Thanks, Olivia!! You’re speaking the things I’ve been questioning 😁.

I think I would disagree on HF - I believe they hid things a little better. But I also think you have better sources and first have experience. Lol.

So much of it sounds unbelievable when you read it, but then here we are (e.g. Opus Dei - get healthy smart people, they don’t cost as much. ). I won’t digress lol

I hope you are getting some time away from this in TX.

Spending time on a Saturday morning with a writer who is a dog lover, recognizes how important an ASL interpreter is for equal access, and values faith - I’m in the right place! Very thankful for all you do.

As always, Olivia, the most insightful commentary of the week. It’s like we live in bizarro world. The groups preparing for MAGA after Trump should be bone chilling to all of us in the US. As an Arizona resident, it’s unsurprising to me an AZ businessman would fund these projects. Although we have a Democratic governor and 2 Democratic senators, this is still a red leaning state and they are full-on MAGA. We can only hope the midterms right this sinking ship.

Thank you for this beautiful email message today. Would you please run for President in 2028????? You would be great. I just don't understand how so much corruption is being done in our country and no one can stop it (him, tRUMP). All the lies we people hear is outrageous. I can just say, "LORD, help us all". Keep informing us always. I always tell people to check out Olivia Troye, she is one smart cookie!!! Yes, you are and THANKS again.

Olivia, as always an insightful read.

Is it me, or does it seem that Trump watched Netflix’s How to become a tyrant and is taking bits and pieces from every dictator? Just saying… It would be comical except that his tactics are like mixing bleach and a bunch other cleaning supplies in an enclosed space. And we are all trapped in that room.

Reading about how ASL interpreters were excluded makes my blood boil, but doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Thank you for keeping us informed. Stay safe, we need you!

I think the worst part is that when Nick Fuentes I believe said I love Stalin...

Stolen probably the most murderous person that's ever existed on the planet Earth his policies and actions and gulags murder between 15 and 20 million people.

Anybody aligning themselves or praising that kind of human meaning Nick Fuentes should be thrown out of the country immediately

If Fuentes loves Stalin so much, he should move to Russia.

Thanks Olivia: When I look through the 2025 agenda I sense a Nazi , fascist ideology . Everything Trump is doing and has done smells of Nazi Germany. Destroying checks and balances, stacking the departments with loyalists who are unqualified. The rounding up of immigrants to face deportation by the ICE gestapo units under the direction of SS Homan . I think of the enabling act 1933 Germany where Hitler wanted to rule by decree, Trump wants the same thing. Even back in 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia Nazis, Klansmen, and far-right militias. Some groups chanted racist and antisemitic slogans and carried weapons, Nazi and neo-Nazi symbols ...Trump claiming "there are good folks on either" side causes me some concern. Stephen Miller is a vile evil fellow. Russell Vought enjoys bringing trauma to common folks. I have no idea what the Heritage Foundation was like before, but I believe they had a hidden agenda. Just my thoughts.
