DEVASTATING DYSFUNCTION

Today’s "Letter From an American" by Heather Cox Richardson is a must read – an absolutely devastating description of the Trump Regime’s dysfunction and deeply damaging policies. A few choice excerpts.

"At a press opportunity at a cabinet meeting today, Trump said it wasn’t the right time to talk about his plans to phase out FEMA."

"Meanwhile, at the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did not inform the White House before he stopped the shipment of weapons to Ukraine last week. … When a reporter asked the president today who had authorized the pause, Trump answered: “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”"

"At today’s press opportunity, Trump was erratic, at one point veering off into a discussion of whether he should put gold leaf on the moldings in the room’s corners."

Hard not to feel knocked down by the news and current happenings. My tempering antidote was meeting Mikie Sherill in person in Seattle on Monday (what a candidate!), meeting Washington State AG Nick Brown yesterday (a tremendous public servant!) and giving to all of Simon’s campaigns today including monthly donations to Mikie Sherill and Abigail Spanberger.
