Thanks to your support I get to dig through the court orders and depositions nobody else opens. Here's one from this week: the FEMA cuts a judge just ruled illegal were built on a number the court found was picked first and justified later. If you want to do more, please upgrade—we have a goal of five new Founding Members by tomorrow night. Or gift a subscription to someone who needs great news like this in their inbox every day:



Eight Wins For Us That Trump Tried To Bury

His own judge killed his scheme, FEMA’s cuts stopped, the Kennedy Center still isn’t named after him—and five more.


Thanks so much for taking the time to join me today. Go ahead and pour your coffee, or whatever you’re drinking, and pull up a seat. I’ve got eight great stories for you today—eight wins for us that are big losses for the Trump regime.

Before we jump in, hit the like button and restack this edition. Someone you know might only see the lies from the MAGA propaganda machine. You can be the one to show them the regime is losing.

And if you’re not yet a paid subscriber, come on board. We have no ads and no billionaires here. We’re reader-funded journalists who don’t just cover the resistance—we lead it. Join us.



A Trump Judge Said No


The Trump regime wrote a Postal Service rule that would’ve let them refuse to deliver ballots over a wave of new procedural requirements. Trump-appointed federal judge Carl Nichols blocked the rule last weekend. The next day, the Supreme Court refused to lift a separate block on it. Mail ballots go out under the same rules. Trump lost again.


FEMA Cuts Blocked


DHS pushed FEMA to cut its workforce roughly in half. Federal Judge Susan Illston ruled the plan was illegal, and DHS never had the authority to make that decision. FEMA is still standing.


No Texas County Can Do It Again


Galveston County redrew its precinct lines in June, just three months after the primary vote. The Texas Supreme Court ordered November run on the old map instead. Now, no county in Texas can redraw district lines in the middle of an ongoing election.


Academic Freedom Restored


Two weeks after Trump’s order to service academies, West Point required civilian professors to get approval before speaking or publishing as faculty. Professor Tim Bakken sued over it. Federal Judge Cathy Seibel found it to be unconstitutional. She made the injunction permanent. The policy is dead.


ICE Blocked


ICE’s plan for a holding facility outside Gilroy, California, has been halted by federal Judge Eumi Lee, who found the regime likely skipped a legally required environmental review. The injunction holds as long as the case runs, which is expected to take years.


His Name Still Isn’t On It


Trump’s board voted to put his name on the Kennedy Center and rename the grounds after him. Federal Judge Christopher Cooper blocked both, reminding the regime that Congress barred new memorials there. It’s the second time since May he’s ruled against them. The only name on the building now is Kennedy’s.


Judge Stops Trump Visa Rule


Trump’s rule would’ve capped student and scholar visas at four years, and foreign journalists at 240 days, forcing everyone to reapply after that instead of staying as long as their program ran. Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV blocked it nationwide one day before it was set to take effect, finding it failed the law in multiple respects. Everyone kept the old rules.


Trump’s Order Vacated


The Energy Department ordered Michigan’s J.H. Campbell coal plant to stay open after state regulators and the grid operator had already approved closing it—then ordered it again five more times. A unanimous DC Circuit panel vacated the first order. The state’s Attorney General Dana Nessel brought the case.


If I can leave you with anything today, it’s this. Through all of the darkness, the light I see at the end of this tunnel has only gotten brighter thanks to our readers here. When you could be doing anything else, you chose this—the fight. You chose the truth. You chose to be the person who keeps showing up. In the end, that’s who is going to save our country—us.

My promise to you is the same I gave on election night 2024: that I will never give this regime an inch. I will never look away. And I will always shine a light on the regime until they are held accountable for everything they’ve done.

Their propaganda machine is loud—but we’re louder, and stronger. And when history is written about the last decade, the work we’ve done together will be in every chapter of it.

We don’t just cover the resistance, we help lead it. We run investigations corporate media will never touch. We drive pressure campaigns on Congress that have put more than 856,000 official letters on desks on Capitol Hill—on top of countless calls—since November 2024.

Our infrastructure was made to win, but we need all hands on deck. So if you haven’t yet, join us as we sprint through the midterms—and beyond:

JUST A FEW OF MANY INFORMED COMMENTS: 


Eight different rooms — a Trump judge, the Texas Supreme Court, a professor who wouldn’t ask permission — all said the same thing: they don’t get to skip the law just because they’re loud.

That’s the part they need you tired enough to miss. Don’t miss it.


The best way to start a Saturday morning, right here at the Dworkin Report! ❤️


When we fight, we win. Keep fighting.


All great to keep the momentum going strong! Another win in RI where the judge ruled that DonOld's administration's effort to shut down a solar program for lower income people is illegal -- a big win where utilities are costing more as winter draws closer. Thanks for making the weekend brighter and less stressed, Scott! Have a great weekend, too!

Here’s another Win.

A federal judge in Rhode Island has ruled that the Trump administration illegally terminated a $7 billion Solar for All program intended to make solar power accessible to more than 900,000 lower-income Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency rescinded the Solar for All funds in August 2025 after President Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending law passed in Congress a month earlier. Administrator Lee Zeldin called the program a “boondoggle.” District Judge Mary McElroy wrote in Friday’s ruling that Congress clearly intended for the EPA to continue administering the Solar for All grants that were already obligated. She says the EPA acted contrary to this intent. The Rhode Island AFL-CIO called the decision a big victory for states across the country.


Thank you for laying out the full details of Judge McElroy's decision, Shawn! Protecting that $7 billion Solar for All program ensures real relief reaches hundreds of thousands of families. A massive victory!




As Trump demonstrates significant cognitive decline, we can expect more irrational decisions which must be blocked!

… Trump explained his tariff rationale: “If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars.”


… People said we needed a businessman as president. I’m not so sure that’s working out right now.


I think the FEMA win holds the most promise for me on the West coast. With our fires and floods they have been responsive.

As far as a personal win I’m an old lady waking up is a big win for me!!! ❤️


We’re not even close to being tired of fighting and calling out this silly regime and its abnormal leadership. Every one of them whom Don tha Con-Felon has chosen will have their own fifteen minutes of infamy and then on to court and their just “reward.” Thanks, Scott; keep up the digging—so much more corruption is hidden.

Well, a real businessman perhaps, not a fake game show host who can’t do math or read cue cards. He doesn’t even understand the word ‘deficit’! Vote 💙

O M G... logic has never been in his collection of cognitive skills. Bananas? He is a lot of things, but a "businessman" isn't one, nor is he a president.

Whaddya mean? 

BANKRUPTCIES defined him!

Daffy Don knows that he reduced drug prices by 160%! 


MATH GENIUS!  (sarcasm intended!) WHARTON doesn't brag about this flunkie! 


Someone around town posts stickers of a smiling drump pointing that says "I DID THIS!" one local gas pumps and grocery stores. 


COFFEE used to be ~ $5, now $15 - where's the refund? 

What unnamed BOOB assessed TARIFFS to an island inhabited by PENGUINS? or an island with no exports?

All of the wins are great BUT it’s clear that this administration will do what they want regardless of court rulings. I still think the PO could mysteriously lose ballots, look how Blanche has ignored court orders in the case Katie Phang brought, and bull dozing the Kennedy center because he got away with it for his ballroom. When is SCOTUS GOING TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THIS COUNTRY! And why do they get to stay out of the public eye? I’m disgusted


Your caution is completely understandable, Patti. While court wins give us legal grounding, continuous vigilance and massive voter turnout are what truly enforce accountability. We will not let down our guard!


Academic Freedom Restored is one of the top 8. During this constant attention with mid-terms, it is a nice surprise. A few months ago, I committed to assist with our get out and vote campaign. I completed my job last night.

Congratulations on finishing your GOTV commitment, Jane! That direct voter engagement is the hardest and most vital work in any campaign. Protecting academic freedom is a huge win!


Scott, you always give me hope that our fight to save America from fascism is working! Now back out into the streets for me. Onward to a blue wave! 🌊


Take that energy into the streets, Sheryl! Grassroots organizing and visible presence are how we build that wave. Onward!


Every Sunday, here in Brevard County Florida we've been rallying in defiance of the regime. We've been at it going on 18 months. We are a small group of blue dots in a large red county. We've been threatened by the town council, by the Brevard Sheriff, and by the MAGA residents and that hasn't deterred us. Sometimes we have 20 sometimes 100 participants. We receive abuse but more positive reinforcement than negative lately and it fuels us. Onward indeed!


Early voting began in MN yesterday. A friend joined me after casting our ballots. Then we celebrated. It felt good! Now, we encourage everyone else to do the same. Here comes the blue wave!


Minnesota leading the way with early voting! Casting that ballot and celebrating with a friend is the best feeling. Thank you for doing your part, Connie!



I hope an order can be issued prior to him demolishing the Kennedy Center. Was SCROTUS aware of all the disastrous things this toddler would do when they granted him immunity? Can all this destruction be claimed to be in the course of his position as President? When impeachments start, the court should be the 1st target.


SCROTUS is a good one. I’d like to see #CorruptJohnRoberts out front and center defending his lackeys


Protecting historic cultural treasures from arbitrary destruction is vital, Joan. Rebuilding judicial accountability and defining the limits of executive power will be top priorities.


The Kennedy Center contains numerous gifts from other countries that are intended to honor the assassinated JFK; handwoven custom drapes, curtains, crystal chandeliers, Belgian mirrors, etc... there are dozens of exquisite objects in that Center. And the financials were just fine before the odious cretin got his filthy hands on it.


I wasn't aware of some of this, just more reason to prevent its destruction


You are so right... the Center's budget is decimated ONLY because of Don-Old's takeover!!! It's the endless bad loop of narcissism!!!


Most of the judges are federalist right wing nuts and support the heritage foundation playbook.


Just received the book ‘End Times Fascism’ by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor and it pretty much nails exactly what is going on and lays out the ridiculous irrational tyranny we are now up against and why this is happening at this point in human history. And why and how we must fight back. Thanks for being on the forefront of the resistance, Scott.


Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor always offer brilliant, sharp analysis, Gary. Understanding the structural roots of authoritarianism helps us fight back with precision. Thank you for the recommendation!
