SEE THE REAL STORY: The Federal Workers who Sparked a Right-Wing Media Meltdown

AMERICAN VOICES: An exclusive behind the scenes look at the town hall that is being savagely attacked by the right wing media.

See what real people, your neighbors and fellow Americans, are saying and ask yourself why Fox and the right wing media have spent countless hours trying to tear us down for holding this town hall. Why are they so worried? Is it that they don't want you to hear from the real people affected by government cuts? Do they want to silence anyone who challenges the narrative they've built up about Trump? Watch for yourself, see the truth about what is happening in Washington, and then you decide.

We highlight the diverse faces of federal workers - people who went from career federal government professionals just a few months ago to unemployment lines. Hear from a former USAID worker who was fired while on maternity leave. Shouldn't each of them have a voice?

Come along with us on this exclusive behindthescenes look at Jim Acosta's live town hall in Washington DC that has set off shockwaves in the far right media. The piece, which was shot and edited by our colleague Bethany Swain at @Bethany Swain , opens with Jim hosting his Substack live ahead of the night's big show at the historic Lincoln Theatre on U Street in Washington, D.C.

Come with us to the green room, as Jim, Mike Fanone and Olivia Troye prep for the show. Special guests including former Capitol Hill Police Officer Harry Dunn and other January 6th police officers talking about what the night means to them. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett talks to us about what the town hall means to her. The show's executive producer coordinates last-minute details while musicians set the stage for the evening's pre-show performance.

This night is about capturing on film and giving voice to these federal workers who took an oath to the constitution, and not to one man. These federal employees share horror stories of DOGE's random cuts, and the resulting sudden job losses, families affected by Trump's federal workforce firings, and a community coming together to fight for the America we still believe in.

This is about taking a stand for democracy, the importance of not sitting on the sidelines, and behind-the-scenes footage you won't see anywhere else. Make sure you see the town hall for yourself, see the truth, and then you decide.

Then use your voice to tell your Senator and your member of Congress what you think. Don't sit on the sidelines, get involved, be the change.

Thanks to all our friends who took time out to appear and work on the town hall, including:

Democracy doesn’t defend itself — we do. Welcome to a very special edition of the Jim Acosta Show. A live town hall from the historic Lincoln Theatre in Downtown Washington, DC. We wanted to give voice to the people affected by the mass and indiscriminate federal workforce layoffs and the insanity that is happening in our government today, and you made that possible.

Surprise guest @RepJasmine lit up the stage with her signature raw, unfiltered truth. And Rosie O'Donnell brought down the house with her honest look at what is happening in the country under Donald Trump.
