We also need mainstream media to explain and focus clearly on what is happening. Billionaires need to be exposed for their part and the spineless politicians need to be clearly exposed to Americans.
He is such a bastard! I am not asleep and my friends are not alseep! He needs to be impeached and removed!!!! He has made us so vulnerable!!! He is committing war crimes at home and in the Caribbean! He has sold us out and he is SO CRUEL!
Millie Polli Haskell......Reporting-first, Simon, I did watch your live conversation with Stuart today at 2pm. What can I say, it was incredibly helpful in every way. You and Stuart diagnosed every statement why they are the OLIGARCHS and WE ARE FOR THE PEOPLE! It was one of the best conversations I believe that You both had. Then again, I know you can surprise us with even more. I did call Sen. Scott and Rep. Luna. I wasn't aware that you had changed "OUR FOUR PART AGENDA" to Five Parts. But I read it. And I made sure that it was VERY, VERY, LOUD when I DEMANDED, DEMANDED that they "ACT UPON OUR FIVE PART AGENDA"
I think what Sarah Kendrioz stated back in circa 2016/2017 helps me understand what’s going on now with our government and how to use better words to describe it.
She says that Donald Trump is head of a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government. I think that it’s a good definition of what our government is. Let that sink in for a while. Find Sarah on Substack at Sarah Kendrioz. She brings it.
Is it possible as you say Simon to create a tribunal and identify the crimes and misdemeanors being committed? The American public needs the rule of law to function and not be swayed by mainstream media weigh ins or regime propaganda
Paul Krugman had a Substack post today that helped me understand another HUGE element of the corruption. Trump's pardon of the former president of Honduras, a narco-terrorist convicted by an American jury of smuggling 400+ TONS of cocaine into this country over 20+ years, goes back to the oligarch-bros. They are building a private island OFF THE COAST OF HONDURAS that they call Prospera. It will be governed by no law but their own. It's for billionaires only. The pardoned prez was in on the deal, as were many members of his right-wing party. The current prez, who likely will be defeated in the ongoing election, has been trying to claw back some degree of Honduran control over Prospera. Trump and his oligarch-bros can't have that! This corruption for personal gain and the further enrichment of his pals--the Witkoffs, Jared, Sacks, Andreesen, Thiel, Musk--it's a long list but It's the constant through-line of virtually everything the Trump administration does.
Looks like we can add Michael Dell to the list. I read this headline and wanted to throw my laptop away. Well, my next one won't be a Dell, that's for sure.
Right. Dell donates to "Trump Accounts" to give 25 million kids $250 each? Doesn't he know the history of the Trump family and their charities? It's like they are not even trying to hide it. How stupid do they think we are?
Just want to update about Indiana. Today the House present a terrible map to assure Indiana will become a 9-0 R state. Marion County is the city-county capital and it has been the 7th district, but has been carved up into 4 districts, one of which extends all the way down to the Ohio River through rural and forested areas. The rural areas have been taught that cities are evil and dangerous and immoral places. However, Indianapolis is the economic engine of the state. Many groups are fighting back. We attended the No redistricting rally and many then chanted through the statehouse, while the Republicans hid behind closed doors without accountability or transparency.
Governor Pritzker of Illinois says that if Indiana redistricts, Illinois will too. If they (or Missouri) don't redistrict, then Illinois won't either. Good luck in the fight and Thank You!!!
I grew up in Indiana and have lots of family there, so I took a good look at that proposed map. It's SO absurd!! As you note, the districts that are part of Indy, then alllll the way down to Kentucky! And the one going from Lake Michigan down through *Logansport* and beyond! Huge derisive LOL
If this monstrosity gets passed, won't it be something to watch the republicans scramble to win in these districts, like they're scrambling to defend a +22 district in Tennessee today? Good thing Indiana raises popcorn, eh?
I'm glad you can see how terrible it is. It passed out of committee with one brave R voting No. This thing is going to steam roll right through. They are disrespectful to their Dem colleagues by refusing any amendments and they claim they will work on affordability issues after this bill is passed. Can't say that I believe a word they say.
Can we not call it trumpism? I don’t want to have to utter his name longer than necessary. How about MAGAism? Also the Dems are the new Conservative Party. Our entire ideological framework is being rewritten
Heather Cox Richarson's article TODAY is an excellent summary of all these points and focuses how Trump's policies and appointments further the success of Russia and weakening of the United States. It will not be surprising to you, but should provide specifics.
Yes!!! Criminal referrals. Every state governor and separately US SENATORS!!!!

Trials and Taxes 2028! Make Them Pay!
How do we take down Stephen Miller, Russ Voight. Steve Bannonand JD Vance — and John Roberts? The corruption is everywhere
patience and persistance.

Much more aggressive especially on mainstream media
Stuart is the best. Thanks to both of you.

SIMON - NO, 'SABOTAGE, PLUNDER, BETRAYAL.'
IT'S SMASH-AND-GRAB. EOS.
With some dept of war drive by shootings

Dems have had Shadow hearings, most recently on illegal ICE activities. They could do the same for these teasonous war criminals, right?

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that affordability legislation... What a shameful bunch of cowards and toadies!

Swift overnight impeachment. Leave no room for pardons. Squeeze JD
