Good to have you here. I’ve got some things that’ll lift your week.
While the powerful in Washington bully and brag and lie, other people—with far less power and far more nerve—simply refuse to go along. Finding their stories, the ones Trump hopes you’ll never hear, is what this newsletter is for.
So before you read on, tap the little ❤️ heart button, then restack. That’s how this edition reaches people the algorithms would rather it didn’t. A few taps from you, and a stranger hears the truth.
Becoming a paid subscriber isn’t writing a check to a newsletter—it’s joining a table full of people who haven’t given up. No ads, no billionaires, no corporate owners—just readers like you.
We’re still a handful short of our end-of-month goal for new paid subscribers—I hope you’ll become one of them.
FORMER TRUMP ADVISER IS NOW A CONVICTED FELON
 |
John Bolton—the man Trump once picked to be his national security adviser—pleaded guilty Friday in a Maryland courtroom to a federal crime.
He admitted to illegally keeping more than a thousand pages of the nation’s secrets and handing some to relatives who had no business seeing them. His punishment: a $2.25 million fine, and his government pension stripped away. And he could still go to prison.
Nobody’s shedding a tear. Bolton spent years as one of Washington’s loudest voices for war, beating the drum for one conflict after another. Watching him stand before a judge and answer for his own crimes is its own kind of justice.
Here’s what it tells you. The people who were certain the rules would never apply to them are finding out otherwise. One down. The rest should be watching. We certainly are.
NEW YORK JUST DID WHAT WASHINGTON WON’T
 |
While the regime hands landlords and billionaires everything they ask for, New York City’s new mayor just did the opposite—and he did it in his first six months.
On Thursday night, the city’s Rent Guidelines Board voted 7 to 1 to freeze rent on nearly one million apartments. It’s the first two-year freeze in the board’s history. Mayor Zohran Mamdani picked six of the nine members. They delivered.
Under former Mayor Eric Adams, landlords got 12% in rent hikes while their profits jumped 30%. Working people paid more so the rich could pocket more. That stops now.
A million households in New York City just got told their rent won’t go up for two years—because they elected someone who promised it and kept their word.
When the right people get into office, they make our lives easier instead of harder. It just happened in New York. It can happen where you live too.
COURT SLAMS DOOR ON TRUMP’S PA VOTER GRAB
 |
The regime spent all year trying to get their hands on the private voter records—names, addresses, even Social Security numbers—of millions of Americans. On Saturday, Pennsylvania became the latest state to slam the door in their face.
US District Judge Cathy Bissoon threw out the DOJ’s lawsuit demanding Pennsylvania hand over its voter files. And she’s not alone—court after court has tossed these same demands, in ten states now. Even some of Trump’s own appointed judges have ruled against him.
Here’s what’s quietly remarkable. The official who refused to hand over your data is Al Schmidt—Pennsylvania’s top elections officer and a Republican. This is the same man Trump attacked by name for refusing to overturn the 2020 election—and still wouldn’t back down. He protected voters of both parties, and he didn’t blink.
OSSOFF SAID WHAT OTHERS WON’T
 |
At a packed rally in Savannah on Saturday, Jon Ossoff did what too many politicians won’t. He named names and dared them to answer.
He went after his opponent, Mike Collins—Trump’s hand-picked Senate candidate. Ossoff called him “a bigot and an antisemite under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of taxpayer dollars.”
Then he went further. “While hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their healthcare, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom,” Ossoff said. “They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill.”
Then he lifted the room. “A wave is building,” he said, “the kind that comes once a generation, when people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once and all together that enough is enough.”
It’s already happening. Republicans have been telling Ossoff that they’re voting Democrat for the first time in their lives.
Georgia turned out and changed the country once before, he reminded them. “We’ll do it again.” He’s right. And it won’t only be Georgia.
Every person you read about today had a choice. The judge could’ve looked away. The mayor could’ve broken his promise. The senator could’ve played it safe and said nothing. They didn’t. They used what power they had—and the powerful felt it.
You have that same choice, and more power than they ever want you to know.
For ten years, we’ve put it to work two ways: digging up the stories corporate media buries, and turning our readers into a force—resulting in millions of calls and letters to Congress.
We do it with no ads and no billionaires. Just readers who pay because they believe in the work and want it to keep going. So if you’re able, become a paid subscriber today. We’re nearly there on our end-of-month goal. You could be the one to push us over:
And before you go, hit the ❤️ like button and restack this edition. A few taps put these wins in front of someone who’s been told nothing ever changes—and shows them it does.
Onward!

Bolton’s a convicted felon now. Who should be next?
Do you agree with Senator Ossoff that a wave is building?

NEW YORKERS SHOWED UP & SPOKE OUT!
NYC: Rent Guidelines Board
FROM MAMDANI:
I want you to be one of the first to hear it from me:
This week the independent Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents on one-year leases and, for the first time in the history of New York City, on two-year leases, too.
For more than two million New Yorkers in rent-stabilized homes, the rent will not go up.
Let that sink in for a second, because I'm still sitting with it myself.
This is the relief that working people across our city deserve. It's a single mom in the Bronx who can breathe a little easier next month. It's a retired teacher in Queens who isn't lying awake doing the math. It’s relief that working people can feel in their own homes, in their own bank accounts, starting now.
And, I need you to know that this was your victory.
It belongs to every New Yorker who testified and organized to show up at the Rent Guidelines Board. To everyone who believed a different kind of government was possible before there was any proof it could exist.
This is what it looks like when tenant power refuses to quit.
This week, tenants showed our city what bold leadership looks like. Their victory motivates me to keep working to deliver a more affordable city: building and preserving affordable housing, lowering the costs that landlords use as an excuse, and making sure every neighbor in this city knows their rights.
That work only happens with you by my side.
Our city’s tenants are showing the entire country what's possible when working people stop asking for permission and start delivering for themselves. This is a New Era for New York City, and we are just getting started.
In solidarity,
Zohran Mamdani
Mayor of New York City
JOHN BOLTON?
I recently made a comment about the importance of understanding HISTORY to fully understand the consequences that were created...at the time I posted articles about BOLTON's outrageous and inappropriate conduct that was ignored/overlooked....
Just another CHICKEN HAWK: "I support the WAR IN VIETNAM, but don't want to risk my life!"

Interim appointment for UN AMBASSADOR because his history was so tarnished and scandalous he never would have passed a SENATE VOTE!
Remember the PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY that gathered the WHACK-A-DING NEO CONS?
WIKIPEDIA: JOHN BOLTON:
excerpt:
He was an advocate of the Iraq War as a Director of the Project for the New American Century, which favored going to war with Iraq.[8]
He was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from August 2005 to December 2006, as a recess appointee by President George W. Bush.[9] He stepped down at the end of his recess appointment in December 2006[10][11] because he was unlikely to win confirmation in the Senate, of which the Democratic Party had control at the time.[10][12] Bolton later served as National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump from April 2018 to September 2019. He repeatedly called for the termination of the Iran nuclear deal, from which the U.S. withdrew in May 2018. He wrote a best-selling book about his tenure in the Trump administration, The Room Where It Happened, published in 2020.[13]
Bolton is widely considered a foreign policy hawk and advocates military action and regime change by the U.S. in Iran, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Cuba, Yemen, and North Korea.[14][15][8][16] A member of the Republican Party, his political views have been described as American nationalist,[17][18] conservative,[19][20][21][22] and neoconservative,[23] although Bolton rejects the last term.[24][25][26] He is a former senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)[27] and a Fox News Channel commentator. He was a foreign policy adviser to 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.[28] In October 2025, Bolton was indicted on eight counts of unlawful transmission and ten counts of unlawful retention of national defense information between 2018 and 2025.[29] On June 26, 2026, Bolton pled guilty.[30]

TENNESSEE is another one of those states that never stopped fighting to CIVIL WAR long enough to improve their states -- REPUBLICAN controlled states still require subsidies from BLUE STATES!
From the INTERCEPT:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wades Into Tennessee Primary, Endorsing Justin J. Pearson
The congresswoman has a strong track record of backing winners this cycle — but she’s emerging from controversy after sitting out key races in her home state.

I so agree with you re: Democratic Socialists. I believe that their platform is one most Americans would agree with if so many weren't blinded by the word "Socialist". Denmark and Norway are repeatedly considered the happiest countries because their citizens pay high taxes, yes, but are assured of universal medical care, child care, living wages, affordable housing, generous time away from jobs and general peace of mind. They elect their officials. Theirs is Democratic Socialism. You are right that many of our programs we currently depend upon such as Social Security and the VA services among others are social, public supported programs. They are Social programs.
Our problem is our unfair tax system and the corporate ownership of our politicians.
Kudos to integrity!!
“Here’s what’s quietly remarkable. The official who refused to hand over your data is Al Schmidt—Pennsylvania’s top elections officer and a Republican.

The entire Trump family, I hope, will someday soon be investigated and tried for their corruption, including Trump’s hiring cronies in no- bid contracts, and manipulating the stock market to their own benefit. Etc!
I would so so so enjoy seeing Don Jr wearing an orange jump suit and a prison-style haircut
Ossoff is right! We are all going to get together, and all of us are going to get rid of the corruption, con jobs, and conspiracies by voting in November. But now we need to thank those judges for protecting our laws! E. Jean is getting her settlement, voter info stays stateside, and 7/2 Trumpstein files' new deadline! Lots of winning for the rule of law and the people! Great news, Scott!
