Pritzker Fights Trump's Immigration Abuses With New Law, Regime Blocked From Deploying Troops In LA, Tennis Star Pushes Back On Wannabe Dictator, and Obama Spreads Holiday Cheer To Kids
Historic law protecting immigrants signed by Pritzker
Thank you for taking the time to read today’s news brief. I’m glad you’re here. Hopefully this brings you a bit of relief from the Trump regime’s madness—even if only for a moment.
A quick note—true independence comes at a cost. I refuse to clutter your screen with ads or bow to corporate influence, so we can always stay true to the resistance. But that means we rely entirely on folks like you to keep things going. So if you value journalism that fights back and can’t be bought, I’d be honored if you joined us as a paid subscriber today:
Let’s jump in.
OBAMA SPREADS HOLIDAY CHEER
 |
Former President Barack Obama visited elementary students at the Chicago Public Library earlier this week. Donning a red Santa hat, he read the book “Flying Free: How Bessie Coleman’s Dream Took Flight.”
Obama then asked the kids what they wanted to be when they grew up. Some said they wanted to be doctors, and one stated they wanted to be like Obama—a great thing to aspire to.
UNION RIGHTS WILL GET A VOTE
 |
Dem Rep. Jared Golden pulled together enough signatures to force a vote on restoring union rights for federal workers. His bill—the Protect America’s Workforce Act—seeks to repeal Trump’s executive order which stripped roughly 1 million federal workers of their right to collectively bargain.
“These workers make our country safer and stronger every day,” Golden said. “This bill gives all of us a chance to restore their voices ... together, we can overturn this union-busting executive order, and we can show America that this body will protect workers’ rights.”
JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP IN LA
 |
Yesterday, a judge ordered Trump to end the deployment of troops in Los Angeles.
CA Gov. Gavin Newsom responded, saying: “Today’s ruling is abundantly clear—the federalization of the National Guard in California is illegal and must end.”
While the judge stated: “The Founders designed our government to be a system of checks and balances. [The Trump Regime], however, makes clear that the only check they want is a blank one.”
A NEW NAVRATILOVA AD
 |
As a winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, Martina Navratilova is truly one of the greats—and not just at tennis. Navratilova, who defected from Soviet-controlled Czechoslovakia in 1975, was a member of our Task Force that helped impeach Trump during his first term. She also did a video to support our mask-wearing campaign during Covid.
Now, Navratilova is speaking out against the Trump regime in an ad made by the group Home of the Brave. In it, Navratilova stated: “I defected from a totalitarian regime and like hell am I going to be cowed again and have to be careful about what I say … I’m so proud to be an American, but I’m embarrassed by what Trump is doing to our country.”
And then Navratilova brought more fire: “I am pissed off as hell about people capitulating to Trump—whether it’s the legal firms, or schools, politicians, or companies … Speaking out is the actual patriotic thing to do. When you see something wrong, don’t be afraid. You can find ways to make a difference.”
ILLINOIS LAW HITS BACK AT TRUMP
 |
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill on Tuesday that allows immigrants to sue federal officials, bans civil arrests in or around courthouses, and mandates that law enforcement agencies, hospitals, universities, and daycares have response plans for actions taken by federal immigration agents.
Pritzker stated: “Dropping your kid off at daycare, going to the doctor, or attending your classes should not be a life-altering task ... Illinois—in the face of cruelty and intimidation—has chosen solidarity and support.”
“Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Gregory Bovino have tried to appeal to our lesser instincts,” Pritzker added. “But the best of us are standing up to the worst of them.”
And so are we, just like we have for the last decade. We take a sledgehammer to maga propaganda with our daily news briefs, while our Watchdog Coalition helps lead the resistance against the Trump regime. In the last year, we’ve directed 550,000 contacts to lawmakers, and generated billions of impressions on social media every month.
But the only way we keep this fight going is by remaining completely independent. Taking any corporate money would also mean accepting their censorship. And we will never let anyone silence us.
So if you haven’t already, please support our fearless journalism and relentless advocacy by becoming a paid subscriber today:
Onward!

JUST A FEW COMMENTS:
Folks like Pritzker and everyone in this Dworkin Report community inspire me! This is great!
Yes yes yes!!! As Pritzker said (which I’m adopting as a motto): “…the best of us are standing up to the worst of them”. Onward!
That is very inspiring…
“Taking a sledgehammer to MAGA”. I approve this message, Scott.
Other Blue states should follow Pritzker’s lead!
Yes! Any legislation or judicial rulings that are constricting the 100 percent nefarious moves of the criminal enterprise operating out of the White House are more nails in its coffin.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO FIGHT TRUMP AND PRESERVE DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA.
WE ALL NEED TO JOIN THE RESISTANCE TO THIS WANNABE DICTATOR.
A SIMPLE AND PATRIOTOC WAY TO DO THAT IS TO VOTE IN THE MIDTERMS, RETURN CONGRESS TO DEMOCRATS AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIS SYCOPHANT REPUBLUCAN CRONIES.
A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS WILL BE THE PRACTICAL END TO THIS TYRANT.
That’s funny. I want to be like Obama when/if I grow up too!
I am excited for every single win! Every vote that’s pushed through, every ruling by federal judges, every election won… Then I wait for the appeals and know if it goes to the SCOTUS it was all for not. It’s time for them to stand by their oath, to abide by the Constitution and protect the American people.
Pretty frustrating that Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been allowed to remain on the court, knowing their corruption and biases. John Roberts is an embarrassment, and Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett should have never been appointed.
There should be term limits for SCOTUS and consequences (removal) when they violate their oaths.
I agree, Julie!
And, Mitch shouldn’t have been allowed to push the last two through, and democrats should have fought. Seems like something should have been done when we had control under Biden. I would be okay expanding the court. Anything to block / fix what is happening currently.
The Roberts 6 MUST be dealt with. And the court MUST have a thorough cleaning and disinfecting. And then fixed so this can never happen again. The Roberts 6 are a problem for America and Americans.
Roberts Court is a cesspool filled with GOP appointees who betray democracy and America.
And the pressure must be kept on the Corrupt Roberts 6 and any politician who has the ability to deal with the Corrupt Roberts 6. The Roberts 6 must not be allowed to get away with their assaults and attacks on America.
Question…Is there a way to look up which Congressional reps sign a discharge petition? Thanks.
Hey Peg-Great question! Here you go! https://clerk.house.gov/DischargePetition
This retired union steward agrees. The unions must be independent of the company, not captive "company" unions. Closed shops only, no freeloaders. If you don't want to be in a union, don't apply to work in a union shop. We need to go back to the 50s and 60s when unions helped create the largest and strongest middle class in the world.
"Right to Work" is "Right to Work for Less."
Let us not lose sight of the fact that it's NOT just trump. He is the useful idiot to a hostile takeover of the United States via the heritage foundation, the federalist society, and mega corporations with a big assist from the Supreme Court. This has been in the works for decades. This didn't JUST happen with putting trump in the presidency. They found their greedy conman, someone they knew they could control with the promise of power, money and a get out of jail card. Evidence of it is in his reply to media queries. He has a vague understanding of what's going on but not enough to effectively respond to the tough questions. That's why you'll see takeovers of media streams, CNN and other platforms. Kushner is already working behind the scenes for the Paramount deal. Instill their loyalists who won't push back on the lies and then the country falls to the propaganda. Now more than ever we need independent journalism to grow into MASSIVE media and become the trusted voices who will resist and push the facts. The voices of truths.
Thoughts about Rep. Golden forcing a vote on restoring union rights for federal workers?
Trump and his team are garbage and they're turning America into a shit hole country. I'm glad to see Golden fight back. They are doing everything to make themselves rich and everyone else poor.
What do you think about Trump getting ordered to return control of the California National Guard to state control?
About f'ing time. He's already gotten 2 of them shot and one killed in DC.
Where are the Epstein files. And where's the video of them murdering 2 people in the ocean floating on a destroyed boat? How many cover-ups can one administration need in their first 10 months? This is one sick regime.
Enough of Trump and his sewer Clowns. They don’t know what they are doing. Trump siding with Russia, deals in the Middle East, bombing people in the Caribbean, for what? To line his pockets while Americans stand in food lines and run up credit cards to make ends meet? Outrageous medical premiums? Get rid of all of them. Golden is brave and rightfully correct.
The Heritage foundation gave it a good go, but screw Vought and all his people too. You can’t win. We won’t let you.
