Keep the facts coming HCR. Democrats must unite and get in the game that Repulicans have been playing for decades. It takes courage to stop this madness and some Democrats seem to have it. Hopefully they can get it together! Resist! Buy only necessities. ✌️
Outsourcing resulted in short-term gain & long-term pain.
Having now witnessed the election of the most unsuitable person imaginable, China knows with certainty that this will be their century as it watches the USA fall into disarray, betraying allies & trust in pursuit of greed and supremacy.
“Trump ally Steve Bannon warned about Musk’s true interests: “We have to have a full accounting that makes sure any government data … have not gone to any entity not controlled by the Trump administration or the U.S. government.”
When Steve Bannon is the relative voice of reason 👀
“In the twenty-first century, U.S. security and the economy depended more than ever on coalitions and government investment.”
Also! That same period saw the greatest economic expansion and SOL increase ever. Multilateralism works. Donny shrinks the pie so he can control it. Important point IMHO.
I read Heather Cox Richardson’s (HCR) Letter from an American everyday. She is an authority on American History and Politics and she is authentic. Every letter is evidence based with the citations listed as they are in a scholarly paper. Her letters should be compiled into a journal of our times.
Because Republicans are realizing they too will lose their benefits they reap from government....
'even though their counties are more dependent than Democratic counties on government aid'.
Yesterday’s letter really rings true. The myth, the lies, the theft.
I’m heartbroken over the destruction of everything we hold dear, but when I remember your hopeful reminder to Senator King that MAGA is not forever, that we will rebuild better, I feel hopeful, too.
It's horrorfying to know their are so many ignorant racist bullies in this country. Like 11% sounds like a reasonable amount. But, good gawd, 41% is frightening.
Yes- whole family are all still chugging along on the chump train.Keep trying to school me on how smart he is and that he has great plans for our country that I’m just too stupid to grasp. Protesters are trying to stop this slide to authoritarianism but day by day I don’t see a recovery from this.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social I struggle to understand how Cowboy Individualism meshes with Christianity? Maybe they are not connected at all? Do those who reject the shackles of government also reject the ideals of fellowship and kindness to others less fortunate, resulting in a fractured society?
Churches are thee greediest.
They are tax exempt to share with their communities and help those in need. They help no on but themselves to more greed.
Ever see a poor pastor?
@heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.web.brid.gy Do you know if anyone has been tracking the analytics assoc'd w/DJT's Truth Social account -- boosts & appreciation?
For my sanity & wellbeing, I try not to regard the absurd trash content; informally, it seems like those #s are down.
We need to vote the 'cowboys' out 2026.
Wealthy will always become greedy. They help no one but themselves to obtain more greed.
Yes, saying it, Churches are the most greedy.
To opt out of war, text “STOP” to Putin. Great show Krasnov put on there 🤔 Also, didn’t he tout only he would be able to end the war on day one? Day 95 and counting. As always, nothing but lies and hot air from the 🍊 🤡
He had no intention of helping Ukraine. He was trying to convince us putin would listen to him him only him. (F him)
In his imaginary mind he thinks putin is his friend... clueless that he is the marionette and putin is pulling the strings.
The "cowboy" mystique inspires violent acts. Glorifying the single-person-with-a-gun-who-triumphs-against-the-system feeds directly into the mind of those who feel disenfranchised, powerless, helpless and angry.
That culture grants permission and encourages those who would see themselves as self-appointing defenders of what they see as 'right.' And sadly, there are voices in the media fanning that sense of isolation, and siege mentality with incendiary claims
crazily, Trump could change history by doing a complete 180° *TODAY* regarding his unrelenting capitulation to Putin. It could be an opportunity to regain a legitimacy between him and the American people, the Republican-led Congress and our global allies. The fact he won't says everything.
The Cowboy Myth, as Jane Kramer wrote, is paradise for a man or a cow, but a living hell for a woman or a mule. And the only reason that flame continues to burn, as Dan O'Brien suggested, is because the honest American ranchers are incapable of lying to others but constantly deceive themselves.
Another day, another attempt to roll back voting rights. We can't let this happen. Our democracy depends on everyone having a voice. #ProtectTheVote #DemocracyNow
Republicans stand up. I don’t know why you are all such cowards. I get a few will always be neofascists. The others cannot possibly think what trump is doing is good for the country.
Our American President is weak! Trump sends a post to indicate he is displeased with Putin. Putin laughed out loud at Trump and the Americans who believed that Trump was effectively addressing the Russian leader.
We need to make him the shortest acting president in history and IMPEACH him much sooner.
It would be 'legendary'.
And he can go down in history as Biggest Loser he is!
Thank you, as always, for your updates. The news is hard to keep up with, and harder still to not fall into deep depression about, so your calm, factual posts are like the water of life for those of us feeling overwhelmed. 💙
I am so sick of my info being stolen.
In 1 1/2 yrs have had 4 letters that my data had been taken.
3 from Healthcare facilities, 1 from health insurance.
I want my paper chart back!
We cannot let the republican party off the hook when they turn on him in desperation to save their own necks. THEY are the real villains here. They could stop him at any time they choose. They are choosing him over their own constituents.
This is why we need to vote them out!
Loyalty to dt and big donors are not part of the oath they took! We hired them, we can show them the cost of dt/donor Loyalty at the ballots!
It did start with Reagan. He ushered in a fantasy-leader era where people vote for a personality against their best interests. Nixon couldn’t quite pull it off maybe because he wasn’t an actor. May have been similar examples in the past but they didn’t have modern media to amplify their message.
Right!
JFK2 laughed when dt refused to shake his wife, Cheryl Hines hand right next to her. Also Harris had to initiate a hand shake at debate.
He doesn't like grabbing women's hands.... remember.
When a reporter asked Trump about China’s denial, he said: “Well, they had a meeting this morning.” The reporter answered: “Who’s they?” Trump replied: “I can’t tell you. It doesn’t matter who ‘they’ is. We may reveal it later.”
This is Un-f-n-believable. This Econimist cover is spot on.
This letter is usually the first thing I see when I first log on to Facebook each day, but hasn't appeared there yet this morning. Have they shut you down?

Just grateful it's dropping daily!

🍊💩 yes!
Now I'm confused, lol
