Michael, this worked for me. I hope that works for you. Do you see where it says in gray letters Letters from an American at the upper left part of your screen? If you click on that, it will open up the audio version but below that it gives you the options for the written version. For instance today, the written transcript is the third box down and if you click on it, it will give you the written transcript. I hope that helps!

If T wins the electoral college , despite this summary of events, it seems I can only point to the lack and quality of civic education in our schools. Here in Texas, I can say, if they only spent a fraction of the funds on civics they spend on football and campaigning against what books are available in the library, we would all be so much better off.

Thanks for your comprehensive report. You covered so much ground (so much is going on), that I had to listen twice! I prefer the audio over the transcript since it is possible to do other things while listening.

With regards to the on-going voter suppression efforts by Republican state election boards or officials, they should be required (such as by a federal judge) to provide the list of “purged” voters to an independent third party to check the list, to determine if they purged legitimate voters. Not much time left to do that with only about 39 days to the election!

Trump is living in an alternative universe, but MAGA supporters also don't care about the truth. God help us if he actually wins this election.

Careful if you buy one of those Trump watches. They tell you the time that Donald Trump wants you to see whether it's the real time or not.

“The republicans decided to work with us at the end of” THEIR TERM! The Worst do nothing congress in history! Look back on this republican congress during the last four years. Wasted time pointing fingers, the ridiculous Santos scam, not coming up with a federal budget ever, verbal abuse from the circus M.T.G., allowing poor war torn Ukraine to wait over 6 months without funding their weapons already promised. 15 rounds of votes to elect a speaker only to get rid of that ineffective guy to replace him with another. Trying to impeach and embarrass top government officials and agencies without A Shread of evidence. (Biden, Miley, Faucci, Justice Department, FBI) Not voting for student debt relief, drug pricing reduction legislation for Medicare. The worst congress in history! I know I’ve left a lot out, it’s hard to stomach again what our poor country has had to go through.
