The regime is taking blows from every directionâfrom federal courts, from state legislatures, from independent journalists who refuse to let the truth get buried, and from even their own voters.

The Dworkin Report has no advertisers, no corporate bosses, and no billionaires pushing us to take it easy on Trump. Paid subscribers fund every one of our investigations, our congressional pressure campaigns, and our massive online organizing pushes. Join us today: US District Judge Colleen McMahon has been dismantling Trumpâs so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In March, she blocked the regime from suppressing embarrassing sworn video testimony of two operatives who couldnât define DEI. Last week, Judge McMahon permanently barred the regime from terminating more than $100 million in National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grants. There were over 1,400 of themâevery dollar approved by Congress. Those two operativesâJustin Fox and Nate Cavanaughâhad zero government experience. They chose which grants to kill by feeding them into ChatGPT and asking, âDoes the following relate at all to DEI?â They never told the chatbot what DEI meantâdiversity, equity, and inclusion. So ChatGPT guessed. An anthology of Holocaust literature written by Jewish writersâDEI. Cut. Holocaust education at Seton Hall UniversityâDEI. Cut. Research on HIV in American prisonsâDEI. Cut. The termination letters were sent out with the acting NEH chairâs signature. He never signed themâDOGE did. Judge McMahon called it âa textbook example of unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination,â and ordered every one rescinded. They thought they could use a chatbot to erase history. A federal judge just wrote them into the record instead. In June of 2025, Trump Mobile launched and began collecting an estimated $59 million from 590,000 supporters for a gold âT1â phone promised to be âMade in the USA.â Then Trump Mobile quietly rewrote its terms: the $100 deposit is now only âa conditional opportunityâ to buy the phone if the company ever actually sells it. Translation: theyâre keeping that money. The âMade in the USAâ language was scrubbed from the website within weeks. The phonesâif they ever shipâare getting built overseas. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Robert Garcia are leading a group of 11 Dem lawmakers demanding an investigation for the âbait-and-switch tactics.â California Gov. Gavin Newsomâs office called it âFRAUD.â MAGA voters believed in the Trump brandâwhich gladly took their cash. The T1 joins Trumpâs graveyard of businesses that took peopleâs money and delivered nothing. At the moment it stings a bit to see Trumpâs name and face plastered on buildings all over DCâa city that voted for former VP Kamala Harris by over 90%. It sure will be cathartic to tear his name down when he leaves office. Iâll bring the sledgehammer. For now, banners thanking Trump hang on construction fences across the District. The regime wonât say who paid for them or what they cost. Sen. Bernie Sanders called it âsomething that dictators have done throughout history.â Sanders, along with six Senate Democrats, introduced the SERVE ActâStop Executive Renaming for Vanity and Ego. It bars any sitting president from naming federal property after themselves. If passed, it applies retroactively to every building, banner, and renamed institutionâall of it gone. No matter what, we will rip it all down. The regime keeps trying to bury the Epstein files, and itâs not working. Last week in Manhattanâs Tribeca neighborhood, the Institute for Primary Facts opened a public exhibit. They printed every page of the released Epstein filesâall 3.5 million of themâand bound them into 3,437 volumes. It stands two stories tall, and weighs seventeen thousand pounds. Organizer David Garrett said the exhibit contains âevidence of one of the most horrific crimes in American history.â One wall traces Epstein and Trumpâs 20-plus-year friendship. Candles mark over 1,200 survivors and victims that we know of. Unlike the DOJ, the organizers here redacted the survivorsâ names from the files. They named it the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room. Trump wanted his name on stuff. Well, here you go, Donald. Congrats. Hawaii passed two major bills last week that directly take on the regimeâs voter suppression campaign. One bans corporate donations in state and local electionsâa direct challenge to Citizens United that will go into effect next year. The other creates automatic voter registration. Starting January 1, 2027, every Hawaii resident applying for a driverâs license or state ID gets automatically registered to vote unless they opt out. Gov. Josh Green is expected to sign both bills. Weâre not on the defensiveâweâre advancing. Every day our fight delivers concrete wins. After more than a decade of doing this, weâre not even close to done. We were investigating Epstein and Trump long before it was a headline. Our community has driven millions of contacts to Congressâreal people picking up the phone, sending letters, showing up. And we run the biggest anti-MAGA and pro-Democratic campaigns on social media ever. All on top of our reporting. The hours it takes to do this work are paid for entirely by folks who believe our independent journalism is worth every dollar. We need all hands on deck to make sure we flip Congress and hold Trump accountable for everything.
