Trump's New Epstein Scandal, JD Vance Booed, Musk Defects, and More Great News Weeding through maga's lies to bring you the truth Scott Dworkin Jul 8 While the Trump regime tries to ruin our week by spreading lies about trade deals, Epstein, and more, I’m glad to have another edition of Great News for you today.

One of the protesters yelled: “get the hell out of San Diego, a**hole.” Thousands joined a demonstration in Los Angeles called the “Run Against ICE Resistance Relay.” Hundreds of runners took part in the 15-mile route, passing by Home Depot and other locations where there have been ICE raids. Participants then held a rally demanding that the Trump regime stop terrorizing communities. Fans for the Major League Soccer team LA Galaxy raised a large banner before a game on the Fourth of July, that read: “Fight Ignorance, Not Immigrants.” Above that, attendees raised an even bigger banner which showed a map of the US, while celebrating immigrants and Medal of Honor recipient Roy Benavidez. Fans also walked out early and gathered outside the stadium—singing and chanting against ICE. Elon Musk’s new political party just filed official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. Musk named it the “America Party,” which seems to be a ploy to fool maga voters. Trump is furious about it, rightfully worried that this may split the GOP. Speaking of Musk, his company Tesla reported its biggest-ever decline in sales—down 13.5% from the same quarter in 2024. He should’ve never gone all in on maga. In other news, the Trump regime all of a sudden has no more information regarding Jeffrey Epstein. They claim there’s no “client list,” no mystery behind his death, and nothing more to learn. So it’s either a massive coverup, or they’ve just been lying about it the whole time. I think it’s both. When I was investigating Epstein starting in 2016, there were already massive troves of documents publicly available—testimony, phone logs, etc. So the real question isn’t whether there is an Epstein “client list.” It's whether there’s evidence tying rich and powerful people to Epstein. And that answer has always been yes. Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the Trump regime for a provision in the big evil bill that would prevent their centers from receiving Medicaid reimbursements. The federal judge overseeing the case blocked that provision from taking effect, for now. Dem Sen. Tina Smith slammed the big evil bill, saying: “17 million people’s health insurance is not waste. If you’re looking for frauds, look at all the Republicans who promised not to cut Medicaid but did it anyway.” Exactly. And Dem Sen. Cory Booker hit the nail on the head with this statement: “We must turn this disappointment and anger into work to protect the millions of Americans who this bill will harm.” Booker is right, and that’s why our relentless journalism and nonstop advocacy are more important than ever before.
