No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Donald Trump is mentally unwell. Any reporter who covers him as if this should not be considered and addressed when writing about his acting as “President” is seriously failing at their job.

If only there was a mechanism to remove a mentally disabled president from office. Oh, wait…
If only there was a VP and cabinet majority that understood their duty granted by the 25th amendment…

I was one of those people who thought sadism, sociopathy and utter inhumanity would be disqualifying characteristics for election to the nation's highest office. I still believe the expanding expression of those characteristics should be disqualifying to continue in the nation's highest office.

This shouldn’t be a one-day story. Trump’s sick response to the brutal murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner should finally cause decent people to say enough is enough, that the 25th Amendment is there for a reason. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

I felt compelled to record this video after the Trump responded to the Reiner killing by attacking him, lying about what happened and exploiting the event to praise himself. This is sick. This is evil. And I couldn’t let it go without responding.

Re: Donald Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner.
Rob Reiner was a compassionate human, a devotee of democracy, a necessary moral voice and a greatly gifted creative artist.
Donald Trump is a sick sociopath and a hateful person who dishonors the human race every time he opens his mouth.

Are they kidnappers or federal agents empowered by Trump and unfettered by the Constitution and the rule of law? It's hard to tell the difference. Some lawmakers are fighting back. These men must be unmasked and required to show their IDs. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

My original thought was it’s a horror that Trump is in office for America’s 250th anniversary. Now I’m pleased that we will be reminded by our founders every day in 2026 that they fought to free themselves from a tyrannical despot and we must, too.

This lawless abuse needs to stop. That includes Congress demanding the end to masked agents. Every Republican is complicit.
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
