Slotkin’s Defiance, Democrat’s Upset Victory In Georgia, and New Epstein Revelations Show The Tide Is Turning On Trump

Shattering the maga propaganda machine

Scott Dworkin Dec 4

While Trump is “busy” falling asleep in Cabinet meetings and pardoning drug lords, I’m glad to have some great news for you today. I hope it gives you some relief from the regime’s chaos—even if only for a moment.

Before we start: I refuse to accept corporate money, and all of my work is reader-powered. It’s the only way I can avoid any influence from advertisers and billionaires. So if you haven’t yet, I’d be honored to have you join me as a paid subscriber:

Thanks for being here. Let’s dive in.

DEM PULLS OFF BIG UPSET IN GEORGIA

Democrat Mary Robichaux pulled off a big upset in the city of Roswell, Georgia on Tuesday, handily defeating the incumbent Republican mayor by more than 6 points. Another great sign of widespread momentum for the resistance.

COSTCO SUES REGIME

Costco became the biggest company yet to sue the Trump regime, in an attempt to get “a full refund” for tariffs. The wholesale giant—which has reportedly refused to raise prices on customers despite the tariffs—said in a court filing that Trump’s tariff orders are unlawful, and that the regime had no authority “to implement and collect them.”

Separately, dozens of other corporations like Bumble Bee Foods, Kawasaki, Revlon, and Toyota have also filed suit.

ERIC TRUMP’S CRYPTO FAIL

Eric Trump’s crypto business is getting hit hard with losses. The other day, within 26 minutes, shares fell 51%. And since the price peaked in September, value has fallen 78%. Don’t get me wrong: the Trump family grift is worse than ever. But it’s clear their brand is hurting.

NEW EPSTEIN EVIDENCE

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released new images and a video yesterday of Epstein’s private island. Given what we know went on there, the compound looks like it was built for a horror movie.

No matter how much stonewalling Trump and his regime have put up, we can’t stop until all of the abusers are brought to justice.

HEGSETH FACES HEAT

A watchdog report confirmed that Pete Hegseth did absolutely endanger troops by sharing war plans via Signal earlier this year. It was also revealed that Hegseth refused to sit down for an interview on the matter with the Inspector General, and he did not hand over his phone for the investigation—which obviously contained evidence.

To make matters worse, during a Cabinet meeting this week, there was a bizarre typo in Hegseth’s name placard. It read: “SSecretary of War,” as if someone found it funny to put “SS” there. It’s either a hideous amateur mistake, or a joke from a regime that just isn’t funny.

Garbage like this helps explain why Hegseth has been facing a growing bipartisan rebuke lately, with some even calling for his firing, resignation, or impeachment. One thing is clear: Hegseth is beyond unqualified, and he never should have been in this role in the first place.

SLOTKIN ISN’T HAVING IT

Before being elected to Congress, Dem Sen. Elissa Slotkin was a CIA analyst who “served three tours in Iraq alongside the US military,” according to her Senate website. Slotkin is also one of the six brave American patriots who sent out a video telling troops not to follow any illegal orders. And ever since the video was released, she has been under a constant barrage of attacks by the Trump regime.

But Slotkin isn’t having it, pushing back in a number of ways. She called for the ban of presidential pardons—since Trump continues to abuse that power—and made this clear: “Hegseth should resign” or “Trump should fire the Secretary.”

Slotkin added: “True leaders own the calls they make and take responsibility for their actions.”

Since we know Trump and Hegseth will never do that, it falls on all of us to hold the line. Which is why we haven’t stopped fighting Trump or his goons for a decade—not once—and we’re not stopping now.

In addition to smashing maga propaganda with our daily news briefs, our Watchdog Coalition is leading the charge—generating billions of impressions on social media while contacting lawmakers over 535,000 times in over the last year.

And since we refuse all corporate influence, we depend entirely on our community here to fuel our fight. So if you haven’t yet, please join us as a paid subscriber today:

Onward!

JUST A FEW COMMENTS: 

Slotkin is amazing. I'm so grateful for her courage and leadership. Just like I'm grateful for everyone here in the resistance pushing back against this unhinged regime.

We need more like her and in reality the women are not afraid of drumpf ...they continue to show up and fight

I used to support Slotkin. But she's too devoted to AIPAC to be OK by me anymore. AIPAC has way way too much $$ power and influence over the US [in decision-making and elections], hastening our democracy's ruin.

Thank you for pointing out the inconvenient truth. Americans: we do not want to be anything like Israel. And we do not want the cruel and corrupt Israeli regime telling our politicians what they can and cannot think.

LOOK IT UP!

I am a firm believer in supporting and accessing OPEN SECRETS for the impressive job they do. There are lots of additional reports and explanations to look up.

In response to your comment, I looked it up.

Do you believe them?

I am a Costco shopper. Their refusal to bow to this regime has not hurt them—a shining example. Almost every time I go in, I try to speak to an employee or manager and say we are shopping more with them as a result of the company’s refusal to back down on their DEI policy. I have been met with 💯 appreciation. While Costco succeeds, Eric…ahh, the usual.

I don't shop at Costco but I may need to start. I don't want to shop at Walmart, Target, Amazon, or Home Depot but sometimes it is hard to figure out where to purchase certain things.

I am waiting for Costco to build the store here in Buffalo, NY but I have ordered online from them. Anyone who stands up to Trump - kudos to them. I will never buy from Amazon again. I was kicked off Facebook for my anti Trump remarks and I will never go on Facebook again.

I opened a Costco membership just because they are standing up for DEI. Haven’t used it yet, not even sure I’m supposed to have a physical membership card, but I will definitely be doing biz with them.

We find they their gas prices alone pay for the price of the membership. When on driving trips, we plan to fill up at the local Costco on the way out of town.

Good to know, although I haven’t driven for 40 years.

They recently opened a Costco near my house, so I wanted to join. My brother was down visiting so we dropped by the Monday before Thanksgiving so I could check it out (and sign up) and he could fill up on gas. The place was a mad house!!

Membership is good worldwide, too. A friend got food for a family member’s party in the UK at Costco. If we rent a car on a trip, we try to find a local Costco to fill up.

1. I re-upped my membership to Costco after having let it lapse for many years.

2. Crypto is a pyramid scheme and Eric’s just got toppled.

The pitiful impotent frat bois in this Dumpster Fire administration find it flattering to be compared to fascists and Nazis. When the 🍊 Fat Boi met with Mamdani in the White House he was flattered to be called a fascist. He smiled and owned it without a problem. He is garbage as are the soul-less, gutless, ball-less Republikkkraps in Congress that have allowed this fat senile imbecile to run rough shod over this country.

Wild watching the empire of grift start slipping on its own banana peels. Eric’s crypto tanking is the most honest financial report that family has produced in years. Hegseth’s “SSecretary” placard feels like the regime finally saying the quiet part with a Sharpie. And Costco suing Trump is the plot twist I didn’t know I needed. When the warehouse that sells 48-packs of muffins turns out to have a stronger moral spine than the Cabinet, you know the rot is deep.

I have seen the following protest sign "in the wild":

IKEA has better cabinets than Trump!

Eric is failing because his intelligence level is the same as his Fathers! Low! And I’m very glad it’s failing… IMHO Crypto is a dark money pit with no tracking or accountability. I would never buy into it. Tax cheats love it! Typo for Hegseth?? Hahah… he is a Nazi.. and typical for this whole regime, they can’t proofread anything. Of course, it also sound like a slithering snake too! And I’m all in support of Slotkin ,Mark Kelly and all the rest of the courageous congressional veterans who are standing up! Too bad so many more are cowards! I’ve stopped shopping Amazon for almost everything… and although we live in a very small Coastal community, where most things have to be ordered, I’m ordering more and more from Costco and having it shipped ! And will do even more whenever possible. It’s so heartening to see people and business standing up to this disgraceful, demented President .. I honestly think he lost the last election, but Elon and others rigged the votes!

I agree about it being deliberate, but I don't know if they did it as an "inside joke" or if someone from within did it to make him look bad.

Check out this essay from Lucian Truscott on Hegseth:

https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/in-the-bunker-with-pete

I found the section below of particular interest ⬇️

So how was Goldberg included in the Signal chat-group that ended up receiving highly classified information about the airstrike on Houthi rebels? Well, there’s another excellent example of an Inspector General sweeping uncomfortable information under the nearest rug.

It seems that we will have to rely on theories as to how and why this serious breach of military security took place. My friend Terrence Goggin, who writes his “West Point History Professor” Substack, has a theory that there is a small group of people at the Pentagon who actually are loyal to the Constitution and take their oaths to defend it seriously. He believes they are responsible for sneaking Goldberg into the Signal chat and are probably responsible for the leaks that have revealed some of Hegseth’s other d*ck-stomping, most prominent of which is his apparent order to “kill them all” in the first “drug-boat” strike in the Caribbean that ended up including a second strike on two survivors who were clinging to the wreckage of their boat.
