Clemency, collapse, and cold fronts. Trump’s golden age just froze solid. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s melting down again calling the #Epsteinfiles a “hoax” while his own name shows up in half the emails. Add #KristiNoem’s $200M #DHS ad grift, tariffs flipped on bananas & beef, and the foreign policy circus from hell. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Tariffs down, sea levels up. The #DOJ calls murder “maritime policy,” and Florida’s coral reefs officially quit. #uspolitics #climate #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#ElonMusk just pocketed a $1 trillion payday for accelerating planetary collapse while hedge funds buy up aquifers and call it innovation. #Sustainability is the new resistance. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

The government reopens, the truth leaks out, and Trump brags that groceries cost less because there’s less to buy. Adelita signs, #Epstein’s ghost returns, and Justin Wolfers calls the math what it is: delusion. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Warships off #Venezuela, an empty U.S. seat at #COP30, #MAGA in meltdown, and the Epstein files stirring again. Gavin Newsom calls Trump an “invasive species.” #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s America: pardons for sale, pepper spray for the public, and an #ICE camp planned for the #Oregon Coast. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Forty days of shutdown, eight Dems cave, and Trump celebrates by pardoning the architects of his own coup. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#SNAP is frozen, the ACA’s collapsing, and Mar-a-Lago’s serving snow crab. From Laffer’s napkin to Milei’s karaoke mic, America’s banquet of greed is in full swing. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #governmentshutdown #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

When the present feels impossible to navigate, look backward. History is not a mirror-it's a map. Every rupture we face has its echoes, and every echo holds a choice: rebuild or repeat.

Epstein’s buried billions, Trump’s Russian cash pipeline, two judges who actually did their jobs, and a #Canada that remembered how to build things. America clings to nostalgia; the rest of the world moves on. #uspolitics #governmentshutdown #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump and Orbán’s “bilateral” was less diplomacy, more bromance. Zero crime, zero migrants, $950B in imaginary trade deals, and one very real crush on authoritarian power. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

A judge had to order him to feed 42 million hungry Americans. The White House brags about a Walmart report and Trump stares blankly while the country burns. #uspolitics #governmentshutdown #SNAPbenefits open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Day 37 of the #GOVERNMENTshutdown, Trump’s starving the poor, the markets are melting, and #SCOTUS might finally say “enough.” #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump says he solved a rare-earth crisis “in 20 minutes,” wants his cabinet to sit like Xi’s soldiers, and blames Democrats for geology. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Democracy’s still breathing, barely. The shutdown burns $15B a week, Trump’s tariffs hit #SCOTUS, and The Big Short guy’s shorting AI. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Election Day edition: Cheney dies, Pelosi bows out, Schiff lays bare brutal ICE raids, Democrats fight to rebuild in VA/NJ/NYC, Buffett’s cash pile warns of market froth #uspolitics #electionday2025 open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump spent 60 Minutes proving he doesn’t understand tariffs, nukes, or health care, but he does think he’s better looking than #ZohranMamdani. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

War without Congress, truth without press, and oil without limits, another day in Trump’s America. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#KashPatel used a $60 million #FBI jet to fly his 26-year-old girlfriend to concerts, then “foiled” a terror plot to distract the press. #KyleSeraphin called it exactly before it happened. #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s throwing Gatsby parties while 42 million Americans wonder if they’ll eat. #SNAP’s collapsing, DOJ filings are vanishing, and the courts are the only thing still holding the line. He doesn’t give a damn, he never did. #uspolitics #governmentshutdown open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Two judges had to order Trump to feed America. Let that sink in. #uspolitics #governmentshutdown open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

King Charles purges a prince for #Epstein ties while #Trump, an adjudicated rapist, shuts down the U.S. government to protect his own. One faces exile. The other demolishes the White House. #uspolitics #snapbenefits #governmentshutdown open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump calls his Busan summit a “12 out of 10” while trading #tariffs for fentanyl, soybeans for headlines, and sanity for #nucleartesting. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump just fired half of #ICE and replaced them with #BorderPatrol hardliners who think “chemical warfare” is a valid policing tactic. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Big Tech’s buying indulgences. The Fed’s bribing the market. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s crowds are gone, his polls are tanking, and even #Canada is more popular than he is. We look at what happens when an #authoritarian runs out of applause, from his flop in Asia to starving Americans at home. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #tradewar open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Two Navy crashes, a $130M “mystery donation” with #Epstein fingerprints, and Trump fist-pumping through Tokyo in a gold tie. Meanwhile, Jack Smith’s still outpacing the dimmest of the dullest, literally, the man runs triathlons. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Tariffs on allies, wars in Latin America, food aid frozen, and #Chicago fights back with orange whistles and rain-soaked courage. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

If Trump’s $350M vanity ballroom really costs $3,900 per sq/ft, either the chandeliers are made of plutonium, or the ballroom isn’t the point. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

The Pentagon’s running on donations, Pam Bondi’s “watching” blue-state voters, and Trump’s getting roasted at the World Series. A lone woman in West Virginia and one very unflappable prosecutor remind us #democracy still has a pulse. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#RonaldReagan’s ghost is warning us about #tariffs, the East Wing’s in ruins, and Trump’s calling chaos “strategic budgeting.” #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump’s bulldozing the #EastWing to build his own Winter Palace, suing his own DOJ for $230M, and calling it progress. Meanwhile, Michael Wolff’s suing #Melania, the shadow banks are wobbling, and I’m writing through dental agony. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Europe sent #MarkRutte to play “Trump whisperer.” He came home with sanctions on Russian oil, zero Tomahawks, and a migraine from trying to reason with a man who thinks California can “release the water.” The emperor of unreality strikes again. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s selling tariff fairy tales while 42 million Americans lose dinner and #ACA premiums double. The #WhitHouse is buried in scaffolding, the press in denial. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump hosts a “private” lunch amid the wreckage of the East Wing, brags about $20 trillion in imaginary tariffs, and calls it the sound of money. Democracy’s on the lunch menu. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing, screaming at #Zelensky to surrender, and winning court battles to invent rebellions on cue. America’s under construction, mostly demolition. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Zelenskyy signs Patriot deals behind Trump’s back, AWS forgets how to internet, and Elon’s X buries the No Kings rallies under an Epoch Times poll. Somewhere between Kyiv, California, and the command prompt, democracy’s still buffering #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#RussellVought writes the creed. #StephenMiller lights the fire. The rest of us decide whether democracy burns or fights back. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Seven million marched. Treasury called taxes “surcharges.” DHS deepfaked Black teens into “cartel hitmen.” And the Marines fired live rounds over Interstate 5 to celebrate democracy’s slow collapse. #uspolitics #immigration #tariffs #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

We ask why monarchies can still feel shame while Congress hides the #Epsteinfiles and #Trump plays puppet-king for his shadow president. #PrinceAndrew lost a title. We lost our republic. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#GoldmanSachs is breaking profit records while the real economy cracks beneath it. The AI boom, the bank rot, and the dollar’s decline all share one story: money without value. #uspolitics #techbubble open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump shrugs “Who cares?” as millions prepare to march. The Pentagon’s in chaos, dissent is being labeled terrorism, and civil society’s under siege. #uspolitics #nokings #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump can’t feel shame, but his enablers can. #PamBondi thought she hitched herself to a star; instead she helped bury the law. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump declares eight wars “stopped,” brags about cutting ballroom excavation costs, and unveils his “golden arch” monument while #Congress stays shut down. CIA ops, Filet-O-Fish lunches, and zoning-free architecture, another week in the Republic. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump canonizes #CharlieKirk, threatens foreigners, and throws a tantrum over his #Time magazine halo. Two conservative scholars dropped a 126-page bomb arguing he’s constitutionally disqualified from office. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

If you think weekend protests are enough, think again. #NSPM-7 + spyware = a playbook to chill dissent. Read the plan to push back: legal, strategic, and nonviolent. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #dissent #surveillancestate open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s bragging about $17 trillion, #PeteHegseth biffs on a Qatari base in Idaho, #ICE threatened to shoot an ambulance, and Oregon wants to join Idaho. Also: I correct my own bias on Israel & Palestine. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...
