This Democratic congresswoman is holding ‘resistance labs’ to subvert the Trump administration

Published October 14, 2026 8:20am ET



It is well known that Democrats have made resisting the agenda of President Donald Trump an integral part of their political platform over the last 10 years. Trump won the 2016 presidential election on Nov. 8, 2016. Democrats started planning their resistance on Nov. 9. They shifted their priorities from — allegedly — helping the people to plotting ways to obstruct Trump’s time in office, developing what has become a sick and twisted political obsession. It should really come as no surprise, then, that a Democratic congresswoman has been holding activist training sessions with left-wing acolytes during the president’s second term to, again, resist Trump.

Over the last 18 months, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has been holding “non-violent resistance training” to subvert the Trump administration’s political agenda. During the most recent event on Sept. 27, called “Immigration Justice Resistance Lab,” the Democratic congresswoman stressed the importance of her activist training in fighting back against “authoritarians and dictators.” She also touted the success of her program, mentioning that it was the 16th one she had held and boasting about training over 31,000 supporters from every state in the country, all with one goal in mind: to obstruct and derail the Trump presidency.
