work this community is putting in to mitigate the damage being done and win elections this year and next. And yes, congratulations on our big win in North Carolina! I am in the process of reworking our “actions” that we take together, and want to focus on these three in the coming weeks:
Spurred on by my recent conversations with Jane Kleeb and Rachel Janfaza we discussed the need for us to make voter registration a major new priority for our work together in the 2026 cycle. More on this, soon. We also talked about how elected Dems and the Party across the country are doing far more to engage voters now than is commonly understood. Town Halls have become a thing, in all 50 states, and we are seeing these kind of videos spread all across all social media becoming far more common (this one from Rep. Adam Smith of Washington): I talked about the Substack platform is changing and how Hopium itself will have to grow and evolve in the coming months. Expect a few Live events each week, a greater roster of friends and contributors, and even new merch! I also will be exploring ways to bring Hopium out into the physical world by making myself available to speak at more DC area events, host a few ourselves and perhaps do a national Hopium tour in the fall. Our next live event is tomorrow at 1pm with legal analyst and independent journalist Katie Phang. You can learn more how to join us live here, with the easiest way to just click on this link at 1pm ET tomorrow and you will join the party! Live links can always be found on our Events page. And finally, I reminded everyone that while Trump is increasing costs (pay more, get less!!!!) for you and your family, Hopium is lowering them - an annual paid subscription here is now 10% off through the end of May. Other Things We Are Tracking TodayBill Gates Accuses Elon Musk of Killing Children with USAID Cuts - From The Financial Times:
“I have said innumerable times publicly I think vaccine mandates are criminal" - meet Trump’s new Surgeon General Nominee, Casey Means, a “wellness influencer.” Trump Cabinet Secretaries Are On The Hill Today, And Of Course It Is Ugly - As I am going to press video has started to flow of Trumpian quislings struggling on the Hill this morning. Excited to share this remarkable performance from the the top law enforcement officer of the United States, Kash Patel, who admits that he is in fact not following the law right now: Ford is raising the price of 3 of its cars by $2,000 - From Reuters:
GOP senators hope to avoid Trump agenda from becoming a ‘train wreck’ - From The Hill:
The 8th AmendmentAs part of our Owning The Fourth campaign, we are reviewing one amendment to The Constitution each day. Today is May 8th so here is the 8th Amendment:
Our Campaigns And ActionsKeep self reporting all. So much going on across the country - thank you. Our campaigns and actions section is getting overhauled, but have two keep projects hope you will support today: 1 - Help Abigail Spanberger Win Virginia - Virginia will be one of the big battlegrounds of the November, 2025 elections and we have a great candidate for Governor, Abigail Spanberger. Watch my interview with Abigail, donate, volunteer, and learn more here. Given how many federal employees live in Virginia, this race is also now on the front lines of the Trump/Musk assault on the federal government. We’ve raised more than $91,000 so far towards our June 30th goal of $250,000 - thank you all. Let’s keep working it for Abigail! ![]() 2 - Support The Hopium House 7 - We’ve begun our work to help flip the House next year by supporting and shoring up the 7 newly-elected battleground House Dems we helped elect last year. Catch our interviews with Reps Derek Tran, Janelle Bynum and Tom Suozzi and give to all 7 through a single donation on our new ActBlue page. Learn more about this important effort here. We’ve already raised over $72,000 towards our $200,000 June 30th goal - thank you all! Keep working hard all. Proud to be in this fight with all of you - Simon |
