The Firewall Holds: Communities, Courts, and States Reject The Regime While Raskin Officially Demands Trump’s Medical Records

The resistance is winning. Here's proof

Scott Dworkin Apr 14

Democracy is being defended in the streets, courtrooms, and council chambers all across the country—by people who refuse to let Trump turn America into a dictatorship.

Rep. Jamie Raskin just called out how unfit for office Trump is and the regime’s propaganda machine is trying to bury it. Hit the ❤️ like button and re-stack this edition right now to help us break through their noise.

We’ve been fighting Trump since 2016—we’ve contacted Congress millions of times, we run one of the biggest social media campaigns against Trump ever, and we fight their lies by spreading the truth. We run on no ads and no billionaires, which is how we stay independent and answer only to you. And we need all hands on deck—join us as a paid subscriber today

SIX COUNTIES. THREE JUDGES. ICE LOSES.

Judge Timothy Schutz

The Trump regime’s deportation machine runs on local cooperation—turning taxpayer-funded facilities into federal processing centers.

Colorado spent years building a wall against it. A 2019 law bars local police from holding people on ICE’s request alone. A 2023 law bans local governments from contracting with ICE to detain immigrants.

Six of Colorado’s reddest counties decided those laws shouldn’t apply to them, and sued the state. They lost in trial, and only one county appealed. Then on April 9, a three-judge panel unanimously said no. In their ruling, Judge Timothy Schutz wrote: “The County is mistaken.”

Without local jails, the regime’s deportation machine has nowhere to put people. Colorado just made sure it stays that way.

IDAHO BANNED THE FLAG. BOISE DIDN’T.

Idaho’s GOP legislature spent two years trying to remove the Pride flag from Boise’s City Hall. On March 31—Trans Day of Visibility—they finally got it down. A $2,000-per-day fine has a way of forcing compliance. Boise had other plans.

One week later, Boise didn’t replace the flag. Instead, rainbow stripes went up on flagpoles, rainbow lights shone on City Hall at night, and signs appeared in windows reading “Creating a city for everyone.” The law said no flags—it said nothing about this.

City Council President Meredith Stead said: “We are taking [the flag] down because the law forces us to, but our commitment to every person who has looked at that flag —and felt seen—does not waver for a single moment.”

The GOP Rep. who designed the law says he has no plans for another bill. Two years of legislation and Boise is now more visible and more defiant than it was before they started. The GOP lost.

TRUMP’S EPSTEIN LAWSUIT THROWN OUT

Trump sued The Wall Street Journal for $10 billion last summer, trying to kill a report that said he sent a creepy and sexually suggestive birthday letter to Epstein in 2003. The letter, bearing what looked like his signature, was released by Congress after they subpoenaed Epstein’s estate for it.

On Monday, US District Judge Darrin Gayles threw the whole case out. His verdict on Trump’s legal argument was brutal: “This complaint comes nowhere close to this standard. Quite the opposite.”

Trump spent nine months trying to use a $10 billion lawsuit to crack down on press freedoms and make that letter disappear. It didn’t work. The courts won’t let the regime bury it. And we won’t either. Release the Epstein files. All of them. Now.

RASKIN DEMANDS TRUMP’S MEDICAL RECORDS

Rep. Jamie Raskin (Left) and Rep. James Comer (Right)

Rep. Jamie Raskin sent a formal letter Friday to White House physician Navy Captain Sean Barbabella with three demands: a full neuropsychological assessment of Trump, a complete report on every medication he’s taking along with their cognitive side effects, and Barbabella’s testimony under oath before Congress. Deadline: April 24.

For years, Raskin and others have warned that Trump is unfit for office. Now, as Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, he’s making it official—in writing, with a hard deadline, and the full weight of congressional oversight behind it.

Raskin didn’t mince words. “When the President of the United States threatens to extinguish a civilization on social media, rants about combat missions with children at the Easter Egg Roll, and drops profane tirades on Easter morning,” he wrote, “we have indisputably entered the realm of profound medical difficulty and concern.”

Raskin is refusing to let Trump sweep the truth under the rug, something we’ve proudly been doing since 2016. This Friday, April 17, Raskin will join us live on Substack at 1:15pm ET to go deeper on all of this and more.

The Trump regime has the White House, the House, and the Senate—for now. But momentum is on our side, and the resistance movement is stronger than ever. Help us flip Congress and turn Trump into a lame duck by becoming a paid subscriber today:

Who else LOVES being a part of the resistance!

Always!

I LOVE BEING A PART OF THIS RESISTANCE!! 🙌❤️🇺🇸

RESIST! RESIST!!!

This is the kind of week that reminds us why we fight every single day. Raskin putting Trump’s fitness on the record, Colorado slamming the door on ICE, Boise turning a forced defeat into a full-city rainbow statement, and Trump’s Epstein lawsuit getting thrown out.

The resistance isn’t just holding the line—we’re advancing. Proud to be part of this with you all 🔥

What a great way to start the day!!! Kudos to the resistance... keep the momentum going!

OMG energizing.

Absolutely!

I love the way that Pope Leo is fighting back. Ooh rah!

Pope Leo could literally cause the fascist regime to shit bricks by coming to the US and meeting with ("name that person(s)"). One thing to use social media, but now literally come and not literally spit on the regime by defying them with his presence. He is the most popular figure in polls so take advantage of it.

For his own safety, he should stay far away from the USA. Plus, he should quadruple his security protection as he visits that island (can't remember its name) on July 4th. The Trump regime might try to harm him there.

Wishing peace for Leo!

YES! I would like to see more faith leaders follow his example and speak up.

He's standing his ground admirably💕

The great thing is, in many cases, we’re shutting these prisons down before they even open. And in other cases like in Colorado, we’re simply telling them they can no longer arrest just anybody and drop them off at our jails—unless we agree to it. It means ice won’t be able to just go out and round up whoever they want and sort it out later.

These are huge wins for the resistance. It’s about trying to preventing more of exactly what you’re talking about from happening!!

There was a recent report of a visit to one of the 'facilities' that included the observation of pregnant women, as well as those who had given birth and were caring for infants. 

Children are included in too many facilities.

No pre-natal care, no post natal care, rotten food, contaminated water.

In good conscience, how can FOR PROFIT COMPANIES brag about PROFITS when providing such inhumane and frequently violent conditions? 

Don't you wonder WHY people voted for a LUNATIC who frequently spoke of his FRIEND, the non-existent HANNIBEL LECTER? Or ranted about ELECTRIC BOATS? He told you he was going to DEPORT PEOPLE - you didn't listen! 

Never mind the INHUMANITY - you lost HEALTHCARE and FOOD due to this LUNACY!  You lost a FUNCTIONING GOVERNMENT! Expertise, experience and protections were FIRED! It was all included in PROJECT 2025! 

How many more countries will the ORANGE TURD invade or BOMB?

Who's next? CUBA? CANADA? GREENLAND? 

Buyers' REMORSE doesn't matter after making an uninformed VOTE!  

I encourage people to listen to some of those experts who are speaking out on NPR & PBS!

"The Garbage Can of the World"

Garbage out

Mary L. Trump Oct 31

This is the original image from GETTY IMAGES. It has not been altered.

At Donald’s hate rally at Madison Square Garden, one of the speakers referred to Puerto Rico as an island of floating garbage. For months now, Donald has been referring to Kamala Harris as “stupid,” his political opponents as “the enemy, within,” all while calling democrats “sick” and “evil.”

After Joe Biden made a statement in order to push back against the massive amounts of dangerous rhetoric that came out of Donald’s MSG rally, CNN aired an edited clip of what Biden said:

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

That sounds terrible doesn’t it? Well, that’s because the clip is cut in a way that completely misrepresents what Biden actually said, which was this:

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s—his—his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”

We all know Biden is not an eloquent speaker. We’ve known this for a long time. He has a stutter; he does not always get his point across clearly.

if you are a listening to his remarks in good faith, and you understand how spoken English works, you know what he meant. The garbage is Donald’s and his supporter’s hatred of other people and the fact that they are perfectly comfortable calling other people garbage.

First of all, to all those reporters out there who used the edited clip as a primary source, you might want to do your own research. Secondly, may learn how apostrophes work. I’d also like to remind you that President Biden isn’t actually the Democratic candidate.

I don’t know why anybody in the Trump campaign thought it was a good idea to dress Donald up as a sanitation worker and put his name on the side of a garbage truck. In doing so, they achieved two things: They helped Donald reach his lifelong dream of becoming a member of The Village People; and they, once again, mocked real working Americans.

Being a sanitation worker is valuable work that our society depends on. It’s also physically demanding work that Donald couldn’t have done even when he was in his prime five decades ago. Yesterday, he had trouble opening the door to the cab, displaying troubling physical symptoms that the media continue to ignore.

He seemed very off-balance; he missed the door handle three times; his left hip glitched; and he dragged his right foot. Once he did get the door open, it almost hit him, and he was barely able to drag himself up into the passenger seat.

[Quick aside, I’d suggest that if the media is looking for something important to report on, they might want to get their hands on a copy of Donald’s medical records.]

Donald was so enamored of his sanitation-worker costume that  he wore it to the rally in Green Bay, WI during which he shared the exploits of his phenomenal feat of—pulling himself into the passenger seat of a garbage truck:

“I said how the hell do you get into this truck? It’s way up high. I said they didn’t have to buy it that big, right? You have to get it that big? So the first stair’s like up here,” he raised his arm to his waist, but the stair was at knee-level. “I said, ‘Shit.’ So I had the adrenaline going and I made it.” Wow. Good for you, Donald.

Despite the bright orange vest with bright yellow strips, the rally got dark when, yet again, Donald discussed bringing America back to the Golden Age of 1798, when the Alien Enemies Act was passed. This Act served as the foundation for the detention of Japanese-Americans during World War II, which is one of many reasons it should no longer exist. Designed to be used during times of war or if the United States is under actual invasion, Donald plans to use it to justify the internment and deportation of millions of people.

He waxed nostalgic about the glory days of 1798 by saying, “That’s when we had people that wanted to protect their people.” It was also a time when women couldn’t vote and a Black Americans were terrorized on a daily basis.

The idea of control was obviously on his mind, because he didn’t just repeat what he’s been saying lately about wanting to protect women, he added a new twist.

I want to protect the women of our country. I want to protect the women.

“Sir, please don’t say that.”

“Why?”

They said. “We think it’s very inappropriate for you to say.”

I said. “Why? I’m president. I want to protect the women of our country.”

They said “Sir, I just think it’s inappropriate for you to say.”

I pay these guys a lot of money. Can you believe it? I said “Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not.”

Which sounds exactly like something an adjudicated rapist would say.

But the media continues not to take any of what Donald says or does seriously.

Do you know what the corporate media is taking seriously?

Joe Biden’s statement or, rather, the misleading version of Joe Biden’s statement. This morning, that was the lead story on the front page of America’s two leading daily newspapers. But Biden isn’t the candidate, so why is this even news? Well, because both papers insinuated that Biden’s remarks presented a problem for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The New York Times ran with this headline: “Biden’s Gaffes Complicate Harris’ Final Stretch Worrying Democratic Insiders” The Washington Post headline was just as bad: “Harris’ message has been clear; but Biden’s blunders still haunt her.”

Clearly we have learned nothing since 2016, when every misstep and bad deed committed by Bill Clinton was laid at the feet of Hillary Clinton. Yes, the woman always have to take responsibility for the man’s failings. Donald Trump, on the other hand, never has to take responsibility for his own.

At least he never called anybody garbage, right? Well . . .

Donald recently called America “the garbage can of the world,” and this is what he had to say about actual human beings back in September:

“The people that surround [Kamala Harris]—they’re Scum. They’re scum. And they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.”

Good to know.

We’re five days out. The media keeps getting it wrong. Let’s make sure we get it right.
