Trump’s shutdown memo threatens mass firings, his #DOJ fixates on Comey, Biden’s portrait is replaced with an autopen, & Russian bombers buzz Alaska. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

A Nobel laureate warned the UN of an “information Armageddon.” Days later, #JDVance stood in NC and proved her right, pitching federal troops as “help.” Meanwhile, the world openly mocks #Trump as “limited intelligence” & “an idiot.” #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump’s week at the UN: escalator broke, teleprompter died, foreign leaders thundered about genocide and justice and he rage-posted about #JimmyKimmel. The world moves on; he’s still stuck on the stairs. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s #UNGA speech was peak self-parody: bragging he “ended seven unendable wars,” unveiling Operation Midnight Hammer like a Marvel sequel, and scolding world leaders with “your countries are going to hell.” He has become his own most gullible mark. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump turned the #WhiteHouse into a circus: #Tylenol blamed for #autism, Amish cited as case studies, vaccines reimagined as “giant horse shots.” Abroad, #Epstein ties end careers. Here, they get you a Cabinet seat. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#CharlieKirk’s “memorial” looked more like a #MAGA revival, Trump preaching hate, Miller summoning dragons, Musk glad-handing for contracts. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Kimmel fired, Colbert canceled, archivists axed, all to grease the skids for billion-dollar mergers. When profit trumps the First Amendment, democracy is the one getting canceled. #uspolitics #freespeech #corporatocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump spent the week bulldozing history (goodbye Jackson Magnolia), selling visas like VIP passes, shrugging at #Putin’s bombs, and getting his $15B lawsuit laughed out of court as a “vexatious press release.” #uspolitics #immigration #freespeech open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Deportation flights, a dismantled peace vigil, a #Senate rubber stamp, and an ocean on fire, today’s roundup is about cruelty as policy and the First Amendment as contraband. #uspolitics #freespeech #1stAmendment #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s #AirForceOne gaggle was pure turbulence: King Charles as his “wonderful friend,” Bagram mangled into “Bram”, Omar should be “impeached,” and Sadiq Khan somehow blamed for Britain’s border policy. Grievance at cruising altitude. #uspolitics #foreignpolicy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump and #Starmer held a “special relationship” presser at Chequers. One spoke of jobs, peace, and NATO unity. Trump ranted about AutoPens, bragged #TikTok “helped get me elected,” and blamed Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings for his suspension. #uspolitics #foreignpolicy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump gets his golden carriage moment, then a beige business tent with #Starmer. Back home, comedians are silenced, survivors gaslit, and “antifa” turned into a phantom terrorist org while broadcasters chase mergers. #uspolitics #tariffs #foreignpolicy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump arrives in London claiming to be worth $100B — while suing the NYT for $15B in hurt feelings. Today’s roundup: royal pageantry, #tariff tantrums, and ego inflation on steroids. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Long-term unemployment surges, #Trump shackles South Korean workers & loses billions in investment, invents “300M dead from drugs” to excuse killing 11 Venezuelans, and tries to borrow a halo from the #GreenPatriarch. #uspolitics #immigration open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump isn’t just unfit to govern, he’s unfit to be armed. From drone strikes on fishermen to guns at county board meetings, he’s turning violence into policy. Peaceful disruption, strikes, boycotts, walkouts, is the only answer. #uspolitics #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

James Madison wanted the Constitution to “protect the minority of the opulent against the majority.” Part-time America, #NATO on edge, Trump golfing through Article 5, ICE burning alliances, and #ElonMusk FaceTiming fascism into London. #uspolitics #immigration open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s latest “war on drugs” stunt? Blowing up a Venezuelan boat, killing 11 civilians, then calling them terrorists with zero proof. Even #RandPaul is crying #dueprocess.

Trump’s America: farms bankrupt, allies raided, protests censored, war profiteers circling, and the #Epsteinfiles cover-up growing deeper. Even the boos get banned. #uspolitics #immigration open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump just rebranded cartel busts as “war” livestreaming boat strikes, inflating drug deaths into Civil War casualties, and floating a “Department of War” rename.

Trump’s #RoseGarden “Club” dinner, a $17T fantasy economy, war.gov crashing on launch, Hyundai’s mega-raid, and #Zelensky laughing #Putin off: “He can come to Kyiv.” Roses may bloom, but democracy is wilting. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s #OvalOffice meeting with Poland’s president was a meltdown in real time: “safe zones” in D.C., tariffs that “ended seven wars,” rants about #GavinNewsom’s hands and dismissing #Epstein survivors as a “Democrat hoax”. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s Cabinet meeting was less governance, more reality show audition. Nobel Prizes for #POTUS, a “Department of War,” miracle tariffs, and #MarcoRubio raging about weddings on football Saturdays. I fact-checked the fantasy. #USpolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...
