George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇
Sarah Matthews: "Trump has not delivered on his economic promises that he campaigned on — that he would lower prices. In fact, his tariffs and other economic policies have made it worse…Affordability is the number one issue for voters, and they seem to be failing on it."

Sarah Matthews: "No one can take up the mantle and lead the MAGA movement in the way that Trump has, because he's an enigma. JD Vance can try all he wants, as I'm sure he will when he runs for president in 2028. But I just don't see it happening."

Sarah Matthews: "Trump says we're in the Golden Age of America, but it's more like the Gilded Age. The policies that he's putting forward are benefiting Trump, his rich allies, and his families…and he can't understand why people are out there complaining about affordability."

"We should take over the oil fields. It's very easy to do."

Donald Trump promised to be a peacetime president. So why is he preparing for a regime change war in Venezuela?

Dave Smith: "Donald Trump was always a seedy guy…cheating on his pregnant wife with porn stars…There's a videotape of him talking about how Jeffrey Epstein loves the women, and he loves them really young."
December 15, 2025 at 9:50 PM
Ben Shapiro: "The President's tariff policy is widely unpopular…He was speaking in Pennsylvania and he was again repeating this line that you don't need 37 dolls for your daughter…There are a lot of Americans who would like to buy toys for their kids."
December 15, 2025 at 9:30 PM
Megyn Kelly: "What was the first big thing that we saw this DOJ do? It was the Epstein thing. It was Pam Bondi needing to see herself on TV, running around saying 'the files are on my desk.'…And then 'Oh, there's nothing.'…We were told to move on, and it's been very tough."
December 15, 2025 at 8:09 PM
Ben Shapiro: "The reality is that Republicans have never had a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare…2026 looks like it is going to be pretty ugly for Republicans…Republicans who are pretending away the vulnerability that they have electorally here are missing the point."

"This year’s match-up is taking place in the shadow of a mission our troops did not sign up for: domestic deployment on US soil."

The White House is promising to announce a new healthcare plan "very soon." We've heard that one before...

Nicolle Wallace: "What is your message to Americans?"

Martina Navratilova: "It's the people who can most afford to stand up to Trump…that capitulate. And people that can least afford it and are living paycheck to paycheck are the ones that stand up…So don't be a coward."
December 11, 2025 at 12:02 AM
Martina Navratilova: "Do the right thing. We know what we are capable of. We know who we are. Look in the mirror: are you doing enough? Can you do more? Whether it's local or national…don't pass the buck."
December 11, 2025 at 12:01 AM
Martina Navratilova: "I came here because of that shinning city on the hill — it was such an amazing country. I wouldn't be coming here now. It's still an amazing country, but I don't know if I would be able to get citizenship because they keep changing the rules."
December 11, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Martina Navratilova on speaking up against Trump: "What happened to our American humanity? Compassion? Caring about the world? Caring about your neighbor?…Not doing anything is just not an option. Being quiet is just not an option."

Martina Navratilova joins @nicollewallace.bsky.social.bsky.social to discuss her work with @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social speaking out against the Trump administration.

"I don't mince words, do I? I never could."

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social : "Susie Wiles is saying she wants to put Trump on the ballot. Please, God, put that guy on the ballot because…people that turn out in midterms, they despise Trump…If we go into 2026 with an economy like this or worse, it's going to be a bloodbath."
December 10, 2025 at 11:06 PM
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "There's nothing like a groggy-sounding billionaire telling you that you need fewer things…Voters absolutely know this is Trump's economy…Nobody thinks things are getting less expensive, and everyone knows prices are going up…because of Trump's tariffs."
December 10, 2025 at 10:56 PM
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: “People are talking about Trump’s declining health, his declining mental acuity. And it’s something that’s bothering him…Swing voters will tell you we’ve got a gerontocracy in this country. Our leaders are too old and we need a new generation of leadership.”

Businesses across the country, small and large, are warning that Trump's tariff costs may hit consumers in the New Year.

Companies like Eric’s are already feeling the squeeze as they struggle to stay afloat without raising prices.

Mike Fanone: "Donald Trump will do whatever Donald Trump needs to do to stay out of prison and continue to enrich himself, and if that means that he has to bypass the legal standards of our elections, I believe he would most certainly do that."
December 9, 2025 at 7:25 PM
Mike Fanone: "All of these conspiratorial rabbit holes spawned from the Epstein files and this idea that there's this child predator ring within the U.S.…And now you're seeing that it's very likely that, at best, Donald Trump is covering up for this behavior and these actions."
