I love this style of newsletter. Easy on the brain and palate and full of info. And I am just finishing up my Trader Joe Organic Sumatra cup of coffee.

Please include puppy pics on a regular basis. Two of my other newsletters refer to them as "gratuitous".

Indeed! So frustrating given that when I drop it in for grammar & spellchecks etc sometimes it changes the content and I have to go back in and fix it. Sigh…

You're probably better off with a dedicated grammar and spelling app.

I use Grammarly. It’s excellent. I use it daily, and it really improves my writing and helps me sound literate.

Thank you Olivia: What a paranoid world we are becoming. Kash Patel is such a distasteful human that he has got to polygraph his employees. The only way to fight this scourge is to get a few moles into the FBI. Yes and a great big heartfelt hug for those brave border breaking Mexicans who are assisting with the tragic devastation in Texas. For Gods sake don't tell SS Homan and the ice gestapo they are there. Take five Olivia and give Ringo and Stevie a good workout. Thanks for all you do.

Trump posted he’s considering revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship, I’m assuming because she has a voice & a trusted platform. She is a US born & raised citizen. A line is being crossed, as if it hadn’t been already.

I honestly still do not understand how Kash Patel was confirmed for the job. He posted a meme of himself chainsawing members of congress, and said Putin agrees the 2020 election was stolen, as if that would add validity to the claim. He also wrote a children's book about King Trump. How did all of that possibly get past the Senate, or did I miss something?

You didn’t miss anything. That was the repub senate obeying and bending the knee to their toddler king. They don’t care about anything other than their power and of course, their toddler king.

RE: "all the cruelty, none of the economic gain". The cruelty is the point. It's the purpose.

I know a lot of MAGA people. Face to face, they are kind, sweet folks. But they have deputized cruelty. How did we ever get here?

Thanks for calling attention to the fact that Mexico showed up to help in Texas before Noem allowed FEMA to be funded to help. Her priority was what outfit to wear. As always, I totally appreciate your voice.

OMG all of the guardrails are falling off! I knew this would happen eventually because of all the clowns put in charge of the vitally important departments. Just going a little faster than I thought it would! HELP!!!

Thank you, if Americans ALL don’t fight back those in charge including Musk will do so much damage it could be impossible to fix.

I worry there’s more at play here. With Pay Pal Mafia (nickname for 5 or more tech Billionaires) a few not born in USA (Musk,Theil) Zuckerberg, several more names that fail me now. But these guys want to privatize our Gov they waited until the found the 2 useful idiots with Vance Greed, DJT EGO and ignorance perfectly match.

Ever wonder why Masters didn’t go far in AZ politics he was bought by Theil?

Theil found a better candidate that was easier to handle. Theil somehow became aware of Vance who just got out of marines & needed a job!

Theil asked a friend to give him a job at Equity firms, Vance didn’t work out on 3 firms that Theil help him for some reason. Theil gave him money to start his own Equity firm! Why? Firm went under within 2 yrs, Next $ to put him in Senate. Then Theil paid for VP i believe $$ went to DJT for VP.

How do I know this gotta love Rachel Maddow investigated report on her show because Vance came out of nowhere. Why did Theil do this?

Look up PayPal Mafia on Google even TikTok has it. I don’t remember the entire reason but bottom line is they want to own (privatize) Fed Gov agencies. It’s so far fetched that makes DJT look like idiot with all his craziness.

But bottom line we best get these damn Republicans in line to IMPEACH TRUMP or they will pay dearly. I know it sounds like we won’t have elections if it’s up to DJT but we can’t allow him to do that

Why are there Barricades around WH & TREASURY DEPT of all places?

We need to have boycotts of every donor DJT had from Tech, Casinos, Grocery Corps, with a walk out day of work from Wall Street, healthcare, Tech, Car Manufacturers, & GAS for 1 week, whatever else.

THE ONLY THING THESE ASSHOLES LOOK AT IS THEIR BOTTOM LINES.

I worry this will go to Civil war within America as DJT sits does nothing because he thrives on Chaos & violence as ICE belittles, uses violence to intimidate and humiliate people.

I am sickened by this as a person on SSI iam scared these Evil people will attack our income as most that are on SS iam scared one morning they will stop all payment for the heck of it. Because all are Billionaires and could care less how the got there.

Trump is aiming for some end game just don’t know what it is. I keep thinking it about Russia it seems to be his only long term connection. Which is Dictatorship. I am already wore out but I can’t be for my Grandkids what is your suggestion we can just let this all go Republicans made a show of Trump being indicted it’s time Republicans held accountable for allowing this crap to happen they can’t all be MAGA? Most good ones just walked out on America. Sad
