Great News That’s Terrible For Trump: His Map Died and That Wasn’t Even The Best Part
The regime can’t stop losing
|
Come sit down with me, grab your coffee or whatever you’re drinking. I’ve got great news for you today. I’m not here to walk you through all of the terrible things Trump did this week. I’m here to focus on big wins against him and his regime.
Before we jump in, be sure to hit the like button and restack this edition. Someone you know needs to see these wins, you can be the person who delivers them.

The Librarian Got Paid
Patty Hector told the Saline County quorum court—the county’s legislature—there was nothing wrong with the books they wanted out of the children’s section. In August 2023 the quorum court handed the power to fire library staff to the county judge, and that October he fired her. Days before a jury was set to hear the case, the county settled for $275,000, paid out of a statewide county risk fund.
He Walked Back Into His Own Country
Brian José Morales García told federal agents he was born in Denver and that his birth certificate was at his house in Austin. They deported him to Mexico anyway, in April, after a trooper stopped the crew he installs air conditioners with. His lawyers presented that same birth certificate, and Brian walked back into his own country on August 30. His damages case is now moving forward.
A Judge Slammed The Door And Locked It
The Trump regime wanted ICE to operate out of New Jersey’s state buildings. Gov. Mikie Sherrill said no, so they sued 12 days later. Judge Georgette Castner tore apart the regime’s arguments and threw the case out with prejudice. They can’t file it again.
Trump Bragged About This Permit. It’s Gone.
New Jersey rejected the Raritan Bay pipeline twice. When the state reversed itself last November, Trump’s Energy Department claimed credit in writing, saying he and his energy council “worked across party lines to secure the necessary permits.” On Tuesday, the Third Circuit tore that permit up.
New York Got Him
On Jan 6 Thomas Sibick attacked DC police officer Michael Fanone, stole his badge, and buried it in his backyard. Trump pardoned him, which let him walk out 18 months into a 50-month sentence. This month in Erie County, New York, Sibick pleaded guilty to a state weapons felony. A president can’t pardon that. Sibick faces up to seven years.
The Ballots Are Going Out The Old Way
On September 4, Judge Indira Talwani blocked Trump’s order directing the Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only in states that first handed over their voter files. This week, a federal appeals court backed Talwani up, finding “no record evidence of past fraud” anywhere in the case. States already started mailing ballots under the old rules.
Eight Months In, He Opened The Boxes
New Yorkers demanded answers from City Hall for 25 years about the air quality downtown after 9/11. On Tuesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani put 170,000 pages online. Sick responders and their families now hold the city’s own paperwork, including a 2001 memo laying out ways to limit what New York could be made to pay.
They Beat It With A Petition
Trump wanted Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City district gone, so Missouri Republicans redrew the map. More than 300,000 Missourians filed a referendum petition two days before the new lines could take effect, and the Missouri Supreme Court ruled unanimously the map never became law. Republicans went to the Supreme Court twice this week to save it and lost both times. November runs on the old lines, and voters get the map on the ballot.
November is coming, and things are not looking good for Republicans. Trump seems to be doing everything he can to lead his party off a cliff—but we still need to work as if we’re behind and sprint through the finish.
We will continue to investigate Trump and his allies while running the biggest social media campaign against him ever. Along with our congressional pressure campaign which has delivered more than 843,000 letters to the House and Senate since November 2024, on top of the countless calls we’ve made.
We have 52 days to get this done. Only 52 days to turn Trump into a lame duck, and we need all hands on deck to help us create a big blue wave. So if you haven’t yet, help fuel our movement to take back our country and start holding Trump and his accomplices accountable for everything they’ve done.

COMMENTS:
For anyone sitting on the fence, the article from COMMON DREAMS explained the MEDICARE ADVANTAGE SCAM that will kick SENIORS off HEALTHCARE (FOR PROFIT HEALTHCARE SUCKS!):
To Boost Profits, Medicare Advantage Giants Move to Kick Over a Million Seniors Off Their Plans
Humana said it is exiting plans covering roughly 600,000 seniors to “drive the intended margin expansion.”
excerpt - don't miss this:
The companies laid out their profit-boosting strategies months after the Trump administration provided a substantial payment increase to Medicare Advantage plans, which are run by private companies and funded by taxpayer dollars. MA companies are notorious for denying necessary care and overbilling the federal government through practices such as upcoding, whereby patients are made to appear sicker than they are to reap a larger federal payment.
“President Trump, Dr. Oz, and leaders in Congress have talked a big game for two years about reining in waste, fraud, and abuse, but instead they increased insurer payment by multiple times more than what the administration originally proposed,” Anthony Wright, executive director of Families USA, said in response to the April payment hike.
During his remarks to the GOP midterm convention on Wednesday, President Donald Trump vowed to “stop all government payments to big insurance companies”—an apparently inadvertent call for the elimination of privately run Medicare Advantage plans, which received over $534 billion from the federal government last year.

MASSACHUSETTS has a WEALTHY tRumper running for GOVERNOR, MIKE MINOGUE promoting tRump's LIES, DISINFORMATION and DISTORTIONS carefully crafted to MISLEAD....especially about CLEAN, RENEWABLE ENERGY and current state policies.
Note also that he is NOT an ECONOMIST, never includes FACTS or STATISTICS.
Donald Trump Is Laughing All the Way to the Bank... at the End of the World
By embracing fossil fuels and shutting down renewable energy, “our” president is making a fortune off end-of-the-world policies. Think of him, in fact, not figuratively, but all too literally, as the president from hell.

JUST A FEW WELL-INFORMED COMMENTS:
MapQuest saying no and a million people remembering they have a choice—that’s the mood I want for November. Little refusals add up. Grateful this newsletter still bothers to look.
In Dallas, he had the mic, the banners, the whole machine—and he was scared of an empty seat. That’s not strength. That’s a man who knows the country is done posing for the picture. Thank you for being here and being part of the movement that will finally take down Trump!
Poor Maine voters…they’re just the first to experience the chaos Trump hopes to inflict on all of us before November.
On a totally different topic, because it’s 9-11, it’s a great time to reflect on the support provided to us by CANADA during and following the attacks. Their kindness to stranded travelers, sending 40,000 troops to fight by our side. How disgusting that Trump is attacking and insulting them now.
RANKED CHOICE VOTING IS A FAILURE! It's too easily manipulated by an outrageous list of candidates, delays results - nothing to be gained!
THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER THAT CANADA STOOD BY FOR AMERICANS IN NEED AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TRUSTED FRIEND!
The ORANGE TURD can insult and betray FRIENDS with his DEMENTIA!
And I'll say a version of it again: "How disgusting that the clown is..." is the title of a very long list.
Only fools would believe a serial liar and convicted fraudster. Especially when it comes to money. And maybe the media…but I repeat myself.
I guess at some point you just decide to blindly believe instead of admitting you’ve been very wrong the whole time.

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC:
For those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah -a very happy Jewish new year to all, filled with the blessings of a peaceful and less chaotic world, may your days be filled with good health and the sweetness of the honey in which you dip your apples traditionally.
As a lifelong trump-despiser (I grew up in Philly - I was well acquainted with trump’s ethic-starved machinations long before he had his stupid reality show or became president), I cannot personally imagine wanting ANY association with that man.
On my deathbed, I fear one of my last thoughts will be mulling over the mystery of that disgusting, rotting piece of meat’s popularity. He enthralled so many; I have NEVER, ever, ever, ever seen the appeal - he’s incredibly repulsive to me.
He’s one of the most disgusting creatures on earth, inside and out!
I worked with young people who were active and involved registering FIRST TIME VOTERS when KARL ROVE's DIRTY TRICKS targeted the MAYOR.
I grew up outside of NEW YORK and JIMMY BRESLIN and the NEW YORK POST could not have written more about tRump, ROY COHN or GHOULiani!
Subsequent accounts indicate that the ROSENBERGS were likely innocent.
Too many voters believe the RHETORIC and fail to RESEARCH.
VOTER IGNORANCE is on display in too many current races in which massive funding silences TRUTH. Just look at NEW HAMPSHIRE, MAINE or TEXAS.
Thank you, CANADA! The majority of Americans, all those who love democracy, rule of law, and our Constitution, send a heartfelt "thank you" for all the things you have done to support our country. We also want Canadians to know that we are so disappointed and embarrassed by the current leadership (or lack of leadership) and how they are treating our closest neighbor

I am way past medical excuses for the vile and corrupt demon 's mental condition! My personal belief is that the friggin' bastard is just absolute EVIL. He is EVIL incarnate.
While I don't disagree since the ORANGE TURD has always been a MONSTER (but now joined with 2 other MONSTERS who threaten the WORLD: PUTIN and NETANYAHOOO),
Daddy dRumpf had DEMENTIA, thought he was still running tRump org, so they got him a secretary and parked him. That's where the ORANGE TURD belongs.
The ORANGE TURD left office with REFRIGERATED TRAILERS filled with COVID DEAD! The highest COVID DEATH RATES were in "R" voting areas.
When President Biden was elected, he stopped intelligence reports from going to Daffy Don, but if you examine what the BOOB wrote, he continued to act as if he was in office.
Too few pay attention to tRump's "LIES" that may have other origins.
tRump's BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEYS insisted on meeting with him with 2 attorneys present because his version of events CHANGED.
Some have speculated 'drug addiction' as a cause.
Regardless, WE have a MONSTER who is so stupid, he promoted the ALIEN SPERM DONOR DOCTOR for her bogus COVID cures. (DESANTIS appointed JOE LADAPO, a follower of hers) to protect FLORIDA's public health.
The issue that should be of GREAT CONCERN is a poorly educated electorate who voted for a DIMM WIT who continuously referred to his (FICTIONAL) friend - HANNIBEL LECTER and much else....
Now that the BIG BEAUTIFUL DISASTER has destroyed HEALTH CARE, FOOD PROGRAMS, exploded the DEFICIT and much else, the baffling issue is why MAGA MAGGOTS still support STUPID!
