Last night was very good news for the preservation of democracy in the United States. That’s getting a lot of media coverage, and that is also good news.

“king” Trump, his unethical vassals, and his Republican Congressional servants, are not only doing everything they can to keep America trapped in carbon energy to serve the billionaires who rent the Republican Party, ...

While “king” Trump, the Congressional Republicans, and the Trump oligarchs are trying to keep the United States in the prison of carbon energy, other countries are quickly making the transition into an era of renewable, non-polluting energy. This is what is happening in Australia.

I have used Melatonin as a sleep aid for some time, but stopped when I read this. If you have heart issues and are using melatonin, I would suggest you stop.

This is a corruption story that is not getting anywhere near enough media coverage. The billionaires contributing to “king” Trump’s turning the White House from the traditional 18th-century mansion it has been for centuries, ...

This is the heartless Republican scum the Americans in Florida’s 6th District chose to represent them.

This is an accurate story of how it came to be that the Republicans stopped caring or having any interest in the wellbeing of voters. What surprises me, election after election, is why American voters don’t seem to comprehend this.

The one part of American democracy that is still working and enforcing the Constitution is the lower courts of the Judicial branch of government. 1/2

Almost every day now, the Republican members of Congress, by their actions, in contrast to their words, demonstrate that they are uninterested in the wellbeing of the people who voted them into office. Do you think Americans are waking up to this reality? We will see later today.

This story, and the Trump administration, are so vile, I am not sure I have the adjectives to describe Trump and his incompetent vassals.

“The Trump administration has confirmed that no high-level representatives will be sent by the US to upcoming UN climate talks in Brazil, underscoring the administration’s hostile stance towards action on the climate crisis.” Think about that for a minute.

Yesterday I posted an article on what a sad shadow 60 Minutes and CBS have become since the compary was bought by a Republican supporting billionaire. Well, as bad as I thought it was, it was actually worse. They edited the interview to conceal Trump’s psychopathic behavior.

Gen Z, individuals born between 1997 and 2012, played a role in ‘king” Trump’s election to his second term, and I have been wondering what role they will play in the 2026 elections.

The United States was once known as a world leader and an example of democracy. All of that has been destroyed by “king” Trump and his incompetent vassals. For the first time in the history of the U.N., the United States has been called out for what amounts to war crimes.

“king” Trump’s incompetent administration has declared a mass murder on a species of owl. Trump’s administration cares nothing about seeing young children have enough to eat, but are happy to focus on changing nature.

I concur with Aaron Parnas. 60 Minutes and CBS, once the standard for excellence in television journalism, have become a sad shadow of what they once were. Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite would be ashamed of what both the network and 60 Minutes have become, ...

I grew up in a multi-generational medical family. My father was an internationally recognized anesthesiologist, my mother was a nurse, two of my great aunts were nurses who founded national organizations, two uncles were physicians, and it all traced back generations.

I don’t think anything could more clearly illustrate “king” Trump’s uninterest in the wellbeing of Americans than this story.

Even in the Soviet Union, at the height of the Cold War, it was not as dangerous to walk the streets, particularly if you are not a White person, as it is today in the United States, and it is about to get worse, as this article describes.

“king” Trump and the Republicans are dismantling the United States, both as a democracy and a world leader nation. It has become so dangerous to come to the United States, particularly as a person of color, that people aren’t coming, as this article describes.

Today, we got what may turn out to be good news about the continuation of SNAP from two courts with ethical judges. That is, if the Trump coup administration follows what the court orders. That used to be a given, but under the Trump coup, that is no longer always the case.

We now live in a country where combat-armed masked thugs racially profile and accost people at shopping malls. How would you feel if you came out of a Walmart or a Costco, and such a thug came up to you demanding where you came from and that you show him your identification papers?

Gaza has been rendered unlivable by the Israelis, and that is not an anti-semitic comment. MAGAT world chooses not to distinguish between Jews and Israel. Israel is a multi-religious nation.

The defining characteristics of the Trump vassals are their incompetence, their nastiness, and their desire to live the life of the uber-rich, and be protected while doing so from ordinary Americans. No one demonstrates this more openly than Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

I wonder how many Americans realize that dictator Trump is spending hundreds of millions of dollars of your tax dollars to pay the costs of putting the National Guard and his ICE Gestapo in American cities to harass and detain thousands of men, women, and children.

Human societies are becoming less democratic and more neo-medieval. A tiny group of men and women, just as in the 14th century, overwhelmingly owns or controls the assets of humanity, and shapes the way their societies treat Earth.

Have you noticed how dictator Trump’s vassals all seek to emulate him? Did you realize that Christie Noem, Stephen Miller, and others have forced generals and admirals out of their homes so they can live on military bases, ...

It has been 33 years since a nuclear weapon was exploded in the United States, but dictator Trump who, I think, neither knows nor cares about what nuclear explosions cause, is about to start this stupidity again.

About to lose your Medicaid coverage, won’t be able to afford your health insurance fees with the coming rise? Well, you needn’t worry about the Representative or Senators.

Donald Trump, convicted felon, sex offender, multiple bankrupt, was elected to the Presidency largely because a large White segment of the American voter population did not want people of any color to come into the country.

The 2040 catastrophe I have long been warning you about looks ever more inevitable. As the Secretary General of the UN has warned, after studying the scientific research, “Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately.”

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), according to the National Institutes of Health is the most accepted diagnostic test for psychopathology. But that test Donald Trump is a psychopath, and I suspect the same could be said for a number of Republican leaders, and many voters.

I have been describing for you, for two decades, what I have called the Great Schism Trend (see SR archive) that is making the United States two cultures in a single nation. Two cultures that are increasingly divergent and hostile.

Today, I got the third email I have received since August from an SR reader living overseas telling me they are giving up their American citizenship. I have known many Americans living overseas, but until recently,

The sheer nastiness of Trump and the Republican Party is beyond my comprehension. What kind of person doesn’t care that fellow Americans won’t get enough to eat? Yet that is what is going to happen Saturday unless something changes.

Trump and the Republican fascists, aided by the Supreme Court fascist majority, are doing everything in their power to rig the outcome of the 2026 election. The only thing that is going to stop this is an overwhelming majority of American voters voting only for Democrats.

For 34 years I have been describing the negative reality of America’s illness profit system. On a factual basis, it is the worst healthcare system in the developed world. 1/3 @dailykos.com

Part of America’s transition from a democratic republic to an authoritarian neo-medieval society, is that just as was the case in the 14th century, the rich and powerful care nothing for the welllbeing of the peasants.

The decline across the developed world in the number of children being born is a major civilization changing trend that is getting very little coverage in the media or being discussed by anyone but researchers. This article lays it all out very well, with one exception.

Dictator Trump has now authorized ICE to take the next step in its Gestapo tactics. Trump has authorized ICE to use a spyware programn called Pegasus on the phones of people who oppose him.

In yet another demonstration of his utter uninterest in the wellbeing of Earth or Americans, particularly the indigenous tribes of Alaska, Trump is now allowing the devastation of the Arctic National Park. I have been there; it is an awe-inspiring, long-protected wilderness.

“Researchers have revealed that the U.S. government doles out over $30 billion in funding to support the fossil fuel industry every year.” Think about that for a. moment.

No one illustrates the incompetence of the Trump administration than Robert Kennedy, Jr, Secretary of Health and Human Services. I know children who would be more competent in that position than Kennedy, whose only qualification seems to be his surname and his submissive loyalty to his king.

While China, Europe, and Japan have developed very sophisticated high speed-passenger rail, in fiscal year 2022, Amtrak’s long-distance trains averaged only 48 mph between stations.

The other day, I published a lengthy academic study showing that Americans have shorter lives, and are less healthy in general than populations in other developed countries. Now another study has just been published showing that research data has redefined obesity.

Every day, I am amazed at how many Americans, particularly in Red States, still support Trump and the Republican Party, given what is happening in the country and in their own lives. Here is an example of just what I mean.

Every scientist who is competent to do research on climate change describes a coming disaster unless there is a dramatic transition ending carbon energy and transitioning to non-polluting renewable energy.

How is it possible that the richest country in the world has tens of millions of its people facing lack of food issues? What kind of country is the United States, and why is adequate food not driving tens of millions into the streets in nonviolent demonstrations. We need 3.5% of Americans doing this

It should be clear to you and anyone else paying any attention to what is going on, that fascists such as Trump and the Republican Party at both the state and federal level, care not all about the wellbeing of ordinary Americans.

The military-industrial corporate system in the United States, and the military itself, is being corrupted like every other agency of government, as the Trump Republican Party oligarch fascist coup continues.
