Ossoff Roasts Vance, Crow vs. Hegseth, Fed Board Member Defies Trump—The Resistance is Everywhere As it should be Scott Dworkin Aug 22 As we wrap up another week of Trump’s chaos, I’m glad to have more great news for you today. For nearly a decade, I’ve never bowed to Trump. And there’s no way I’m starting now. The Dworkin Report is a reader-powered battering ram, built to smash through the Trump regime’s propaganda and lies. No ads. No billionaire bosses. No corporate influence. Just fearless reporting that mobilizes the resistance. Help fuel our movement, by joining us as a paid subscriber today: OSSOFF SLAMS VANCE JD Vance went to Georgia yesterday, as part of his tour to try and rebrand the big evil bill. But Georgia’s Dem Senator Jon Ossoff isn’t having it. Ossoff said Vance’s “legacy forever now is casting the decisive vote to throw millions of Americans off health care, throw seniors out of their nursing home beds, all to serve the wealthiest and most powerful people in the country.” He added that Vance “has zero credibility ... and the damage control he's trying to do in Georgia this week is going to fall flat.” NO BULLIES Trump is once again trying to force someone out of a job. This time it’s Fed Governor Dr. Lisa Cook, who the Trump regime says “potentially” committed mortgage fraud. If this line of attack sounds similar, it’s exactly how they’re going after NY AG Letitia James. And just like James, Dr. Cook made it clear she’s not backing down: “I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position.” CROW HUMILIATES MAGA “WARRIORS” Dem Rep. Jason Crow is a retired Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, who still works out all the time. When he saw Robert Kennedy and Pete Hegseth doing sloppy pull-ups, he decided to show them how it’s actually done. Crow can be seen above in the two images on the left. Kennedy and Hegseth are on the right. “This is how you do pull-ups Pete Hegseth,” Crow said. “All the way up. All the way down. Slow and controlled. Good luck finding your warrior ethos…” Crow has been an outspoken critic of Hegseth for some time now—repeatedly calling on him to resign, and comparing his policies to ISIS and al Qaeda. No lies detected. NO JOB FOR YOU A federal judge ruled yesterday that Trump sycophant Alina Habba has been “unlawfully” acting as US attorney in New Jersey since July 1st. The judge said everything Habba has done since then might be “declared void,” and ruled that she can’t participate in any more prosecutions. Another reminder Trump hires the absolute worst people. SHUT IT DOWN A judge ordered that the concentration camp in the Florida Everglades must be shut down within the next 60 days. They have already started to transfer folks out, and are not allowed to add any more detainees. Everyone behind this failed PR stunt of a concentration camp should be arrested. I’m thankful for the tribes and organizations who took on this abomination—and won. EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN Today, the DoJ will begin handing over some of the Epstein files to Congress. Not good enough. They’re only sharing what they want, not what we need—which is all of the files, and all of the evidence, released immediately. CALIFORNIA STRIKES BACK After Texas lawmakers moved forward with Trump’s plan to steal US House seats, California hit back yesterday—putting Prop 50 on the November 2025 ballot. If successful, it would redraw California’s congressional map and cancel out the damage. This is the kind of fight Democrats need to put up at a constant. And it’s exactly how I’ve been fighting Trump for almost ten years now. I ran an enormous impeachment campaign against him, helped uncover his Russian ties, called out his Covid lies, and so much more. I run one of the largest social media operations against the regime, and our massive Contact Congress initiative has already reached lawmakers more than half a million times since November. We’ve also delivered news briefs every single day for more than a year now. The Dworkin Report is a nonsense-free news outfit—no advertisers, and no billionaire bosses.

WIMP RFK JR is brain dead...maybe long term HEROIN ADDICTION or the BRAIN WORM or MERCURY POISONING....remember RFK JR's stupidity? Grandchildren swimming in POND contaminnated with SEWAGE? Other antics too stupid to enumerate! ! And the incompetent DRUNK HEGSETH who can't even get people to work with him?  CHILDLESS CAT LADY CLOWN, always on vacation, JD VANCE? THIEL MISFIT!  EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN The more information that's revealed, the more RUSSIAN involvement is disclosed. This is a NATIONAL SECURITY & INTELLLIGENCE ISSUE that must be publicly disclosed.  TRUMP's allegience has never been to the U.S. in spite of phony proclamations - he gathers his advice from PUTIN. We watched as TWICE TRUMP publicly revealed TOP SECRET INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION to RUSSIANS that likely got people killed. What has TRUMP revealed in unrecorded conversations with PUTIN?  BRAIN DEAD DICTATOR TRUMP has authorized NATIONAL GUARD in D.C. to be ARMED - what could go wrong?  There was a report that TUBERCULOSIS & other diseases are spreading in UNSANITARY DETENTION FACILITIES. "INMATES" are forced to drink waater from toilets covered in feces.  Not only is this a violation of law & simple humanaity, but it also risks spreading diseases to others.  THIS IS NOT AMERICA!  Thank you to all who post, protest, send letters & WORK FOR DEMOCRACY!  (I share your comments without your names to inspire others) COMMON DREAMS posted this article by BILL MCKIBBEN that needs to stand alone:  Trump's War on Clean Energy Could Be His Downfall... If the Dems Exploit It https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/trump-energy-prices?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=084b6f5f04-Top+News%3A+Wed.+8%2F20%2F25+w%2F+fundraiser&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-5cab4589e1-600713157 As most are aware, CHINA is promoting CHEAP CLEAN ENERGY & their economy is prospering while the ORANGE DOLT wallows in DIRTY ENERGY $$$.  I am a firm believer: REDUCE YOUR CONSUMPTION!  It's the ULTIMATE REVENGE! Experts say the first 30% reduction can be accomplished for nothing or a nominal cost.  15% of ENERGY is lighting - which we're tackling now - replacing CFLs with LEDS, but we've got all of our ALWAYS ON PERISPPHERALS on electric strips so that when they're OFF, they're OFF!  TOGETHER WE CAN RESTORE SANITY & DEMOCRACY!  Trumpworld is like a clown car that crashed into a law library. Ossoff roasting Vance? Chef’s kiss. Crow doing pull-ups next to Hegseth? That’s not politics, that’s performance art with lat muscles. And Habba as a fake US attorney? Of course. Trump hires lawyers the way most people buy scratch-off tickets—cheap, shiny, and guaranteed losers. Meanwhile, Newsom and California finally figured out the secret: don’t just whine about gerrymandering, gerrymander back. If Republicans want to play Calvinball with democracy, at least bring your own bat. No they are not a clown world. I need to be the Joe downer today (yesterday I was Joe upper). The direct targeting of John Bolton, with Patel egging the whole thing on, and the 'passive' inspection by Martin of James' home is deadly serious. So please also pause today and pray in whatever way you may (I know you love my rhyme because it is always in good time). We need spiritual empowerment and love too. If you need some more Joe downer, c/o Hartman: https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-authoritarians-secret-weapon-1c8 Newsom is leading the pack right now! MAGAs have called out his texts as childish but I think they are brilliant. I don’t know why the MAGAs can’t see they are mocking trumps tweets. I hope the democratic governors need to band together!
