Donald Trump and his idiotic maga sycophants are going to do everything. And I mean everything in their power to suppress the vote and cheat in the upcoming midterms. We're already seeing signs in Texas that it is a code blue alert. It is blue tsunami stuff happening down in the Lone Star State right now. The Democratic turnout is unbelievable. So the MAGA freak out is full blown right now. And an underreported story from the New Republic is giving us signs that we need to be taking this incredibly seriously. Seth, pop this up.

The New Republic, Trump's ICE, is quietly stockpiling weaponry, and it should alarm us all. So let's review here. He started, he called, remember he called Greg Abbott, hey, I need for you to gerrymander. He's like, okay, no problem. He's already starting all of these things. But more than anything, Trump will always telegraph what his intentions are. Sometimes it's projection. He accuses the other side of doing what he wants to do.

And from his State of the Union address, there was something that I want us to focus on that I didn't pay much intention to in my first analysis of the state of the Union. But this I really want us all to dive into. Seth, play the clip. The reason they don't want to do it, why would anybody not one voter? ID. One reason because they want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up all excuses. They say it's racist. They come up with things. You almost say, what imagination they have. They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get

elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it, John. Okay. I think when he said John, I think that's John Roberts, the Supreme Court Justice. And you'll may remember I had Senator Chris Murphy on a couple of days ago before the state of the union address. And he said, you know, don't get too excited about the tariff ruling from the Supreme Court because they'll probably do something like that. And then they will come in with something far more devastating, like voting stuff. So we have ICE that he's using in blue states right now, Minnesota, to test the waters. He is going to use ICE, who we now know, according to the New Republic, is stockpiling web. And I want you to think about the insanity of this.

The federal government is stockpiling weapons to use against its own citizens. And the cheater, the guy who sent a mob to the Capitol to kill Mike Pence, a white Republican, Christian Republican. He sent a mob to kill Mike Pence. And he has the audacity to stand there and say they cheat. and then little Moses Mike Grindr Johnson stands up and clas like a little trained circus seal. This is, I'm telling you guys, they are telegraphing what they're going to do. They are going to cheat. Every accusation is a confession.

And so we as the opposition party must, must be taking this seriously. So then I look to the opposition party because Trump has told us, we're going to use ice. We're stockpiling weapons with ice. He's John, we've got to do something, assuming that's John Roberts, the chief justice of the Supreme Court. So I want to look to the Democratic leadership. What are you going to do? How seriously are you taking this? Because this is something that is non-negotiable.

Elections are non-negotiable. So let's see what the Democrats are going to do about it. DCCC rakes in millions from Palantir lobbyists as protest target the company's ICE surveillance tools. Oh, so you're telling me, Hakeem Jeffries, they're taking money from Palantir, Alex Carp, and Peter Thiel, the coked-up billionaires that don't pay taxes that want to dismantle American democracy. and our opposition party is taking money from Palantir and feeding it to other Democrats. Are you serious right now? I'm just going to say it. I'm going to say it right now.

Hakeem Jeffries is compromised and he needs to resign. Serious members of the Progressive Caucus have got to quit playing Patty Cake with this guy. He is a corporate dim through and through and he is a fascist collaborator. There's no question that Chuck Schumer is as well, but we will not retain our democracy with the Democratic Party taking money from Palantir. We are not going to retain our country with the Democratic Party taking donations from APAC. Let's look at it like this. Who did Palantir want to win as president of the United States?

Trump. They wanted Trump to win so badly. Peter Till bought and purchased J.D. Vance and installed him because he's younger and more diabolical than Trump because they do not want democracy anymore. But they're also so diabolical. They're controlling the opposition. We have paid, controlled corporate dims. So every time you get on here and you watching the news and you want to pull your hair out, why aren't the Democrats doing anything? they're not doing anything because Representative Hakeem Jeffries takes money from Palantir and gives it to other candidates. And so here's an excerpt from this article. Pop this up.

In January alone, January of 2026, last month, you guys, more than a dozen lobbyists with firms representing Palantir bundled a combined $2.9 million for the deal. According to a newly filed FEC disclosure, the January Hall from Palantir's lobbying firms represents 38% of the D-Triple-C's total contributions for the month. The corporate Dems are in on it. The fix is in. This is, I don't want to hear from any progressive caucus member in the House. that, oh, we support Hakeem Jeffries because he doesn't support you. He is paid, controlled

opposition, and we have to be, we have to open up our eyes and be completely clear about this. I get no joy. I do not like this. I don't like the fact that the Democratic Party has shifted so much. They care more about Palantir than they do about American workers. And the lie with that is just so, it's even more diabolical because at least we know Trump's a piece of shit. But the Democrats, at least get in front of a camera and say, we're going to service Palantir first and we're going to service APEC first. We'll get to the people later. We'll throw in some harm reduction measures to make you all feel better. This is utterly disgraceful. Hakeem Jeffries needs to resign. Chuck Schumer needs to resign. The progressive members of both,

the Senate and the House need to get their shit together and force them out now. Trump is saying it. He's calling it. They're going to cheat. They are going to cheat. He's calling on John. We have to make sure this doesn't happen, John. That's John Roberts.

Get serious. How can Hakeem Jeffries give a shit about the American workers if he's taking money from Palantir? He can't. And we all have to open up our eyes to this. The corporate Dems are controlled opposition. Chuck Schumer is controlled opposition, and it gets worse, you guys. It gets worse.

Pop this up. Matthew Edie recently discovered how A-PAC is hiding its donations. Using three campaigns for, you guessed it, Hakeem Jeffries, aka AAPAC Shakur, I created a graphic to help you understand how the secret campaigns are structured and why you won't be able to see APAC and FEC filings, but APAC will still be able to track donations through unique IDs and show candidates how much their network has donated to buy pro-Israel votes. And here is the graph. You can see it here, APAC. And then we have the democracy engine, three of these that are funneled through Hakeem Jeffries. So let's review here.

Keep this up. Hakeem Jeffries is Palantir first. Hakeem Jeffries is Israel first. How can Hakeem Jeffries care about immigrant children when he doesn't care about Palestinian children and he takes money from a genocidal government that's ran by a war criminal, a far-right fascist, war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu that funded Hamas. And then you see all this money they're filtering in to candidates. And so here's how it works, you guys. A-PAC directs its donors to the pro-Israel network website via email campaigns.

And then the pro-Israel network uses democracy engine as its payment processor. That's A-PAC Shakur. That's Hakeem-Jeffries. And then donations are recorded as... individual donations from Democracy Engine. In the back end, each pro-Israel network campaign is recorded with a unique ID. I need to say this as clearly as possible. Maga is not fucking around.

Peter Thiel is not fucking around. Elon Musk is not fucking around. These people are serious about the destructive. of American democracy and they have the money to do it. And they shouldn't have Hakeem Jeffries to do it. The Democratic Party needs to stand for something and it cannot stand for diabolical corporations that don't pay taxes. The Democratic Party cannot be for a blank check to Israel who is run by a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu. We cannot be this party. This is a uniparty.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are controlled opposition, full stop. They take money for MAGA donors. And then they get on camera and lie to the American people. And you might say, Jennifer, quit browbeating Democrats. I can get on here all day long and I can browbeat Republicans because tomorrow Trump's going to do something more illegal, more unethical, more unethical. ethical. He's going to cover up more child rape stuff from the Epstein files. It's going to happen every single day. And the Republicans are going to allow him to do it. But the Democrats have to be in

opposition. And when you find out the Democratic leadership is taking money from Palantir and APEC, and God knows who else. And then you keep thinking, why aren't they putting up a resistance? Why aren't they opposing him at every turn? Why aren't they saying abolish eyes? Why aren't they saying, No more blank check to Israel. No, we're stopping that. Absolutely not cooperating with a war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. And so you start realizing it is a uniparty. You know Howard Letnik, might as touch refers to as Howard Nutlick. So just in Trump 1.0, you know who he's supported for president?

Pop this up, Seth, Hillary Clinton. In 2015, Howard Letnick hosted a. fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential run. Now he's Trump's Secretary of Commerce. What happened, Howard? How do you go from supporting Hillary Clinton to being Trump's most trained sycophonic, clapping little seal? Oh, I know. You were in the Epstein files. And it seems like everybody in the Epstein files somehow Trump and everybody got the messaging out. And also, is there that big of a difference now if these billionaires can just jump from Hillary to Trump? Is there that big of a difference there?

Really, we have to look at this. The only thing Democrats offer us is harm reduction. But they just, it is corporations first, Israel first, all of these other things first. And then, yeah, we'll throw in some harm reduction to make Democrats feel better. And so somebody put this and the author of this is, anonymous, but I thought this is the most important message that we all have to realize right now. And I want to say, I have been going through a political evolution on this. When you lose a presidential race against a man who was a convicted felon, who incited a violent

insurrection at the Capitol whose supporters wanted to hang a white Christian Republican named Mike Pence, I found that to all be very dangerous in thinking these people should never have the keys to the federal government again. So when the Democrats ran in 2024 and lost, I had to think, why do we keep losing to this man? What is it? What is it? Well, it is that the Democrats service corporations first. And working class Americans feel that. They feel it. They feel the narratives that the corporations with a major assist from the Republican Party and a kind of gotcha, you know, hoodwink assist from the Democratic Party. Oh, you can't have high wages. You can't get any services, but we're also going to blame you and scapegoat you for all the national deficits and all of these programs.

And this person summed up what's happening perfectly. And I think that all of this has happened at a very rapid rate in a very short period of time. This is what has happened to the Democratic base. So join me in reading this. Pop this up. For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly, but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less win almost every fight and that they start by bargaining from the center position and moving right.

And eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts. The Democrats are not overmatched. They aren't weak. They aren't cowards. They are complicit. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are fascist collaborators. You cannot be an opposition party when you take money from the evil entities that want to dismantle American democracy.

You cannot. You are not qualified to lead the opposition, period. I am calling on every progressive member of the House of Representatives to unseat Hakeem Jeffries from his chair. He is compromised. The fix is in. The same goes for gutless Chuck Schumer. They are ineffectual. Trump is going to cheat. ISIS stockpiling weapons. They are killing American citizens. They are buying billions of dollars worth of warehouses to store people in. This is called a concentration camp. This is serious. We have to have all hands on deck.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer need to go and they need to go immediately. This is a 911. The House is literally on fire. Please call the progressive members of the House of Representatives and the Senate and tell them to buck up buttercups. This is serious. We want fighters. We want an opposition party.

We want to save American democracy. I'll be back later with more news.
