Think of this country like the Brooklyn Bridge. It took 14 years to build the thing. A single bomb could wipe it out in a minute. Trump is like a bomb hitting the Brooklyn Bridge. It will take generations to rebuild, it it ever is rebuilt. And that will demand justice and punishment and correction, from the Supreme Court on down. Is America ready to do that hard work? I doubt it at the moment, but keep pissing us off and there may be scythes and pitchforks in the streets.

Look at ElectionTruthAlliance.org, please! American voters did NOT put Trump/Vance in office in 2024—Elon Musk did, via cellphone modems & Starlink, after voting had begun, to change votes to provide the numbers needed to win in all seven swing states. Independent audits are needed because the numbers defy logic. And in 2020, he thought it was rigged like in 2016, when Putin’s cyber boys helped out and spread misinformation/took over identities on FB. His incompetence cost him the election in 2020, so he tried everything he could, starting with the Big Lie that he’d won, tried over 60 court cases but presented no evidence of voter fraud by Democrats, and the violent attack on the Capitol to try to stop the certification of the election that Biden/Harris won. Trump fought against the legal transfer of power. He could not countenance defeat by a woman of color, so he got help, a little secret between him & Elon.
Thank you a thousand times over for saying this! I’m tired of being the only one to point out that we most assuredly did NOT elect Donald to any public office ever. Granted, it is sick and disgusting that he has any real support at all, but that’s a topic for another day.
Dr. Trump once used the words “if he won legitimately” in one of her articles, and I cheered her for that. Looks like I was premature.
Her uncle is someone who has been eating, sleeping and breathing crime and nothing but crime, for nearly three quarters of a century. He is hard wired for evil. He couldn’t do an honest thing even if someone were to prove to him absolutely that he would gain more by doing so than he would by cheating. He loves to get away with crime and to then brag about it. This makes him feel vastly superior to all of us suckers who take the time to read the rules and play by them. Why do you think he has thanked Elon for his knowledge of the counting machines? Why do you think he talked about the “little secret“ he had with Mike Johnson? That’s his way of bragging to us that he stole the election without actually using the word “I stole the election“.
You know all of this. I am surprised that Dr. Trump does not.
Given his character and track record, it is far crazier to think that he did not cheat than that he did.
I’ve been saying that since the morning after the election, since the moment it was called for him.
It is just astounding that this is not obvious to pretty much everyone.
Dr. Trump, for the love of all this country stands for, please, PLEASE, PLEASE stop saying we “elected” your monster of an uncle.
Please look into and write about his thefts of the 2016 and 2024 elections, along with his attempt to steal 2020, something at which failed only because of the ginormous surge in mail in voting brought on by Covid. To think we were saved by a virus!
To ignore this reality, to remain in denial, is to aid and abet team Donald in the theft of the 2026 midterms. If they get away with manufacturing a more MAGA house and Senate than we have now, we are all fucked for the rest of our lives.
Please check out www.electiontruthalliance.org, and also the This Will Hold substack. Tomorrow, when I am at my computer instead of on my phone, I will attach some of the articles about the theft of some of the swing states.
The bottom line from Trump and international relations is he's doing exactly what his hero Putin wants him to do. The "strong leader" is really Putin's puppet. I wish the political commentators would spell it out for the American people. Trump is a traitor.
Great piece, Mary❤️. Your writing keeps me drawn in the entire way, even with the traumatizing subject. Thank you for keeping your foot on his neck. That image of him 🤮. Zero damage to an ear hit by an AR15. Everything is a LIE.
I recently started watching Handmaids Tale, which originally aired in 2017, and the book upon which it is based was written in 1985.It is incredibly prescient as to what is happening in our country now and makes me almost wonder if Project 2025 took its cues from that story. the strategy for how Gilead came to be includes the presence of extreme right wing religious groups who plan how to develop a coup to take over. They state first attack the white house, then congress, then universities. Target liberals, LGBTQ people, limit women's access to higher education or participating in meaningful employment, particularly at universities, media and publishing companies. They are raising concerns about the low birth rates and orchestrate laws where the women's place is in the home to have babies, no outside employment.
Currently, There have been several reports lately of the decrease in the number of births with some concern about the potential effect on the economy. There are several religious groups promoting the idea of the woman's place as being in the home. The story illustrates how people noticed some of the changes that were happening, but not giving them a serious consideration. This is where we are right now. Many people are calling out the atrocities and corruption and where this might lead, but even more people are not really paying attention and some are supporting what is happening. The huge ICE militias use immigration as a front for the larger use. This is trump's own private militia to use against those who oppose him. They have carte blanche to operate as aggressively as they want with no accountability.
Mary, completely unrelated, can I get a little help from someone from your team? Thanks. I received a bill for BackStory Serial, but I don't think there are any new chapters. Thanks.

Yes. The administration underestimates our anger.
Excellent summary. Clear and easy to read. Thank you.
What an indictment of your uncle, and the agenda of his regime. Succinct and devastating. Thank you for this.
It’s what he does best: destroy
