I did a letter, about his health. I will do more later. I also changed the wording some and added things, and decided I'd like to share it with you and your readers. Here's what I sent to my Senator from Oregon:
"Dear Senator Merkley:
You do a wonderful job. You did a filibuster! I know you are working hard for the American people. I've met you once, at Jefferson HS here in Portland. I am sending this as you're my Senator, but please share it with your GOP colleagues and let them know that this constituent insisted you do so!
Here's what THEY need to read(!) -
Trump's swollen legs, discolorations, and other troubling symptoms indicate that Trump has 'chronic venous insufficiency.' In tones normally reserved for a hangnail, they said this was no big deal, very common, nothing to see here.
Except that this can indicate a very serious heart condition, possibly life-threatening, along with a range of other very dangerous ailments. But we don't have the full records, so we have to take the word of chronic liars who are paid to lie for a living.
Congress needs to demand that ALL Trump's medical records be released, as has been common practice for presidents for decades - and this also must include cognitive, memory, and related tests, given the rapidly worsening symptoms Trump has been showing on that front as well. In October 2025, Rep. Jasmine Crockett issued a formal letter to White House Physician Captain Sean P. Barbabella calling for clarity and honesty regarding the health and cognitive fitness of Trump.
This man has his finger on the nuclear button, which is already frightening. But if he's falling apart physically and mentally, that takes it to a whole other level. And we need to know that, so we can act accordingly.
Trump, who turned 79 earlier this year, became the oldest person to be inaugurated president when he began his second term in January. His medical history includes high cholesterol, coronary artery disease and a COVID-19 hospitalization in 2020. According to various reports, Trump takes medications for cholesterol, cardiac prevention and rosacea. In 2024, he underwent cataract surgery and a colonoscopy that showed a benign polyp and diverticulitis.
This man already has serious psychological issues. He is a damaged and corrupted person. He has never received any mental health care in over seven decades. He must be examined and he must be treated and contained. For the health of the American people.
Please demand more transparency from the White House immediately. Thank you, Senator."

Whenever I think of Gov. Walz, it reminds me of the iconic photo of the little kids swarming him in his office when he signed the bill to make school meals free for all Minnesota kids.
So right Cheryl about the creeps in this administration being clueless about joy and making sure all kids are taken care of, without question!!! And that includes great schools and everything they need in school! We used to do that! And so much more. But these creeps only get their kicks by being mean. Not a single happy individual among them. For them, being happy is for fools. What empty souls they all have.
It appears as though pooty wants a NWO. Thiel, vought, miller, musk, orange, vance, johnson, etc. are all too happy to be the marionettes helping. As are the owners of CBS, NBC, ABC, WGN, CNN. They want their power. They want their money. They want to hide xyz and let the mere mortals suffer. And yes, I realize that pooty is playing BOTH sides of the aisle.
IMO, the owners of those companies were probably involved on January 6th and are trying to cover up. Does anyone know if any of the owners are in the epstein files?
The Republicans know that their political future is shaken. They should realize that any of them that work with the Dems in removing this corrupt regime,could actually help their future.
So glad MTG is out. CNN is now competing with fake news fox for viewers. Tim Walz is a hero. The fake president and his cabinet are insane clowns. More Dem wins yesterday! 💙
I also recommend the main feature about the potential for using CA's new congressional map for the special election in CA-01 after the unexpected death of GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa. The Prop 50 redistricting makes this a much bluer district. If the new map is used there is the possibility of flipping it during the current congressional term.
First, Trump and his corrupt administrations are simply dimwit amateurs who are playing war in their own heads and amongst each other. They are spoiled, small-minded rich boys on the playground trying to throw their weight around- “I am a better leader than you. Nah… nah… nah...nah … nah. ”
Except, they do not realize they are putting the entire world at risk by their unbridled attempts to be “the bestest and most powerful playground bully pulpit leaders”. They are beyond dangerous. And beyond disgusting.
And CNN? Someone or some group has paid them off. Greed. Unadulterated greed.
Not one of them considers consequences of their actions before acting. This slick invasion could upset the entire world order. I’m so very tired of them doing something stupid and then blaming unfortunate outcomes on someone else.
Did anyone else notice the catering staff standing in the background of the makeshift situation room? How incredibly stupid and pathetic is that? They say they can run Venezuela until it becomes legit but what about our own country? It’s like a bunch of middle schoolers playing Battleship while their moms bring them snacks.
Tump and his crew of chumps playing on Twitter because this whole shitshow is a game to them.. How do we own the libs? How do we get to the end goal peace prize for Donnie? How do we die with the most stuff? As for CNN, I think they are treading a fine line between actual journalism and pleasing the orange doofus enough to avoid blackmail or some other takedown. Not actually a 'fine' line, more of a broad bumpy trail littered with disgraced reporters.
The opening “This is CNN” use to get peoples attention because it was news you could depend on. Now? There are so few honest journalist left at that network it’s not worth the effort. There is very little difference between FOX Entertainment, CNN and CBS is on the bubble. We must find and boycott other businesses these people/corporations control. Money talks and seems the only thing they can understand. That crap from DJT re: Jan. 6 was only worth a 🤮. Props to Governor Waltz. There is a narcissist bully in office who along with his cabinet must be held accountable for their illegal actions.
You were one of my first substack subscriptions and I will continue to support your work. I find such encouragement in what you write. Keep up the fight Scott! 💪
MTG glad you are gone. When we take back our country, she needs to be investigated for her part in Jan. 6th and insider trading. I want all these criminals to be held accountable for their actions. ALL of THEM!
Donald Trump wants Greenland. Not as a trading partner. Not as a defense ally. He wants to fucking own it—and he's now openly discussing military force to make that happen.
Using musks propaganda site should be illegal for any national security but remember Signalgate! There were no consequences! @CNN is in line with @cbsnews to look for maga$. We all need to support independent journalism!

Thank you Holly!
WOW! Excellent letter!
(📣🎁 Copy, paste, screenshot—GO! 🕯️ Boost your comments so TRUTH can grow! 🌱)
🕯️ “The Legal-Observer Lantern (and the City That Cried)” 🕯️
Oh NO in Minneapolis—cold street, heavy air,
A lantern went trembling with grief everywhere.
They said she was watching—a legal eyes-on,
To note what went right… and what might have gone wrong.
Then POP went the horror—three shots in a flash,
A witness says face—and the world heard the crash.
And instantly—SPIN! came a headline-y fight:
“One side says ‘self-defense!’” — “That story ain’t right!”
The mayor saw video and called it a sham,
“Reckless use of power!” — “Get OUT!” — BAM-BAM-BAM!
And neighbors came running—some angry, some scared,
While gas in the winter air crackled and flared.
Now here is the Lantern-Truth, steady and plain:
When force has no guardrails, people feel pain.
When watchers get punished for simply observe,
The rulebook gets ripped—and the rights start to swerve.
And don’t let them sell you a “blue city” tale—
America’s purple; our shared values prevail:
Honesty, fairness, lawfulness—equal for all,
No matter your party, we rise when we call. 🇺🇸🕯️
So shine, little Lanterns—be calm, be precise:
Demand full accountability—no violence, no vice.
Because democracy dies when the truth can’t be told—
So we carry it forward, brave-hearted and bold. 🕯️✨

Tim Walz keeps looking better and better
Whenever I think of Gov. Walz, it reminds me of the iconic photo of the little kids swarming him in his office when he signed the bill to make school meals free for all Minnesota kids.
https://www.the74million.org/article/minnesota-gov-tim-walz-signs-universal-free-school-meals-into-law/
It was joyous! Something Trump, Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and others in the Regime would know absolutely nothing about.
So right Cheryl about the creeps in this administration being clueless about joy and making sure all kids are taken care of, without question!!! And that includes great schools and everything they need in school! We used to do that! And so much more. But these creeps only get their kicks by being mean. Not a single happy individual among them. For them, being happy is for fools. What empty souls they all have.
Excellent description!
Evil hates joy, happy kids, truth and America. Fighting back is our only choice.
I agree 💯percent!
Waltz lives a life filled with joy, with real community, with deep personal meaning...
so it seems from hearing him talk and reading what he's written, and from all his personal accomplishments and inner strength.
THESE are qualities necessary for true leadership, not the immature, reckless,
and divisive emissions currently being applied in place of ANYTHING helpful.
Unbelievable - these are dangerously unserious, corrupt people. What does the GOP hope to gain by supporting this criminal behavior?
Excellent question Susan!
It appears as though pooty wants a NWO. Thiel, vought, miller, musk, orange, vance, johnson, etc. are all too happy to be the marionettes helping. As are the owners of CBS, NBC, ABC, WGN, CNN. They want their power. They want their money. They want to hide xyz and let the mere mortals suffer. And yes, I realize that pooty is playing BOTH sides of the aisle.
IMO, the owners of those companies were probably involved on January 6th and are trying to cover up. Does anyone know if any of the owners are in the epstein files?
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
you got that right!
The Republicans know that their political future is shaken. They should realize that any of them that work with the Dems in removing this corrupt regime,could actually help their future.
Agree, Judie!
Another insurrection, I'm assuming. 🤬
Sam, far worse than that. Pooty wants a NWO. Orange is happy to help with it.
Susan, I've been wondering that for months.
Numbers?
Oil and power within growing spheres of influence. That's all they know; there is nothing good
everlasting power. They are behaving as if they are never leaving.
I think they are more concerned about what they’ll lose by not backing the regime. They are feckless cowards who fear DJT.
Completely unaware the lemmings scamper towards the cliff.
The biggest clowns in the world got all glamoured up to play war games and tweet. What could possibly go wrong?
And we (Americans) are paying for this "Apprentice war room" I'm so disgusted of this abuse. His hotel is only running because of us.
Everything, as per usual.
War by tweet. What could go wrong?
How does that song go? "Don't bother - they're here.'
So glad MTG is out. CNN is now competing with fake news fox for viewers. Tim Walz is a hero. The fake president and his cabinet are insane clowns. More Dem wins yesterday! 💙
For sure Kathy!
MTG is dangerous, and most likely setting herself up for future political goals. Keep an eye on her.
YEP!!She's a fooler
Her value will improve the longer she says nothing - otherwise, all bets are off.
The Jewish Laser Queen waited to resign to protect her CONGRESSIONAL BENEFITS!
I participated in her ONLINE PROPAGANDA that was BIZARRE & she quickly booted me!
Keep track of THE DOWN BALLOT for races that need support!

Anderson needs to leave to preserve whatever he has left.
Him and Kaitlin Collins!
Agreed.
Don't rejoyce that mtg is gone too soon. She's going to run for another office.
See today's post in the DownBallot substack for details of Tuesday's special election results:

See my comment below, CNN is afraid of being acquired by the Ellison, right wing ideologues that they are.
Really great points
Thanks, Sam.
Not one of them considers consequences of their actions before acting. This slick invasion could upset the entire world order. I’m so very tired of them doing something stupid and then blaming unfortunate outcomes on someone else.
They need to be removed
Nailed it Suzanne! Yup!
I think they DO know. They don’t care. They think they’re special, superior human beings, maybe even gods. The rest of us are just cannon fodder.
Well said and precise!
Scott, kudos on the pinocchio-nose emoji shielding our eyes from Donny this morning — thanks! 😄
Happy to oblige!
LOL! 😅
Scott, have you considered a contest amongst readers to suggest and/or vote on future "masks" to cover Trump's face?
I especially enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday foods. The mashed potatoes one was the best.
Love the town 'East Jesus" - does it have a zip code?
Another mask for deetee: A CAN OF SPAM.
Did anyone else notice the catering staff standing in the background of the makeshift situation room? How incredibly stupid and pathetic is that? They say they can run Venezuela until it becomes legit but what about our own country? It’s like a bunch of middle schoolers playing Battleship while their moms bring them snacks.
OMG that is a great comparison Lisa!
Love. love, love this.
Tump and his crew of chumps playing on Twitter because this whole shitshow is a game to them.. How do we own the libs? How do we get to the end goal peace prize for Donnie? How do we die with the most stuff? As for CNN, I think they are treading a fine line between actual journalism and pleasing the orange doofus enough to avoid blackmail or some other takedown.

Well said Frances!
If stepping down from the governor's race enabled Walz to take the gloves off, then maybe it's not so bad that he did step down. Go, Tim, Go!!!!!
I am hopeful that he will look at other options in government....
I believe he is.
Especially since there are qualified people to step into his shoes.
The opening “This is CNN” use to get peoples attention because it was news you could depend on. Now? There are so few honest journalist left at that network it’s not worth the effort.

Thank you so much Jade!
MTG glad you are gone. When we take back our country, she needs to be investigated for her part in Jan. 6th and insider trading. I want all these criminals to be held accountable for their actions. ALL of THEM!
I agree Kathleen!
I never watch CNN anymore. They have no credibility.
Sure don't!
Meanwhile, Scott, in another place.....
Donald Trump wants Greenland. Not as a trading partner. Not as a defense ally. He wants to fucking own it—and he's now openly discussing military force to make that happen.

Malcolm Nance put up a Substack video on the Greenland situation. It's a must watch.
Here is the link:

All he does is 'want' - both in the word's current use ('gimme, gimme!),
and in older definition (lack, shortcoming).
His greed is bottomless, his lacking of redeemable qualities is breathtakingly deplorable!
Using musks propaganda site should be illegal for any national security but remember Signalgate! There were no consequences! @CNN is in line with @cbsnews to look for maga$. We all need to support independent journalism!
