This Week on The Stakes:

We WON The Webby's!

We dove into the pro-natalist movement — the push to “persuade” women to have more children, and how it’s tied to eugenics, tech-world obsession, religious extremism, and Opus Dei’s role in selecting the next Pope. We also break down RFK Jr.’s alarming autism registry proposal, Trump’s collapsing approval numbers, the worsening economy, and Pete Buttigieg’s strategic 3-hour appearance on a far-right podcast — and why he’s still one of the most gifted political communicators of our time.

VOTE SENECA PROJECT'S "AMERICAN GIRL" FOR A 2025 WEBBY AWARD!

https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVo...


This week, the red flags are no longer warnings — they’re sirens:

🚨 Treason? Donald Trump revokes security clearances from two former DHS officials — Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor — and orders DOJ investigations into their work. A chilling authoritarian move to punish dissent.

📉 Markets respond as Wall Street finally wakes up to the existential threat of a second Trump term.

🗳️ The SAVE Act is a not-so-subtle voter suppression bill cloaked in “election integrity.”

📕 And Miles Taylor, formerly “Anonymous,” calls it what it is: creeping fascism—and a preview of what’s to come.
