Russia’s “Shadow War” Includes Plots to Bomb US Cargo Planes and Poison Water — Seriously
A new report reveals what European security officials are calling a Russian hybrid war campaign involving sabotage, misinformation, and alleged plots to bomb cargo planes bound for the U.S. and poison water supplies in Europe — among other acts like undersea cable cutting and rail sabotage. The so-called “gig worker” saboteurs, allegedly recruited online with no formal ties to Russian intelligence, are said to have carried out botched attacks in the UK, Poland and Germany that could have brought down planes or disrupted critical infrastructure. Experts warn this isn’t random mischief but part of a coordinated effort to test vulnerabilities and wear down Western defenses.

Inside Don Jr.’s $500K-A-Year MAGA Millionaire Club — Because Normal Clubs Are Too Boring
The Daily Beast exposes the ultra-exclusive Executive Branch — a secretive private club in Georgetown linked to Donald Trump Jr. and MAGA business elites that charges about $500,000 a year and admits only ~50 vetted members. Hidden below an unmarked entrance, the venue is decked out with $10 million in art, luxe lounges, rigid security (phones confiscated, facial-recognition cameras everywhere), and a rotating guest list of wealthy MAGA allies, tech investors and even government officials enjoying absurd tabs and private jets fetching rare wines. Despite the political flavor, insiders say it’s all about exclusive networking, secrecy and clout, not grassroots activism — literally the $500K VIP room of MAGA.
Trump Is Ending Everything — Now It’s Ethiopians’ TPS on the Chopping Block
In yet another hard-right immigration gambit, the Trump administration announced it is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopian nationals living in the U.S., stripping them of work authorization and deportation protection after a DHS review claimed Ethiopia no longer met the criteria for TPS. The move is the latest in a string of rollbacks that have already targeted migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Myanmar, South Sudan, Syria, and Somalia — part of a broader drive to shrink legal protections and ramp up removals. Legal challenges are already in the air as critics warn this could tear families apart and destabilize communities long embedded in the U.S. economy and society.

Republicans’ Voter Suppression: The Real Threat to Democracy
In “The Greatest Threat to Democracy,” Marc Elias argues that while dramatic crises come and go, the ongoing GOP voter suppression and election-subversion machine is the slow-burn menace that should terrify every democracy fan. From aggressive redistricting and attacks on mail-in voting to the DOJ’s push to grab sensitive voter data from states, Elias paints a picture of a persistent campaign to rig the rules so elections aren’t free or fair — and warns that this quiet grinding attack on ballots and voters is the foundational threat facing the country.
The Resistance
Historic Preservation vs. Trump’s Ballroom Bonanza
In a fresh legal battle, the **National Trust for Historic Preservation just sued President Trump to try to halt construction of his oversized White House ballroom, arguing the project ripped out the East Wing without required federal reviews or congressional approval and tramples historic preservation laws. The lawsuit claims Trump’s team skipped legally mandated environmental and design assessments — essentially bulldozing process along with walls — and asks a judge to freeze the project while the courts sort it out. This fight now pits preservationists against presidential power, constitutional limits, and what critics call a vanity project bigger than the mansion it’s attached to.
Department of Injustice
Trump’s DOJ Can’t Stop Tripping Over Its Own Revenge Tour
Trump is still trying to muscle Lindsey Halligan into a U.S. attorney role even after courts tossed her politically motivated cases against James Comey and New York AG Letitia James — because her appointment itself was legally bogus. Judges, grand juries, and now watchdogs have all said some version of “absolutely not,” turning what was supposed to be a show of prosecutorial strength into another public face-plant for a DOJ more focused on vendettas than the law.
Trump DOJ Demands Fulton County Hand Over 2020 Ballots — Yep, That’s a Thing Now
In a major escalation of its efforts to breathe new life into debunked claims about the 2020 election, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed a lawsuit demanding that Fulton County, Georgia, turn over all ballots and election records from the 2020 presidential race — including used and void ballots, ballot stubs, signature envelopes, and digital enrollment files. This is the first time the DOJ has officially sought actual physical ballots from local officials as part of the Trump administration’s push to revisit unfounded fraud theories even though multiple investigations have found no evidence of systemic fraud in Georgia.
DOJ Doesn’t Want Its Dirty Little Secrets Heard in Court (But Plaintiffs Do)
In “Plaintiffs in the Alien Enemies Act Contempt Proceedings File a Blistering Response,” Mueller, She Wrote breaks down the latest twist in the ongoing legal battle over the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants — and the government’s efforts to block key testimony. Plaintiffs are furious after the DOJ tried to keep sworn testimony from a whistleblower and a senior DOJ lawyer off the stand because it might expose senior officials (including Emil Bove) as having lied to Congress and the courts. The response argues that the court needs real testimony to determine whether contempt occurred, not glossed-over declarations from political appointees, and accuses DOJ of trying to bury the facts rather than face them head-on.
Oh Canada
Canada Mobilizes a “People’s Army” to Stand Up to MAGA Threat
In “Canada Mobilizes a People’s Army,” Charlie Angus reports that Ottawa is rolling out plans for a 300,000-strong volunteer citizens’ army — partly pitched as wildfire/emergency help but explicitly framed as a message to Donald Trump and MAGA aggression. The force would reportedly include weapon and drone training for volunteers, with Angus pushing for decentralized local battalions and patriotic branding like a “Maple Leaf Battalion.” He casts it as a grassroots bulwark against threats to Canadian sovereignty and a fresh front in resistance politics.

Epstein Emails Drop Like a Political Molotov — Trump Claims It’s a “Hoax”
Newly released Jeffrey Epstein email exchanges reviewed by CNN include messages between Epstein and former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler as well as author Michael Wolff, and show Epstein claiming President Trump “spent hours at my house” with an alleged victim and that Trump “knew about the girls.” The emails, obtained by House Oversight Democrats from the estate and part of the broader Epstein Files release push, have reignited scrutiny of Trump’s past ties to Epstein even as the White House dismisses the revelations as a political smear.
Michael Wolff Has Entered the Chat — And the Epstein Files Might Torpedo His Career
In “The Michael Wolff Bombshell: The Emails, The Tapes, The Lies — And the Epstein Connection He Can’t Explain,” Blue Amp takes aim at the controversial author and Fire and Fury fame-maker as newly released Epstein email exchanges reveal him not just reporting on the disgraced financier, but advising Epstein on PR strategy — including how to handle questions about Donald Trump. Wolff’s attempt to cast himself as a fearless truth-teller is undercut by emails showing him pitching media tactics, cozying up to Epstein, and then suing Melania Trump over fallout from his claims, all while raising cash on GoFundMe to cover legal costs. The piece frames this mess as a potential career-ender for a guy who once traded access for exposés but now looks like he blurred ethics and ego into a single incoherent brand.
Creepy Epstein Decor Heads to Auction — Yes, Really
A New Jersey auction house is quietly hawking off Jeffrey Epstein’s old furniture, artwork and decorative oddities from his Upper East Side mansion — including an 1820s Viennese desk, bizarre sculptures and pieces once spotted in his infamous study — with at least $100,000 already sold and more to go. The estate isn’t exactly promoting these lots as “Epstein’s stuff,” but old photos have helped bidders link items back to the disgraced predator’s home. Proceeds are being used to satisfy estate obligations, including payments to the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, though the whole affair has raised eyebrows about who wants creepy relics and how transparent the sales really are.
Donny’s Week Goes From Bad to Worse
In “Donny’s very shitty week ends with new Epstein photos released,” Jeff Tiedrich skews President Trump’s latest political setbacks and the release of Epstein-related photos that could stir fresh controversy. The post highlights Indiana Republicans rejecting Trump’s redistricting pressure, bungled DOJ attempts to target NYC AG Letitia James, and internal Republican strife — all capped by House Democrats dropping new images from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal collection. It’s cutting, chaotic, and paints a picture of a beleaguered Trump facing resistance from all sides.
America’s Gestapo
Kristi Noem Absolutely Not Having a Good Day at the Homeland Security Rodeo
In “Kristi Noem Destroyed by Homeland Security Democrats,” Migrant Insider gleefully recounts a brutal House Homeland Security Committee hearing where Democrats laid into DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — calling for her resignation, accusing her of dismantling Homeland Security, and shredding her credibility on immigration enforcement before she walked out mid-hearing under the pretense of a “FEMA meeting” that was later revealed to have been canceled. Noem’s attempt to escape tough questions — complete with a crucifix-wielding protester interrupting and Democrats yelling at her as she left — leaves a vivid picture of her under fire from both sides and struggling to defend her record. After getting owned by the dems, she ran out of there faster than Josh Hawley on Jan 6th prior to the hearing being finished.
Your Profile Pic Better Be Patriotic (or Else)
In “Your Profile Pic Better Be Patriotic,”MeidasPlus skewers the latest GOP outrage cycle — this time over a White House memo allegedly pressuring federal agencies to monitor and flag “unpatriotic” social media avatars and posts. The post lampoons Republicans for weaponizing patriotism into a loyalty test while Democrats scramble to frame it as authoritarian nonsense, and it points out how easily political virtue signaling can slide into real privacy and free speech invasions. Expect snark about selfie politics, MAGA panic, and how “patriotism enforcement” is the newest flavor of Washington theater.
Today’s To-Do List
- Call your U.S. Senators and House Representative and demand public hearings and document releases related to:
– The DOJ’s demand for Fulton County’s 2020 election ballots
– Ongoing Alien Enemies Act contempt proceedings
– Any DOJ involvement in political prosecutions of Comey, Letitia James, or election officials
Ask directly: What oversight actions are you taking this month? Silence is an answer.
2. Submit a written comment or letter (email counts) to the Department of Homeland Security opposing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopians. Emphasize family separation, economic harm, and the destabilization of long-established U.S. communities.
3. Donate or amplify legal defense organizations supporting TPS holders and immigrants facing removal. If you can’t give money, share one verified fund or org with a short explanation of why this matters now.
4. Share Democracy Docket and court-focused reporting on DOJ ballot demands and election interference. Focus your post on process abuse and precedent, not personalities — this is about protecting elections before 2026.
5. Archive today’s reporting:
– Save copies of Epstein-related articles, email releases, and court filings
– Screenshot headlines and official statements
– Store links in a private doc or encrypted note
Authoritarian systems rely on disappearing records. Don’t let them.
6. Contact local election officials or civic groups and ask what protections are in place for ballot security, chain of custody, and voter data privacy in your county. Even asking the question creates pressure.
7. Boycott disinformation outlets and outrage mills pushing fear without verification. Don’t click, don’t share, don’t quote-tweet. Redirect attention to fact-based reporting instead.

Final Rally Call
This moment doesn’t need spectators, it needs witnesses and participants. Power is scrambling, documents are leaking, courts are pushing back, and the truth keeps slipping through the cracks no matter how hard they try to seal them. Stay loud. Stay organized. Keep receipts. Show up for each other and for the people most under attack. They win when we disengage — and we’re not going anywhere.
If you want a sharper angrier headline, a shorter rally call, or one that explicitly name-checks Resistance Kitty / Revolution2025.INFO, say the word and I’ll tune it.
