After listening to all the destruction caused by Trump and his minions, I can only keep asking what can be done to stop this carnage? Is there any realistic way?
Plan, communicate, motivate and mobilize for significant democratic voter turnout in less than two years to capture back control of the U.S. House and hopefully the Senate in the 2026 midterms!
But most importantly…that’s only a somewhat favorable start to trying to wrestle back sane control of our pursuit to controlling and managing our experimental attempt at a fair Democracy…there is strength in numbers because in his mind, he’s president for life!
Yes, it seems that by the illegal actions, time for beginning impeachment has been here and still remains. I realize that some people within each political party have been intimidated or even threatened seriously, but if they stay true to themselves in the Constitution as it is written, and true to their purpose, could they manage this situation and bring us back to safety? However, we must keep in mind that even if impeachment were to pass and be voted for, the next two people in line for the office of the presidency, seem to be of the same persuasion as the current person in that office. Would they not be persuaded by the same nonofficial forces? What they try to cause further destruction to our government, and if they did, would we be continually holding impeachment trials? Part of the actions taking place now are intended to stop government from being carried out. We need to restore what has been destroyed, and protect what they will be trying to do next.
Since we know that Project 2025 is the roadmap of destruction of her established government, is it possible that capable people could study yet ahead of time to be prepared for each step taking place? Possibly my questions or naïve. I wish I knew the right questions to ask and the right suggestions to make in order to save us all and our government.
Since I do not know how we can act as a nation to legally and peacefully save our country as a democracy, these thoughts are the best I can share. I thank everyone for sharing and caring, and I wish restored rights, privacy, and democracy as we and the writers of our Constitution and its Amendments have intended.
The next two candidates for the office do not have a vendetta against the United States government so they will not be trying to wipe out the FBI. Mike Johnson certainly has inclinations to steady the vote when it comes to what’s best for the country and JD Vance will take a while to get the government back in order, it certainly time to press impeachment before more destruction, takes place. we have Mexico, Canada and the EU railed against us. Trump has managed that in 10 days amazing.! Also if either Vance or Johnson is president, they will not have an allegiance to Trump to deal with. Sumter Carmichael Coleman.
Sumpter C. Coleman, thank you for those glimmers of hope! I had not analyzed the next two people in line and their possible behaviors in those particular ways. If we do have somebody legally in that position, as immediately as possible, it will help. I believe you are also indicating that either of the next two people in line would work to uphold the Constitution, would work without the influence of the people seeming to control the currently new holder of the executive office, and would have a conscience.
In one of my own messages, I have discovered recently, that I split infinitive. I am sorry and know better than to do that. Now that I am not finding that particular message to fix it, I will simply try to be careful in any future writing.
Madness—complete madness brought on by several madmen. The water debacle in California is a classic. The release of water that is impounded for use by farmers in the summer is going to raise food prices. The water was sent to Tule Lake which is 200 miles from the LA basin. How does that help anything or anybody? Here are men in charge of everything who don't even know the simple geography of California or the water needs of the farmers in summer.
You are so right! So much of what happens in politics is based on ignorance the whole abortion debacle for instance: for seven years after row evangelicals were happy until the IRS reverse the tax exempt status of Bob Jones University, and then they looked for an issue to get their members to vote Republican, it was all about not wanting to go to school with blacks.l
Today I learned that the DEI programs were initiated to reverse the cronyism that took place with all white employees and has been very effective in doing that. A lifelong Episcopalian living in the south I was horrified to learn that no white Christian church ever announced the lynching in the more than 50 years it went on. At the same time I have Christian relatives who are sure they’re going to heaven and worry that I may not be there with them, how much of life we live in the fantasy world. It’s time to face the insanity and impeach Trump Sumter Carmichael Coleman.
We’re watching the infancy of Americas dictatorship…and it seems no one is coming to save us. Traitor Elon Musk now controls Americas checkbook and all democrats are doing is talking about it, posting about it and writing letters to the people that are doing it. Not sure what I expect, but that’s not it! There must be a way to hold an unlawful executive branch accountable other than the courts. We need INSTANT STOPPAGE of the destruction of our government! INSTANT!!!!!!! WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS? WHERE ARE OUR MILITARY THAT TAKES THEIR OATHS TO COUNTRY AND CONSTITUTION? PROTECTING US FROM ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC? No one is coming to save us, our country, our constitution OR our democracy! Republicans have achieved their goal…total rule! ASSHOLES!! 😭
How the hell was Muskrat allowed to force out the Treasury Secretary? He & T must have a Secret Garden where they partake of mind- altering drugs. Are there any judges who will call foul on the illegal 'firings' of Federal servants? Please, grow up & serve like the law books tell you to do! Maiking me so ill. Time for another old western..
Yes, Manuel, I would like to be reminded also of where it is written about the forming of new departments and the altering or removal of existing departments.
I would like to see the Supreme Court revisit their rather recent ruling that gave far too much executive power to the presidency, and to reverse that ruling immediately. Then could they act on some of the changes that have been made and help restore our country? They should definitely stand up for the people who have been fired or removed from their government jobs without proper procedures and without valid reasons. There should also be protections for anyone in any elected or government position, who has been threatened or whose family has been threatened in attempts to prevent the person from doing the accepted job.
I am 62 and very afraid. The “uneducated white males” who put the ‘Orange Menace’ in office don’t realize how the OM will negatively affect their lives. All the UEWMs know is that they are angry. They don’t know why… The OM tricked them in to blaming Black & Brown people to make them feel better. How will the UEWMs ever understand that ‘Greedy Capitalism’ is the cause for their sad lives…?
Trump was convicted by a unanimous jury of 12 on 34 felony counts because the jury heard the facts of the case. Trump won the presidency by a small margin of the popular vote, 1.5%, only because voters were disinformed by Fox News and Musk’s massive disinformation campaign right before the election. According to an NBC poll of registered voters in April, those who received their news from newspapers favored Biden to Trump by 49%. Nobody with any sense can approve of what Trump is doing now. We just need to get the facts out and flip the House and Senate in 2026.
I just got done writing a letter that I will send to some Republican Senators. I don't know that it will do anything, but I feel a little better. I'm 70 years old and I never thought I would have to do something like this.
Everything Trump does seems to be either illegal or unconstitutional. He refuses to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election, has incited an insurrection, released dangerous criminals, embraced the Project 2025, is trying to purge the federal government, is allowing musk to run around doing anything he wants, is constantly creating chaos, and so many more things. He is a traitor and is totally unfit to be president. We are not Russia, we are not Hungary. We are the United States of America.
I don’t know how to fight any of that. Which, I’m sure, is what they intend. How can the constitution stand? How? Who is out there that can tell us that?!. And if we only get news through x, we aren’t going to know the truth. I feel like we need localized cells.
Heather, thank you for all of the details you included in this valuable and increasingly enlightening podcast. It is imperative that everyone understand not only the actions, but also the ramifications of cause and effect from each action and lie. I wish everyone would hear and absorb your podcasts. When the food supply is affected by drought, absence of workers, costs, and starvation, maybe some of the believers of lies will begin to understand. Meanwhile, I remain concerned about everyone suffering, everyone and everything endangered, and the minds that are closed even when they hear the bitter truth and the urgent needs. I plan to listen again in case I missed anything. It is my urgent hope that people remaining in our government at each level hand position, will take steps legally while they can to stop the destruction of our country and its Constitution, our rights, and our privacy.
You just can’t imagine how much this message frightens me!
I too had history as a goal when in college. Then sometimes life gets in the way. But I remember the lessons and realize how the German citizens felt in the 1930s. Things are going by so fast it seems there is nothing I can do to stop the slide to another dictatorship!

If you haven't already, consider deleting your Twitter and Instagram accounts. It's small but easy.
Time to begin impeachment
Too soon. He has to hang himself…even more. And as Russell noted, we need more representation in Congress.
Yes, it seems that by the illegal actions, time for beginning impeachment has been here and still remains.

The Republicans have narrow majorities in the House and Senate so they would probably block this.
Doesn’t work. Article 25 for presidential removal.

It is all performative
Americans,

No one is coming to save us, our country, our constitution OR our democracy! Republicans have achieved their goal…total rule! ASSHOLES!! 😭
Agreed! Democrats in Congress need to lead. I despair that they are voting for his candidates.
How the hell was Muskrat allowed to force out the Treasury Secretary? He & T must have a Secret Garden where they partake of mind- altering drugs. Are there any judges who will call foul on the illegal 'firings' of Federal servants? Please, grow up & serve like the law books tell you to do! Maiking me so ill. Time for another old western..
Try one of the Marx Brothers films - they're guaranteed to cheer you up.
What gives Trump the power to create a new and unnecessary department out of thin air? And empower that department with unconstitutional rights?
The question should be who gives him the power?…donald trump just assumes the power and dare others to do whatever.
Yes, Manuel, I would like to be reminded also of where it is written about the forming of new departments and the altering or removal of existing departments.
I would like to see the Supreme Court revisit their rather recent ruling that gave far too much executive power to the presidency, and to reverse that ruling immediately.

They just put him above the law.
They must reverse their thinking and act pronto with unification to stand up to him!
He doesn't, he just did it
Thank you Heather! Your voice and writing are always so wise and reassuring.

They are nasty and stupid. Breaking what they don’t understand

Thank you for keeping us informed. What can we do to stop it!
I just got done writing a letter that I will send to some Republican Senators. I don't know that it will do anything, but I feel a little better. I'm 70 years old and I never thought I would have to do something like this.
Thank you Heather! Although the information is horrible, hearing your voice has a calming effect on my brain :)
I totally agree. She is amazing.
Agreed! HCR is a light in the darkness

Trump must be stopped he is destroying our economy. Tomorrow I’m calling my two senators and my state AG to voice my concerns will do it daily
Thank you! That is an excellent idea!
