Swalwell Says the Quiet Part Out Loud: Democrats Will Target Trump Supporters

The Left’s blacklist is no longer a secret.

Good Morning, it’s Tuesday, September 30th, 2025.

There it is. The mask slipped. Congressman Eric Swalwell went on CNN and said what Democrats usually only whisper behind closed doors: if they take back the House in 2026, they won’t just investigate Trump officials — they’ll come after you. Your business.

Your law firm. Your university. Your livelihood. Swalwell bragged about targeting “private actors” who cooperate with Trump’s administration, calling it “accountability.” But let’s be clear — that’s not accountability. That’s a political blacklist. That’s lawfare aimed directly at citizens who dare to associate with a president Democrats despise. For years, the Left has gaslit Americans into believing their witch hunts were about “protecting democracy.”

Now they’re openly promising to punish speech, punish work, punish anyone who refuses to bend the knee. This isn’t oversight. It’s persecution. And it proves one thing: the greatest threat to liberty in 2026 isn’t from mobs in the street — it’s from Democrats wielding congressional power like a weapon.

Swalwell Promises Democrats Will Target Trump Allies

California congressman openly threatens private citizens on CNN.

Eric Swalwell just said the quiet part out loud: if Democrats win back the House in 2026, they’ll weaponize subpoenas not just against Trump officials — but against any private citizen who dares work with his administration.

What You Need to Know:

On CNN, Swalwell told Kate Bolduan Democrats will go after “college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms,” and anyone doing “drug deals with the administration.” Translation: cooperate with Trump, expect a congressional witch hunt.

Why It Matters:

• Democrats aren’t just gunning for Trump — they want to make his supporters radioactive.

• This is lawfare on steroids: punishing political participation itself.

• If they can criminalize being associated with a president they hate, no conservative is safe.

The Real Story:

Swalwell made his threat while defending James Comey, who was indicted last week for lying to Congress about Trump-era testimony. Instead of addressing Comey’s alleged crimes, Swalwell pivoted to threatening Americans. He all but bragged: “Accountability is coming.”

Meanwhile, Trump’s winning streak in court tells the real story:

• CBS forked over $10 billion after deceptively editing a Kamala Harris interview.

• ABC cut Trump a $15 million check for Stephanopoulos’s on-air defamation.

• Major law firms quietly settled after Trump restricted their access to classified information over anti-conservative lawfare.

Swalwell’s threat isn’t hypothetical. It’s the roadmap: harass citizens, chill speech, and scare off any institution from working with Trump’s America First agenda. This is banana-republic politics with a D.C. zip code.

What They Don’t Want You To See:

“We will subpoena the Department of Justice, but also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration…” — Eric Swalwell, CNN

Bottom Line:

Swalwell just declared war on ordinary Americans who refuse to bend the knee. Democrats aren’t hiding it anymore — they’ll use power not to govern but to punish. The choice in 2026 won’t just be Trump vs. the swamp. It’s freedom vs. political persecution.

A Real Insurrection — Not the Capitol Play-Act

Matt Walsh: the Left’s street mobs aren’t protestors — they’re an insurgency, and the administration’s answer has been weak.

Walsh lays out the case plainly: while Democrats and the media obsessed over January 6, footage and incidents showing excessive force by officers were ignored, and conservatives who clashed with federal agents were punished. Now the reverse is happening — mobs in Portland, Broadview, and elsewhere are surrounding ICE vehicles, threatening agents, and livestreaming their crimes, while prosecutors and DHS issue fast apologies and suspensions when video lands on ProPublica or CNN.

He cites a string of moments that should alarm anyone who cares about order: the James O’Keefe pre-dawn raid, the Mark Houck standoff with 25 agents pointing rifles, viral clips of Antifa blocking federal vehicles, and even the New York Times obituary for Assata Shakur (Sept. 26, 2025) — all used to argue the Left is normalizing violence and celebrating it. Walsh’s point: tough talk from the top means nothing without arrests and follow-through.

Twist: this isn’t an uprising so much as a PR-friendly crime wave — everybody films it, the Left amplifies it, and the administration flinches.

Bottom Line: Words won’t stop a mob; only decisive enforcement will. If the government doesn’t act, the street will write policy by violence.

Shutdown Showdown: Trump Puts Blame on Dems

The clock’s ticking toward a Tuesday night shutdown deadline, and Trump is meeting Schumer and Jeffries in the Oval to hash it out. His message: if the lights go out, Democrats own it.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hit Fox & Friends Monday morning with the White House line: Republicans want a clean continuing resolution — no gimmicks, no pork, just inflation-adjusted spending. She reminded viewers that Dems backed this same formula 13 times before, most recently in March.

Key receipts:

• Schumer himself said in 2024 that “a shutdown would mean chaos and pain and needless heartache.”

• Groups from AMVETS to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association lined up behind Trump’s ask to keep funding flowing.

• The White House blasted out an email warning that Democrats are gambling with veterans’ benefits, law enforcement pay, and food assistance.

Twist: Democrats, usually the self-styled protectors of “vulnerable communities,” are now the ones holding those services hostage — just to score points against Trump.

Bottom Line: Trump walked into today’s meeting with the leverage. If Schumer and Jeffries tank the CR, they won’t just be fighting Trump — they’ll be fighting the public who wants the government open and functioning.

Together with The Ledger

Eric Swalwell just let slip the Democrats’ 2026 plan: weaponize subpoenas not against Trump — but against private citizens who dare work with him.

At the same time, Matt Walsh warns the “real insurrection” is happening in plain sight: mobs surrounding ICE, livestreaming crimes, prosecutors caving.

This isn’t politics. It’s a two-front war: lawfare from Congress, mob rule in the streets.

Sunday’s Ledger connects the dots — the threats, the receipts, and the fallout if citizens don’t push back.

Zero fluff. All signal.

Swalwell’s outburst wasn’t a gaffe. It was a preview. A warning shot of what Democrats intend to do if voters hand them the gavel again. They don’t want fair elections. They don’t want debate. They want fear — and submission. The choice in 2026 is bigger than Trump versus the swamp. It’s America versus authoritarianism. And thanks to Swalwell, we now know exactly what’s coming if the Left wins.
