While trumpf acts a fool project 2025 is in full swing. Buy only necessities from companies that do not pump money into republican doners. Protest peacefully and know your rights to do so. Resist!
Yes! I downloaded the Goods Unite Us app a couple of weeks ago, which clearly outlines who companies donate to. We're in the process of switching our purchases to companies that fund democrats.
Yes, I use the app, too. Also, 5 calls app for script and contacts in your state by zip code. As of yesterday, the app added up to 50 calls a day to 3 reps in my blood red state. Resist!
I appreciate your daily newsletter so much from here in Australia. It’s the best aggregator of US political news. It’s actually stopped me from doomscrolling. I’ve cancelled my NYT sub and subscribed to you instead.
If the KKK marched in front of my home, I'd shut my doors and close my blinds and not give them an audience. But if the government tried to keep them from using their despicable speech, I'd protest that. It's easy to support speech we like. The true test is supporting speech we don't.
When he says "we're gonna become so rich" that WE: he isn't talking about US, he's talking about himself and his partners in crime. That is the WE he means.
Also: he's full of revenge against the USA for voting him out in 2020.
He is mentally slipping but his puppeteers know what they are doing.
With intent to make the USA vulnerable to a take over trump tanks our:
economy
military
rule of law
alliances
education
USaid
health protections
He joined putin against Ukraine by withholding:
weapons
intel
humanitarian aid
rebuilding of the electrical grid
And long ago musk shut off starlink.
It occurred to me that Trump might be trashing the stock market deliberately b/c he and his cronies have either shorted it or plan to buy it up on the dip. His idiot sons posted about buying Bitcoin before the govt crypto reserve announcement drove up its price, so I wouldn't put this past him.
Some members of Congress definitely used insider info to enrich themselves. But they don't have the kind of power (and unchecked corruption) that Trump has to move markets and profit from it. And because no one will investigate this, he'll get away with it.
Do you think that T…p is intentionally tanking our economy the same way he is Canada’s at Putin’s request? Just my early morning scary thought of the day. Thank you for all you do!
Trump’s responses. He doesn’t know how to tell the truth but when he can’t think fast enough on his feet, he does that ‘lie in the making word play’. Trump = Rubbish.
@skywalkerbeth.bsky.social - YES, which leads me to a pet peeve of mine, @hcrichardson.bsky.social. Of course tariffs end up hurting consumers, but they also DO go into US coffers, which is ALL DJT et al care about! I don't get why no one is mentioning this. Explains the 'motive', however misguided!
Exactly. It's an indirect tax on everyday Americans. He's raising taxes without calling it that. We should be angry... just ask the folks who carried out the Boston Tea Party, who were protesting the tax on tea.
Why can only 'paid subscribers' comment on you Substack?!
Free Mahmoud Khalil !
I stand with Ukraine.
Don't touch Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
Impeach the convicted felon & his fake hillbilly minion.
Deport the South African Apartheid racist immigrant.
God Bless Canada.
Most Substack are that way. There is a bigger community on FB, with more comments AND a chance she'll see them & sometimes replies to the early ones. From previous comments she made, she doesn't look at Substack comments.
Substacks are set up that way. it's an incentive for paid subscribers....no paid subscribers and Substack itself doesn't get any funds. That's why I think it's great that she posts here on Bluesky, where everybody can comment! (FB, too) - I do know she wants her work to be widely accessible!
The arrest of Khalil was the first thing to break through to my Trumpy coworker. It did not sit well at all. He’s been able to laugh a lot of stuff off, but that one made him very quiet.
Each day the information shows Trump is a dictator. He has violated his oath to the constitution. Each day we are in danger of losing our right to free speech. Who will stop him?
We all need to be calling our representatives & senators in droves daily, urging them to remove both Trump & Vance & try them & Musk for treason, & to order the military to apprehend them & recover the executive branch from them by any means necessary ASAP. The U.S. Marshals are too compromised.
25th amendment needs to happen. Trump will let everything burn to the ground before he admits he is loosing in this tariff battle. I’m close to retirement and I’m scared my 401k will be wiped out. Republicans need to step up and get Trump out.
Trump & Vance have both revealed they are no Republicans.
The Republican party needs to defend their reputation as actually valuing the economy & especially as not being all nazis & Russian assets, or voters will ditch them.
Ridding us of both of them soon would install a Republican as POTUS.
100%agree. MAGA is no republican. My husband is a republican and he is outraged what his party is doing. He voted for Trump the first time, Biden and Kamala the others. Country over party always.
I've seen examples already of tariffs being passed on to us. While shopping online recently, products that would ship from China clearly noted that items may be subject to tariffs.
If Trump is delusional (and he is), then his advisers and supporters are, too. Isn't Kevin Hassett his economic adviser who agrees with him on tariffs?
Is it possible there may be a philosophy that goes along with all of this: that people are not capable of self-governance and must be “helped” (controlled) for their own good by an elite group of the “smartest” people. The “tech-bros”. They’re going through POTUS toward that end; just a stooge.
Hedge funds perform badly in good economies and had some of their worst years under Biden economic policies. I assume they’re having a good recovery in this volatile see saw market. It’s how they thrive. It all fits into oligarchy, punish the poor, thrive in chaos. Build the wealth gap.
Trump is trashing the economy because he is abuser. And like all abusers he wants to take away our economic freedom and security. Firing people, gutting the safety net and tanking stocks are all meant to control and hem us in.

- Your 2017 & 2025 tax cuts have & will add TRILLIONS & TRILLIONS of $$$ to the national debt.
An estimated 10,000,000,000,000
- Denying Ukraine military intel makes it easier for Russia to win.
Explain to us why you feel the above are necessary?
Also: he's full of revenge against the USA for voting him out in 2020.

Seems like a good time to: Make a plan. Run a new play. Envision counter solutions. Make it so.

Trump is also weakening this country on behalf of Putin's agenda.
Republicans in Congress should plan to lose far more elections unless they start acting like real Americans & stop them.
& i also agree that Heather Cox Richardson & her daily letters are amazing.
She is truly a national treasure.

(& simply since Putin misdirects him is a more unreasonable excuse than the excuses he has been passing)
with all the reading you compile to write for us to understand much, I read this one right after yours on 3/10 & I got even more. Very concise & informative! New to me, so might be new to you, or a reader of yours:
