I call for testimony under oath and certified cost and pricing data to underpin Republicans promised budget cuts in the $ trillions. This is a reasonable request to a convicted felon. We get that or all rural hospitals will soon be gone, lost due to $833 billion in Medicaid cuts. Farmers are going to lose $230 billion. Rural America dozes. Democrats leaders are not asking for testimony or certified data. That is as we all watch the lies day after day.

Thank you Heather for your adept way of delivering the news.

Musk is in charge and a cognitively deficient Trump is a figurehead.

A criminal tyrant psychotic demented sleepy figurehead. “Off with his head” write Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll. I fear, even if the orange king were deposed, there are too many numbskull sycophants in place to correct this disaster.

Where is this going to go? The wheels are "off the bus." Kennedy is a fool. Hegseth has no concept of what he is doing. Gabbard? Really? Chicken Little was right! The sky is falling! Heather! Save us and make us laugh! https://substack.com/@eb0novelist

I love that the transcription bot spells it DOGGIE. Trump's rabid DOG-E should be euthanized.

Heather, I read and listen to your daily accounts of our history everyday. I do so because it’s never been more important to face the truth about the state we are all in as Americans. I want so badly for Trump, his cabinet and cronies, his tech bros and oligarch attachments to get off the stage, to be silent and stop disgracing our country. But until then, thank you so very much for being truthful and diligent. I so appreciate it. Peace!

Tech or food for thought?...you decide. This is where it all began. We are in a paradigm shift people....time to be wise to AI and digital currency. Found this WIRED magazine dated December 2013 issue in my archives....Bill Gates and Bill Clinton..BILL GATES WANTS YOU TO FIX THE WORLD, worth the reread and the research. Is this the model that they want to take away? Bill vs. Elon....ask yourself. Question??? If Trump and Elon gain access to all of our financial information, can they control how business and currency become available to us? Musk, satellite control, Bezos purchasing, Zuckerberg, social media and Trump the puppet....and the list goes on. Could this be an international plot? Will they have access to our hard earned pensions, savings and benefits? See the BIG PICTURE, NOT THE BIG BALLS... ironic isn't it? IS VOIGHT THE AUTHOR OF IT ALL?

Cabinet members like getting $175,000 a year and the prestige and the perks and the graft and the access to unlimited m-o-n-e-y and being on TV...This is the ultimate reality show. We, literally, need millions on the Capit(a)l (yes, I know it is Capitol) Mall...but in this transactional administration it is Capital... Until we have millions screaming NO, there is nothing to be done ... and VOTE. Pumpkinhead has effectively "run the table" and he's sinking balls all over the place...three pointers...

We should be gobsmacked by this. It’s a race car with no normal driver.

Thank you for the doggie pronunciation. It's about time. Hope all follow. No respect for their nefarious attempts to standardize carnage.

Can't help but think of Julius Caesar, Reagan said keep your friends close and your enemies closer, Trump keeps only his :loyalists" close, a la, Julius Caesar. Of course they weren't all that loyal or that close. E tu Brute?

A century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how Donald Trump thinks about the world, @jon_rauch writes. Understanding this view is essential to defeating it. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/corruption-trump-administration/681794/?gift=4dTfJpaWKAxPRgFrKJwrAJ-Vynm9u7AcdT7Ukld6NSo&utm_source=email&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social. How to deal with Trump and his gang that are (1) INCOMPETENT and (2) CORRUPT. Keep up the pressure and the real life examples of the impacts on real people and groups and agencies All the Time, Everywhere in America. Especially in red and rural areas and in the homes of Republicans in Congress that are being hurt the worst. All the time - everywhere - and never ever let up!!!!

What does history tell us about when wide spread popular uprising against a coup is most effective. Also what has history to tell us about how one way or the other ,civil disobedience, violence, and destruction of property, that accompanies that resistance either aids or impedes the goals of that resistance and either aids or impedes restoration of the democratic government.

You left out loss of life, I think that's been a factor in every resistance & social gain, too. But, good question, what has worked, how has it worked, & how can that best be applied now?
