Dworkin Report - Good News For Us, Horrible News For Trump

As we head into another week of the Musk and Trump chaos, I wanted to share some more good news. Hopefully it helps you breathe a little easier—even if just for a bit.

Across America—and around the globe—folks are loudly speaking out against Trump, and pushing back against his tyranny.

Yesterday, President Zelensky swiftly rejected Trump’s obscene demand for half of Ukraine’s mineral resources, saying: “These resources, this is not mine, but our people’s.”

Pope Francis went after Trump’s inhumane deportation plans, calling them a “violation of the dignity of many men and women, and entire families.” The Pope also appeared to rebuke JD Vance directly—for wrongly citing the Bible to defend their awful immigration policies.

1. It's good the Canadians are voicing their disapproval by booing our national anthem. I hope there's more of that.

and in other cities across the country. It should be the biggest anti-Trump turnout to date.

3. One thing that gets me...

with all his talk about annexing Greenland, Panama, and Canada... and taking Mexico's and Ukraines resources...

Well... we USE to call that "Invasion" by a hostile country. In business, I thinks it's even called a "hostile takeover" or hostile merger.

And, isn't it too much on-the-nose of what Hitler first did once they let him have power? Start taking everything, and start invading everywhere.

We can SAY and SCREAM all we want, but face it, we plebes don't have any power. Obviously, we no longer even have power at the ballot box. We're going to need someone with power behind them to help us sort this mess out. And, if that means we get treated like Germany in order to push Musk and trump down, I guess I have to be for it. What else is there?

4. Is excommunication still a thing? Does the Pope still do that?

He could excommunicate Vance. Wouldn’t change a thing, as far as Vance’s behavior. But it might cause some Trump-supporting Catholics to double-check their loyalties.
