Republicans Melt Down Over Tennessee Special Election, While Trump Mobile Grift Falls Apart, and The EU Stands Firm Against A Failing Regime's Bullying Tactics Dismantling the maga machine Scott Dworkin Nov 29 Happy Saturday, and thanks for being here! I hope today’s great news brings you plenty of positive vibes. Thanks to this awesome community here on Substack, we’re still completely free of corporate influence—with no ads and no billionaires. But we need all hands on deck to keep things going full speed ahead. So if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll back our independent journalism and unmatched activism against Trump, by becoming a paid subscriber today: Let’s jump in. TENNESSEE RACE HEATS UP Recent polls show Dem State Rep. Aftyn Behn down by only two points in the special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District—which will be held on Tuesday. The fact that this seat is within reach for Democrats is a very bad sign for the GOP, as Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024. SWALWELL SUES THE REGIME Dem Rep. Eric Swalwell is suing Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, saying he “abused his position” in an effort to make up “fanciful allegations of mortgage fraud” against Trump’s enemies. Swalwell states that Pulte “combed through private records of political opponents” like himself, Sen. Adam Schiff, NY AG Letitia James, and others—“To silence them.” We need more people willing to sue members of the Trump regime over their constant abuses of power. PHONE GRIFT EXPOSED Trump Mobile is off to a terrible start, and is getting exposed as another massive Trump family grift. NBC News reported that they paid the required deposit in order to claim a phone back in August, but there’s still no sign of receiving one. Even better, the company blamed the government shutdown for the delayed delivery—which makes absolutely zero sense. And they are now selling refurbished, overpriced Samsung and iPhone devices instead, as some sort of consolation prize. One thing is certain—this is just more corruption from Trump and his family. EU OFFICIAL ACCUSES REGIME OF “BLACKMAIL” Teresa Ribera, a top official within the European Union, delivered a scathing rebuke of the Trump regime. In response to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s offer of lowering tariffs if the EU loosened online regulations for American businesses, Ribera stated: “It is blackmail … The European digital rulebook is not up for negotiation.” TRUMP LOSES IT MORE Ever since the tide turned against him on releasing the Epstein files, Trump’s been more unhinged than ever. On Thanksgiving, he once again proved this by responding to a simple question from a reporter with a personal insult. CBS News’ Nancy Cordes was asking about the murderer who shot two National Guard troops in DC, when Trump interrupted, saying: “are you stupid … you’re a stupid person.” This tantrum from the toddler while in Florida is another reminder that Trump’s unfit. I wouldn’t trust him to operate a juice box, let alone to run the White House. WALZ CALLS FOR TRUMP’S MRI Minnesota Governor Tim Walz hit back, after Trump used a disgusting and hateful term to attack his intelligence. Walz responded directly with this statement: “Release the MRI results.” It was the perfect answer. It cuts through the insult and gets straight to the heart of the matter. This is the kind of fearless pushback we need—just like we’ve delivered for nearly a decade now. We expose the reality about Trump that corporate media is too afraid to even mention, every single day. We take a sledgehammer to maga propaganda with our daily news briefs. And our activism arm—The Watchdog Coalition—has reached lawmakers over half a million times in a year. All while generating billions of impressions on social media to dominate the narrative online. We do it all with zero corporate influence, and no ads, because all of our work is powered by our community here on Substack.

Every grift, every murder, every illegal deportation / kidnapping, every rape, every assault, every single law broken… I will be so proud of TN if Aftyn wins! But proud still that she has come this far! I look forward to DJT’s meltdown on this. And DJT is exhibiting so much more poor health than Biden ever did! Why are the republicans allowing this public humiliation? And if you are a stupid enough person to buy anything from DJT, then you get what you deserve! Yes. Release MRI results. Whether it’s a bible, a coin or mobile anything, if any Trump is involved, it’s a scam. Let’s applaud Aftyn Behn. She’s a winner! Read yesterday: the difference between humans and animals is animals would never allow the dumbest of the herd to lead them. The bright side of TrumpPhone is that only MAGAts would want it. Free spy wear included! Yes, Aftyn Behn will win in Tennessee on Tuesday! The people of Tennessee are over the meanness and abuse of power. Anybody who buys anything from Trump is asking for a loss. The White House will never let us know anything definitive about Trump’s health. Yes. Without a doubt. I am not surprised. Yes. And I hope it’s a landslide. Thanks for the encouraging news. How soon can we start the impeachment process? 🤦🏼‍♀️ Could care less about his MRI most of us see the decline, every blasted thing is a grift for him and his family. YES, she will win, and it will be another rebuke of Mango Mussolini!! Agree, and the maggats will be told it's a fake one anyway or done by an unqualified tech. blah, blah, blah. Got my fingers crossed for the upcoming Tennessee Congressional election. Massive GOP $$$ has been poured into this district race, and the fact that Behn could possibly pull off an upset in this state is a miracle. Trying not to get my hopes up, because we’ve been so disappointed, time and time again. Thanks Scott for the post. I really hope Aftyn Behn wins and helps continue the new 'blue' wave especially in such a conservative state. Also, if it wasn't for this post, I would not have heard about the cellphone grift, the media should be all over this and other similar stories to keep punching at the corruption. Yes, MRI results should be shared and an honest statement about Trump's fitness. He always gets physicians to lie for him, the honest results are our 'right to know'. Oh how I love the grinch over tRUMPS face!!! Not only should they release the TRUE MRI results (because they could be doctored or replaced) but I also feel that a team of NONPARTISAN doctors that have not been paid by the orange man should be allowed to examine him. Grifting is second nature to the orange man. This phone business is just another example of his grift. It doesn't surprise me. It just makes me sick! I hope with all of my heart that Aftyn Behn will win on Tuesday! Everyone is working so hard to stop this nasty regime from taking our country even further down the wormhole of authoritarianism. A win in Tennessee will help continue our push to stop the orange man in his tracks! We must keep up the pressure on all fronts. We cannot back down! Thanks for the great news, Scott! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe! Mobile Grift: it looks to me like he’s taking his moves from Elon. Deposit, no Tesla. Deposit, no Trump mobile phone. Only one color choice, right? Gold. YES! Release Trumps MRI results, today! Trump Mobile- another this family's BAD companies. I do hope and am praying that Aftyn Behn wins the election on Tuesday! I do not believe the WH--eapecially this one--will ever tell the truth about Trump's lack of health. Historically speakingm the US keeps a president's poor health a secret, driven by the belief that such information would undermine their authority, create economic panic, or jeopardize their political career. In this case, they are worried the country would cheer and celebrate more than they do after all sports championship wins combined. I think Tim Walz response to Trump was perfect but despite this awful administration I do believe in hipaa laws that protect people’s privacy so no I don’t think the WH should release the MRI. All you need to do is listen to him to realize there’s something wrong with him! Trumps Mobile grift is just more of the same. I don’t feel bag for the MAGAs who buy his crap! I don’t know Tennessee politics but I sure hope Aftyn Behn wins because it would be a win for the country. How about we the American people give Trump a physical, with doctors of our choice, including a Cognitive test, to see just how "healthy" he is? Release Trump's Health Reports!!!! (And what about his taking on Jasmine Crockett in a Cognitive Test? He threw it out there, Jimmy Kimmel said he would host it, and Jasmine Crockett accepted..... So, let's do it...... Or was that just more BS and Lies and Nothing from you know who.........) My problem with Substack is that it’s sharing information with those whom already largely agree and/or are aware. I want media like NPR, PBS, NYT, CNN, NYP, WSJ, Bloomberg, WAPO, etc. to be doing their jobs as a free press. And, I want to see your opinions in those media. In addition to test results, they should include medications that help shape results, such as blood pressure pills, and the like. Do you think the White House should release Trump’s MRI results? Absolutely! What do you think about the Trump Mobile grift? Sic but then who (oh yes Maggots of course) would be stupid enough to buy one? Do you think Aftyn Behn will win on Tuesday? Yes, I certainly hope so! Keep the pressure on this disgusting shameful POS. Phone bank for Aftyn Behn. Call for full investigation of Caribbean military strikes, some of which may be illegal. Ask questions about the so called deal for Ukraine especially given the WSJ’s explosive article today. Make his sad grifting life miserable until the madness breaks and god willing we get our country back!!!
