In a world of Donald Trump and his Administration, be a Kunal Nayyar. I look forward to your Saturday posts Olivia. They confirm what I already know, but the context you provide is the clarity we desperately need.

I’m so glad to see you include the story on Kunal Nayyar. I wish more people would use their wealth to do good rather than the self-serving actions we hear about every day.

I will definitely be tuning in to The State of the Swamp on Tuesday.

Great stuff Olivia. I love how your flyer reads like a Coachella lineup. So who’s bringing the surprise performance of AOC? Lol. 😆 great stuff sounds like a wonderful event. super excited.

Trump comes off as creepy old man stopping meetings to say how beautiful women are??? That sounds cringe. I can just see your face dropping like he really just said that???

The fake Ice calls that’s scary and alarming that people would be so fucked up casually. just trying to have innocent people deported. They act robotic.

And Lutnik he just comes off as corrupt. That sounds like a corrupt move. Thanks Enjoy your weekend.

I wish Democrats in the House and Senate would attend the State of the Swamp SOTU rather than the real thing.

Every one of them should shout "YOU LIE!" and walk out in unison.

The Board of Peace actually appears to be a “personal” project/cash grab/for DJT. He’s Chair for life? Where is the $1B membership being deposited? We are paying for his pet projects. As an Economist, I’m uncertain we actually know how much of our money has been diverted from Congressional determination (they run the USA pocketbook) to DJT’s pet projects of Venezuela, giving earth minerals to UAE, sending troops to Iran, killing boaters on the Atlantic, giving money to other countries, tearing down the East Wing…without any prior notice or authorization. He’s a deranged whirling dervish. Our budget is f*d for more generations than I can calculate. Not to mention his damage to our air and water. He has no concept of limited resources and his concepts of reality shrink more with each passing day. I’ve lived a life of calmness, by design. Not because bad things haven’t happened. He has a life of zero impulse control. Everyone in NYC, I dare say NY State is aware. Go to Staten Island. A haven of self-employed contractors. There are so many with genuine stories of personal theft of contractors. I’ve worked in the high rise industry. There are numerous respected Association organizations that train building and property managers, post graduate. That lobby for protections for high rise. That work with FD & PD’s to provide the safest evacuation and rescue plans. DJT & company have never belonged to any of them or collaborated with any reputable companies. He’s never served on Boards of Directors of Associations or Non-Profits, but his own. He doesn’t know what he is doing. Now he’s dumping the East Wing on a golf course—hazardous waste and revered artifacts included. It’s unbelievable to me, how frightened everyone is of him. Continually adulating his four year old ego. Congress must stop this by any legal means necessary. It doesn’t mean he’ll obey, but at least it’s proof of high crimes and misdemeanors. He’d be buried in the sand with jelly on his toupee if he did this in numerous countries.

I listened (on YouTube) to the conversation between the Nashville comedian and the kindergarten teacher who called in. It was awful. 😞

Thanks Olivia. Such a valuable insight into the shitfuckery going on in these awfully troubled times. Just one comment - this sentence doesn’t make sense “None of America’s major European democracies joined.”

I was trying to say no democracy allies of America joined. I just clarified it so it’s not muddled. Thank you.

Looking forward to Tuesday's Swamp event!

That kindergarten teacher is our American Stasi, ratting out innocent people.

Another terrific article, Olivia. Its the unreported stories that you write about that more fully reveal the horrors of the Trump regime. Real patriots take stands and report what you, and many others, are doing. Thank you. Have a good weekend.

In a world of Karoline Leavitt be an Olivia Troye. Thank you for your work.

Olivia is one of a kind — the best kind❣️

Thanks Olivia: Yes the Dilley Texas concentration camp has got me in a rage. It hard to imagine the gestapo guards are confiscating children's toys and letter they are writing complaining about the putrid drinking water and the bug infested maggot rich food. The governor of Texas is a terrible chunk of human trash allowing that to go on in the fine state of Texas.

When we talk of normalization, ever think how much dystopia has already been normalized?

- Russia love is normal

-A Supreme Court owned and operated by billionaires is normal

- Indicting political rivals is normal

- Marco Rubio is normal. Along with JD Vance no one has collapsed harder.

- And for decades now, a cable station lying to its viewers is totally normal. 80M Americans LOVE it

I could do this all night
