DEFIANCE Daily

Thank you Philippe du Col, joe alter, Karen L Burke, Jami, Julie, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.

Hello DEFIANCE.org Members & supporters —

FIRST, save the date for this Weds, Dec 10 @ 5PM ET / 2PM PT for our next Weekly Mission Briefing. The topic? “Going on Offense.” These briefings are when we roll out our weekly actions, including announcing groups we are supporting as a club and actions YOU can take to fight back. As always, the program will stream LIVE here on YouTube and here on Substack. (Like every week, we’ll announce a killer surprise.)

SECOND, we hope you’ll tune into DEFIANCE Daily at 5p ET on all the other weekdays, not just Wednesday! Today’s episode is linked above. Each day, we go through the news of the day that matters to the DEFIANCE community. We’re still testing the time slot (in place of our morning radio program). You can tune in LIVE each day this week at 5pm ET on our Members page at www.DEFIANCE.News, and we’ll post the episodes online afterwords.

THIRD, today we covered the most UNDER-reported story of the week. The Justice Department is pressuring the FBI to ramp up investigations into “anti-American,” “anti-capitalist,” and “anti-Christian” groups. You’d be right to read that and think, “Gee, that sounds unconstitutional.” That’s because it is. And we brought on journalist Ken Klippenstein to talk about the shocking new report on the order for the FBI to start pulling together a list of “extremist” groups that meet these criteria. We’re tracking this story closely.

Thank you, as always, friends for your courage. If you’re a paying Member, you’re making a VERY REAL difference in fighting back against the Trump regime’s abuses of power. If you haven’t watched or read last month’s recap, you can do so here (access is limited to Members only).

Your friend,

P.S. Thank you Philippe du Col, Steve Muratore, Julie, Janet Carter, Just Dave 🕊️4 Justice USAF VET, and many others for tuning into our daily broadcast LIVE!

Thank you John Liccione, Robin Payes, Wendy E, Stephanie Munoz, Jeanne Elbe, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.

This morning, I hosted another episode of DEFIANCE Radio, our LIVE morning news broadcast, featuring top stories about threats to America from within.

If you can believe it, the boat strikes controversy continues — and it continues to get worse for the Trump administration.

New reporting shows that the Pentagon not only knew there were survivors from the boat strike against alleged drug smugglers on Sept 2, but that they were alive for more than an hour and climbed back into the boat before the decision was made to kill them…

Naturally, the words “war crime” are going to be staying in our vocabulary for a while…

What’s more, another report reveals that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed out the top general who oversees U.S. forces in the region where the boat strikes have been happening, not long after the admiral questioned the legality of the orders…

And all of this is compounded by a report from the Pentagon inspector general, which found that Hegseth mishandled classified war plans and shared them via cell phone, possibly putting U.S. troops in danger…

Which is why Republicans in Congress are starting to grumble… and even suggesting Hegseth’s ouster… we’ll get to that…

Then I want to update you on what Democrats are doing to hold corporate feet to the fire over donations to Trump’s ballroom… you won’t be shocked to find that companies are not making those donations out of generosity or a love of ballroom dancing … but for something else…

And finally, our “who is joining the defiance” segment today has a great audio clip… the person who is joining the defiance just gave a smackdown lecture to cowardly business leaders who are too scared to stand up to Donald Trump… and that clip may show you why this person is angling not just to join the defiance, but to lead it…

This morning, I hosted another episode of DEFIANCE Radio, our LIVE morning news broadcast, featuring top stories about threats to America from within.

We covered the escalating scandal of the Trump regime’s boat strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific — and growing questions around the legality of multiple aspects of these strikes, which experts are now equating to state-sponsored murder.

This morning, I hosted another episode of DEFIANCE Radio, our LIVE morning news broadcast, featuring top stories about threats to America from within.

First, the boat strike scandal explodes again, with Pete Hegseth now scrambling to distance himself from an operation that’s looking less like counter-narcotics and more like state-authorized murder….

Then — a massive legal blow to the Trump Justice Department. A federal appeals court says the president’s hand-picked prosecutor in New Jersey is serving unlawfully, potentially undermining major cases across the country…

And speaking of those prosecutions — the DOJ now weighing new charges against James Comey and Letitia James after their first indictments collapsed.

Plus — new reporting shows Donald Trump’s presidential schedule is shrinking fast. The White House lashes out, calls it “fake news,” and reveals he secretly underwent an MRI.

Those and more stories on today’s broadcast.

This morning, I hosted another episode of DEFIANCE Radio, our LIVE morning news broadcast, featuring top stories about threats to America from within.

Last week may have been one of the most controversial, corrupt, and turbulent weeks of the Trump presidency… and maybe that was by design. While Americans were tuning out for Thanksgiving…

The Administration came under fire after news surfaced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered survivors of U.S. airstrikes in the Caribbean murdered, in apparent violation of the laws of war…exactly the kind of “illegal order” top Democrats have been warning about…Trump announced plans to pardon a major drug kingpin, undercutting his narrative of fighting the flow of drugs into America…

The President announced he’s shutting the door to asylum seekers and might strip American citizenship from people who emigrated here from Third World countries…

Two new bombshell reports revealed how the Trump family is using the presidency to get richer, including a “peace plan” in Ukraine that appears designed as a cash-grab for Trump and friends…

The White House created a new platform to attack and intimidate the free press…

And new reports shed harsh light on Trump’s record-shattering revenge campaign.

This morning, I hosted another episode of DEFIANCE Radio, our LIVE 7:30 a.m. morning news broadcast, featuring top stories about threats to America from within.

We hit some really important stories, including…

Donald Trump is continuing to threaten lawmakers with death and imprisonment for urging government workers to refuse “illegal orders”…

The Washington Post has a BOMBSHELL report on the illegal boat strikes Trump is carrying out in the Caribbean…

The White House is puppeteering a corporate takeover of CNN, apparently so that the President can get anchors he doesn’t like fired…

Trump allies are still trying to use the Justice Department as a piggy bank…

And one of Trump’s revenge teams as been quietly dismantled … that’s right … this one might surprise you … stay tuned until the end.

This morning, I hosted another episode of DEFIANCE Radio, our LIVE morning news broadcast, featuring top stories about threats to America from within.

It was a very important one. Here’s why…

Yesterday, Donald Trump floated executing members of Congress for telling troops not to obey illegal orders … and Republicans were up in arms, taunting Democrats to come up with anything “illegal” Donald Trump has done…

Well, it turns out we’ve got some answers to that today…

In just 48 hours:

A federal judge called Trump’s troop deployment into D.C. ILLEGAL and ordered it halted immediately…

Military lawyers warned Trump’s Caribbean boat strikes may be ILLEGAL assassinations…

DOJ opened a probe into ILLEGAL impersonation of federal agents by Trump’s revenge operatives…

Another judge reopened a contempt inquiry into ILLEGAL deportation flights run in defiance of court orders…

And a massive new study shows Trump officials may have ILLEGALLY ignored court orders 26 times this year alone.
