Squad Member Rep. Pramila Jayapal Launches ‘Resistance Lab’ to Fight Trump’s ‘Dictatorship

Far-left squad member Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has revealed she is part of a ”resistance lab” to fight the Trump administration.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Jayapal was shown attending a training session where she warned that the country was facing the “crumbling of democracy.”

“It appears that the Trump administration is willing to ignore judicial decisions and so that brings us to you in this room,” she said.

”It brings us to the people that is really, the bulwark, the wall against the crumbling of democracy.

“Help me understand this idea of the resistance lab and what you’re talking about in practical terms at these events,” Maddow asked her during the interview.

”Yeah I mean, what we decided is that we really need to help Americans understand what happens when democracies fall when dictators take over,” Jayapal responded.

”We’ve been pretty complacent in America.,” she continued. “We haven’t had to really deal with this in any real way.

“Now I think people need to understand what are the lessons from other countries and working with experts who have studied democratic backsliding in countries around the world and the resistance movements that emerged to take on that democratic backsliding. “

Spain’s Vox Party Spokesperson Faces Hate-Crime Probe After Calling Out Link Between Immigration & Crime

A Spanish conservative lawmaker is facing a hate crime investigation after a press conference in which he highlighted the link between mass immigration and rising crime rates — a connection supported by official data but often ignored by Spain’s far-left administration.

José Antonio Fúster, national spokesman for the populist Vox party and member of the Madrid Assembly, addressed the media on July 29 last year, where he read out the forenames of several dozen individuals arrested during violent incidents in Barcelona that weekend.

“Sabar, Omar, Nassim, Abdelkader, Salah, Salah, Younes, Karim, Jamil, Amir, Ali, Oussama, Hassan… I can go on. Do you notice any patterns? Do you notice anything?” Fúster asked.

“We do, and this is what we have been denouncing for a long time, that the open-door policy of the Popular Party and the PSOE has direct consequences on the security of Spaniards,” he added.

Though the list he read had the surnames redacted and had already circulated online via party channels, his public use of it has led the National Police to file a report for alleged incitement to hatred. Fúster, protected by parliamentary immunity as a sitting deputy, expressed disbelief upon receiving the notification last week and doubled down on his comments.

“We’re constantly told that immigration and crime have no link,” Fúster said, as cited by Spanish digital newspaper The Objective. 

“But they’re not fooling anyone. The criminals that Spaniards endure in their neighborhoods have names — and we all know them.”

Vox maintains that spurious criminal complaints are part of a wider effort to silence those who raise valid security concerns. The party highlighted charges against MP Rocío de Meer last year for writing, “The future of this country is dark,” in response to the birth of a child named Ayoub in a rural Spanish village, and Jordi de la Fuente, another Vox figure, who is awaiting trial over a 2019 protest targeting an asylum center.

‘I Hope Nobody Taped That’: Democrat Spills Beans About Party’s Anti-Trump Protest Strategy

A newly surfaced video from a Washtenaw County (Michigan) Democratic Party gathering has pulled back the curtain on the left’s latest efforts to obstruct President Donald Trump. The event, titled “Democratic Responses to Trump’s Attacks & Lessons Learned from 2024 MI House Races,” was a rallying cry for progressive activists and Democratic organizers looking for a strategy to fight Trump’s policies and influence.

The video captures Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell and others openly discussing ways to counter Trump’s agenda. Their focus wasn’t limited to winning elections—they were plotting ways to undermine Trump at every opportunity. The discussion made it clear that they view Trump as an existential threat to their political priorities and are committed to stopping him through any means available.

Dingell, in particular, laid out a detailed approach to obstructing Trump, emphasizing the need for a tactical, multi-front assault. “We need to make sure it’s in every one of those damn conservative, wherever they’re communicating, and we have to be the voices that are smart, targeted, and effective, and fighting back. And the way we do it. We litigate. We legislate. We only need three votes, three Republican votes. I don’t know that we can ever get the person that’s closest to us, but he is chair of Ed and Labor, but we need to be targeting someone that may want to run for governor,” Dingell said.

She then laid out what she described as a five-pronged approach to countering Trump’s policies. “I’m not gonna give you names so I can’t get in total trouble but take your brain one little bit. We need to be targeting all that. Then we need to be educating, that’s raising the stories, that’s telling people what is happening. We’ve got to be advocating, and we gotta be communicating. So that’s the five-prong strategy: litigate, legislate, educate, advocate, communicate,” Dingell stated.

The comments reveal a well-organized Democratic effort that extends beyond traditional political battles. Democrats are preparing a full-spectrum offensive designed to tie up Trump’s policies in court, push aggressive legislative battles, shape public perception through storytelling, and mobilize activists in coordinated protests and lobbying efforts.

Liberal MP Paul Chiang encouraged the abduction of his political opponent. He must be fired!

“Bring him to the Chinese consulate — there’s a million-dollar bounty.”

That’s what Liberal MP Paul Chiang admitted he told a room full of ethnic media, referring to Joe Tay, a Conservative candidate and Canadian citizen, who’s been targeted by a HK$1 million bounty issued by the Hong Kong Police.

Let’s be absolutely clear: this is not a joke. Chiang needs to be fired, and if you agree, please sign the petition.

This is a sitting Member of Parliament encouraging transnational repression on Canadian soil — encouraging people to help the Chinese Communist Party hunt down a Canadian political opponent.

“This is shocking,” said Cheuk Kwan of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China.

And he’s right.

But Paul Chiang’s betrayal isn’t new — it’s just the latest chapter in a pattern of foreign interference and Liberal complicity.

Beijing meddled in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, backing “China-friendly” Liberals to defeat strong Conservative voices like Kenny Chiu, who dared to call out the Chinese regime’s abuses and tried to bring in a foreign influence registry.

China used WeChat propaganda, targeted disinformation, and community mobilization to tilt key ridings.

And now, ahead of the next federal election, it’s happening again.

Meanwhile, eleven parliamentarians have been implicated in foreign interference — and not one name has been released.

Why? Because the Liberals are too busy protecting their own. Too busy coronating a new leader in a questionable race that excluded 2/3rds of the people wanting to vote, and in a campaign that the Liberals themselves said was contaminated by foreign interference. Too busy proroguing Parliament during a tariff war to pull off a power grab to enact any of the recommendations of the foreign interference commission.

And who did they crown in that suspicious leadership election?

Mark Carney, Trudeau’s unelected successor — a man whose firm, Brookfield, secured a $250 million loan from a Chinese bank just weeks after he became Trudeau’s chief economic advisor.

Foreign interference. Transnational repression. Backroom leadership takeovers. And a Liberal MP joking about handing over his opponent to the dictatorship that’s actively attacking Canadian democracy.

If a Conservative said this, they’d be gone in a heartbeat. But because it’s a Liberal, the media shrugs — and the Prime Minister stays silent.

Lawlessness in Texas: RINO Texas House Speaker Caught Fabricating Quorum — Caught Red-Handed Counting 40 Absent Lawmakers as ‘Present’ Breaking State Law

Under the feckless and corrupt leadership of RINO House Speaker Dustin Burrows, the Texas House of Representatives has descended into absolute lawlessness.

On Friday, the House chamber was scheduled to convene, but what unfolded was not democracy in action—it was a brazen sham orchestrated by the very person sworn to uphold the Constitution.

Speaker Burrows, a so-called “Republican,” was caught red-handed falsifying quorum by counting 40 absent lawmakers as “present” in a desperate attempt to ram through proceedings in violation of Texas law.

The Texas Constitution is clear: Two-thirds, or 100 members, must be present to establish a quorum in the 150-member chamber. And yet, Speaker Burrows, in full-blown swamp mode, attempted to manipulate the electronic voting system to fake quorum numbers, allowing business to continue unlawfully.

“There were only 63 that bothered to show up today,” said Rep. Brian Harrison (R–Midlothian), the conservative firebrand who exposed the fraud in real-time. Harrison demanded a verification vote—and the results were damning. Only 65 members could be verified. That’s not even close to the 100 required.

“House “leadership” tried to take votes anyway. I objected and demanded verification.” Harrison added.

Every member was notified over a week ago, on March 20, that Friday’s session was happening. Yet most couldn’t be bothered to show up, and Burrows tried to paper over their laziness with a lie.

The Democrats Are the Party of Hate

Back in the Vietnam War era, many protesters on college campuses were proud Democrats who chanted slogans about “peace” and “love.” They flashed the peace sign and railed about the war and police brutality while professing support for “free speech.”

Never mind that the Vietnam War was escalated by a Democrat President and ended by a Republican President, these protesters claimed that they were “non-violent” and that the federal government, and especially Republican politicians, were trying to limit their freedoms.

Flash forward to today and the political world has totally changed. Democrats have become the pro-war party. For example, the only part of President Donald Trump’s recent speech to Congress that Democrats applauded was his statement about support for Ukraine. Under President Joe Biden, nothing was done to end the war in Ukraine, only prolong it.

Democrats hate President Trump’s outreach to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his attempts to end the Ukraine war. They continually slander President Trump and claim he is “Putin’s puppet.” Of course, the truth is the antithesis of these ludicrous charges by warmonger Democrats. No President has been tougher toward Russia than Trump. The difference is that Trump wants peace and Democrats do not.

Trump has been a lightning rod for unhinged Democrats since the day he descended the golden escalators and announced his first presidential campaign. The epidemic of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has never subsided.

In the 2016 campaign, there were multiple instances of violent Democrats attacking Trump supporters at his rallies across the country. In the 2020 campaign, leftists attacked police, burned buildings, and committed detestable violence in the “summer of love,” which was inspired by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Nihilistic Democrats Are “Trying To Put Themselves Out Of Existence”

Political commentator Victor Davis Hanson asserted during a Fox News appearance that Democrats are doing their best to put the Party out of its misery.

Hanson highlighted that more moderate leftists are jumping ship in droves while the Party is only retaining the most batshit crazy radical base with its actions.

“They’re polling about 27 percent approval,” Hanson noted, adding “They’re doubling down on street theater. They’re disrupting Congress. They’re issuing smutty videos.”

“They’re doing all these crazy nihilistic things as they drive down their approval rating,” he further urged.

“But the weird thing is, their base apparently wants more of it,” Hanson noted.

The commentator added, “They’re trying to, I guess, put themselves out of existence. It’s kind of the counterpart to what we watched for four years. Lawfare with Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fanny Willis, Jack Smith — and all that did was ensure Donald Trump was going to be elected.”

When Judges Violate the Constitution

Leftist judges want to turn President Donald Trump into a president in name only.

Look at all the ways that individual judges have hamstrung the Trump administration. A district court judge recently blocked President Trump’s executive order removing transgender individuals from the military. Another judge ordered the Trump administration to send two men who are pretending to be women into a women’s prison. One federal judge ordered the administration to restore government webpages that promote the left’s transgender narrative.

A different district court judge stopped the Trump administration from disbanding the wasteful USAID. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appointed Jeremy Lewin to a high-level position in USAID. The judge later ruled that Lewin wasn’t allowed to serve in that role.

Last weekend, another federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deporting illegal immigrant gang members. He even unsuccessfully attempted to force them to turn around flights that were already in the air. These examples are only the tip of the judicial overreach iceberg.

Now, all presidential administrations face lawsuits, but what’s happening here is well beyond historical norms. In his four years in office, former President Joe Biden’s administration received 14 federal injunctions. In less than two months, judges have already hit the Trump administration with more than that.

These rulings are an affront to the Constitution. Article II gives “executive power” to the president, who is also “Commander in Chief” of the military. Yet, according to some federal judges, the judiciary is in charge of the executive branch’s military policy, hiring, spending decisions and deportation flights. The Trump administration can’t even take down a website.

Contrast that judicial activism with what Alexander Hamilton laid out in Federalist 78.

“The judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power,” he wrote. And “it can never attack with success either of the other two.”

But, Hamilton warned, while “liberty can have nothing to fear from the judiciary alone,” it “would have everything to fear from its union with either of the other departments.”

That’s what some district court judges are attempting to do. These unelected, unaccountable judges are attempting to upend the constitutional order.

Israel In Turmoil After Netanyahu Sacks Security Chief In Historic First

Political turmoil has engulfed the Israeli government, and spilled into the streets as anti-Netanyahu protesters are once again outraged. But this time it’s over the unprecedented firing of the head of Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, Shin Bet. It marks the first time in history that a government has fired the Shin Bet’s leader.

Starting a week ago Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had lost confidence in Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. And then by week’s end his shock firing with the following statement: “The Israeli government, which is in charge of the Shin Bet, has lost all confidence in Ronen Bar, who continues to cling to his seat while cynically using the families of the kidnapped and politically incorrect use of his position to fabricate futile, unfounded investigations.”

“Ronen had the opportunity to retire with honor after his searing failure on October 7 … But [he] preferred not to attend the government meeting dealing with his case,” the statement continued.

Bar’s supporters, who are demonstrating against his sacking in the thousands, believe he’s serving as a scapegoat for Netanyahu’s own policy failures.

But the prime minister’s office has followed with on Friday, “The government unanimously approved prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal to end ISA [Israeli Security Agency] director Ronen Bar’s term of office.” Over all the PM’s office is citing lack of trust in Bar.

Bar too has described his dismissal as ultimately motivated by Netanyahu’s “personal interests”. In a letter he strongly suggested the problems which led to the security failures of Oct.7 originated from the top: “a policy of quiet had enabled Hamas to undergo massive military buildup” – he said of the lead-up to the terror attack on southern Israel.

He added: “The dismissal of the head of the service at this time at the initiative of the Prime Minister sends a message to all those involved, a message that could put the optimal outcome of the investigation at risk. This is a direct danger to the security of the State of Israel.”

Bar’s tenure was supposed to extend and end next year, and has been investigating Netanyahu’s close aides for alleged breaches of national security. This includes allegations of selective leaks given to the media in order to improve the Netanyahu government’s image.

Bar is charging that Netanyahu’s firing him is about covering up serious problems in the administration, including “prevent investigations into the events leading up to October 7 and other serious matters.”

Political Violence on the Rise Across America as the Left SWATs Reporters in Conservative Media

Trump’s attorney general is not playing around with whoever is behind the politically motivated attacks on Tesla dealerships and other properties connected to President Trump’s DOGE director Elon Musk.

AG Pam Bondi released a statement last night in which she used the “T” word, terrorism, to describe the attacks.

“The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences. We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.”

But Bondi is coming under fire for not responding quite as aggressively to another series of incidents that have gone down lately in which the victims are not as well-known or well-connected as Elon Musk.

Members of America’s conservative media are getting “swatted” at an alarming rate in recent weeks and one was murdered.
