Now Streaming: CORRUPTIONLAND 🎥 You can trace the BILLIONS of dollars worth of corruption via the doc and website. 🔗📌 in comments.

Taylor: We're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in corruption that we have documented...There's not gonna be this quick, easy fix button on, you know, January 21st, 2029 to undo all of this. It's gonna take a lot of work. CORRUPTIONLAND | Streams Oct 27

“Widespread, rank corruption.” Trump's Washington has become a case study in it, and voters are fed up. So we spent months trying to make sense of the sheer scale of it. Now, we're putting it all on the record with CORRUPTIONLAND. Streaming Oct 27.

November can't come soon enough....

Maybe we're being too harsh. How do you think she did?

If we send them a fruit basket, do we get the other 3 MILLION?!? Get serious.

After Alva Johnson spoke out, she faced everything from death threats to having to face Trump in court. If she's not backing down, neither should we.

Election deniers are already talking to their sheriffs. With the midterms coming up, let’s not make it a one-sided conversation. That's why this week, DEFIANCE members made sure sheriffs heard from them, too. Did the mission? Claim your badge.

We didn’t set out to do a podcast. We set out to defy Trump. But I’m glad folks want answers to the question: “WHAT CAN I DO?” Thank you for listening but — more than that — for taking ACTION.

An appeals court just handed Trump another loss in his voter roll crusade. It rejected Trump's request to rehear the DOJ's case for seizing Michigan's unredacted voter file—allowing a June decision against the DOJ to stand. More news:

The Trump family’s crypto business was just approved to establish a bank charter. Yup, he’s about to be an actual bank now. It’s a first in US history, adding another corruption-related record to Trump’s sordid collection. More news: https://www.defiance.news/p/trump-just-put-america-on-thin-ice

Trump's making empty accusations again. The nonprofit fighting his illegal ballroom? “Treasonists.” The dead grass on the National Mall, where his July 4 stage was? “Vandals.” If his attacks move from social media into court, our REAL Anti-Weaponization Fund is prepared to help.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago investigated a Democratic fundraising firm co-owned by the daughter of the judge in Trump’s hush-money trial—the trial that ended with 34 felony convictions for Trump. Coincidence? Lol. More news:

Todd Blanche said of Trump: “It’s my job to talk to him...which I have done for many years, and I will continue to do.” But for those “many years,” he worked for Trump as his attorney—not for Americans as ours. Big difference. More news:

"The president can name an enemy, target their speech, and wiretap them without a judge’s approval" Read Miles’ latest newsletter, where he reveals how the Comey case raises a chilling question: how many Trump critics are being watched?

Before we head to our first city, we had to let Trump know we were here #releasethefiles

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR): “Todd Blanche is not fit to serve as attorney general of the United States!”

Danielle Bensky, Epstein survivor: “The numbers speak for themselves. Over 1,000 victims…3.5 million files released…6 million files full of investigative leads…5 administrations…30 years of evidence. Zero—ZERO—criminal investigations.”

Alva Johnson, Trump accuser: “We should not have to be the most courageous people here. So for Tillis and for Cornyn and for any of the other Republicans…every single day is a new day for you to make a better decision than what you’ve done before.”

Liz Stein, Epstein survivor: “A system built by Jeffrey Epstein & his co-conspirators around power, coercion, exploitation, and access to wealth & influence. Many Americans still don’t understand what that means, because if they did, they'd never accept the way the Epstein files have been handled.”

Cheyenne Hunt, Executive Director of Reckoning Action: “We have seen the Epstein accomplices named and face no accountability for their egregious crimes. Now, we’re on the cusp of elevating one of those men, who was complicit in this cover-up, to the position of attorney general.”

Jena-Lisa Jones, Epstein survivor: “My experience has reinforced my belief that no one should be above the law, and that every survivor deserves to be heard, respected, and treated with dignity. This is why I strongly oppose Todd Blanche serving as attorney general.”

Sky Roberts, brother of Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre: “Todd Blanche, the American people weren’t born yesterday, and justice doesn’t run out of leads.”

Amanda Roberts, sister-in-law of Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre: “These pages are the physical evidence of human suffering. Behind every document is a person, a survivor, a life that was damaged while people in positions of power looked away.”

Danielle Bensky, Epstein survivor: “Let’s be clear: the only perpetrator Todd [Blanche] has met with was moved to a lower-security penitentiary, where she does yoga and eats Brie cheese.”

Sharlene Rochard, Epstein survivor: “Todd Blanche has not led a criminal investigation. He has been in charge of a criminal cover-up by the very department we are told to trust.”
