Tonight, I’m not just tired—I’m charged with purpose.

Because today, I stood in the middle of something historic: over 100,000 people poured into the streets to take a stand against Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the policies threatening our democracy, economy, and civil liberties.

I was there—not watching from a screen or filtering the story through a corporate lens. I interviewed members of Congress, protest leaders, and everyday Americans who refuse to stay silent. And I did it without a network, without a sponsor, and without a safety net—just a camera, a notebook, and a commitment to truth.

This is what independent journalism looks like: unfiltered, on the ground, and powered by the people. No billionaires. No gatekeepers. Just a deep belief that the truth matters—and that someone has to be there to tell it.

I don’t have a full evening update (still chasing stories from the protest), but here are some breaking headlines you should know:

🗞 Quick Updates:
