The first rule of Fight Trump’s Revenge Club: NEVER BACK DOWN.
The second rule of Fight Trump’s Revenge Club: Seriously…NEVER. BACK. DOWN.
Mike Nellis knows this firsthand.
After news broke over the weekend revealing just how far Trump’s DOJ went in its investigation of his company, Authentic Campaigns, Mike joins us to talk about what happened when he refused to roll over.
And it looks like Disney is finally learning the same lesson. After bending the knee and writing Trump a $16 million check, he only came back for more. Now, with his FCC on their backs, they’re taking him to court.
We’re also heading to Big Bend, where resistance to Trump’s $1.7 billion border project has managed to do something neither Congress nor the courts have done yet: stop the bulldozers.
For now.
Ramón Rodríguez Aranda and Laiken Jordahl join us from Texas on how they got the bulldozers to stop and what it will take to keep them that way. Want to get involved? Visit NOBIGBENDWALL.ORG.
And we close today by honoring one of our own.❤️
