A Tale Of Two Whistleblowers (feat. Andrew Bakaj)

Monday, February 9th, 2026

Today, Trump posted a disgusting racist video on Truth Social and the right wing is making excuses; Tulsi Gabbard hid an intelligence report about a phone call involving someone close to Trump; DHS requested expedited deportation for five-year-old Liam Ramos, but a judge said no; members of Congress will review unredacted Epstein files; the federal judge will allow Marimar Martinez to release ICE text messages about her shooting; another judge says Trump can't block funds for the Getaway Tunnel project; the New Mexico governor has signed the Immigration Safety Act; and Dana delivers your Good News.

Good Trouble
Tell Your Senators to reject the SAVE Act (or the SAVE America Act as it’s been re-named). The SAVE Act could block millions of American citizens from voting by requiring people to produce documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote. The Brennan Center shows that 21 million Americans don’t have these documents readily available.

You can use this form or call your senators!
