Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

The outlets Trump just banned from the White House… Exposed damning details about his coverup of the Epstein files (CNN) Exposed his use of FBI & Secret Service to spy on critics (MSNOW) Exposed his illegal detention of thousands (Politico) This is full-blown censorship.

The entire White House press pool should protest Trump’s decision to kick out certain reporters by refusing — in solidarity — to leave the building tonight. It’s the People’s house, not his. We have a right to know what’s going on there.

Trump just said he's kicking CNN, MSNOW, and Politico out of the White House. I was there the day he ejected CNN's Jim Acosta in 2018... Trump's staff gloated... then I watched a federal judge body slam the WH and order Jim's pass restored. The First Amendment will prevail.

DRAIN THE SWAMP! STOP THE STEAL! LOCK ‘EM UP! It strikes me that Trump’s favorite slogans are now easily used against him.

I cornered GOP Chairman James Comer on Capitol Hill. He told me he's "very concerned" about Trump's son taking wedding money from a Russian oligarch. Even Trump's own congressional leaders can't defend this stuff anymore.

Took this photo yesterday. The man who put up the scaffolding is closing the building because he can’t keep his name on it. I learned in the first administration: Donald Trump is as just petty as he is corrupt.

Just met a three-time Trump voter outside the White House. Successful businessman from Texas. Eying the construction of the ballroom: “I just can’t do it anymore. I just can’t. The corruption. It’s gross.” Trump is losing his base.

The Supreme Court blocked Trump’s illegal scheme to snatch your ballots out of the mail. For a guy who hates losing, he sure does it a lot.

We built a sprawling machine to protect Americans after 9/11. I gave most of my life and career to that effort. Today, we have a president who has turned that machine against us.

Trump is threatening to starve poor children if state employees don’t participate in his mass deportation campaign. So if DMV employees, teachers, and nurses don’t become snitches, the kids don’t eat? This is sick shit, even for him. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/02/d...

The Supreme Court's decision to let Trump build his ballroom is worse than you think. They've opened the door to new kinds of presidential lawbreaking. Trump's own lawyers say he can bulldoze the Statue of Liberty if he wants. We have a high court of cowards.

NEW — The GOP is making their midterm convention entirely about Trump, calling it “Trump-a-palooza.” So we’re parking all 3.5 million Epstein files outside of the event so folks don’t forget who he really is. They want confetti. We’re bringing the paper.

To prosecute Trump, Democrats should make Pete Buttigieg the next Speaker of the House. Nothing in the Constitution requires the Speaker to be an elected member of Congress. If Democrats take back control, they should bring a bulldog into the job.

GOP candidates are in a pre-midterm panic: — Trump's numbers are cratering (25% w/ independents) — He's forcing his toxic brand on them with a "Trumpapalooza" convention in Sept that no one wants — And he's barely given them any of his $400M war chest. bit.ly/4ifLAKS

Republicans tell me they've one wish for the midterms: for Trump to stay away

Trump is re-labeling whole swaths of the U.S. border “defense areas” so that the military can take over. When I was at DHS, our lawyers would’ve called this “stupid” and “illegal” and “dystopian.” Because it is.

NEW: Files reveal DHS opened a “terror” probe to spy on Minnesotans protesting ICE, per NYT. What did such suspected “terrorists” do? Some banged pots and pans at hotels where ICE agents slept. The free-speech crackdown has reached peak absurdity. www.defiance.news/p/activists-...

Activists used pots and pans to protest ICE. They were investigated for terrorism.
The Trump administration reportedly spied on left-leaning groups during immigration protests in Minnesota.

Trump might send ballot-snatchers into these 13 states. Each refused to hand over their voter rolls AND each is a battleground that could decide Congress. They should be ready to stop him.

Donald Trump wants 'fighting communism' to be the GOP's midterms theme. The man is seizing the central bank, nationalizing industry, and printing money with his face on it. I worked for him. The guy IS the communist threat.

Todd Blanche is about to have a bad week. If he loses Thursday’s vote, the humiliation will be historic. If he wins, it’s worse… the job he wants — “yes-man” to a law-breaking Trump — could one day land him in prison. More here: bit.ly/4yNvmOZ

By threatening the midterms, surveys show Trump has inspired unprecedented energy among Democrats. It’s also sent a message to MAGA voters: “You can skip the polls.” Great work, Mr. President. You're beating yourself... again. www.defiance.news/p/data-shows...
defiance.news
Data shows Trump is inspiring Democrats to vote — and Republicans to stay home.
The president's voter suppression campaign is poised to backfire by mobilizing the political opposition, while depressing MAGA voter turnout.

In the first term, it was humiliating to see foreign leaders play Trump like a fiddle (using flattery). But the bigger problem was taunts. He was so easily provoked. Iran watched & learned. Now they're goading Trump into a forever war… to our peril. bit.ly/4fpVfeH

In 2020, Trump manufactured the Big Lie, but he could never find the actual "thief" who stole the election. So this Thursday, he's going to invent one. Get ready for the "Bigger Lie" (which will make him look even more desperate than before). www.defiance.news/p/i-helped-o...
defiance.news
I helped oversee election security for Trump. He's about to swap the "Big Lie" for a Bigger Lie.
The president will reportedly begin releasing cherry-picked intelligence from 2020 to make it look like a foreign country helped Joe Biden win. The claims are categorically false.

Trump ordered the FBI to find out who leaked the truth about his Qatari jet. Within 24 hours, his own leak investigation leaked. You can’t write a better metaphor for this administration. Too corrupt to hide it & too incompetent to cover it up. www.defiance.news/p/trump-open...

Trump opened an investigation into reporters. Then his own "leak" probe leaked.
Try as he might, Donald Trump's unprecedented attacks on the First Amendment are being met with unprecedented pushback.

If you live in a Blue State, Donald Trump just put a gun to your head. He's withholding cash to stop terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, and mass shootings from states that say "no" to his voting rules. If the fight to protect democracy wasn’t “personal” for you, it is now.

In the first term, only a handful of folks DIDN’T think Trump was a moron. The rest of the people I worked alongside — from Cabinet members to staff assistants — realized that the president was an idiot. Take it for what you will. But that’s the truth.

Trump’s first term had a basic filtration system. People stood between his addled brain and the country, catching the gunk. He ripped out the filter. You can see it with the tacky 250th celebrations. Americans are now just drinking his raw sewage. trib.al/Qx0xqeP

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read. Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures. When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.
