🚨 ACTION REQUIRED: The nation's top law enforcement officer should not be the Trump's personal criminal defense attorney. It's a massive conflict of interest.

Outrageous! How do these people look in the mirror every single day and not want to crawl in a hole for the horrific things they are doing to our country??? Where are the people who swore to uphold the constitution? Where are the real Americans? I want our America back, the one I’ve known for 71 years. It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t the shameful, blatantly outrageous and illegal, heartless disaster it is now.

I can't think of a word that describes the psychological equivalent of AIDS or COVID,

but to me that is close to the extent of decimation this administration has inflicted on

not only our country but also on the entire world, like the spreading of a catastrophic medical epidemic. People like Scott and the other long-lived workers on Substack are working along several different lines of approach in search of 'the cure' to the malady these selfish purveyors of hate and division have concocted.

My apologies to any who have suffered directly or otherwise from

AIDS or COVID. My comparison meant no insult.

Thank you, Scott!

Right! Agree, Kate 555!

Yes! Totally agree!

Those six Idahoans who sued and won, plus everyone who showed up day after day at the Georgia Capitol—these are the everyday heroes giving me real hope right now.

As a teacher, it hits different knowing that in the same week we honor Juneteenth, ordinary people refused to let votes get weakened and refused to let fear win.

In a similar way that words get distorted and misapplied or misunderstood, in the church

the word 'saint' has too long been held in an imagined reserve, to be applied only to those who have died or in some way become a martyr. It applies to anyone who attends worship services and is trying to apply the lessons there to their everyday lives WHILE BEING ALIVE. As you've note true heroes are less likely to get written up in the news because their lives take personal sacrifice beyond their own life's needs and desires.

Absolutely feeling it. The Idaho Six winning in federal court, eighteen states forcing Trump to drop his wind ban, and Georgia’s power grab collapsing under packed protests in the same week as Juneteenth—these aren’t random. They’re proof the tough-guy act is cracking and he’s beatable.

Who else is fired up and ready to keep stacking these victories? 💪

You betcha we are, Sam!

Minnesota is gearing up for November! Got some great candidates, good energy!

Renee Goodman's avatar

Sam, YES, we are all in this together!!!

Richard Waddell's avatar

He'll give up and TRY to walk away, saying smugly that he got bored of all of the

fake-ness.

It bothers me whenever a story mentions the 13 Americans killed in Trump's Iran war but fails to mention the 3400+ other people killed by Trump in the war, including the 168 at the girls' school.

LEJ's avatar

Agreed!!! Also, I think that more than 13 Americans were killed. They are lying about that, too.

DillyDooBee's avatar

It was reported elsewhere that additional schools were bombed as well as a gymnasium where kids were playing.

Also reported that RUSSIAN provided the INTELLIGENCE.

A new meme says that he’s the first man in history to go to war and defeat himself.

Carol Gawle's avatar

You know, I've been with you since Kickstarter and the thing I like best about you is that you back up the hope you give us with action!!! Thank you, Scott!!!

"Sen. Jon Ossoff said it plainly: “He is a disgraced president, humiliated on the world stage by his failed war", weak policy, not ethics, no compassion and on the day that The Obama Presidential Center opened - poetic justice!

Steve Willetts's avatar

Funny how every week the “unstoppable regime” keeps running into courts, voters, facts, and occasionally its own incompetence. The wind ban got blown away, the bathroom law got flushed, and Georgia’s map-drawing scheme couldn’t even get out of the driveway. At this rate, their biggest policy success might be creating work for judges.

Happy Juneteenth—and cheers to watching bullies discover that reality has a veto.

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Well said, Steve. And cleverly too!

Mike Hammer's avatar

The history of Trump regime will be written with emphasis on his raping, pillaging and plundering where violent and non- violent crimes were institutionalized and often condoned. His only needs to stay out of jail and keep the cash flowing. His bootlickers’s jobs protect him at all costs and wreak havoc.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Has everyone noticed Liddle Marco lately: he looks exhausted, defeated, tired 'n wrinkly. That bootlicker job takes a toll, and those folks can get tossed under the bus in a nanosecond - and they all know that. JD already has tire tracks on his back. Next?

Mike Hammer's avatar

I call him micro Rubio

Cherae Stone's avatar

Stack ‘em up!!!

Patti Scott's avatar

Lil Marco needs his water bottle!

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Yep, Judy. Trump demands loyalty, ut gives nine. He gas and will throw people under the bus. He lives to blame others and us a bully. An asskisser pays a high price but must be too stupid to see the cost. Yes. Next,?

LEJ's avatar

Rubio looks like he sold his soul to the devil - which he absolutely did.

Richard Waddell's avatar

To deal with and join this administration is to the deal with the devil.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Judy, you are so correct! Hopefully they all go down soon!

Cherae Stone's avatar

It’s palpable, yes, and the Obama Presidential Center’s opening was glorious!!

Chris Fox's avatar

Good news for democracy 👏 👍

Michelle K Irwin's avatar

My everyday heroes are Michelle and Barak Obama... Their speeches yesterday reminded me of the promise of democracy, the way life can be and how to treat each other... Luv it that, of course, Don-Old was not invited to the Presidential Library opening!!!

Aah, finding you when I first turn on my phone is the most heartening way to start my day-- even before I've had coffee! Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do, and the delightful person you are, Scott! 😄🌿💙

We should have known that when trump was saying “complete and total surrender” he was talking about himself and how he planned on ending the war with Iran.

Chief rapist and loser. That anyone would back this self absorbed loser calls into question their own integrity
